Commentary on Ezekiel 3:6
"Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee." God asserts that foreigners would prove more receptive than covenant Israel. This shocking statement indicts Israel's hard-heartedness despite extraordinary privileges. Greater revelation brings greater responsibility and, when rejected, greater judgment. This principle appears in Jesus' ministry: Gentiles often demonstrated greater faith than Jews (Matthew 8:10). Grace doesn't depend on heritage but sovereign election.
