Ezequiel 12:27

27 «Hijo de hombre, el pueblo de Israel anda diciendo que tus visiones son para un futuro distante, y que tus profecías son a largo plazo.

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 Porque yo, el SEÑOR, hablaré, y lo que diga se cumplirá sin retraso. Pueblo rebelde, mientras ustedes aún tengan vida, yo cumpliré mi palabra. Lo afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente”».

26 El SEÑOR me dirigió la palabra:

27 «Hijo de hombre, el pueblo de Israel anda diciendo que tus visiones son para un futuro distante, y que tus profecías son a largo plazo.

28 Por lo tanto, adviérteles que así dice el SEÑOR omnipotente: “Mis palabras se cumplirán sin retraso: yo cumpliré con lo que digo. Lo afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente”».
