Commentary on Ezekiel 21:2

"Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel," God commands confrontational posture—"set thy face toward Jerusalem" indicates hostile opposition. "Drop thy word" (hatef, הַטֵּף) means prophesy or preach with intensity. Even "holy places" (mikdashim, מִקְדָּשִׁים) receive judgment—religious sites don't guarantee protection when defiled by sin. The command to prophesy "against" (al, עַל) the land emphasizes adversarial relationship—God opposes His own people due to covenant violation.
