And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
And when all this actually happens, and trust me, it definitely will, then they'll finally realize there was a real prophet right there with them the whole time.
Sometimes you don't recognize truth until it's staring you right in the face.
📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet among the Jewish exiles in Babylon during the 6th century BC, warning them of God's judgment for their unfaithfulness and calling for repentance. In this verse, God emphasizes that the people will only acknowledge Ezekiel as a true prophet after his predictions of disaster come to pass, highlighting the reliability of divine prophecy. This reflects the broader biblical narrative of God's sovereignty and the consequences of ignoring His messengers.
