📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet and priest among the Jewish exiles in Babylon, where he received divine visions to convey God's messages to His people. In an earlier vision by the Chebar River, as described in Ezekiel chapter 1, he witnessed the glory of the God of Israel in a dramatic display of heavenly splendor. This verse in chapter 8 connects back to that initial experience, affirming that God's majestic presence remained with Ezekiel even in the midst of foreign captivity.
