The "eleventh year" refers to the eleventh year of King Jehoiachin's captivity, which is around 586 BC, a pivotal time in Israel's history. This was the year Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians, marking a significant moment of judgment and fulfillment of prophetic warnings. The specificity of the date underscores the precision and reliability of God's word, reminding us that God's plans unfold in His perfect timing. on the first day of the month the word of the LORD came to me saying Persons / Places / Events 1. EzekielA prophet of God, Ezekiel was among the exiles in Babylon. His prophecies often included visions and symbolic actions. 2. The LORD The covenant name of God, Yahweh, who communicates His messages to His people through prophets like Ezekiel. 3.

Teaching Points The Sovereignty of GodGod's control over history is evident as He speaks through Ezekiel at a specific time. This reminds us that God is sovereign over all events and timelines. The Role of Prophets Prophets are God's messengers, tasked with delivering His word to the people. This underscores the importance of listening to and heeding God's messages today, as revealed in Scripture. The Importance of Timing The precise dating of the prophecy highlights the importance of God's timing. We are reminded to trust in God's perfect timing in our own lives. Judgment and Accountability The prophecy against Tyre, which follows this verse, serves as a reminder that nations and individuals are accountable to God. We should live with an awareness of our accountability to Him. The Faithfulness of God's Word The fulfillment of prophecies, such as those against Tyre, demonstrates the faithfulness and reliability of God's word. We can trust His promises and warnings.(1) In the first day of the month.--The year was that in which Jerusalem fell (2Kings 25:2-4; 2Kings 25:8-9), but the month is not given here, and cannot now be ascertained. It is plain from Ezekiel 26:2 that Tyre already felt sure of the issue of the siege; but there is a marked difference between this and the language in Ezekiel 25:3, which could only have been used after the capture of the city. This prophecy may therefore well have been given at any time during the eleventh year. Possibly the Alexandrine Septuagint is right in supplying "the first" month; but as this is omitted in the Roman copy, it is more likely to have been a mere conjecture. There is a similar omission in Ezekiel 32:17, but the number is easily supplied there from Ezekiel 26:1. Probably, in both cases the omission is a mere error of the scribes. . . . Verse 1. - In the eleventh year, etc. The last date given (Ezekiel 24:1) was the tenth day of the tenth month of the ninth year (sc. B.C. 590). We have now come to the eleventh year, on which, on the ninth day of the fourth month, Jerusalem was taken, while its destruction followed in the seventh day of the fifth month (Jeremiah 52:6, 12). Here the number of the month is not given in the Hebrew or the Vulgate, while the LXX. inserts the "first month." In Ezekiel 32:17 we have a like omission, and in both cases it is natural to assume an error of transcription. The tidings of the capture may have reached both Tyre and Tel-Abib, and Ezekiel may have heard of the temper in which the former had received them, just as he had heard how the nations named in the previous chapter had exulted in the fall, imminent and, as they thought, inevitable, of the holy city.
