The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:2

Scarcely had the prophet taken up his station at or near the gate when the glory of the God of Israel (see on Ezekiel 1:28 ; Ezekiel 3:23 ) came from the way of the east , as if intending to enter the temple by the very door through which it had previously departed from the temple (comp. Ezekiel, Ezekiel 10:19 ; Ezekiel 11:22 , Ezekiel 11:23 ). The voles which proceeded from the theophany and resembled the noise of many waters , is after the LXX . ( καὶ φωνὴ τῆς... read more

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:4-5

The prophet next narrates that he saw the glory of the Lord entering into and taking possession of the "house," as formerly it had entered into and taken possession of the tabernacle and the temple ( Exodus 40:34 , Exodus 40:35 ; 1 Kings 8:10 , 1 Kings 8:11 ), and that of this he was further assured by experiencing immediately thereafter—not a push from the wind, as Luther and Kliefoth translate, but an impulse from the Spirit (not "a spirit," Ewald, though the Hebrew word wants the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:5

Filled with glory. I. THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE TEMPLE . Ezekiel saw the temple filled with the glory of God. This was only a vision; but it was predicted concerning the rebuilt temple that the glory of the latter house should exceed that of the former ( Haggai 2:9 ). Yet, while young men rejoiced at the sight of the new structure, old men wept as they remembered the greater splendor of Solomon's temple, which Nebuchadnezzar had destroyed ( Ezra 3:12 , Ezra 3:13 ).... read more
