Ezekiel sees in vision the wickedness and abominations of the people of Judah in Jerusalem. He sees idolatry practiced in the temple itself. Ezekiel sees the marking of the righteous and the slaughter of all others, beginning at the Lord’s sanctuary. He sees in vision, as before, the wheels, the cherubims, and the throne and the glory of God. He sees in vision the destruction of Jerusalem and the captivity of the Jews. He prophesies the latter-day gathering of Israel. Ezekiel makes himself a symbol of the scattering of the people of Judah from Jerusalem. He then prophesies their scattering among all nations. Ezekiel reproves false prophets, both male and female, who speak lies, to whom God has not spoken.
