What Does Ezekiel 24:26 Mean?
He that escapeth suggests someone will survive the siege and fall of Jerusalem—perhaps a fugitive who escapes the slaughter and makes his way to the exiles in Babylon. This survivor will come unto thee—to Ezekiel—to cause thee to hear it with thine ears. The prophecy will be confirmed by eyewitness testimony, not merely by historical report.
This detail emphasizes the personal verification of the prophecy. Ezekiel will not learn of Jerusalem's fall secondhand or through rumor. An actual escapee will bring the news directly, allowing Ezekiel to hear the reality with his own ears. The prophecy's truth will be authenticated through direct testimony.
