Commentary on Ezekiel 12:24

Theological / Devotional

Vain vision. The false prophets predicted prosperity and the early return of the captives from Babylon. The true prophets foretold a long captivity, a heavy loss of life, and a destroyed and desolated city and Temple. The scoffers probably argued that Ezekiel’s predictions were as vain as he declared those of the false prophets to be. God would effectively answer their reasoning, and convince these false prophets of their lying divination, and these scoffers of their illogical arguments, by bringing about the speedy fulfillment of the predicted doom.
