Ezekiel portrays the siege & destruction of Jerusalem for forty years
Ezekiel 4:1-6 NIV
4 “Now, son of man, take a block of clay, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. 2 Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it.6 “After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the people of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year
Jeremiah also portrays the siege and destruction of Jerusalem for seventy years
Jeremiah 25:11 NIV
11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Both prophets seem to be pointing to the Babylonian empire as the aggrressor but the years of siege and destruction seem to differ.
1)Are the prophets pointing to the same time in the history of Judah?
If so
2)Why are the years different?
