Ezekiel 5:1-7:27; Ezekiel 8:1-9:11

A recurring theme throughout these chapters of the Bible's book of Ezekiel is, "Then they will know that I am the Lord." The disaster that Ezekiel foretells and the trouble that he sees in his visions serve a divine purpose, that is, to impart deep, deep knowledge of God, of God's presence, and of God's power.
