📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet among the Jewish exiles in Babylon during the 6th century BC, following the devastating destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by the Babylonians in 586 BC. In this vision, God supernaturally transports him to a valley filled with dry bones, symbolizing the spiritual and national death of Israel due to their exile and defeat. This sets the stage for a profound prophecy about God's ability to restore and revive His people.
