Ezekiel is not only the prophet of the glory of YHWH but also of the Spirit of YHWH. What is the relationship between these two con-cepts? I restrict myself in this article to the last part of Ezekiel (33-48). In this final part of the book, we see how the Spirit of YHWH, who transforms and revives Israel, paves the way for the return of the glory of YHWH portrayed in the last vision. In the final vision, we read of a stream of water flowing from the temple. The water starts from the place where the of YHWH is present. Tins water must be related to the Spirit of YHWH. Not only the people but also the land is transformed. The message of the transformation of a com-munity by the Spirit of YHWH is followed by the final vision where the glory of YHWH is evidently present in the sanctuary and even the land itself is transformed by the Spirit of YHWH; this is the climax of the message of Ezekiel. Hie presence of the of YHWH in the hearts and lives of the people of Israel is closely related to the presence of the of YHWH in the sanctuary. All is summarized in the name of the city: YHWH is there.

While the book of Ezekiel contains little reflex to the exodus traditions, on closer look it becomes clear that Ezekiel knew some of these traditions. Nowhere is this more apparent than in ch. 20, which culminates in God's declaration that he had given Israel 'no good laws' in order to lead them further into sin. This text functions in the book in two ways. First, as a reaction to the fall of Jerusalem, it preserves the power of God, even at the expense of God's justice. Secondly, it prepares the reader for the new laws revealed to Ezekiel in chs. 40-48.
We tend to believe that teleological views of historical change characterize the vision of people whose thinking was done within the intellectual framework of 'biblical culture'. But some biblical reflection on the nature and significance of recurrences in Israel's history suggests that it is precisely the dominant aimlessness in the recurrences in the nation's history that is significant, not some inapparent future goal. Historical recurrence teaches the lessons not of the past but of repeated experience. The experience of anti-providential historical progressions opens, for those able to see it, to an appreciation of existential situation, particularly vis-à-vis the transcendent Yahweh. Ezekiel's historical retrospect (Ezek. 20) takes up this business, tracing it through not just the exodus but all of Israel's history, from exodus to the exile. It is what Y. Kaufmann called a vision for all time.
