How would ezekial know what’s going to happen thousands of years after he died


This is gonna be 😊 good
Good ? Let me port…. Here’s an obscure one. There was a man name Cyrus in the bible who was prophesied to his exact name, status and actions. I won’t list the scriptures unless you want them. This was even before Ezekiel. You don’t want Jesus prophecy all the way through King Davids line it’s well documented. That is why he cannot be denied in existence.

Concerning spiritual gifts. Paul NT was teaching the early church about having love and not just spiritual enlightenment.
Pretty certain he was saying prophecy would cease. You're trying to apply ancient prophesy to modern situations. People have been doing that forever and when it doesn't happen there's always in the future.

He talks about tongues, knowledge and prophecy not ending once and for all. He is contrasting that Love is eternal. The early Corinth church was struggling with working together. He was sent as a kinda elder statesman.

Daniel OT.
Daniel 9:25

Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One,[friend] the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.[g] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[h] In the middle of the ‘seven’[i] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple[j] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.[k]”[l]

Ending once and for all. You mentioned tongues. A lot of emphasis is put on speaking in an unknown tongue. The word tongue in the King James Version was Middle Age English that just meant language. Men in the very early Church were given various gifts by the Apostles. One was the ability to go into a foreign land and speak to people in their own language. Facilitated spreading the Gospel. But some were abusing their gift by talking in languages that others couldn't understand. Paul said it was of no benefit to others to speak in an unknown tongue in the KJV translation. No benefit to speak in an unknown language. But some denominations have used "an unknown tongue" as saying people could speak in the tongue of angels. Would have somebody doing so while another "interpreted." Not for nothing that the Apostle Paul once said to the Athenians that he perceived they were too superstitious. Speaking in tongues, doing miracles, prophesying, those times have passed.
