In the context of <a href="/ezekiel/21.htm">Ezekiel 21</a>, God is pronouncing judgment on the Ammonites and other nations. Fire often symbolizes God's wrath and purification in the Bible (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/66-15.htm">Isaiah 66:15-16</a>). The imagery of being consumed by fire indicates the totality of the judgment, leaving nothing behind. This can also be seen as a foreshadowing of the final judgment described in <a href="/revelation/20-15.htm">Revelation 20:15</a>, where those not found in the Book of Life are cast into the lake of fire.<p><b>Your blood will stain your own land.</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the personal and national consequences of sin. The shedding of blood in one's own land suggests a violent end and a defilement of the land, which was considered sacred. In ancient Israel, bloodshed defiled the land and required atonement (<a href="/numbers/35-33.htm">Numbers 35:33-34</a>). The Ammonites' own actions lead to their downfall, highlighting the principle of reaping what one sows (<a href="/galatians/6-7.htm">Galatians 6:7</a>). This also reflects the historical context where nations often faced divine retribution for their sins, as seen in the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC.<p><b>You will not be remembered,</b><br>This phrase indicates the erasure of the Ammonites from history and memory. In biblical times, being remembered was associated with honor and legacy, while being forgotten was a sign of disgrace and judgment. This can be connected to <a href="/psalms/9-5.htm">Psalm 9:5-6</a>, where God rebukes nations and blots out their name forever. The Ammonites' fate serves as a warning to all nations about the consequences of opposing God's will.<p><b>for I, the LORD, have spoken.’”</b><br>This phrase underscores the authority and certainty of God's pronouncement. When God speaks, His words are final and unchangeable, as seen throughout Scripture (<a href="/isaiah/55-11.htm">Isaiah 55:11</a>). The use of "I, the LORD" emphasizes His sovereignty and the fulfillment of His prophetic word. This assurance of divine authority is a recurring theme in the Bible, affirming that God's plans and purposes will prevail, as seen in the fulfillment of prophecies concerning Jesus Christ (<a href="/luke/24-44.htm">Luke 24:44</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God who ministered to the Israelites during their Babylonian exile.
