In the context of Ezekiel, it points to the day when Jerusalem falls, fulfilling the prophecies of judgment against the city.

The opening of his mouth signifies the end of this period of silence, marking a new phase in his prophetic ministry. It underscores the idea that God controls the prophetic voice.to him who has escaped This refers to a survivor from the destruction of Jerusalem who would bring news of the city's fall. The escapee serves as a witness to the fulfillment of God's judgment, highlighting the reality of the prophecies given through Ezekiel.you will speak and no longer be mute Ezekiel's ability to speak again symbolizes the completion of a prophetic cycle. His silence had been a sign of impending judgment, and his restored speech indicates a shift towards a message of hope and restoration. This transition is crucial in understanding the role of prophets as both warners and comforters.So you will be a sign to them Ezekiel himself becomes a living sign to the people, embodying the message of God. This concept of a prophet as a sign is seen throughout scripture, where the lives and actions of prophets serve as tangible demonstrations of divine truth (e.g., Hosea's marriage in <a href="/hosea/1.htm">Hosea 1-3</a>).and they will know that I am the LORD. This phrase is a recurring theme in Ezekiel, emphasizing the ultimate purpose of God's actions: to reveal His identity and sovereignty to His people.

He had abundantly foretold the result, and now awaited the issue in silence. He has, however, recorded a considerable number of prophecies against foreign nations (Ezekiel 25-32).Here one great division of the prophecies of Ezekiel closes. They have been hitherto occupied almost exclusively with reproofs for sin and with warnings of impending judgment upon his people. The following prophecies, as far as Ezekiel 32, are indeed of the same character, but are directed entirely against foreign nations. This collection, as noticed in the Introduction, ? 4, is not arranged chronologically like the rest of the book, but on the plan of putting together the prophecies against each nation. <a href="/context/ezekiel/29-17.htm" title="And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,">Ezekiel 29:17-21</a> is dated more than sixteen years after the fall of Jerusalem, and Ezekiel 32 about two months after the tidings of that event; all the others which are dated are before, but only a little before, the capture of Jerusalem. Most of those undated seem to be in their chronological place, except that the first of them (Ezekiel 25) was evidently after the fall of Jerusalem.After that great judgment was made known to the prophet, there is a marked change in his utterances, and from that time his general tone is far more cheering and consolatory. <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>On that הַה֗וּא (ha·hū) Article | Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are day בַּיּ֣וֹם (bay·yō·wm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day your mouth פִּ֙יךָ֙ (pî·ḵā) Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6310.htm">Strong's 6310: </a> The mouth, edge, portion, side, according to will be opened יִפָּ֤תַח (yip·pā·ṯaḥ) Verb - Nifal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6605.htm">Strong's 6605: </a> To open wide, to loosen, begin, plough, carve to him who has escaped; הַפָּלִ֔יט (hap·pā·lîṭ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6412.htm">Strong's 6412: </a> Escaped one, fugitive you will speak וּתְדַבֵּ֕ר (ū·ṯə·ḏab·bêr) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive imperfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> To arrange, to speak, to subdue and no וְלֹ֥א (wə·lō) Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no longer ע֑וֹד (‘ō·wḏ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5750.htm">Strong's 5750: </a> Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more be mute. תֵֽאָלֵ֖ם (ṯê·’ā·lêm) Verb - Nifal - Imperfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_481.htm">Strong's 481: </a> To tie fast, to be tongue-tied So you will be וְהָיִ֤יתָ (wə·hā·yî·ṯā) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be a sign לְמוֹפֵ֔ת (lə·mō·w·p̄êṯ) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4159.htm">Strong's 4159: </a> A miracle, a token, omen for them, לָהֶם֙ (lā·hem) Preposition | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> and they will know וְיָדְע֖וּ (wə·yā·ḏə·‘ū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3045.htm">Strong's 3045: </a> To know that כִּֽי־ (kî-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction I אֲנִ֥י (’ă·nî) Pronoun - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_589.htm">Strong's 589: </a> I am the LORD.” יְהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Ezekiel 24:27 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Ezekiel 24:27 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Ezekiel 24:27 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Ezekiel 24:27 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Ezekiel 24:27 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Ezekiel 24:27 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Ezekiel 24:27 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Ezekiel 24:27 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Ezekiel 24:27 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/24-27.htm">Ezekiel 24:27 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/24-27.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 24:27 In that day your mouth will be (Ezek.
