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

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 10:1-22

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. He'll jist tak' the body aff o' me a'thegither, and syne I'll see, no wi' een like yours, but wi' my haill speeritual body. Ye min' that verse i' the Prophecees o' Ezakiel: I... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-22

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 10:1-22

Ezekiel 10:1-22 . Once more the glory vision appears. The linen clothed man who had done the marking in the previous chapter is now executing judgment. Who is He? Evidently more than an angel. That he is a supernatural being is clear. He held the place of pre-eminence among the other angels (Ezekiel 9:2-4 ). This angel is the Angel of the Lord, the same who appeared to the patriarchs, to Moses, Joshua, Gideon, Manoah, and to others. It is the Son of God in the garb of an angel. In the same form... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-22

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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 10:1-22

Concerning the Cherubims Ezekiel 10:0 This chapter is a varied representation of the vision disclosed in the first chapter; including, indeed, two new points, but still practically being the first vision as contemplated from another point of view. The two chapters may be regarded as in a sense binocular: looking through both of them we seem to see the real vision, so far as human sense can apprehend it. What is this variety of the same vision but a repetition of what occurs constantly in human... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 10:16-22

The glory of the Lord going up, and departing, which is twice spoken of in this short chapter, evidently testifies the importance of the thing. But, except we interpret it with an eye to the withdrawings of the Lord, in seasons of ordinances, and the like, there is no certainty what is implied by it. Very awful it is, when at any time the Lord hides his face from his people; but his withdrawings are still more to be feared. Precious Lord! hear and answer the cry of every exercised soul under... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 10:22

REFLECTIONS Lord! I pray thee to give both Writer and Reader, a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ Jesus: without which this scripture, yea all the scriptures of our God, will be as a sealed book, and a vision not opened. And if, Almighty Lord, there be anything leading to Jesus in this divine chapter, oh, do thou lead my soul also to the knowledge of him, that knowing him, I may be growing up to the knowledge and love of him forever. And oh, precious Lord Jesus! as in... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:8-22

8-22 Ezekiel sees the working of Divine providence in the government of the lower world, and the affairs of it. When God is leaving a people in displeasure, angels above, and all events below, further his departure. The Spirit of life, the Spirit of God, directs all creatures, in heaven and on earth, so as to make them serve the Divine purpose. God removes by degrees from a provoking people; and, when ready to depart, would return to them, if they were a repenting, praying people. Let this warn... read more
