In that day your mouth will be opened to the escaped one; and you will speak and be mute no longer; and you will certainly become to them a portent, and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.”—Ezek. 24:25-27.

So until the day of the coming of the authentic report of verification Ezekiel was to be mute, that is, speechless as regards further prophesying about the disaster to befall Jerusalem and the Kingdom of Judah. Till the escaped one with the report about Jerusalem’s destruction finally arrived, the Jewish exiles in Babylon could think over what Ezekiel had prophesied to them. If they so chose, they could remain unbelieving. But their unbelief would in due time be blasted to pieces by the arrival of an authentic eyewitness of Jerusalem’s downfall.
Ezekiel would then be in position to speak from a better background of events. He would have a new, fresh message. His authority as a true inspired prophet of Jehovah would have been established. As a “sign” man or as a “portent” of what was fast impending, he had not proved false.
