Imagine you have a toy city, and your friend puts a big plate in front of it. This plate is like a wall that can't be moved. God asked Ezekiel to do something similar to show that a big, scary wall was coming to the real city, and the people inside would be in trouble.

历史背景

Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this during the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BCE. He was speaking to the Israelites who were being punished for their sins, particularly idol worship. The setting was a time of political upheaval and divine judgment.
