Ezekiel, A Man Of Deep Faith And Great Imagination

The book of Ezekiel was written around 593 and 568 BC. According to the vision recorded in Chapter 1, it was during the time King Jehoiachin was taken captive to Babylon and Ezekiel was among those captives. Precisely, King Jehoiachin spent just 3 months on the throne in Jerusalem in the year 598 BC.
Adding 5 years to 598 BC according to verse 1, we will have 593 BC. So, he saw the vision right there in captivity. Since his visions were not received in a single year, so definitely the documentation cannot be in a single year. Hence, majority of Bible Scholars agreed the writing spanned through from 598 to 568 BC and of course Ezekiel was the Author.
