The repetition of "the word of the LORD" emphasizes the authority and divine origin of the message. In the context of Ezekiel, this phrase often introduces a new vision or prophecy, underscoring the ongoing relationship between God and His prophet. Historically, Ezekiel was among the exiles in Babylon, and his prophecies often addressed both the immediate concerns of the exiled community and future restoration. The phrase "the word of the LORD" is a common biblical expression found throughout the Old Testament, signifying that the message is not of human origin but divinely inspired. This is consistent with other prophetic books, such as Jeremiah and Isaiah, where similar phrases are used to authenticate the message as coming directly from God. Theologically, it underscores the belief in the Bible as the inspired Word of God, a foundational tenet in Christian doctrine.<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 messages and visions, tasked with delivering them to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who communicates His will and future plans through His prophets, including Ezekiel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God, who are in exile in Babylon during Ezekiel's prophetic ministry.

Its connection with this is apparent, treating as it does of the union of the then severed branches of the house of Israel, and of the subsequent prosperity which should attend united Israel under the rule of the Messianic King of the future. That this oracle, like the former, had only a temporary and partial accomplishment in the return from captivity is so obvious as to stand in no need of demonstration.
