- Ezekiel 12:1 refers to Divinity. Is the nomenclature somewhat different from that which is customarily used by the prophet and, if so, how?
- Reference is made to “the rebellious.” What is the nature of the rebellion?
- Ezekiel is instructed to a certain pattern of action — to what end (Ezekiel 12:6)?
- What is the destiny of the remaining group in Jerusalem that was not taken into exile (Ezekiel 12:9-13)?
- What is to become of the population in Jerusalem, other than the leadership (Ezekiel 12:14)?
- If there is to be a remnant left in Jerusalem, for what purpose?
- Other than Jerusalem, what is to become of the cities and the land of Judea and Israel (Ezekiel 12:17-20)?
- Would Ezekiel 12:21-25 indicate that some form of prophecy (other than that of Ezekiel) still obtained both in Jerusalem and in the exile?
- And, as to the prophecy of Ezekiel, how do the listeners rationalize his admonitions and what is the “final word” of God stated by the prophet (Ezekiel 12:25)?
