Bible Question (short): when is prophecy near or far? |
Question (full): Ezkeiel 12:21-28 is a message from God to Ezekiel that a proverb bemoaning the lengthy time for a prophesy to be fulfilled has accounted for a dismissal of prophecy by the people. Would it be reasonable from this passage to assert unless a prophecy says it is for a time in the distant future, that we may expect a near/soon fulfillment? As an example, should the prophecy and fulfillment of Second Kings 10:30 be considered near or far? Thank you. s/Lowry |
