Stromata
Hebrew prophet wrongly identified by some with Zaratus the Assyrian.
Alexander, in his work On Pythagorean Symbols, relates that Pythagoras was a pupil of Zaratus the Assyrian (whom some think to be Ezekiel, though he is not, as will afterward be shown), and would have it that Pythagoras besides heard the Galatians and the Brahmans.
and in the fifth year of his reign Ezekiel prophesies in Babylon, after whom Naum the prophet, then Daniel;
And with the Law, Moses and Aaron, after whom prophesy Joshua the son of Nun, Samuel, Gad, Nathan, Achias, Samaias, Iu, Elijah, Michaias, Abdiu, Elisha, Abdadonai, Amos, Isaiah, Hosea, Jonah, Joel, Jeremiah, Sophonias, Buzi, Ezekiel, Urias, Ambacum, Naum, Daniel, Misael (the author of the syllogisms), Aggaeus, Zacharias, and the Messenger among the Twelve.
Adversus Marcionem
The prophet whose lament over the prince of Tyre is read as an allegory of the devil's fall.
For under the person of the prince of Tyre it is pronounced against the devil:
" Premising this, then, and subjoining accordingly that Christ too suffered, he prophesied that his just ones equally would suffer the same — both the apostles and thereafter all the faithful — marked, namely, with that sign concerning which Ezekiel:
and, pronouncing our citizenship — that is, our municipality — to be in the heavens, he assigns it surely to some heavenly city.
The Rights of War and Peace
Biblical prophet through whom a divine statement on relapse into wickedness is reported.
For in such cases, God himself has declared by the mouth of his prophet Ezekiel, that he has no regard to the former life.
Indeed those threats of divine vengeance are not always enforced;
Letters
Old Testament prophet cited on the reversibility of righteousness and sin.
These things one may hear Ezekiel also laying down, as in the person of the Lord.
Adversus Judaeos
Prophet who receives the vision of judgment on Jerusalem.
And so, since the prophecy was fulfilled by his coming — that is, by the birth which we recalled above, and by the passion which we have plainly declared — therefore Daniel too said that the vision and the prophet were sealed, since Christ is the seal of all the prophets, fulfilling all the things that had been announced of him before;
Adversus Praxean
Prophet listed among those who saw God without dying.
For the patriarchs are reported to have seen God, as Abraham and Jacob, and the prophets, as Isaiah, as Ezekiel, and yet they did not die.
De Carnis Resurrectione
Prophet who receives and reports the vision of the dry bones being reclothed and revived.
Take Ezekiel.
No raising up, I suppose, if this be not the very thing that is revealed to Ezekiel.
Plainly, if the people too were murmuring allegorically about their dried-up bones and their lost hope, querulous at the issue of the dispersion, God would rightly seem to have consoled a figured despair with a figured promise.
De Fuga in Persecutione
Prophet cited as inveighing against shepherds who abandon and exploit their flock.
" Against whom both Ezekiel and Jeremiah inveigh with the same threats, because they not only feed unworthily on the flock, feeding rather themselves, but also scatter the flock and make it to be a prey to all the beasts of the field, while there is no shepherd for them.
De Pudicitia
Prophet quoted rebuking negligent shepherds.
In short, if you remember the prophets, when the shepherds are rebuked, it is, I think, the voice of Ezekiel:
