Ezekiel 21:27 — English Berean Standard Bible (BSB) 2025
A ruin, a ruin, I will make it a ruin! And it will not be restored until the arrival of Him to whom it belongs, to whom I have assigned the right of judgment. ’
What Does This Mean?
This verse says that God will completely change something, and it won't be the same until the rightful owner comes and takes it. The speaker is God, and the key message is about a promised restoration and rightful ownership.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a toy that someone took from you and changed it a lot. God is saying he will make big changes until the right person comes and gets the toy back.
Historical Background
Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this around 593-571 BCE. He was speaking to the Israelites who were about to be exiled from their land. The context is one of judgment and promised restoration by God.
Living It Out Today
In modern times, this verse can apply to someone waiting for justice or restoration in a situation they don't control. For example, a community waiting for the return of land rights.
