For modern audiences like us, these concluding chapters may feel more drudgery than delight, but for the original audience, these chapters would have been the most exciting. Ezekiel once brought a message of condemnation and despair, but now that those prophecies have come true and Israel has spent 25 years in exile, Ezekiel brings a message of hope and restoration. Part of this revelation is other-worldly, as Ezekiel sees a river coming from under the temple, recalling the garden of Eden and pointing forward to the river seen in the book of Revelation.
