| Summary: | In this study the different roles of Ezekiel are examined. God acts, speaks and even feels through Ezekiel. As a priest he is a representative of God and the people. In the final vision, Ezekiel’s role is extended and intensified. As God’s representative, he assists in securing and regulating a promising future and offers others a glimpse into it. In that manner, he serves as an identification model for others, particularly in his commitment to God. There are good reasons for assuming a historical prophet Ezekiel, but the historical picture is of less importance than the styled picture in the book. This shows that the emphasis lays on God Himself. |
