Ezekiel 24:16 foretells the death of Ezekiel's wife—here it happens exactly as prophesied, fulfilling that earlier word.

Ezekiel 12:7 shows the prophet similarly obeying a symbolic command—both verses emphasize his immediate obedience to God's instructions.

1 Corinthians 7:30 says those who mourn should be as though not mourning—directly echoes Ezekiel's response to his wife's death.

1 Corinthians 7:29 urges living as though not married—parallels Ezekiel's detachment after his wife's death, but motivated by eschatological urgency.
