Interesting little twist in the following verse…was Ezekiel speaking of Zedekiah when he says the prince will not see the land of the Chaldeans?

Ezek 12:13
I will spread my net for him, and he will be caught in my snare; I will bring him to Babylonia, the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it, and there he will die.

Jer 52:11
Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon, where he put him in prison till the day of his death.

If it was indeed Zedekiah, he certainly didn’t “see” it.

The reference to “whitewash” has connections in the New Testament as well as today.

Ezek 13:10
"'Because they lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash,

Matt 23:27
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.

God is pretty specific and descriptive in how He feels about whitewash! What connections can we make today concerning whitewash and prophets and teachers?
