Behold, I will kindle a fire in you. It will devour every moist tree in you and every dry tree. Its
leaping flame will not be extinguished. All faces from the south to the north will be scorched by
it. (4) All flesh will see that I, Adonai, have kindled it; it will not be extinguished.’” (5) Then I
said, “Ah, Adonai! They say of me. ‘Isn’t he just speaking in parables?’”
(7) “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem and proclaim to the sanctuaries and prophesy
against the land of Israel
• The people didn’t grasp the idea of fire as God’s judgment
• So now Ezekiel was to change the imagery to the sword, or invading army - Babylon
• The devastation would be complete, against both the guilty and the innocent
• The innocent or righteous was carried into captivity to teach repentance to the survivors
