Ezekiel 23:35

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
33

Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

34

Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

35

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

36

The Lord said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;

37

That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Literal Fulfillment

The verse describes God's judgment on Israel and Judah using metaphorical language ("lewdness and whoredoms") to represent their spiritual infidelity, rather than predicting a concrete, physical event that would be literally fulfilled.

Prophetic Methods of Communication

This verse describes a divine judgment delivered to a people, not the method by which God communicates revelation to a prophet. The phrase "thus saith the Lord God" indicates the source of the message, but not the specific means (dreams, visions, etc.) by which Ezekiel received it.
