GOVERNING THEMES

The load-bearing ideas.

Use these themes to trace repetition inside the book before following them across the canon.

THE BIBLE AS A CONNECTED LIBRARY

Ezekiel does not stand alone.

01

Ezekiel's glory visions converse with Exodus' tabernacle presence and Revelation's throne imagery.

02

New-heart and Spirit promises stand near Jeremiah's new covenant and shape New Testament renewal language.

03

The final temple vision should be presented with interpretive options clearly labeled rather than collapsed into one system.

STUDY QUESTIONS

Return to the text.

  1. Why does glory appear in exile before leaving the temple?
  2. How do personal responsibility and communal history interact?
  3. What kind of restoration is pictured through shepherd, breath, river, and city?
