12:26-27 Some of the people were saying that the prophecies about coming judgment were true, but they would not come to pass for a long time.
"Rebelliousness (v. 25) can take many forms, some of them even quite pious (How do I know which preacher to believe, which church is right?'). In Ezekiel's day it was How do I know which prophet is correct (v. 24), which prophecy applies to me (v. 27)?'"199
12:28 Nevertheless the Lord promised not to delay His promises of coming judgment any longer. He would perform all that He had promised (cf. 2 Pet. 3:2-13).
