In the context of Ezekiel, the prophet is addressing the people of Judah, who are facing the consequences of their persistent idolatry and rebellion against God. The term "anguish" reflects the intense suffering and distress that will accompany the Babylonian invasion and the subsequent destruction of Jerusalem. This warning is consistent with the broader biblical theme of divine retribution for sin, as seen in other prophetic books like Jeremiah and Isaiah. The use of the word "coming" emphasizes the certainty and imminence of this judgment, underscoring the urgency of repentance.<p><b>They will seek peace,</b><br>In the midst of impending disaster, the people will desperately seek peace and relief from their suffering. This reflects a common human response to crisis, where individuals turn to various sources for comfort and security. Historically, the people of Judah sought alliances with neighboring nations like Egypt to secure peace, rather than turning to God. This phrase highlights the futility of seeking peace through human means when divine judgment is decreed. It also echoes the broader biblical narrative where true peace is found only in obedience to God and His covenant.<p><b>but find none.</b><br>Despite their efforts, the people will not find the peace they seek. This outcome is a direct result of their disobedience and the fulfillment of God's judgment. The inability to find peace serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of turning away from God. It also points to the limitations of human solutions in the face of divine will. This phrase can be connected to the New Testament, where true peace is ultimately found in Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, who reconciles humanity to God. The absence of peace in Ezekiel's context foreshadows the need for a savior who can provide lasting peace and redemption.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel was called by God to deliver messages of judgment and hope to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation to whom Ezekiel prophesied, specifically the people of Judah who were facing impending judgment due to their disobedience and idolatry.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a></b><br>The period during which the Israelites were taken captive by Babylon, serving as a backdrop for Ezekiel's prophecies.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/j/judgment.htm">Judgment</a></b><br>The central theme of this passage, where God declares the coming of anguish and the absence of peace due to the people's sins.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/p/peace.htm">Peace</a></b><br>A state that the Israelites desperately sought but could not find due to their rebellion against God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_reality_of_divine_judgment.htm">The Reality of Divine Judgment</a></b><br>God's judgment is real and inevitable for those who persist in sin.
