Persons / Places / Events 1. EzekielA prophet of God, called to deliver messages of judgment and hope to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile. 2. The Exiles The Israelites who were taken captive to Babylon, experiencing God's judgment for their disobedience. 3. Jerusalem The city whose fall and destruction are central to Ezekiel's prophecies, symbolizing God's judgment. 4. The Day Refers to the specific time when Ezekiel's prophecy would be fulfilled, marking a significant event in God's plan. 5. The LORD The covenant name of God, emphasizing His sovereignty and faithfulness to His promises. Teaching Points God's Sovereignty in CommunicationGod controls when and how His messages are delivered. Ezekiel's muteness and subsequent ability to speak demonstrate God's authority over prophetic communication. The Role of Prophets as Signs Prophets serve as living symbols of God's messages. Ezekiel's life and actions were a sign to the Israelites, reminding us that our lives can also reflect God's truth to others. The Importance of Obedience Ezekiel's obedience in speaking only when God allowed underscores the importance of following God's timing and instructions in our own lives. Recognition of God's Authority The ultimate purpose of Ezekiel's sign was for the people to know that "I am the LORD." Our actions and words should point others to God's sovereignty and faithfulness. Hope in Restoration While Ezekiel's message was one of judgment, the opening of his mouth also signified a turning point, offering hope for future restoration and reconciliation with God.(27) Shall thy mouth be opened.--The close of the chapter (Ezekiel 24:25-27) tells the prophet that he shall be informed of the fall of Jerusalem by an escaped fugitive. After that his mouth shall again be opened to utter his prophecies to the captives. Meantime, for almost two years (comp. Ezekiel 24:1 with Ezekiel 33:21), from the investment of the city until he heard of its fall, Ezekiel gave no prophecy to the Israelites. He had abundantly foretold the result, and now awaited the issue in silence. He has, however, recorded a considerable number of prophecies against foreign nations (Ezekiel 25-32). Here one great division of the prophecies of Ezekiel closes. They have been hitherto occupied almost exclusively with reproofs for sin and with warnings of impending judgment upon his people. The following prophecies, as far as Ezekiel 32, are indeed of the same character, but are directed entirely against foreign nations. This collection, as noticed in the Introduction, ? 4, is not arranged chronologically like the rest of the book, but on the plan of putting together the prophecies against each nation. Ezekiel 29:17-21 is dated more than sixteen years after the fall of Jerusalem, and Ezekiel 32 about two months after the tidings of that event; all the others which are dated are before, but only a little before, the capture of Jerusalem. Most of those undated seem to be in their chronological place, except that the first of them (Ezekiel 25) was evidently after the fall of Jerusalem. After that great judgment was made known to the prophet, there is a marked change in his utterances, and from that time his general tone is far more cheering and consolatory.
