The present interest in prophetical studies, due to a world-situation so unprecedented as to have no historic parallels upon which a shallow optimism may build futile hopes, is in every way to be welcomed and encouraged. It surely is a divine provision for such a day as this that for the last fifty years the prophetic word has been under the sane and patient study of so many men of devout and trained minds. Amongst these the author of this book has won a foremost place. At the farthest possible remove from fanciful and radical methods of interpretation, the conclusions which he has reached and which are set forth in this book are trustworthy. The reader may be assured that he will reach truly Biblical views of those things which are coming to pass with startling rapidity.

"I know of no expounder of Holy Scripture on this side of the Atlantic in the same class as Mr. Gaebelein. His work on the Old Testament prophets especially is unique. To understand and expound them not for scholars but for the people, calls for a combination of gifts bestowed upon very few. "Such a teacher must believe in the inerrancy of the autographs of Scripture. He must interpret it literally except where it clearly indicates to the contrary. He must apprehend the dispensational scope of its teaching. He must know and rely upon the Holy Spirit as the revealer of the truth whose record He has inspired. He must have a working knowledge of the Hebrew text and be able to pass intelligently on questions of Biblical Criticism. He must be familiar with the writings of others who have preceded him. He must be a platform man in constant communication with the people whom he would instruct. He must be no dreamer, but wide-awake to current events and capable of looking upon and dealing with them in a practical way. He must use simple terms and express himself in plain speech. "Mr. Gaebelein meets all these demands, for which we who reap the benefits give God the praise. Pastors, evangelists, Bible teachers and Christians generally who would be counted among the wise who understand, need such helps as this as an antidote to the false teaching flooding the church today, and to enable them to stand up against the wiles of Satan on every hand. Familiarity with the revelation of God in the Old Testament is simply indispensable to the Christian witness in this twentieth century, and to the soldiers of Christ in this crucial hour of spiritual combat." -JAMES M. GRAY, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Ill. "A careful reading of the Book of Ezekiel shows, in the first place, that the Prophet received messages and saw visions before the final destruction of Jerusalem, and after that catastrophe had taken place in fulfillment of his inspired predictions he received other prophecies. The predictions preceding the fall of Jerusalem are the predictions of the judgment to fall upon the city and upon Gentile nations, the enemies of Israel. The predictions Ezekiel received after the city had been destroyed are the predictions of blessing and glory for Israel and Jerusalem in the future. The first part of the book has found a fulfillment in the destruction of the city by Nebuchadnezzar. The second part is awaiting its fulfillment at the close of the times of the Gentiles, when Israel will be regathered, restored and the glory of the Lord returns to another temple, which Ezekiel beheld in a magnificent vision. All will be accomplished when the Lord returns to dwell in the midst of His people, so that the name of the city will be "Jehovah-Shammah"--"the Lord is there" (chapter xlviii:35). These two main divisions are clearly marked in the book itself. In chapter xxxiii:21, after the Prophet had received a renewed call as watchman. We read: "And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten." -Arno C. Gaebelein

Arno C. Gaebelein's commentary on the Biblical prophet Ezekiel remains an authoritative and useful analysis of a pivotal figure in the Old Testament. The author accounts for Ezekiel's life in terms of the prophesies he made. Between the prophetic words of the subject, Gaebelein makes but one division: the destruction of Jerusalem. Throughout his accounts, Gaebelein offers the reader an in-depth discussion of the prophesies made by Ezekiel, particularly those concerning the emergence of a formal Jewish nation. It is uncommon in the modern day for the Book of Ezekiel to receive much reading or quotation by church pastors or preachers. There is thus a refreshing air of redress to Gaebelein's commentary, as it brings aspects of the Biblical lore uncommonly studied by believers to the fore. Gaebelein's close reading of the text brings certain insights of Ezekiel's story to light - subtleties which could easy pass even the experienced Bible reader by. Although a theologian, the author is keen to express his analyses in accessible language. Treading a line between the devotional and the academic, Gaebelein is keen to appeal to a range of readers - formal students in the university and the seminary, as well as the general Christian audience, will find satisfaction in this book. A Methodist minister in the 19th century, Arno C. Gaebelein was one of the most prominent figures of his denomination during the early 20th century. Forging links between Christians and Jews, the author successfully encouraged a strengthening of relations between the creeds. He did however disagree with Zionism, believing it to be an incorrect representation of Israel's restoration.
