TY - JOUR AU - Jasiński, Andrzej Sebastian PY - 2019/06/30 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Prorockie ujęcie czasu Izraela – perspektywa Księgi Ezechiela JF - Verbum Vitae JA - VV VL - 35 IS - 0 SE - Articles – Old Testament DO - 10.31743/vv.4729 UR - https://czasopisma.kul.pl/index.php/vv/article/view/4729 SP - 77-119 AB - <p>The article unfolds a specific understanding of time on the part of the prophets, drawing on the example of Ezekiel, who performed his mission among the exiles (<em>gola</em>) during the Babylonian captivity of the 6th century B.C. His task was to prepare Israel for the time of renewal, which was to be the work of Yahweh. The prophet looks at the present, past and future only from the perspective of the relationship between Yahweh and Israel. Three stages of the history of the nation emerge from his statements, and to each he devotes special attention. Following this approach of the prophet to the nation's history, the article is divided into three main sections: (1) The time of Israel's present (captivity); (2) The time of former Israel; and (3) The time of the new Israel. The revelation of Yahweh to Ezekiel, and the vocation to be his prophet and watchman, became the starting point for the message of the whole Book (Ez 1:1–3:21). It was the time of Ezekiel and of the exiles that revealed the historic truth about Israel as a nation of rebels (Ez 2:3). The future, however, will reveal the final victory of Yahweh, who will renew his people (Eze 37:1-14) and defeat all opponents (Ezek 38–39).</p> ER -
