Commentary on the book of Ezekiel.
Ezekiel
Ezekiel’s name means “God will strengthen,” and that is a fitting name for a prophet who was called to minister to impudent and stiffhearted people (Eze. 2:3-5). Ezekiel began his prophetic ministry at age 30 (Eze. 1:1).
Ezekiel was a priest (Eze. 1:3). It was to the priest prophet that God gave the vision of the Millennial Temple (Eze. 40-48).

Commentary Series
This series is designed in a unique format to be used as commentaries, as teaching courses, and for expository preaching. The commentaries are thorough, serious, broad, insightful, and practical, with an emphasis on application to the Christian life and ministry. Context is honored; words are defined; metaphors are explained; difficulties are tackled. The commentaries are packed with historical backgrounds and archaeological studies based on the author’s personal research, which is reflected in books such as Bible Times and Ancient Kingdoms and Jews in Fighter Jets. The interpretation is from a literal, dispensational perspective, and the King James Bible is explained but not criticized. There is no hint of modernism nor influence from compromised evangelicalism. The user will find no reference to or dependence upon men such as Origen, Jerome, Augustine, C.S. Lewis, Eberhard Nestle, or Bruce Metzger.
