Ezekiel 10:1-3. Then I looked, &c. Most of this chapter has been explained in the notes on chap. 1. In the firmament, &c. See Ezekiel 1:26.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-22

God’s glory departs from the temple (10:1-22)In the present series of visions the fiery chariot-throne of God was in the court of the temple (see 8:3-4). The glory of God (that is, the symbolic form of God over the throne) had risen from the throne and come to rest on the threshold of the temple. From there God had directed his agents in the execution of the citizens of Jerusalem (see 9:3). From this same position on the temple threshold, God now gave further commands to the man who had... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:1

BURNING OF JERUSALEM; AND WITHDRAWAL OF GOD'S PRESENCEHere we have a continuation of the major theme of Ezekiel 8-11, which particularly deals with the final departure of the presence of God from the apostate capitol of the Once Chosen people. Ezekiel 10:1-8 prophesy the burning of Jerusalem; and Ezekiel 9:9-22 show preparations for the withdrawal of God's presence, his final departure being revealed in the next chapter.GOD'S COMMAND TO BURN THE CITYEzekiel 10:1-4"Then I looked, and, behold, in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 10:1

1. The throne of Jehovah appearing in the midst of the judgments implies that whatever intermediate agencies be employed, He controls them, and that the whole flows as a necessary consequence from His essential holiness (Ezekiel 1:22; Ezekiel 1:26). cherubim—in Ezekiel 1:26- :, called "living creatures." The repetition of the vision implies that the judgments are approaching nearer and nearer.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 10:1

Ezekiel next saw in his vision the cherubim that he had seen by the river Chebar (Ezekiel 1:22; Ezekiel 1:26). "Cherubim" probably comes from the Akkadian karabu, meaning "intercede," "be gracious," or "bless." [Note: See Cooke, pp. 112-14, for an extended note on cherubim; and The New Bible Dictionary, 1962 ed., s.v. "Cherubim," by R. K. Harrison, especially figures 56, 167, and 205.] Over their heads he again saw the throne-chariot that resembled a sapphire in its color and beauty. In Ezekiel... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:1-22

The Destruction of Jerusalem by EireIn this chapter the living chariot accompanying the vision of God’s glory is the most prominent object. The living creatures are now recognised by Ezekiel as cherubim, and called so. Otherwise the description is largely a repetition of Ezekiel 1. The man with the inkhorn is directed to take coals of fire from the glowing interior of the chariot and to scatter them over the city. This part of the vision points forward to the burning of Jerusalem as the final... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 10:1

(1) As it were a sapphire stone.—Comp. Ezekiel 1:26. No mention is here made of a being upon the throne, but it is implied by the “he spake” of the following verse. The word cherubim corresponds throughout this chapter to the living creatures of Ezekiel 1:0. read more

Ezekiel 10:12 In chapter xlvii. of Alec Forbes, George Macdonald makes a young girl ask an old blind woman whether God might not cure her of her blindness if she asked Him. 'Ay micht He, and ay will He,' answered Tibbie,' I'm only jist bidin' His time. But I'm thinkin' He'll cure me better yet nor He cured that blin' man.
