Which three books of prophecy were written by Jews outside the land of Israel?
The prophetic books composed by Jewish writers outside Israel are Daniel, Ezekiel, and Revelation. Daniel came from Babylon during the captivity under Nebuchadnezzar; Ezekiel came from Persia at Shushan; John wrote Revelation from the Isle of Patmos in the Aegean Sea.
Les teaches that there are three books of prophecy written by Jews but all written outside the land of Israel. The first is Daniel, written from Babylon while Daniel was captive under Nebuchadnezzar. The second is Ezekiel, written from captivity in the next empire, from Persia, from Shushan on the Tigris River. The third is Revelation, the last book of the Bible, written by John from the Isle of Patmos in the Aegean Sea, far from Palestine. Les further explains that all three are unique because they write in symbolism: Ezekiel uses dry bones, sticks, and fiery wheels, and Revelation is often avoided because it is symbolic, yet all those symbolisms are interpreted by Scripture itself.
