God shuts and opens the prophet's mouth At the end of seven days The phrase "at the end of seven days" indicates a period of waiting and preparation. In biblical terms, the number seven often symbolizes completeness or perfection, as seen in the creation week in Genesis. This period may have been a time for Ezekiel to reflect and prepare spiritually for the message he was about to receive. It also aligns with the Jewish practice of a week-long period for certain rituals and purification processes, suggesting a time of consecration. the word of the LORD came to me saying Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Divine Timing and PreparationGod's timing is perfect, and He often uses periods of waiting to prepare His servants for their tasks. The Role of a Prophet Prophets are called to be God's mouthpiece, delivering His messages regardless of the people's response. Listening for God's Voice Like Ezekiel, believers should be attentive and ready to receive God's word, even in times of waiting or uncertainty. Faithfulness in Exile Even in difficult circumstances, such as exile, God remains active and communicates with His people. Responsibility of the Messenger With the reception of God's word comes the responsibility to act and speak according to His will. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 3Is God capable of hatred? In Ezekiel 3:27, how do we reconcile God’s foreknowledge of rejection with the purpose of delivering a warning message in the first place? What does the Bible say about God versus Satan? What is the Bible's stance on telepathy?(16) At the end of seven days.--A fresh Divine communication comes to the prophet, designed especially to impress upon him the responsibility of his office (Ezekiel 3:16-21). In Ezekiel 33:1-20 the same charge is repeated with some amplification, and there Ezekiel 3:2-6 are taken up with describing the duties of the military sentinel, upon which both these figurative addresses are founded. The language is there arranged in the parallelism of Hebrew poetry, to which there is indeed an approach here, but too imperfect to be easily represented in English. What is said there, moreover, is expressly required to be spoken to the people (Ezekiel 3:1), while this seems to have been immediately for the prophet's own ear. The substance of the communication in either place is this: man must in all cases live or die according to his own personal righteousness or sinfulness; but such a responsibility rests upon the watchman, that if he die unwarned his blood will be required at the watchman's hand. The responsibility extends only, however, to the giving of the warning, not to its results: when the warning is given the watchman has "delivered his soul," whether it is heeded or not. The word soul in Ezekiel 3:19; Ezekiel 3:21, as also in Ezekiel 33:5; Ezekiel 33:9, is not to be understood distinctively of the immortal part of man, but is equivalent to life, and forms here, as often in Hebrew, little more than a form of the reflective, thy soul = thyself. . . .
