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

10:1 Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the {a} cherubim there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.(a) Which in Ezekiel 1:5 he called the four beasts. 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 10:1

CONTENTS The Prophet is here introduced into other visions of God. Under the similitude of coals of fire, between the Cherubim, and the form of a man's hand, the Prophet hath his attention greatly excited. read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-4

We are here brought to visions and revelations of God. The Holy Ghost hath not been pleased to give the Church any certain account what is implied in the solemn things here spoken of; therefore humble waitings upon the Lord are more suitable, and becoming, than mere conjectures. One point, indeed, seems abundantly evident; that the man clothed with linen, is the same as is spoken of in the preceding chapter; and there should seem to be but little doubt, that this is the God-man, Christ Jesus.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:1-7

1-7 The fire being taken from between the wheels, under the cherubim, ch. Ezekiel 1:13, seems to have signified the wrath of God to be executed upon Jerusalem. It intimated that the fire of Divine wrath, which kindles judgment upon a people, is just and holy; and in the great day, the earth, and all the works that are therein, will be burnt up. read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 10:1-8

The Burning of the City v. 1. Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament, the vaulted expanse above, that was above the head of the cherubim, the living creatures of the first vision, there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne. In the previous chapter the Lord had left this throne and occupied a position at the threshold of the Holy Place. Here He is again on His throne above the cherubim, as the majestic Sovereign of the universe. ... read more
