Ezekiel 12:16

The verse focuses on the *survival* of "a few men" from destruction, rather than explicitly detailing the destruction or perishing of the wicked, thus it describes an exception to destruction rather than destruction itself.

The verse explicitly states that "a few men of them" will be left, indicating survival rather than complete annihilation, and their purpose is to declare their abominations, not to be destroyed.

While the verse speaks of concrete events like "sword, famine, and pestilence," the subsequent purpose "that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen" introduces a symbolic or didactic element, suggesting the primary fulfillment might be in the message conveyed rather than solely the physical survival.

The verse focuses on the survival of a remnant and their future declaration of "abominations," which could be interpreted as a redemptive or pedagogical purpose rather than solely punitive language.

This verse describes a future outcome for a remnant of people, not an action performed by a prophet. It speaks of their survival and their future declaration of abominations, which is a verbal act, not a symbolic physical demonstration.

The verse describes God's actions and the outcome for a remnant of people, but it does not mention any specific method by which God communicates revelation to prophets.
