ABSTRACT
This paper investigates both the functions of holiness in the messages of Ezekiel and the relationships between the holiness and the messages. For this I will analyze the contents, structures, and expressions of each paragraph including holiness in Ezekiel 1-24, 25-32, 33-39, and 40-48.
The conception of holiness functions as a main element for the composition of Ezekiel. Ezekiel 1-24 deals with judgment of Judah and Jerusalem. Here the conception of holiness serves as a reason for Yahweh's judgment. The guidelines (decrees; laws; Sabbaths) for their holy life, Yahweh's identity, and their rebellious life are composed on the basis of the conception of holiness, so they provides the reason and legitimacy of Yahweh's judgment. Ezekiel 25-32 deals with judgment of the seven nations. Here the conception of holiness emphasizes Yahweh's power which can judge the nations around Israel. Ezekiel 33-39 deals with salvation of Judah and Jerusalem. Here the conception of holiness serves as a reason for Yahweh's salvation. The conception appears in three forms. 'My holy name' appears in the messages related to the people of Israel and it means Yahweh's identity and power (Ezekiel 36:20, 21-23a; 39:7a, 25), 'to prove my holiness' appears in the messages related to other nations and it means Yahweh's power (Ezekiel 36:23b; 38:16, 23; 39:27), and 'the Lord making Israel holy' and 'Holy One in Israel' appear in the messages related to other nations and they mean Yahweh's special personality (Ezekiel 37:28; 39:7b). Ezekiel 40-48 deal with the restoration of both the Jerusalem temple and Israel in the vision. Here the conception of holiness serves as an important subject of objects for his restoration. In particular, the description on both the wall of the temple and a special area is related to keep holiness of the temple, and the guidelines given to the people who serve and worship in the temple are related to keep holiness.
Therefore, the conception of holiness serves as a main element for a composition of the massages of Ezekiel, a basis for Yahweh's actions, and the purpose of Ezekiel which a recognition formula emphasizes. This helps to understand the importance of holiness in the messages of Ezekiel.
