THE END OF THE MONARCHY

EZEKIEL 12:1–15, 17, 19

The Expositor’s Bible, Volume 4: Jeremiah to Mark Chapter VII: The End of the Monarchy (Ezekiel 12:1–15, 17, 19)

IN spite of the interest excited by Ezekiel’s prophetic appearances, the exiles still received his prediction of the fall of Jerusalem with the most stolid incredulity. It proved to be an impossible task to disabuse their minds of the prepossessions which made such an event absolutely incredible. True to their character as a disobedient house, they had “eyes to see, and saw not; and ears to hear, but heard not” (12:2). They were intensely interested in the strange signs he performed, and listened with pleasure to his fervid oratory; but the inner meaning of it all never sank into their minds.

Ezekiel's trembling shews the Jews' desolation.

Eze 12:21-25.

The Jews' presumptuous proverb is reproved.

Eze 12:26-28.

The speediness of the vision.
