The world was a frightening place - turmoil in international affairs, particularly in the Middle East; armies of refugees; fear and violence a common experience on the streets; corruption within the establishment and a self-satisfied church that echoed the world's latest humanistic theories. This was the land of Judah at the time of Ezekiel, but is it not also a description of the present day? Denis Lane shows that the message Ezekiel proclaimed is the message we need to hear today. God has not abdicated his throne. He is still the ruler of all creation. God broke into the threatening cloud that surrounded Ezekiel, bringing a renewed vision and a clear message of hope and power - a message that could not be more relevant to our own age.
