This paper will attempt to compare specific biblical passages from the book of Ezekiel with specific passages from the book of Revelation. These passages are comparable in their similar use of language, visions, and symbolism. The book of Ezekiel was written by the prophet Ezekiel who was a priest. The New American Standard Study Bible suggests that this book was written approximately between 597 and 586 BC. It is generally divided into three sections after the introduction. The first section, chapters 4-24, discusses the judgment on the nation of Judah. The second section, chapters 25-32, expresses judgment on the surrounding nations. The third section, chapters 33–48, includes the future blessing of God's Covenant People. Visions and symbolism are often used throughout the book. (Barnes Notes, 1997) The book of Revelation has traditionally been attributed to the apostle John and consists of 22 chapters (New American Standard Bible, 1997). According to the New American Standard Bible the book was written between 81 and 96 AD It is considered apocalyptic literature as it talks about numerous visions using the power of symbolism. It generally describes the end of the present age of man, great struggles and catastrophic events, angels and demons, and the eventual coming of the Kingdom of God. It describes through symbolism the New Heaven and the New Earth. It concludes with a description of what will happen in eternity and how God will be glorified. (New American Standard Bible, 1997)ComparisonsBoth men in exileNow it came to pass in the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was by the river Chebar among the exiles. . . (Ezekiel 1:1) As we examine Ezekiel 1:1, we note that... in the center of the paper......arnes, scholarly debate over the concept of whether God will be accompanied by angels or humans. The forehead was most likely chosen for the branding because it was highly visible and would be easily seen when destruction came to the earth. In both books, divine people have markings on their foreheads. Furthermore, in both passages the mark is placed by someone other than God. In both scriptures the mark will be given to the faithful people (BibleSoft, 2002). Summary In the presentation above we saw similar common elements in language such as exiles and prisoners, wrath and judgment, scroll and book, and forehead markings. In the visions we noticed that God appeared and spoke to both Ezekiel and John. Both were given a book or scroll by God. Symbolism was witnessed in the use of a forehead mark and a double-sided scroll or book that conveyed God's thoughts.
