Ezekiel 12:27

Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.

Cross-reference

Ezekiel 12:22 quotes the proverb 'every vision comes to nothing' — directly related to this verse's complaint that prophecies are for far-off times.

Ezekiel 11:3 has the same false assurance: 'It is not near; let us build houses' — directly parallel to the scoffing in this verse.

2 Peter 3:4 Parallel

2 Peter 3:4 records scoffers asking 'Where is the promise of his coming?' — the same skepticism about delayed prophecy that the house of Israel shows here.

Isaiah 5:19 Parallel

Isaiah 5:19 has people mocking 'Let him hasten his work' — a different but related skepticism: they demand immediate proof instead of dismissing it as far off.

Jeremiah 17:15 records the same taunt: 'Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now' — directly parallel to the dismissal of prophetic warnings here.

Lamentations 4:18 describes the end actually arriving — in stark contrast to the people here who claimed it was far off.

Amos 6:3 Parallel

Amos 6:3 condemns those who 'put far away the evil day' — the exact same mindset of pushing judgment into the distant future seen here.

In Matthew 24:48, the wicked servant says 'My master is delayed' — mirroring Israel's claim that the vision is for far-off days.

Luke 12:45 Parallel

Luke 12:45 repeats the same 'my master is delayed' servant attitude, matching Israel's dismissal of Ezekiel's prophecy as distant.

Daniel 10:14 uses the same phrase 'the vision is for many days' but as a true statement about future prophecy, contrasting with the scoffers' dismissal.

Amos 5:18 Parallel

Amos 5:18 warns those who desire the day of the LORD, unaware it will be darkness — another misperception of coming judgment, though different from the dismissal here.
