The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:2

The glory of the God of Israel. The visionary glory that dazzled the eyes of the rapt seer is but an earthly suggestion of that ineffable glory in which the unseen God is ever clothed. We may take the manifestation of glory as a type and suggestion of that higher wonder. I. IN WHAT THE GLORY OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL CONSISTS . 1. The radiance of heavenly light . The glory is like the effulgence of sunlight, the raying forth of beams of splendor from the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:3

The prophet identifies the vision on which he now looks as the same he had formerly beheld on the hanks of the Chebar, when he came to destroy the city , i.e. when, in obedience to Divine command, he stood forth to announce the destruction of Jerusalem. Ewald and Smend follow the Vulgate. quando venit ut disperderet , in substituting "he," Jehovah, for "I," Ezekiel; but the change is unnecessary, as the prophet's language is perfectly intelligible and quite correct, since "the prophet... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:3

God the same in judgment and in mercy. The remarkable point of this verse lies in the fact that Ezekiel could detect no change in the manifestation of the Divine glory when he compared the new appearance which heralded the great redemption of Israel with the earlier appearance which preceded the denunciation of wrath and doom. God is the same in both cases. I. THE FACT . This has two sides—one relating to the time of judgment, and the other concerned with the period of redemption. ... read more

Ezekiel 43:1-2. Then he brought me to the gate The eastern gate of the court of the priests, which was just before the temple. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel The word behold is an expression of joy and admiration; as if the prophet had said, Behold, a wonderful and joyful sight!

Ezekiel 43:3-5. And it This glory of the God of Israel; was according to the vision, &c., when I came to destroy the city That is, to prophesy that the city would be destroyed. The prophets are often said to do those things which they foretel shall be done. And I fell upon my face In humble and reverent adoration of the divine majesty, or overwhelmed, as it were, and not able to bear the lustre of such glory. But the Spirit took him up, when the glory of the Lord was come into the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-12

God returns to the temple (43:1-12)Nineteen years earlier, Ezekiel had seen visions in which God left the temple, went out of Jerusalem to a nearby mountain, then destroyed the city and its inhabitants (see 8:1; 9:1-11; 10:19; 11:22-24). Now, with the new temple established, he sees God returning by the same route, coming to his temple and filling it with glory (43:1-5).God then told Ezekiel that this temple was to be his earthly dwelling place. It was holy, and his people were not to defile it... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 43:2

Ezekiel 43:2. The glory of the God of Israel— The Lord appeared upon his chariot borne by the cherubim, in the same manner as we have seen described in the first, eighth, and ninth chapters. The glory of the Lord, when it forsook the temple, is described as departing from the eastern gate of it; afterwards it is represented as quite forsaking the city, and removing to a mountain on the east side of it; and now it returns by the same way it departed. See chap. Eze 10:11 and Calmet. read more
