THE MESSAGE
God 's Message came to me: "Son of man, do you hear what Israel is saying: that the alarm the prophet raises is for a long time off, that he's preaching about the far-off future? Well, tell them, ‘ God , the Master, says, "Nothing of what I say is on hold. What I say happens."' Decree of God , the Master."

Contextual Overview

²¹ The Lord spoke to me. ²² "Mortal man," he said, "why do the people of Israel repeat this proverb: ‘Time goes by, and predictions come to nothing'? ²³ Now tell them what I, the Sovereign Lord , have to say about that. I will put an end to that proverb. It won't be repeated in Israel any more. Tell them instead: The time has come, and the predictions are coming true! ²⁴ "Among the people of Israel there will be no more false visions or misleading prophecies. ²⁵ I, the Lord , will speak to them, and what I say will be done. There will be no more delay. In your own lifetime, you rebels, I will do what I have warned you I would do. I have spoken," says the Sovereign Lord . ²⁶ The Lord said to me, ²⁷ "Mortal man, the Israelites think that your visions and prophecies are about the distant future. ²⁸ So tell them that I, the Sovereign Lord , am saying: There will be no more delay. What I have said will be done. I, the Sovereign Lord , have spoken!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Again, the word of the Lord came to me, saying. This is repeated to confirm what was before spoken, and that they might assure themselves that there would be a certain and speedy accomplishment of what the Lord had said by his prophet.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As in Ezekiel 7:0, the nearness of the judgment is foretold.

Ezekiel 12:22

The land of Israel - is put generally for the land where the children of Israel dwelt, whether at home, or in exile. There was prevalent a disregard for the true prophets, which is ever followed by a recognition of the false. First, the true prophet is rejected because it is thought that his prophecies fail. Then men persuade themselves that if the prophecy be true it respects some distant time, and that the men of the present generation need not disturb themselves about it. Compare Jeremiah 1:11; Amos 6:3; Matthew 24:43; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:4. Against both these delusions Ezekiel is commissioned to protest, and so to lead the way to his condemnation of his countrymen for their blind reliance on false prophets.
