Visions of the Kingdom: Week 14

Ezekiel 12:1-28: The Coming Captivity

• 12:5 "dig through the wall" - 2 Kings 25:4-6
• 12:10 "the prince in Jerusalem" - Zedekiah. Apparently, many exiles believed God would protect Jerusalem as He did from the Assyrians, and they would return to Israel. Zedekiah is called a "prince", because the true king was Jehoichin in Babylon.
• 12:13 "yet he will not see it" - 2 Kings 25:7
• 12:19 "eat bread with anxiety" - 2 Kings 25:3
