The phrase "the word of the LORD" is a common biblical expression indicating a message from God, often used by prophets to assert the divine origin of their message. This underscores the authority and authenticity of the prophecy. In the context of Ezekiel, this communication is part of a series of visions and messages given to him during the Babylonian exile, around 593-571 BC. The phrase "came to me" highlights the personal nature of the revelation, indicating that Ezekiel is the chosen vessel for this message. This is consistent with the role of prophets in the Old Testament, who were often called to deliver God's messages to His people, sometimes involving warnings of judgment or calls to repentance. The phrase "saying" introduces the content of the message, which in this chapter, is a pronouncement of impending judgment on Israel due to their persistent idolatry and rebellion against God. This reflects the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where disobedience leads to divine discipline. The prophetic nature of this message also points forward to the ultimate fulfillment of God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ, who is the Word made flesh, bringing both judgment and salvation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel is the recipient of God's message.
