Please read Ezekiel 12.

Meditate on verses 1-2.
Then the word
of the LORD came to me, saying,
"Son of man, you live in the midst of the
rebellious house,
who have eyes
to see but do not see,
ears to hear
but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel
again became a walking sermon illustration for the rebellious people of Israel
and their king, Zedekiah. Morning, evening, and night Ezekiel carried around
baggage as a message that they would indeed pack their bags and be taken to
Babylon, just as the two waves of exiles before them were taken. Even King
Zedekiah, the last king of Judah, would be exiled with his eyes blinded by the
Babylonians (v. 13; 2 Kings 25:1-7).
As
the time drew near (586 BC) for this 3rd and final exile, the people believed
everything would be fine, and the exilic prophecies would prove false (v. 22).
However, God promised the fulfillment of every vision (v. 23).
Some
people today are still in denial of Scriptural prophetic truth. They mock the promises of Christ’s return (2 Peter 3:4). Some listen to false prophets who speak destructive heresies and malign the truth (2 Peter 2:1- 3). The Word of the LORD, spoken through
the faithful prophet Ezekiel, still rings
relevant and true today.
Ask
God to make you a faithful watchman who boldly speaks His Word. Pray using the
words from Ezekiel 12:22-23.
“LORD, let me
never speak this false proverb:
‘The days are long and every vision
fails.’
Let me boldly
say, ‘The days draw near as
well as the fulfillment of every vision from
God’s Word.’
In Your name,
Jesus~”
