에스겔 10:8-22 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 10:8-22

We have here a further account of the vision of God's glory which Ezekiel saw, here intended to introduce that direful omen of the departure of that glory from them, which would open the door for ruin to break in. I. Ezekiel sees the glory of God shining in the sanctuary, as he had seen it by the river of Chebar, and gives an account of it, that those who had by their wickedness provoked God to depart from them might know what they had lost and might lament after the Lord, groaning out their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:8

And there appeared in the cherubim ,.... The Septuagint version is, "I saw the cherubim"; and so the Syriac version, "I saw in the cherubim"; what follows: the form of a man's hand under their wings ; one of them put forth his hand, which was seen by the prophet, as declared in Ezekiel 10:7 ; but this was only the "form" of one; which is observed to show that it is not to be taken literally, but as seen in the vision of prophecy; and being under their wings denotes secrecy and privacy:... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:9

And when I looked, behold, the four wheels by the cherubim ,.... The churches by the ministers: of these "wheels", and why the churches are so called, and of their number "four", and their situation "by" the cherubim; see Gill on Ezekiel 1:15 ; one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub : a minister to a church; every church has its own pastor, elder, or overseer, by it, and over it: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone ; a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:10

And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness ,.... They were exactly like one another; they were all composed of the same matter, had all the colour of a beryl stone, were all in the same form of a wheel; and in matter, form, and shape, entirely tallied and agreed one with another, as true Gospel churches do: See Gill on Ezekiel 1:16 ; as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel : not included in one another, but were formed in a cross or transverse way; See Gill on ... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:11

When they went, they went upon their four sides ,.... Which four sides they had, by being made in the transverse way before mentioned; just as the New Jerusalem church state is said to be foursquare, Revelation 21:16 ; and this may denote the uniformity of Gospel churches in every state and condition, prosperous and adverse; and the constancy of their walk, conduct, and conversation: they turned not as they went : neither to the right hand or the left, but went on in the path of faith... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:12

And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings ,.... This is to be understood not of the wheels, to whom body or flesh, backs, hands, and wings, do not belong, but of the cherubim; and the sense is, that as the wheels were alike, and had one and the same form and appearance, so had the cherubim; they were exactly alike in their body, backs, hands, and wings; denoting the agreement between Gospel ministers, in their doctrine, work, and conversation: and the wheels ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:13

As for the wheels, it was cried to them in my hearing ,.... Or they were called, as the prophet heard in the vision, by the following name: O wheel , or, "the wheel": for though there are several particular churches, yet they make up but one general assembly and Church of the firstborn, written in heaven; and will be all together in their perfect state, signified by the round form of the wheel; See Gill on Ezekiel 1:15 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:14

And everyone had four faces ,.... That is, everyone of the wheels, for of these the words are continued; and which agrees with Ezekiel 1:15 ; See Gill on Ezekiel 1:15 , the first face was the face of a cherub ; this being in the room of the ox's face, Ezekiel 1:10 , shows that the face of an ox and a cherub are the same; and that the living creatures have the general name of cherubim, from the face of an ox; and are so called from כרב , which in the Syriac and Chaldee languages... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:15

And the cherubim were lifted up ,.... From the earth; See Gill on Ezekiel 1:19 ; this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar : a river in Chaldea, where the prophet was when he had the vision of the living creatures recorded in the "first" chapter; and hence it is out of doubt that the living creatures and the cherubim are the same. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:16

And when the cherubim went, the wheels went by them ,.... Ministers being guides to the churches in doctrine, worship, devotion, and conversation; See Gill on Ezekiel 1:19 ; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth , the same wheels also turned not from beside them ; ministers and churches go together; if the one remove, the other do also; they cannot long subsist without each other; and, generally speaking, as are the light, knowledge, zeal,... read more
