Ezekiel 12:25

25 For I am Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

Ezekiel 12:25 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:25

For I [am] the Lord: I will speak
A sovereign Being, immutable and eternal; who will speak by his prophets what is his mind and will shall be done: and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass;
the word of prophecy delivered out in his nature by the true prophets never fails, but is always accomplished; as that was which respected the siege or Jerusalem, and captivity of the Jews: it shall be no more prolonged:
the judgment threatened shall be inflicted, and that in a very short time: for in your days, O rebellious house;
while they were living; which they hoped would never be, at least not till after their death; whereas, within live or six years after this, all came to pass: will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God of hosts;
not only the prophecy of their ruin should be given out in their days, but accomplished in that time; which they might depend upon, since he who said it is the mighty God, the Lord of armies in heaven and in earth.

Ezekiel 12:25 In-Context

23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the fulfilment of every vision.

24 For there shall be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.

25 For I am Jehovah; I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed; it shall be no more deferred: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I speak the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord Jehovah.

26 Again the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

27 Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many day to come, and he prophesieth of times that are far off.
