Ezekiel sees in vision four living creatures, four wheels, and the glory of God on his throne. Ezekiel is called to take the word of the Lord to Israel. He sees a book in which lamentations and mourning are written. Ezekiel is made a watchman unto the house of Israel. The blood of Israel is required at his hand unless he raises the warning voice. Ezekiel symbolically illustrates the siege and famine that will befall Jerusalem. The judgment of Jerusalem will include famine, pestilence, war, and the scattering of her inhabitants. The people of Israel will be destroyed for their idolatry. A remnant only will be saved and scattered. Desolation, war, pestilence, and destruction will sweep the land of Israel. The desolation of the people is foreseen.
