Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign,.... These are the words of the prophet concerning himself; observing that in all the above things he was a sign to the Jews of what should befall them, and what should be their case:
and according to all that he hath done shall ye do; however it might be then a matter of scorn and derision:
and when this cometh: when this prophecy comes to pass, and all these calamities come upon the city and temple:
ye shall know that I am the Lord God; omniscient, omnipotent, true, and faithful.
sign--a typical representative in his own person of what was to befall them (Isaiah 20:3).
when this cometh--alluding probably to their taunt, as if God's word spoken by His prophets would never come to pass. "Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come now" (Jeremiah 17:15). When the prophecy is fulfilled, "ye shall know (to your cost) that I am the Lord," who thereby show My power and fulfil My word spoken by My prophet (John 13:19; John 14:29).
