Ezekiel 20:48 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:48

And all flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it
Not only the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Judea should see the hand of the Lord in their destruction; but even all the neighbouring nations, the case was so clear and plain, the matter so visible: it shall not be quenched;
no stop put to it by all the art and power of man; so that it was a clear point that it was the Lord's doing.

Ezekiel 20:48 In-Context

46 "Son of man, turn to the south, preach against the south, and prophesy against the forest in the Negev.

47 Tell the forest in the Negev, 'Listen to the word of the LORD. This is what the Almighty LORD says: I am about to set fire to you to destroy all your green trees and all your dry trees. The blazing fire will not be put out. It will burn the whole land from the south to the north.

48 Then everyone will know that I, the LORD, started the fire. It will never be put out.'"

49 Then I said, "Oh no! Almighty LORD, no! The people already say that I'm only telling stories."
