Ezekiel’s Prophecies: Restoration of Israel The purpose of this analysis is to consider parts of the context in which the Book of Ezekiel was written in. Through this, we can come to a better understanding of the meaning of the passages by studying the authorship, time period, the setting, and the people to whom it was written. In Ezekiel 36:22-32, Ezekiel prophesies about the restoration of Israel and delivers God’s promises to the people of Israel. In this analysis, we seek to understand what

to it and meditated on it. Joshua was an example of the future Kings of Israel, one who kept the teaching of Moses in its entirety (Josh. 1:7-8, 11:15). God wanted Israel to conquer the land of Canaan and claim it for His glory. God’s promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob would be fulfilled by Joshua and the Israelites when they arrived in the promised land flowing with milk and honey (Josh. 5:6).
