Definition: And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

Explanation: Okay, let’s break down this verse from Ezekiel 33:33. It's a pretty intriguing and symbolic statement about the future. Here’s what it means in simpler terms: Essentially, it says: “When this happens – when this situation arises – then they will realize that we are a prophet among them.” Let’s unpack that a little further: “When this comes to pass…” : This is a general statement about the future. It doesn't mean a specific event happening right now . It means a significant period of time in the past, but with implications for the future. “(lo, it will come)” : This is a key phrase – “lo” meaning "it will" or "indeed." It’s emphasizing that this is not just a possibility; it's certainly going to happen . It suggests something significant and transformative is on its way. “Then they will know…” : This is the core of the message. It’s about revelation – understanding. The people involved in this future event will finally grasp the truth. “…that a prophet hath been among them.” : This is the crucial part. It means we , as believers, are now recognized as having a special role and influence within this group of people. It’s suggesting that God has chosen us to lead and guide them in a way that’s beyond ordinary or simple guidance. What does it mean practically? This verse suggests a period of transition where God is actively working behind the scenes, guiding and influencing events. It hints at a time when we are called to be more involved and proactive in helping others understand and follow God's will. In short, it’s a promise that God is working towards a future where his people will recognize him as a leader and guide them. --- Do you want me to: Explain any of these parts in more detail?
