This phrase indicates the imminence of God's judgment. In the context of Ezekiel, it refers to the impending destruction of Jerusalem and the Babylonian exile. The prophetic announcement underscores the certainty and urgency of the divine decree. This echoes the "Day of the Lord" theme found throughout the prophets, such as in <a href="/joel/2.htm">Joel 2:1</a> and <a href="/zephaniah/1-14.htm">Zephaniah 1:14</a>, where it signifies a time of judgment and reckoning. The phrase also serves as a reminder of God's sovereign control over time and history.Let the buyer not rejoice and the seller not mourn, This statement reflects the futility of economic transactions in the face of impending disaster. In ancient Israel, buying and selling were integral to daily life and survival. However, Ezekiel's message is that normal economic activities are rendered meaningless when divine judgment is at hand. This can be compared to the New Testament teaching in <a href="/james/4-13.htm">James 4:13-14</a>, which warns against presuming upon the future. The reversal of expected emotions—buyers not rejoicing and sellers not mourning—highlights the total disruption of societal norms.for wrath is upon the whole multitude. The term "wrath" signifies God's righteous anger against sin and rebellion. In this context, it is directed towards the entire population of Judah, indicating that no one is exempt from the coming judgment. This collective punishment reflects the corporate nature of sin and accountability in the Old Testament, as seen in other instances like the judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19). The phrase underscores the comprehensive scope of God's judgment, which is not limited to individuals but extends to the entire community. This can be seen as a type of the final judgment described in <a href="/revelation/20-11.htm">Revelation 20:11-15</a>, where all humanity will be held accountable before God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel is the mouthpiece of God, delivering messages of judgment and hope to the Israelites. 2. <a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a> The nation to whom Ezekiel is prophesying, specifically the people of Judah who are facing impending judgment due to their disobedience. 3. <a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a> The historical context of Ezekiel's prophecies, where the Israelites are in captivity due to their rebellion against God. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_day_of_the_lord.htm">The Day of the Lord</a> A significant theme in Ezekiel, representing a time of divine judgment and reckoning. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_multitude.htm">The Multitude</a> Refers to the people of Israel who are subject to God's wrath due to their collective sin.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_imminence_of_judgment.htm">The Imminence of Judgment</a> God's judgment is certain and imminent.

They belonged, it will be remembered, to the nobler and wealthier class (<a href="/2_kings/25-19.htm">2 Kings 25:19</a>). They, it would seem, had been compelled to sell their estates at a price which made the "buyer rejoice and the seller mourn." In each case the joy and the sorrow would be but transient. Wrath had gone out against the whole multitude.
