Ezekiel 6:10
6:10 They will know that I am the Lord; my threats to bring this catastrophe on them were not empty.’ 1
Ezekiel 24:26
24:26 On that day a fugitive will come to you to report the news. 2
Ezekiel 33:33
33:33 When all this comes true – and it certainly will 3 – then they will know that a prophet was among them.”
