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 "Human, look toward the south. Prophesy against the south and against the forest of the southern area.

47 Say to that forest: 'Hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord God says: I am ready to start a fire in you that will destroy all your green trees and all your dry trees. The flames that burn will not be put out. Every face from south to north will feel their heat.

48 Then all the people will see that I, the Lord, have started the fire. It will not be put out.'"

49 Then I said, "Ah, Lord God! The people are saying about me, 'He is only telling stories.'"
