| yesterday | comment | added | Dan Fefferman | @user1338998 I understand your question more clearly now. Jeremiah definitely sheds light on this but the prophecy that you quoted in the OP clearly had to do with Jerusalem. And even without Jeremiah, we could deduce from 2 Kings and other sources that refugees from the north and the poorer citizens of Jerusalem could now appropriate the property abandoned by the city’s upper class when they were deported. | |

| yesterday | comment | added | user1338998 | Thanks. However, I just feel that Ezekiel has to be read within the context of Jeremiah because (Ezekiel 11:3) ... ‘The time is Not near to build houses.....' Only states that it isn't close to the time to build houses. The problem with the aforementioned verse is that the Western 21st century bible reader will be wondering, "where exactly are they telling their people to Not build houses? Is it Jerusalem or Is it Babylon?" | |
