📚 Historical Context

In the book of Ezekiel, the prophet receives a vision of the abominations and idolatry committed by the people of Israel inside the Temple in Jerusalem, highlighting their deep unfaithfulness to God. This verse expresses God's declaration of judgment, indicating that due to their persistent sins, He will act in wrath without mercy during the Babylonian conquest. Historically, this vision occurred around the 6th century BC, amid the exile of Judah as a consequence of their rebellion against God's covenant.
