"Ezekiel was a contemporary of Jeremiah and Daniel...and was a young man when he was taken captive, and he too had probably heard Jeremiah, but had no personal acquaintance with Daniel...The message of Ezekiel is the most spiritual of all the prophets because he dealt particularly with the Person of God. Someone has said, “Ezekiel is the prophet of the Spirit, as Isaiah is the prophet of the Son, and Jeremiah the prophet of the Father.”-McGee, J. V. (1997, c1981). Thru the Bible (electronic ed.)
Ezekiel was a 'strange duck'(IMHO). Some of the object lessons God directed were unique to say the least. Probably part of the confusion is the book as many prophetic books in the OT switches from prior to future with little segue because the 'church age'(new covenant)is largely omitted for OT prophecy deal specifically and nearly exclusively with the Israel. Therefore, it's almost dangerous to make direct comparison except in the most personal sense.
One of the best studies of Ezekiel(and the Major/Minor prophets in general)is JV McGee's Thru the Bible series.
