Ezekiel 28:1
“Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,”
What does Ezekiel 28:1 mean?
This opening line introduces one of Ezekiel's divine encounters, showing how the prophet repeatedly received God's messages throughout his ministry. The repetition of "again" underscores that prophecy wasn't a one-time event for Ezekiel, but an ongoing conversation where God continued to speak to him with new messages for his people. In the context of this particular moment, God is about to deliver a difficult pronouncement against the king of Tyre, so the verse signals that what follows carries divine authority, not merely Ezekiel's own opinion. For anyone wrestling with whether God still speaks today, this pattern reminds us of God's willingness to reach out persistently and purposefully to those he calls.
