Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying
Then
The word "Then" serves as a temporal marker, indicating a sequence of events. In the context of Ezekiel, it signifies a continuation of God's communication with the prophet. This word underscores the ongoing nature of divine revelation, reminding us that God’s messages are timely and purposeful. It invites us to consider the context of previous verses, where God addresses the skepticism of the people regarding the fulfillment of His prophecies.

the word
In Hebrew, "word" is "dabar," which can mean a spoken word, command, or matter. It emphasizes the power and authority of God's communication. In the biblical context, "the word" is not merely a collection of sounds or letters but a dynamic force that accomplishes God's will. This reminds us of the creative power of God's word, as seen in Genesis, where God speaks creation into existence.

of the LORD
The term "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God. It signifies His eternal, self-existent nature and covenant relationship with His people. This phrase assures us that the message Ezekiel receives is not from a distant deity but from the covenant-keeping God who is intimately involved with His people. It is a reminder of God's faithfulness and His commitment to His promises.

came
The word "came" indicates movement and initiative. It suggests that the word of the LORD actively approaches Ezekiel, highlighting the proactive nature of God’s communication. This reflects the idea that God reaches out to humanity, desiring to reveal His will and guide His people. It is a comforting reminder that God is not silent but continually seeks to engage with us.

to me
The phrase "to me" personalizes the message, indicating that Ezekiel is the chosen recipient of God's word. It underscores the role of the prophet as a mediator between God and His people. This personal address highlights the responsibility and privilege of receiving divine revelation. It encourages us to be attentive and responsive to God’s communication in our own lives.

saying
The word "saying" introduces the content of the message that follows. It prepares the reader for the specific instructions or revelations that God is about to impart. This word serves as a bridge between the divine source and the prophetic message, emphasizing the clarity and intentionality of God’s communication. It reminds us that God’s words are meant to be heard, understood, and acted upon.

Verses 26, 27. - The words imply another interval of silence, meditation, and then a fresh utterance to the same effect as before. In this case (ver. 27) we trace a slight modification in the language of the gainsayers. They recognize Ezekiel both as a seer and a prophet. They do not say that his vision "faileth." They content themselves with throwing the fulfilment into the distant future. Their thought is that of the proverb which has been ascribed to more than one king or statesman, Apres moi le deluge. To these his answer is nearly in the same terms as before. Still harping on the offensive word, he tells them that nothing that he has spoken shall be "prolonged." The destruction of the temple and the holy city, the departure of the Divine Presence from the sanctuary, these were already within measurable distance
