Ezequiel 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 3:4

And he said unto me, son of man, go
After he had eaten the roll; for then was he qualified to prophesy: get thee unto the house of Israel;
to whom he was to prophesy: and speak with my words unto them:
not with his own words; nor with the words of men, the enticing words of man's wisdom; but with the words of Christ; with the taught words of the Holy Ghost; with what is written in the roll; the words of this prophecy are meant. So the Targum,

``and thou shalt prophesy the words of my prophecy unto them;''

in like manner John after he had eaten the little book, is told that he must prophesy before many people, nations, tongues, and kings, ( Revelation 10:9-11 ) ; though Ezekiel was only sent to one nation, as follows:

Ezequiel 3:4 In-Context

2 Então abri a minha boca, e ele me deu a comer o rolo.

3 E disse-me: Filho do homem, dá de comer ao teu ventre, e enche as tuas entranhas deste rolo que eu te dou. Então o comi, e era na minha boca doce como o mel.

4 Disse-me ainda: Filho do homem, vai, entra na casa de Israel, e dize-lhe as minhas palavras.

5 Pois tu não és enviado a um povo de estranha fala, nem de língua difícil, mas � casa de Israel;

6 nem a muitos povos de estranha fala, e de língua difícil, cujas palavras não possas entender; se eu aos tais te enviara, certamente te dariam ouvidos.
