Ezekiel, born into a priestly lineage in Jerusalem, had his life shattered when Babylon invaded, taking him captive. At age 30, in a slave camp, he received a vision of God's glory that sustained him. He later saw a vision of the temple corrupted by idolatry, reflecting modern society's worship of money, sex, and comfort. This highlighted the priests' corruption and the temple's impending destruction. Ezekiel's vision of a new, purified temple with healing waters symbolizes the Holy Spirit's cleansing power. Christians are called to repentance, casting down idols, and allowing God's living water to flow through them, revitalizing their lives and communities.
