The phrase "the word of the LORD" is a common prophetic formula indicating that the message is not from the prophet's own mind but is a direct communication from God. This underscores the authority and divine origin of the message. In the context of Ezekiel, this phrase is used repeatedly to emphasize that the prophet's role is to convey God's messages to the people of Israel during their time of exile in Babylon. The use of "came to me" highlights the personal nature of the revelation, indicating that Ezekiel is a chosen vessel for God's communication. This is consistent with the role of prophets throughout the Old Testament, who often received direct messages from God to deliver to His people. The phrase also sets the stage for the specific message that follows, which often includes warnings, instructions, or prophecies. In the broader biblical context, this phrase connects to other instances where God speaks directly to His prophets, such as with Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Daniel, reinforcing the continuity of God's communication with His people through chosen individuals.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet of God during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel is the recipient of God's messages and visions.
