AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ezekiel 11:3 who say, 'Is not the time near to build houses? This city is [secure just like] the pot and we are the meat [in it].' |
Bible Question: What is being implied by the wicked leaders of Jerusalem in the statement "this city is the pot and we are the flesh?" |
Bible Answer: Hello, Bro.! A warm welcome to SBF! What is being implied in Ezek 11:3 is that they, (the wicked leaders) are somehow being protected and feeling quite safe from siege, as the brass would separate the meat from the flame, from being burned. See, also in, Jer 1:13 where is seen a, boiling pot, facing "away" from the north, from whence destruction is imminent. If I may, suggest a couple good commentaries. http://www.freegrace.net/gill/ And http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/ezekiel/jfb/ezekiel11.htm God bless John |
