His message was that people believe in God and trust in him and to receive Gods message. Ezekiel prophesied in the time of exile in Babylon. For people at that time it was hard for them. The hardest thing that they couldn’t do at the time is the people couldn’t worship the temple. For my modern day prophet I chose Malala

“. . . [Jephthah] did with her according to his vow that he had made” (Judges 11:39b)1. The tragedy and confusion of the account of Jephthah lie not only in the fact that Jephthah fulfilled his unfaithful vow, but the fulfillment of that vow resulted in the killing of an innocent life, his daughter.
