Context — Ezekiel’s Wife Dies

23Your turbans will remain on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep, but you will waste away because of your sins, and you will groan among yourselves. 24‘Thus Ezekiel will be a sign for you; you will do everything that he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’

25And you, son of man, know that on the day I take away their stronghold, their pride and joy—the desire of their eyes which uplifted their souls—and their sons and daughters as well,

26on that day a fugitive will come and tell you the news. 27On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you will speak and no longer be mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.”

Ezekiel 24:25 Summary

[This verse is saying that God is going to take away the things that the Israelites love and trust in, like the Temple and their families, because they have turned away from Him. This is a reminder that our security and joy should come from God alone, not from earthly things (Psalm 37:4). Just like the Israelites, we can trust that God's plans are to prosper us, not to harm us (Jeremiah 29:11), even when we face difficult circumstances.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean for God to take away the Israelites' stronghold, pride, and joy?

This refers to the loss of the Temple and the city of Jerusalem, which were the center of Israel's worship and identity, as prophesied in Ezekiel 24:25 and also in Lamentations 1:10, where it is written that the enemy has entered the sanctuary.

Why does God mention the sons and daughters in this verse?

The inclusion of sons and daughters emphasizes the totality of the loss and devastation that the Israelites will experience, leaving no one unaffected, much like the devastation described in Jeremiah 6:11.

Is this verse only referring to the physical loss of the Temple and the city, or is there a spiritual aspect as well?

While the physical loss is certainly a part of the prophecy, the spiritual aspect of turning away from idols and false worship is also implied, as seen in Ezekiel 20:7-8, where God calls the Israelites to reject the idols of Egypt and worship Him alone.

How does this verse relate to the overall message of Ezekiel's prophecy?

This verse is part of Ezekiel's message of judgment and restoration, emphasizing that God's judgment is not just punitive, but also redemptive, as seen in Ezekiel 36:22-32, where God promises to restore Israel and give them a new heart.

Reflection Questions

What are the strongholds in my life that I have made into idols, and how can I surrender them to God?
How can I, like Ezekiel, be a sign to others of God's redemption and restoration, even in the midst of difficulty and loss?
What are the things that bring me pride and joy, and are they aligned with God's will and purposes for my life?
In what ways can I trust God's sovereignty and goodness, even when I face loss and uncertainty, just as the Israelites did in this verse?

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 24:25

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:25

Shall it not be? the question is to be resolved affirmatively, it shall be. In the day; in the day of the taking the city of Jerusalem. When I take from them; though Nebuchadnezzar was the means or instrument, God did act by him, who did God’ s work more than his own. Their strength, & c.; the kingdom dissolved, the king taken, city sacked, the temple burnt, which is by the following characters described, as the only thing they valued; though those particulars may be applied to soils and daughters in the close of the verse: however, it amounts to this, In that day, wherein all their public and private joys and hopes shall be destroyed in the destruction of the kingdom and their children, one that escapeth shall bring the news to the prophet.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:25

Ezekiel 24:25 Also, thou son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,Ver. 25. When I take from them their strength.] Their kingdom, temple, all. And that whereupon they set their minds.] Heb., The lifting up of the soul, or the burden of their souls, that whereof they are most solicitous.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 24:25

25–27. When tidings come of the city’s fall, verifying the prophet’s predictions and giving confirmation to all the principles which he had long declared, his mouth will be opened, he will have confidence to speak and more willing listeners before him.
