Ezekiel 13:1-16; Who am I?

Having completed our “Introduction to the Prophets” we are now planning on posting a variety of what I like to call “odds and ends.” These will come from the OT prophetical books.  We have already posted verse-by-verse studies of all the prophetic books.  So the first thing will be to let you know where you can find these for the “Major Prophets.”
