Ezekiel 12:26

26 God's Message came to me:

Ezekiel 12:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:26

Again, the word of the Lord came to me, saying.
] This is repeated to confirm what was before spoken, and that they might assure themselves that there would be a certain and speedy accomplishment of what the Lord had said by his prophet.

Ezekiel 12:26 In-Context

24 False alarms and easygoing preaching are a thing of the past in the life of Israel.
25 I, God, am doing the speaking. What I say happens. None of what I say is on hold. What I say, I'll do - and soon, you rebels!' Decree of God the Master."
26 God's Message came to me:
27 "Son of man, do you hear what Israel is saying: that the alarm the prophet raises is for a long time off, that he's preaching about the far-off future?
28 Well, tell them, 'God, the Master, says, "Nothing of what I say is on hold. What I say happens."' Decree of God, the Master."
