Close to the time the prophecies began to find full expression, then they handed the baton to Jeremiah, Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk and finally right there in captivity, Ezekiel, Daniel and others took over the prophetic mantle.
Each of them had his season, location and timing. They were not competing with one another as we see today. Their focus was on the message.
You will be shocked to discover that while Daniel was sent to the Palace to fulfil God’s assignment, Ezekiel did not have the Palace opportunity, his own ministry was also in the exile but within the country side area. The Bible says he was living with the Jewish exiles by the River Chebar right there in Babylon.
Jeremiah himself did not go to Babylon. Rather, he stayed right there in Judah to continue preaching to the remnants. You can see how strategic God can be and none of these people argued with God or felt jealous of one another.
This is a big lesson to all the ministers of God in our dispensation. Not every Prophet or Pastor will preach abroad or in the city. There are some that would be sent to the villages, some to towns, some to cities and some to developed countries.

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.
The same way Jeremiah was weeping and praying for his people to be saved is the same way Jesus Christ was sorrowful and praying concerning His mission to save humanity.
The Bible says He was sorrowful and praying to the point that the drops of His sweat were like blood. Please read Luke 22:44

Meanwhile, before this assassination, Gedaliah was previously warned about the evil plot, but he waved it as not important or not true. He believed he had known Ishmael for a long time in the palace not knowing that when power intoxicates, even relatives can betray each other. Unfortunately for Gedaliah, he did not see this red light. He did not even bother to pray about it by seeking the help of Prophet Jeremiah who has been handed over to him to take care of.
