OUR FATHER WHO CLARIFIES THROUGH HIS PROPHETS

Ezekiel chapter 12 verse 10 says this;

 “Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: This prophecy concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the Israelites who are there.’ 

The prophet Ezekiel had been commanded by the Lord to enact a scene that represented the coming judgement on Jerusalem that would send them all into exile.

Before all the people of the city, he was to pack his belongings, dig through the city wall and then at dusk, he was to crawl through the wall and leave the city carrying his pack on his shoulder.

Ezekiel carried out these instructions in the sight of all the people of the city.

Our passage in Ezekiel  chapter 12 joins the narrative after the people did not inquire into what Ezekiel was doing. They did not think that the actions of the prophet concerned them.

In our verse, the Lord directs the prophet Ezekiel to plainly explain to the leaders and the people in Jerusalem that the enactment was referring  to the judgement that was going to afflict them because of their violent deeds.

And further to that, the judgement was not going to tarry but would come upon them shortly.

Amen.
