Ezekiel 24:26 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He; so few escape, that the prophet seems to confine it to one. That escapeth the common destruction when Jerusalem was sacked. Shall come unto thee, purposely to declare how God hath made good his threats. To cause thee to hear it; to give thee a narrative of all he had seen and observed: and this particular prediction, which I doubt not Ezekiel imparted to many who might see it fulfilled, was accomplished in the twelfth year, tenth month, and fifth day of the month, Ezekiel 33:21, with Jeremiah 52:6, after the city was taken (which happened in the eleventh year, fourth month, and ninth day of Zedekiah's reign, and Jeconiah's captivity) one whole year, five months, and twenty-four days.

Ezekiel 24:26

26 That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
