In the context of Ezekiel, God is asserting His role as the ultimate judge and ruler. The use of "I, the LORD" is a reminder of the covenant name of God, Yahweh, which signifies His eternal presence and faithfulness. This declaration is consistent with other prophetic statements where God asserts His authority, such as in <a href="/isaiah/45-23.htm">Isaiah 45:23</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/22-29.htm">Jeremiah 22:29</a>.the time is coming, and I will act. This indicates the imminence of God's judgment. The phrase "the time is coming" suggests a prophetic fulfillment that is near, reflecting the urgency of the message. Historically, this refers to the impending destruction of Jerusalem, which occurred in 586 BC. The certainty of God's action is a theme found throughout the prophets, as seen in <a href="/amos/8-2.htm">Amos 8:2</a> and <a href="/habakkuk/2-3.htm">Habakkuk 2:3</a>, where God's timing is perfect and His actions are decisive.I will not refrain or show pity, nor will I relent. Here, God is expressing the inevitability and severity of His judgment. The lack of pity or relenting underscores the righteousness of God's justice. This is a response to the persistent sin and rebellion of the people, as detailed in <a href="/ezekiel/8.htm">Ezekiel 8-11</a>, where the abominations in the temple are described. The concept of God not relenting is also seen in <a href="/jeremiah/15-6.htm">Jeremiah 15:6</a>, highlighting the seriousness of Israel's sin.I will judge you according to your ways and deeds, This phrase emphasizes personal responsibility and accountability. The judgment is based on the actions and behaviors of the people, aligning with the principle found in <a href="/ezekiel/18-30.htm">Ezekiel 18:30</a>, where individuals are called to repent and turn from their transgressions. This reflects the biblical theme of reaping what one sows, as seen in <a href="/galatians/6-7.htm">Galatians 6:7-8</a>, and underscores the justice of God in dealing with sin.’ declares the Lord GOD.” The closing declaration reaffirms the authority and finality of God's word. The use of "Lord GOD" (Adonai Yahweh) combines the titles of master and covenant-keeping God, emphasizing both His authority and His relationship with His people. This phrase is a common conclusion in prophetic literature, serving as a divine seal on the message, as seen in similar declarations in <a href="/ezekiel/5-17.htm">Ezekiel 5:17 and 17</a>:24.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant God of Israel, who is speaking with authority and finality. 2. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> The prophet through whom God is delivering this message.
