Definition: Ezekiel 24:19 is a Bible verse that often gets used in humor or to make light of a serious matter.

The word "ezekiel" has a Hebrew name, which means "teacher." Ezekiel was the priest and prophet of God. In this verse, he is explaining something important to his people about what it means for individuals to have a relationship with God: "The Lord said, 'I am the Lord: I will dwell in Jerusalem forever; I shall not depart from you.'" (Ezekiel 24:19) So, Ezekiel was speaking of a special relationship that no one could escape, and he is promising that this person will stay where they are - forever. In another example, let's use "ezekiel" as a metaphorical tool to make a joke: "Why can't we just go to the bathroom while we're waiting for God to shower us with rain?" someone says in an exaggerated voice. The joke is that if you have a relationship with God and want something to shower you with rain, you might be better off just going to the bathroom while he showers you with rain. So let's look at this verse from Ezekiel 24:19 and see how we can make light of it while still maintaining some level of seriousness.
