Ezekiel 11:1-4 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

It is remarkable here again in this place, how the Lord taught his servant the Prophet by vision, and though in prison at Babylon, yet in spirit he is led to Jerusalem. Sweet teaching of the Lord, when his gracious impressions are upon his people. The Lord makes every place a Bethel, and all events as the blessed teaching of visions. So was the beloved apostle. Revelation 1:10.

Ezekiel 11:1-4

1 Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:

3 Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.

4 Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
