What Does Ezekiel 20:45 Mean?
After the exhaustive review of Israel's history and the promise of restoration, a new utterance begins. The formula 'the word of the LORD came unto me' marks a shift from the historical-theological discourse to a specific prophetic vision. The change in topic is signaled by this formal introduction.
The weariness of the previous oracle's length is acknowledged by the fresh beginning. What follows will be different in form and perhaps more focused than the sweeping historical survey. The new oracle will continue God's message but through a different prophetic form.
