Reading for February 23rd

Oracles concerning prophets and prophecy
12.21-14.11 Ezekiel's oracles affirm the imminent fulfillment of God's visions and challenge those prophets and prophetesses who proclaim false messages of peace.

Read Ezekiel 12.21-28
In verses 21-25 Ezekiel responds to those who claim that his visions will not be fulfilled.
Proverb here refers to a common saying among the people.
Vision refers to both visual and auditory experience (see Isa 2.1).
In verses 26-27 Ezekiel responds to the charge that his visions will be fulfilled only in the
distant future by stating that they are about to be realized.
