Excerpt from Biblical Commentary on the Prophecies of Ezekiel, Vol. 1
Ezekiel, like Daniel, is a prophet of the exile, but in a difierent fashion from the latter, who had been already carried away prisoner before him to Babylon on the first capture of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar in the reign of J ehoiakim, and who lived there upwards of seventy years at the Babylonian and medo-persian court, and who held from time to time very important offices of State. Daniel was placed by God in this high. Position, which afforded him a view of the formation and evolution of the world-kingdom, in order that from this stand point he might be enabled to see the development of the world kingdoms in the struggle against the kingdom of God, and to predict the indestructible power and glory of the latter king dom, which overcomes all the powers of the world. Ezekiel, on the other hand, was appointed a watcher,over the exiled nation of Israel, and was in this capacity to continue the work of the earlier prophets, especially that of Jeremiah, with whom he in several ways associates himself in his prophecies; to preach to his contemporaries the judgment and salvation of God, in order to convert them to the Lord their God. - Rightly to understand his work as a prophet, the ripe fruit of which lies before us in his prophetic writings, we must not only keep in view the importance of the exile for the development of the kingdom of God, but also form a clear conception of the rela tions amidst which Ezekiel carried on his labours.
