Is prophet Ezekiel successful in his mission?

Answer 1

With the Deuteronomistic reforms of Josiah, king of Judah from 641 to 609 BCE, the monotheists were in the ascendency and must have believed that the other gods in the Hebrew pantheon were gone forever. Ezekiel, who would have grown up during the reign of Josiah to become a priest of Yahweh, must have thought it his birthright to be at the forefront of Judahite religion. The untimely death of Josiah ended this, with the partial restoration of polytheism under Josiah's successors. Every misfortune that befell Jerusalem, Ezekiel blames on the affront caused to Yahweh (his God) by the open worship of other gods. As one of the exiles deported by Nebuchadnezzar in 597, Ezekiel became a prophet in Babylon - the first prophet to prophesy outside the Holy Land.

Ezekiel several times prophesied the imminent return of all the Israelites scattered by the Assyrian conquest in 722 BCE, but this never happened and, after intermarriage and assimilation, can never happen. Too many of Ezekiel's prophecies were never fulfilled, or only partially so, for them to have been of divine origin, but his emphasis was on the return of both Israelites and Jews, who would be reunited under Jewish leadership.
