Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1-11

Execution of the sinners (9:1-11)God’s punishment of Jerusalem was illustrated by a vision in which God sent his executioners to carry out his work of judgment on the sinful people. First, however, he sent a special servant to put a mark on those who opposed the city’s wickedness, so that they might be preserved through the coming bloodshed (9:1-4). The first place where the judgment fell was the temple, where the nation’s leaders had led the people astray with their wickedness and idolatry.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 9:6

6. come not near any . . . upon whom . . . mark— (Revelation 9:4). It may be objected that Daniel, Jeremiah, and others were carried away, whereas many of the vilest were left in the land. But God does not promise believers exemption from all suffering, but only from what will prove really and lastingly hurtful to them. His sparing the ungodly turns to their destruction and leaves them without excuse [CALVIN]. However, the prophecy waits a fuller and final fulfilment, for Revelation 9:4- :, in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 9:5-6

Ezekiel also heard the Lord instruct the six other men to go through the city after the man with the writing case and slay everyone who did not have the special mark on him or her. They were to start from the temple and show no mercy to any individual who lacked the mark. So these six men began their assignment with the elders of Jerusalem who were in front of the temple (cf. Ezekiel 8:11). Judgment started with those closest to God, as it typically must (1 Peter 4:17; cf. Matthew 18:6; Mark... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:1-11

The Slaughter of the Idolaters in JerusalemThe voice which has been speaking to Ezekiel now summons six supernatural beings armed with weapons of slaughter. They are attended by a seventh robed like a priest and equipped as a scribe. They come from the north, and take their stand by the brasen altar in the inner court. The ’glory of God’ leaves the living chariot and stands at the threshold of the main Temple building. The man who acts as scribe is instructed to go through the city and set a... read more

Ezekiel 9:1-2 'That which has made me publish this book,' says Bunyan in his preface to The Life and Death of Mr. Badman, 'is for that wickedness like a flood is like to drown our English world; it begins already to be above the tops of the mountains.... Oh that I could mourn for England, and for the sins that are committed therein, even while I see that, without repentance, the men of God's wrath are about to deal with us, each having his slaughtering weapon in his hand.' Ezekiel 9:4 I think... read more

YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATEEzekiel 8:1-18; Ezekiel 9:1-11; Ezekiel 10:1-22; Ezekiel 11:1-25ONE of the most instructive phases of religious belief among the Israelites of the seventh century was the superstitious regard in which the Temple at Jerusalem was held. Its prestige as the metropolitan sanctuary had no doubt steadily increased from the time when it was built. But it was in the crisis of the Assyrian invasion that the popular sentiment in favour of its peculiar sanctity was... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 9:1-11

Ezekiel 9:1-11 . The six men mentioned are angels, into whose hands the city is given. Angels are used in judgments past and future. (See Matthew 13:41 ; Matthew 16:27 ; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-12 .) Angels are likewise prominently mentioned in the book of Revelation. There is a striking correspondency between this chapter and Revelation 7:1-3 . Those who sigh and weep constitute the remnant which have no sympathy with the abominations. They are marked for preservation. Thus a remnant was then... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ezekiel 9:6

9:6 Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the {g} mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the {h} elders who [were] before the house.(g) Thus in all his plagues the Lord preserves his small number, which he marks as in Exodus 12:12, Revelation 7:3 but the chief mark is the spirit of adoption, with which the heart is sealed up to life everlasting.(h) Which was the chief opportunity for all these evils, as in... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1-11

VISIONS OF IDOLATRY It is the general opinion that these chapters introduce a new stage of the prophecies, and that while those of the last lesson comprehended Judah and Israel, these refer more particularly to Jerusalem and the people of Judah under Zedekiah. The fuller story of this period was in Jeremiah. The prophet is seen in his own house by the Chebar, and the elders of Judah are before him for instruction (Ezekiel 8:1 ). “Elders” we understand to mean, some who are in captivity with... read more
