A Humble Messenger
Commentators explain that God addresses Ezekiel as "Son of man" to remind him of his human frailty, especially after witnessing divine glory. This title, used over 90 times for Ezekiel, kept him humble and served as a powerful reminder that God uses ordinary, mortal people for His extraordinary purposes. It also connects Ezekiel as a type of Christ, who often used the same title for Himself.
