The Gospel of Ezekiel.
A pivotal period in ancient history, set in the years before Babylon's dominance over the land of Judah. In 627 BC, the region was in turmoil, marked by political instability and moral decay. The text focuses on the emergence of prophetic voices, particularly that of Jeremiah, amid this tumultuous backdrop. Jeremiah, depicted as a solitary figure in Jerusalem, delivered a message of impending doom to the people of Judah if they did not repent and return to righteousness. Unlike the defiant rulers in Jerusalem, Jeremiah's countenance reflected despair rather than defiance. While contemporaries like Ezekiel shared their prophecies among the exiles, Jeremiah chose to stay in Jerusalem, delivering his urgent message to its beleaguered inhabitants. Meanwhile, King Nebuchadnezzar II of the Neo-Babylonian Empire rose to power. His rule was marked by expansion and grandeur, symbolised by the construction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar's decision to besiege Jerusalem was a calculated move to quell rebellion. King Jehoiakim of Judah's audacious defiance against Babylon provoked Nebuchadnezzar's wrath, resulting in the siege of Jerusalem, the exile of Jehoiakim, and the installation of Zedekiah as a puppet king—all part of Nebuchadnezzar's calculated strategy to assert control and consolidate Babylonian dominance. In the second wave of deportations, Ezekiel, along with his wife, found himself exiled to the Khabar Canal. The region, known as the Fertile Crescent, contrasted with their heartache, as it buzzed with agricultural activity. Despite their captive status, the Exiles couldn't help but be awed by Babylon's city splendor.

The room was filled with the soft rustling of leaves outside and the distant hoot of an owl. A melancholy air settled around her, for this was the night she had been dreading—the night when Kael, her lover from another world, would return to his realm, leaving her behind.

The rain begins to fall lightly against the pavement, as delicately as piano keys are played. Dancing upon the concrete as they hit the ground.

The rain begins to pour heavier and heavier, causing shockwaves of sound through the city streets.
