Ezekiel has a style and method of preaching all his own. He uses symbols, as the mimic siege of Jerusalem (Ezekiel 4), visions (Ezekiel 8), parables (Ezekiel 17), poems (Ezekiel 19), proverbs (Ezekiel 12:22,23; 18:2) and prophecies (Ezekiel 6: 20; 40-48). Ezekiel is an artist. He paints strange pictures for us. They are mystifying and full of terror and sometimes hard to be deciphered. They glow with life and action. He talks of sin and punishment, of repentance and blessing.
