Ezequiel 12:27 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 12:27

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.

Ezequiel 12:27 In-Context

25 ¡Pues yo soy el Señor
! Si yo lo digo, sucederá. Ya no habrá más demora para ustedes, rebeldes de Israel. Cumpliré mi amenaza de destrucción durante los años de su vida. ¡Yo, el Señor
Soberano, he hablado!».

26 Luego recibí este mensaje del Señor
:

27 «Hijo de hombre, los israelitas andan diciendo: “Él habla de un futuro lejano. Sus visiones no se cumplirán por muchísimo tiempo”.

28 Por lo tanto, diles: “Esto dice el Señor
Soberano: ‘¡Se acabó la demora! Ya mismo cumpliré todas mis amenazas. ¡Yo, el Señor
Soberano, he hablado!’”».
