“Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.”
Son of man, write down the name of the day, this very day; the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem on this very day. The written date establishes an objective record. The emphasis on the day connects prophecy to historical reality. The siege begins at the moment of divine pronouncement.
