A theme of Ezekiel is of coming destruction - that God's judgment of Jerusalem was not complete and would also be visited upon nations surrounding Israel. This is followed by the theme of the future restoration of Israel.

Ezekiel was a priest in the temple at Jerusalem towards the end of the monarchy in Judah, and was then deported to Babylon, where he wrote his book. The theme of the Book of Ezekiel often changes dramatically from chapter to chapter, returning in a later chapter to a previous theme. Some of the symbolism is obscure, and some of it extremely offensive to modern readers, such that much of the vocabulary, especially in chapters 16 and 23, has been toned down in English translations.

Basically, prophecy is 'dual' in that it refers to the 'near' current events and future events. Ezekiel was made a 'Watchman' for the House of Israel but it had already been captured more than 100 years earlier and nowhere does it say Ezekiel visited them in any way, shape, or forml. So Ezekiel is an 'end-time' prophecy for the House of Israel - lost but not erased from history :)
