Explained for Children

Imagine if your parents told you to pack your toys and books and move to a new house, but you didn’t know why. Ezekiel is like a big kid who God is asking to act this out to show the people around him that something big and sad is going to happen to their city.

Historical Background

Ezekiel was a prophet who wrote this during the Babylonian exile around 593 BCE. He was addressing the people of Jerusalem, warning them about their impending captivity. The Babylonians had already conquered much of the area, and Ezekiel’s message was a call to repentance and a warning of judgment.
