Ezekiel 24:27

27 on that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you shall speak and no longer be mute. Thus you will be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.' "

Ezekiel 24:27 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 24:27

In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped,
&c.] And shall freely converse with him about the several facts and circumstances of taking and burning the city and temple, and of the usage of the inhabitants: and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb;
for from this time to the taking of Jerusalem, which was about eighteen months, the prophet had nothing to say to the people of the Jews, and so was dumb with respect to them; but was employed in prophesying against other nations, as the following chapters show, unto chapter thirty three, in which we have an account of the messenger that escaped to him; but after that his mouth was opened, and he prophesied to them again: and thou shalt be a sign unto them;
as they will then own and acknowledge: and they shall own that I am the Lord;
who have foretold these things, and accomplished them.

Ezekiel 24:27 In-Context

25 'And you, son of man--will it not be in the day when I take from them their stronghold, their joy and their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that on which they set their minds, their sons and their daughters:
26 on that day one who escapes will come to you to let you hear it with your ears;
27 on that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you shall speak and no longer be mute. Thus you will be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.' "
