The king of Babylon; <\/B>Nebuchadnezzar, who in person it is like was there at first to encourage, direct, and settle the siege, though he withdrew from it for his delights when he perceived it would be a long siege, as on Eze 11:11<\/span>, the issue whereof he expected at Antioch on the banks of Orontes. <\/P> Set himself against; <\/B>sat down to besiege. <\/P> <\/p>\n 2. set himself<\/B>laid siege;<\/I>“lay against.”<\/P><\/p>\n Son of man, write thee the name of the day<\/strong>,…. That is, what day of the week it was, as well as what day of the month; as whether the first, or second, or third, c.: for the Jews had no other names for their days, as we have:<\/p>\n even of this same day<\/strong> according to Bishop Usher r, it was the 30th of January, and the fifth day of the week (Thursday); A.M. 3414, or 590 before Christ. Mr. Whiston s places it at 3413 A.M. or 591 before Christ. The prophet is bid to observe it punctually, and write it exactly, that there might be no mistake; to set it down in his pocket book; or it may be in some public register, that it might not only be remembered by him, but known by the people; that so when they should hear the fact afterwards related, and exactly agreeing with this prediction, they would acknowledge him to be a true prophet; since this would be a confirmation of the word of the Lord coming to him:<\/p>\n the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day<\/strong>; or “drew nigh” t; brought up his army to it, and laid siege against it, and prepared everything to carry it on; which he very probably did in person, though he afterwards retired, and left the command of his army with his generals; and this was exactly the day before mentioned; see<\/p>\n 2Ki 25:1<\/span>. The Prophet Ezekiel was now in Chaldea, many miles from Judea, and yet had this account the very selfsame day, even from the Lord himself, who is omniscient and omnipresent.<\/p>\n r Annales Vet.

The words has set himself against would be more accurately rendered has fallen upon. <\/em>The supposition that the reference is to some point on his march from which Nebuchadnezzar advanced to the attack upon Jerusalem, and that tidings of this were brought to the prophet in the ordinary way, is quite inconsistent with the whole verse. It is plain that the prophet means to say, with especial emphasis and distinctness, that he was informed of what was taking place at Jerusalem on the same day in which it happened.<\/p>\n Eze 24:2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.<\/p>\n Ver. 2. This same day.<\/strong> ] Ezekiel in Mesopotamia is told by God, and telleth others the very day that Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem. 2Ki 25:1 Jer 39:1<\/span><\/em> ; <\/em> Jer 52:4 Heathen historians all us of Apollonius Tyanaeus, that in the self-same day and hour wherein Domitian the emperor was slain at Rome, he got up into a high place at Ephesus in Asia, and calling together a great multitude of men, he spake these words, K S, S – Well done, Stephen, strike the murderer home, pay him soundly; thou hast struck him, thou hast wounded him to the heart, thou hast slain him outright; a<\/em> I commend thee for it. This, if it were so, was brought to him by the devil doubtless. Our prophet had a better intelligencer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> , , , . – Dio Domit.<\/p>\n Son of man.

Ezekiel was in Babylon and hence would have no knowledge of the exact movements of Nebuchadnezzar without the message from the Lord as here stated. To clarify the memory of the reader I will again state that the third stage of the 70- year captivity had not occurred, but it was about due and was to be started with a siege.<\/p>\n Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
