エゼキエル書 1:28 JCB

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 1:28

The rainbow is not simply a token of glory and splendor. The “cloud” and the “day of rain” point to its original message of forgiveness and mercy, and this is especially suited to Ezekiel’s commission, which was first to denounce judgment, and then promise restoration. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 1:28

Ezekiel 1:28. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud The Hebrew future, יהיה , is here frequentative, and should be rendered, Is wont to be in the cloud, in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness The meaning is, In the brightness, or light, that was about what I saw, was the appearance of the rainbow. The rainbow, as we learn from Genesis 9:12, &c., was appointed as a sign or symbol of God’s covenant of mercy with men: therefore an appearance of a rainbow... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 1:1-28

1:1-3:27 THE CALL OF EZEKIELA vision of God’s glory (1:1-28)Ezekiel lived in a Jewish settlement that bordered the Chebar River.

But he had no chance now of returning to Jerusalem. Instead God called him to be a prophet, who would take his message to his people in Babylon (1:1-3).The call came as Ezekiel was... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 1:28

Ezekiel 1:28. This was the appearance— Houbigant observes upon this vision in general; First, That it seems most probably to adumbrate the state of the Jews, who were soon to be subdued by Nebuchadrezzar and carried into captivity; and that book mentioned in the next chapter, Eze 1:9 wherein Lamentations were written, discovers this to have been the subject of the vision. Secondly, That the vision was such as to be easily intelligible by the Jews of those times who read it with attention.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 1:28

This radiance resembled a rainbow; it encircled the person on the throne. This radiance represents the glory that surrounds Yahweh as He sits on this heavenly throne (cf. Exodus 19; 1 Kings 8; Isaiah 6; Daniel 10; Revelation 4)."Noah saw the rainbow after the storm (Genesis 9:13-16), the Apostle John saw it before the storm (Revelation 4:3), but Ezekiel saw it over the storm and in control of the storm."

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 1:1-28

The Vision of God’s GloryThis vision, unlike the inaugural visions of Isaiah and Jeremiah, came to Ezekiel not only at the beginning of his prophetic ministry, but also several times during the course of it. It was early repeated in connexion with his call and commission (Ezekiel 3:23), and it appeared on two other occasions (Ezekiel 8-11, Ezekiel 43:1-5). In Ezekiel 10 in particular the account in Ezekiel 1 is closely reproduced, with some additional details.In a state of trance, or ecstasy,... read more
