### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ezekiel11.13-25)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
While Ezekiel was prophesying against the wicked princes of the people, one of
|
|
||||||
them fell down dead. This is dramatic and causes Ezekiel to plead again for the
|
|
||||||
remnant of Israel. It also raises some questions. For the most part, we have
|
|
||||||
assumed these prophetic visions are like dreams while the prophet is awake.
|
|
||||||
Everything happens in their mind's eye, and the Lord shows him things that are
|
|
||||||
yet to happen, or symbolic imagery as a metaphor for the message He wishes to
|
|
||||||
convey to the people. So then, is the death of Pelatiah also a vision, or did
|
|
||||||
these twenty-five men really get a visitation from the prophet Ezekiel at the
|
|
||||||
gate to the temple and one of them died while he was speaking? The name
|
|
||||||
Pelatiah means "Yahweh provides escape", so it is a terrible omen that he dies
|
|
||||||
while the prophet speaks of the judgements that are going to happen to his
|
|
||||||
compatriots. Ultimately, while the question of the mechanics of this vision are
|
|
||||||
interesting, they are not actually important. God did what He said He would do
|
|
||||||
to the wicked people of Jerusalem, and His message was delivered to its
|
|
||||||
intended recipients: the exiles in Chaldea.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This time, when Ezekiel asks about the remnant, the Lord answers with hope and
|
|
||||||
assurance. The people left in Jerusalem had boasted to the exiles that they
|
|
||||||
were the possessors of the Promised Land, but the Lord would restore the exiles
|
|
||||||
to the land in due time. Though they were scattered among many nations, He has
|
|
||||||
protected them there and He will bring them back together again. Their hearts
|
|
||||||
will be renewed with a softness for the Lord, energizing them to follow His
|
|
||||||
commands and remove the "detestable things" and "abominations" (_v. 18_) that
|
|
||||||
are in the land.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
With the message complete, the Lord on His throne departs from the city and
|
|
||||||
travels to the mountain east of the city. (The Mount of Olives, maybe?) Ezekiel
|
|
||||||
in his turn is transported back to where he had been when the vision started.
|
|
||||||
He then tells the exiles all the things he had seen and heard from the Lord.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* * *
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You punish the wicked and spare the righteous, according to Your justice and
|
|
||||||
mercy.
