Ezekiel 12:28 (ESV Strong's)
Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord God: None of my words will be delayed any longer, but the word that I speak will be performed, declares the Lord God.”
Tag: God’s Promises Are True
In Ezekiel 7-12 we are given the visions and prophecy of Ezekiel in regard to God’s wrath poured out on the people of Israel and Jerusalem. The visions are rough. It is hard to read without having some mercy and some pity on the nation. They deserve it for the abomination of idolatry (that is fully explained within the chapters). But, it is hard to imagine. Even Ezekiel had some difficult reaction. When he prophesied agains 25 specific false teachers and one of them dies, here was Ezekiel’s reaction:
Ezekiel 11:13 (ESV Strong's)
And it came to pass, while I was prophesying, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, “Ah, Lord God! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
Ezekiel had mercy that God had already displayed on the nation. But, God’s mercy is balanced by God’s justice. At the end of this section of prophesy we read the above text that God is done with the prophesy and what He has said, will come true. God gives us His word and ever stoke of the pen will come through and be true. We can rejoice in God’s veracity and fidelity. God never breaks His word, whether the promise is good or bad. God keeps His promises.
