Ezekiel 21:19
Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city. Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
Ezekiel 21:19 is part of the account of Israel's overthrow by Babylon under King Nebuchadnezzar. It belongs to Ezekiel's message to the captives in Babylon reciting the steps that led to their dispersion, showing that their transgressions had borne fruit and they were reaping the harvest of their own sowing, for idolatry mingled with Sabbath desecration brought their trouble and captivity. It pictures the king of Babylon coming to the parting of the ways at the head of the way to the city and using divination to choose his course, with God guiding the outcome. It points out the destruction of the kingdom of Judah and the change in human dominion, with three more overturnings to take place by Medo-Persia, by Grecia, and by Rome, and then Christ would come and the kingdom would be His.
