During a devastating time of upheaval, Ezekiel and Daniel experienced dramatic visions of glory, apocalypse, and ultimate restoration. These prophetic revelations comforted their fellow Babylonian exiles with spectacular insight into YAHWEH’s sovereignty despite the surrounding chaos and uncertainty.
The book of Ezekiel bursts with vivid descriptions of heavenly visions, strong judgments, and incomprehensible divine love. Watch dire warnings of covenant judgment give way to beautiful promises of undeserved blessing and renewal. Through it all, God’s powerful acts and redemptive promises display his heart for us to know and adore. Daniel recounts timeless stories of heroes displaying unshakable faith and integrity amid the moral and ethical pressures of the surrounding culture. This extraordinary wisdom encourages and guides us today, while Daniel’s stunning apocalyptic visions provide assurance that God is at work even in the darkness of end times.
We gain wisdom and confidence for today from these accounts of YAHWEH preserving his people in exile and majestically proclaiming his plan for their, and our, redemption.
You will be my people, and I will be your God. I will save you from everything impure within you. –Ezekiel 36:28–29
