• INF063 The Jewish Prophetic Tradition

    The Jewish prophetic tradition rests on the writings and teachings of the prophets, messengers of God chosen to guide the people of Israel. It is characterized by social criticism, the call for justice, the denunciation of idolatry and messages of eschatological hope. The great prophets such as Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel profoundly influenced Jewish theology, biblical literature and universal ethical values.

    Ezekiel 1.1 (King James Version) :
    Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.Notecaptives: Heb. captivityNoteEzekiel: Heb. Jehezkel
