Under the type of Ezekiel’s removing of his household stuff is showed the captivity of Zedekiah and his people, Eze_12:1-16. Under another type of his eating and drinking with trembling and anxiety is signified the consternation of the people and desolation of the land, Eze_12:17-20. The prophet reproveth the presumptuous proverb of the Jews, Eze_12:21-25. He repeateth the reproof, Eze_12:26-28.
A Divine prediction of what was both sure and near to come to pass.
Came unto me, in the sixth and seventh years of Jeconiah’s captivity, and of Zedekiah’s reign; in the latter end of the three hundred and eighty-seven of Ezekiel’s lying on his side, three years before the fatal siege began.
