26on that day a fugitive will come and tell you the news.
27On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you will speak and no longer be mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.”

Ezekiel 24:27 Summary
This verse is saying that when the time is right, Ezekiel will be able to speak again and will be a sign to the people that God is in control. He will talk to someone who has escaped from a difficult situation and will tell them about God's power and love. This is similar to what happens in Exodus 14:31, where the people see God's power and trust in Him. It's a reminder that God is always working, even when we can't see what's happening, and that He wants us to trust in Him and share His message with others, as seen in Psalm 37:7.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for Ezekiel's mouth to be opened on that day?
This refers to the moment when Ezekiel will be able to speak again, after being mute, as a sign to the people that God is in control, as seen in Ezekiel 24:27, and is a fulfillment of God's promise to him in Ezekiel 3:26-27.
Who is the escaped one that Ezekiel will speak to?
The escaped one is likely a fugitive who has survived the judgment of God, as mentioned in Ezekiel 24:26, and will come to tell Ezekiel the news of what has happened, prompting Ezekiel to speak and fulfill his role as a sign to the people.
What is the significance of Ezekiel being a sign to the people?
As a sign, Ezekiel's actions and words will point to God's power and authority, demonstrating that He is the LORD, as stated in Ezekiel 24:27, and will help the people to understand and acknowledge God's sovereignty, as seen in Isaiah 55:11.
How does this verse relate to the overall message of Ezekiel's prophecy?
This verse is a key part of Ezekiel's prophecy, as it highlights God's control over all events, including the judgment of His people, and points to the ultimate goal of His prophecy: that people will know and acknowledge Him as the LORD, as seen in Ezekiel 6:7 and Ezekiel 12:15.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that God uses difficult circumstances to speak to us and to others through us?
- How can we, like Ezekiel, be a sign to those around us of God's power and love?
- What are some things that might be 'taken away' from us, like the stronghold of the people in Ezekiel 24:25, and how can we trust God in those times?
- How can we balance the need to speak out and share God's message with the need to wait on Him and trust in His timing?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 24:27
In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped,.... And shall freely converse with him about the several facts and circumstances of taking and burning the city and temple, and of the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 24:27
In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:27
Shall thy mouth be opened, to speak freely to him that brings the news, and to the Jews afterward. And thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb; from this prophecy for eighteen months during the siege he doth not prophesy of Israel, but of other nations. Thou shalt be a sign; until the event, confirmed by eye-witness, shall convince the Jews, thou shalt by sign signify to them what is coming; and when it is come to pass according to thy word, they shall confess thou wert a true prophet sent of me, and they shall see that I am the Lord.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:27
Ezekiel 24:27 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.Ver. 27. In that day shall thy mouth be opened.] Meanwhile make use of a sacred silence, wait till a new prophecy concerning this people shall be committed unto thee, as was done Ezekiel 33:1-33. Till then, prophesy against foreigners, Ammonites, Tyrians, Egyptians.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:27
(27) Shall thy mouth be opened.—The close of the chapter (Ezekiel 24:25-27) tells the prophet that he shall be informed of the fall of Jerusalem by an escaped fugitive. After that his mouth shall again be opened to utter his prophecies to the captives. Meantime, for almost two years (comp. Ezekiel 24:1 with Ezekiel 33:21), from the investment of the city until he heard of its fall, Ezekiel gave no prophecy to the Israelites. He had abundantly foretold the result, and now awaited the issue in silence. He has, however, recorded a considerable number of prophecies against foreign nations (Ezekiel 25-32). Here one great division of the prophecies of Ezekiel closes. They have been hitherto occupied almost exclusively with reproofs for sin and with warnings of impending judgment upon his people. The following prophecies, as far as Ezekiel 32, are indeed of the same character, but are directed entirely against foreign nations. This collection, as noticed in the Introduction, § 4, is not arranged chronologically like the rest of the book, but on the plan of putting together the prophecies against each nation.
Ezekiel 29:17-21 is dated more than sixteen years after the fall of Jerusalem, and Ezekiel 32 about two months after the tidings of that event; all the others which are dated are before, but only a little before, the capture of Jerusalem. Most of those undated seem to be in their chronological place, except that the first of them (Ezekiel 25) was evidently after the fall of Jerusalem. After that great judgment was made known to the prophet, there is a marked change in his utterances, and from that time his general tone is far more cheering and consolatory.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:27
Verse 27. In that day shall thy mouth be opened] That is, When some one who shall have escaped from Jerusalem, having arrived among the captives, shall inform them of the destruction of the city, the temple, the royal family, and the people at large; till then he might suppress his tears and lamentations. And we find from Ezekiel 33:21, that one did actually escape from the city, and informed the prophet and his brethren in captivity that the city was smitten. Thus he was not only a prophet to foretell such things, but he was also a sign or portent, shadowing them out by circumstances in his own person and family; and thus the prediction, agreeing so perfectly with the event, proved that the previous information was from the Lord.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 24:27
27. opened to him] Or, with him, i.e. when he comes. Cf. Ezekiel 3:26-27, Ezekiel 33:22. The last words of this verse recur to the prophet’s demeanour Ezekiel 24:16-18.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 24:27
27. Thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb — This intimates that from this date to the time of the coming of the messenger announcing the fall of Jerusalem some three years later, Ezekiel uttered no
