The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof./For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
Compare the above passages with a land transaction Jeremiah entered with his kinsman. God commands Jeremiah who was shut up to buy the land."Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it (Je.32:8-9)". It is not the case here. Ezekiel's prophecy is looking forward to the end times and Jerusalem of the rebellious nation no more would merit God's favor. They shall be like doves as mentioned in v.16,'But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.'
"And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it./My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it."(vv.21-22)
In v.21 we have a clear passage of Jerusalem under the Ottoman Empire. 'for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it'.
Vv. 12-13
