The Book of Ezekiel

Ezekiel is a person who was in exile. Maybe the closest image that we could think of Ezekiel is like a forced migrant, someone for political and military invasion found himself in a land that is not his land. Like all the other prophets, Ezekiel pronounces a message of judgment where he is trying to understand what this crisis of exile, the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple means for the people of God. But also like other prophets, judgment is not separated from God's work of salvation. It is part of the way God works salvation and transformation and change.
