Ezekiel

Ezekiel was a Hebrew prophet who ministered during the Babylonian exile (c. 593–570 BC). His book contains extraordinary visions—the chariot-throne (merkabah), the dry bones, and the new temple—making him foundational to Jewish mysticism and apocalyptic tradition.

His merkabah vision initiated Jewish mystical tradition; his vision of the dry bones (resurrection) is theologically foundational; the new temple vision shapes both Judaism and Christianity.
