The Certainty of Prophecy
Commentators explain that when God commands Ezekiel to 'wail' and 'cast them down,' it is a prophetic act. The prophet isn't literally causing the destruction, but his declaration, made by divine command, signifies the absolute certainty that God will bring it to pass. This shows that God's spoken word through His prophets is powerful and its fulfillment is guaranteed.
