Read
"The Faith of Israel" by William Dumbrell Chapter 12 and answer the
question.Question: Evaluate what Dumbrell says about the
structure and outline of the book of Ezekiel.
The
structure of the book of Ezekiel is not complex. Chapters 1-24 focus on
prophecies regarding the deconstruction of Jerusalem. From chapters 25-32, the
prophecies are against the neighboring nations, while from chapters 33-48, the
prophecies focus on restoring Jerusalem's hope, salvation, and restoration.
However, Ezekiel has never prophesied outside Babylon. Therefore, the ministry
of Ezekiel started before Jerusalem's fall and continued for a short period
after restoration.
