Ezekiel 13:11 - Exposition

In words which would almost seem to have been in our Lord's thoughts in Matthew 7:25 , we have the picture of an Eastern storm, torrents of rain passing into hail ( LXX ; λίθοι πετρόβολοι ) , accompanied by a tornado of irresistible violence (compare like pictures in Exodus 9:22 ; Joshua 10:11 ; Isaiah 30:30 ; Isaiah 28:2 , Isaiah 28:17 ). And when the disaster comes men will turn to those who professed to be master builders and repairers of the breach, with derision, and ask, "Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed?" And then men shall see that through all this it is Jehovah's hand that has been working. It is he who "rends" the wall; he who "brings it down to the ground;" he who "accomplishes his wrath" ( Matthew 7:13-15 ). That shall be the end of the false "visions of peace."
