Caldron

Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types

 Ezekiel 11:3-7 (a) This is a type of Jerusalem. As broth boils in the kettle, so the inhabitants of Jerusalem were to suffer under the fire of cruel invaders.

 Micah 3:3 (a) This caldron is a picture of the terrible boiling, burning troubles that were to come upon the people because of the wrath of GOD. They were as helpless to get out of their trouble as the contents of the kettle were unable to get out of it.
