48 All humanity will see that I, ADONAI, lit it; it will not be put out."'"

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 being, turn your face southward, preach to the south and prophesy to the scrublands of the Negev;

47 say to the Negev forest: 'Hear the word of ADONAI. Adonai ELOHIM says, "I will light a fire in you; it will devour every tree in you, green and dry alike; a blazing, unquenchable flame that will scorch every face from the Negev to the north.

48 All humanity will see that I, ADONAI, lit it; it will not be put out."'"

49 I said, "Oh, Adonai ELOHIM! They complain that I speak only in parables."
