The time Ezekiel predicted this Jerusalem had not yet been destroyed and Judah had not yet been completely conquered. As discussed before elements of prophesy as delivered are from God and the time is God's Time,- reconstituted time so what is happening touches upon the present, also what has been determined earlier. So Time is on the wings of an arrow that moves one eternity to another. The man in the Linen who shall come in subsequent chapters is the Word of God given a shape consistent with this being a vision. The prophet is among other captives in exile yet he is in Jerusalem witnessing the abominations practiced behind a cloak of piety. It is true now as it was then. So abomination of ministers set over modern churches is cut from the same cloth of Ezekiel's time. Elders prophets and princes worshiping idols in the Holies is covetousness, another variant for idolatry. Jerusalem points to Zion that is in future,"Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken(Is.33:20)".
V.v 10-11
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. /Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of their's: neither shall there be wailing for them.
Here is Aaron's rod is referred. When it blossomed it was a clear indication of God's favor for the nation and the temple worship. Now it has blossomed into one of indignation. Judgment and Mercy are two sides of the word of God."O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation (Is.10:5)".
