What does Ezekiel 12:27 mean?
Son of man, behold, [they of] the house of Israel
say
Either they of the ten tribes in Babylon, or the Jews in Judea,
who were also Israelites: these the Lord directs the prophet to
take notice of, and be a witness of what they said; since he
himself, as a prophet, was concerned in it: the vision that
he seeth [is] for many days [to come], and he
prophesieth of the times [that are] afar off;
that is, according to them, the vision that Ezekiel the prophet
saw concerning their ruin; and the prophecy which he delivered
out relating to that was not to be fulfilled as yet; there were
many days and years still to come; it was at a great distance,
and so they put away this evil day far from them; they own that
he had a vision and prophecy, but it respected future times, and
distant ages; and therefore they did not trouble themselves with
it; it gave them no great concern, because they considered it as
afar off.
