Ezekiel 24:1 Summary
Ezekiel 24:1 tells us that the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel on a specific date, which marked the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem by the king of Babylon. This event was a fulfillment of God's prophecy and a call to Ezekiel to speak to the people of Israel about their sin and rebellion against God, as seen in Romans 11:25-32. In simple terms, this verse reminds us that God is always speaking to us, and we need to be attentive to His voice, as seen in Psalm 119:105 and John 10:27. By listening to God's word and obeying His commands, we can avoid the consequences of sin and experience His love and mercy, as promised in Jeremiah 31:3 and 1 John 1:9.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:1
EZEKIEL CHAPTER 24 By the parable of a boiling pot is showed the destruction of Jerusalem, the bloody city, . Ezekiel is forbidden to mourn for the death of his wife, , to denote that this calamity of the Jews shall be beyond all expressions of sorrow, . In that day of affliction the prophet’ s mouth shall be opened to their conviction, . In the ninth year of the captivity of Jeconiah, and those that were carried away with him; it falls in also with the year of Zedekiah’ s reign, though the prophet, and the captives now in Babylon, reckon not by this, but by the former. The tenth month; which answers to part of December and January. The tenth day; about our 29th of December, when the winter was well over with them. Came unto me; the prophet was now in Babylon many leagues from Jerusalem.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:1
Ezekiel 24:1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,Ver. 1. Again in the ninth year.] Of Jehoiakim’ s captivity, three years before the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:1
(1) In the tenth day of the month.—Jehoiachin’s captivity (by which all these prophecies are dated) coincided with Zedekiah’s reign. The date here given is therefore the same as in Jeremiah 39:1; Jeremiah 52:4; 2 Kings 25:1, and was afterwards observed by the Jews as a fast (Zechariah 8:19). It was doubtless the day on which the investment of the city was completed.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:1
CHAPTER XXIV The prophet now informs those of the captivity of the very day on which Nebuchadnezzar was to lay siege to Jerusalem, (compare Jeremiah 52:4,) and describes the fate of that city and its inhabitants by a very apt similitude, 1-14. As another sign of the greatness of those calamities the prophet is forbidden to mourn for his wife, of whom he is to be deprived; intimating thereby that the sufferings of the Jews should be so astonishing as to surpass all expressions of grief; and that private sorrow however affectionate and tender the object, ought to be absorbed in the public calamities, 15-18. The prophet, having farther expressed his prediction in plain terms, intimates that he was to speak to them no more till they should have the news of these prophecies having been fulfilled, 19-27. NOTES ON CHAP. XXIV Verse 1. The ninth year] This prophecy was given in the ninth year of Zedekiah, about Thursday, the thirtieth of January, A.M. 3414; the very day in which the king of Babylon commenced the siege of Jerusalem.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 24:1
1–14. The rusted caldron set on the fire (1) Ezekiel 24:1-5. A caldron is to be set on the fire, filled with water, pieces of flesh cast into it and fuel piled under it that it may boil furiously. The caldron is Jerusalem; the pieces of flesh the inhabitants; the fire and boiling the siege with its terrible severities. The pieces of flesh shall be pulled out of the caldron indiscriminately, symbol of the universal dispersion when the siege is over. (2) Ezekiel 24:6-8. Explanation: these sufferings are judgments for the sins of the city, its bloodshed and uncleanness, which are public and open. This blood and filthiness cleaves to it like rust to a caldron. (3) Ezekiel 24:9-14. Rising anew into tones of menace the divine voice commands that the caldron be set empty upon the coals that its rust and foulness may be molten and consumed.
This must signify the ruin in which the city shall long lie, and the dispersion in which her inhabitants shall pine away, till her warfare be accomplished and her iniquity pardoned.
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 24:1
The prophecies in this chapter were delivered two years and five months after those of the previous section Ezekiel 20:1.
