Overview

Excerpt from The Prophet Ezekiel: An Analytical Exposition Ezekiel was not a youth, as generally supposed, when he was deported to Babylon, for the matured character of a priest which appears in his writings and his full and intimate acquaintance with the temple service, render such a sup position highly improbable. Jewish tradition declares that he exercised already the prophetic office before he was carried away. The much disputed phrase in the thirtieth year (chapter izl) we hope to examine more closely in our expo smon. The name Ezekiel means strengthened by God. It has been stated by some that this is not the original name of the prophet, but his official title, which he adopted on account of his ministry among the people. Very interesting on this controverted point is the statement of a rabbinical com ment. The declaration is made that the prophets of God received their significant names, so closely linked with and expressive of the character of their messages, from above and not according to the will Of their earthly parents. God called them to their work and had them named accordingly before they ever entered upon their Offices as prophets. We believe this may be correct, especially in View of Jeremiah iz5.
