Introdução
VI.
The two prophecies contained in Ezequiel 6:7 are distinct, although both closely connected with the explanation of the symbolism in Ezequiel 5. They were probably uttered at sufficient intervals of time from Ezequiel 5 and from each other to allow of a distinct impression being made by each of them; yet the interval could not have been long, since Ezequiel 8 is dated in the sixth month of the sixth year. There must therefore have been such a following up of one blow after another of prophetic denunciation as was calculated to produce the most profound effect. In the present chapter judgment is denounced upon the idolatrous places and people, although a remnant are to be saved who shall recognise the hand of the Lord, and then the terribleness of the judgment of desolation is enlarged upon. In Ezequiel 7 the quickness and inevitableness of this judgment is the chief thought. In both the judgment is no longer denounced merely against Jerusalem, as representing the people, but is expressly extended to the whole land.
