Ezekiel was a priest who was taken captive to Babylon, where he prophesied. He was called upon to enact many prophecies. He was called a "man of sign" and "son of man", pointing forward to Jesus Christ.
A most exciting prophecy in chapter 37 relates to our days. It describes the revival of Israel, a modern miracle, and forecasts her coming King (verse 22). The land will again be invaded from the North (chapter 38), but God will intervene.
