Ezekiel Explained: A Bible Study
Who wrote the Book of Ezekiel? What is the Book of Ezekiel about? The Book of Ezekiel contains some of the most striking visions and severe warnings in all of Scripture. Written to exiles in Babylon, the prophet Ezekiel emphasizes the absolute sovereignty and holiness of God. When God's glory departs from a rebellious Jerusalem, all hope seems lost—until God promises a new covenant, swearing to replace His people's hearts of stone with hearts of flesh. In this verse-by-verse study, we navigate Ezekiel’s prophecies, from the valley of dry bones to the vision of the future temple, seeing how they ultimately point to the restorative work of Jesus Christ. This exposition provides rigorous, biblical depth while remaining accessible for daily Christian living. Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt Dr. Toby Holt is the President of New Geneva Theological Seminary.
