Is Ezekiel a historical book

Answer 1

In The Bible, the Book of Ezekiel is not classified as a history book, but as one of the major prophets.

The Book of Ezekiel displays a knowledge of Israelite history, and the chronological order of the visions Ezekiel describes is rational, but it is unlikely that he really did experience visions as of God. At times, Ezekiel appears to blur the distinction between Israel (the northern kingdom) and Judah, whereas his slightly older contemporary Jeremiah stringently observed the distinctions between the separate nations of Israel and Judah, especially in the early chapters which otherwise bear comparison with aspects of Ezekiel's historical allegories. The book is didactic and demonstrates an awareness of self-interest. Also, too many of Ezekiel's prophecies were never fulfilled, or only partially so, for them to have been of divine origin. Several times, Ezekiel 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.
