Description
by Duane S. Crowther
After presenting extensive background and historical data, How to Understand the Book of Ezekiel analyzes each chapter of Ezekiel in one of four main sections: (1) his call to the ministry and introductory visions, (2) his prophecies against Judah and Jerusalem, (3) his prophecies against surrounding nations, and (4) his prophecies of the last days. Each chapter is outlined, with numerous historical and interpretational notations provided. To understand the Book of Ezekiel, you must know ancient history, LDS doctrines, and have an in-depth knowledge of last-days events and chronology. This book provides those essential insights with clarity and economy of words. Ezekiel is the most important scriptural source for many key last-days doctrines. These include the restoration of the House of Israel, with the ten tribes and Judah reunited in their promised land; the rule of David the Prince; the Battle of Armageddon; the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple and the reinstitution of temple ordinances there; and the expanded borders of the land of Israel in the last days. No other book is as effective a study guide for Latter-day Saint readers on Ezekiel’s great prophetic contribution as How to Understand the Book of Ezekiel.
