Ezekiel 12:26
“Again Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,”
What does Ezekiel 12:26 mean?
This short verse marks a turning point in Ezekiel's prophecies. God is about to give the prophet a new message to deliver to the people of Jerusalem, who were stubbornly refusing to listen to earlier warnings about their impending exile. The phrase "the word of Yahweh came to me" appears throughout Ezekiel and signals that what follows carries God's authority, not Ezekiel's own ideas. For those walking through difficult seasons, this reminder that God continues to speak, to reach out, and to pursue his people with truth can be deeply comforting, even when the message itself might be hard to hear.
