I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: ... they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God.
He was also given prophecies against the Ammonites (25:2), against Moab (25:8), against Edom (25:12), against the Philistines (25:15), against Tyre (26:2-3). Against Egypt (29:2) -- and against other nations, a great distance from his location in Babylon.
Ezekiel WAS IN CAPTIVITY. The word of the Eternal came to him, giving him these messages -- commissioning him to warn these specific nations!
But Ezekiel WAS NEVER RELEASED to GO to these nations!
Ezekiel, a young captive Jew, in a veritable "concentration camp" in Babylon, was given prophecies toward ISRAEL over 120 years AFTER ISRAEL HAD ALREADY GONE INTO A CAPTIVITY .
Ezekiel's prophecies are also DUAL! And the real, LITERAL fulfillment of the prophecies of Ezekiel are right ahead of us -- Now!
