Ezekiel 24:26 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 24:26

That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee
That is, that one that should escape the hands of the Chaldeans, when the city should be taken, should directly make the best of his way to the prophet: to cause thee to hear it with thine ears;
all the particulars of the destruction of the city and temple, as it had been represented to him in vision; when he would see the exact agreement between prophecy and facts; see ( Ezekiel 33:21 ) .

27 At that time your mouth will be opened; you will speak with him and will no longer be silent. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
