Ezekiel 24:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 24:21

19 And the people said to me, ^a“Will you not tell us what these things signify to us, that you behave so?”

20 Then I answered them, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

21 ‘Speak to the house of Israel, “Thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, ^aI will profane My sanctuary, your arrogant boast, the desire of your eyes, the² delight of your soul; ^band your sons and daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword.

22 And you shall do as I have done; ^ayou shall not cover your lips nor eat man’s bread of sorrow.

23 Your turbans shall be on your heads and your sandals on your feet; ^ayou shall neither mourn nor weep, but ^byou shall pine away in your iniquities and mourn with one another.

24 Thus ^aEzekiel is a sign to you; according to all that he has done you shall do; ^band when this comes, ^cyou shall know that I am the Lord God.’ ”

25 ‘And you, son of man—will it not be in the day when I take from them ^atheir stronghold, their joy and their glory, the desire of their eyes, and¹ that on which they set their minds, their sons and their daughters:

26 that on that day ^aone who escapes will come to you to let you hear it with your ears?
