| Sumario: | This article will focus on Ezekiel 17 to show the metamorphosis in Israel's leadership and statehood evident in Ezekiel's prophecy. In the first part I will discuss Judah's vassal status in the preexilic period as presented in the parable and its interpretation (17:1-21). Next I will examine the messianic figure presented in the prophecy's conclusion (17:22-24) and discuss Ezekiel's depictions of Israel's future leadership and statehood. Both parts will show how the comparative study of ancient Near Eastern writings and iconography, especially the Neo-Babylonian imperial propaganda, may lead to a better understanding of Ezekiel's message. Ezekiel, I will claim, depicts restored Israel as a Babylonia-like empire and its future leader as a great Neo-Babylonian king. |
