Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:12-21

12-21 This mission made the holy angels rejoice. All this was to convince Ezekiel, that the God who sent him had power to bear him out in his work. He was overwhelmed with grief for the sins and miseries of his people, and overpowered by the glory of the vision he had seen. And however retirement, meditation, and communion with God may be sweet, the servant of the Lord must prepare to serve his generation. The Lord told the prophet he had appointed him a watchman to the house of Israel. If we... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 3:12-27

Ezekiel as Watchman v. 12. Then the Spirit took me up, so that he would at once be placed into a position where he might perform the work of his calling, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, a tumultuous noise, saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord from His place, going forth, from His throne, into all the world, manifested even in the great disasters which would strike the rebellious Jews. v. 13. I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ezekiel 3:12-27

the Watchman’s Responsibility Ezekiel 3:12-27 He was bitter because of his message, but hot because God’s fire was burning within him. It is a blessed thing for preacher, leader, or Christian worker, when the hand of God is strong upon the soul. But whatever your inward condition, you will never be able to do your best work, unless you can sit where the people sit. In other words you must take their attitude, know by experience their circumstances, and share their lot. We must live very near... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 3:1-27

This roll he was commanded to eat. The writing on the roll was a roll of lamentations and mourning and woe. The prophet declared that having eaten the roll, he found it in his mouth "as honey for sweetness," and by this declaration reveals that whereas the ministry he was about to exercise would be difficult, yet he himself was in perfect accord with the purpose of God and found delight in His will. It may be also that he already recognized that beyond the reprobation with which he would have... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:12-13

The Spirit Carries Him Away (Ezekiel 3:12-15 ). ‘Then the Spirit lifted me up and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion. “Blessed be the glory of Yahweh from his place.” And I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheel beside them, and the noise of a great commotion.’ At this point the Spirit lifted Ezekiel up and took him away, and as he was being taken away he heard behind him ‘the voice of a great commotion’. (The... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:1-15

Ezekiel 2:8 to Ezekiel 3:15 . His inspiration is suggestively described by the symbolical swallowing of a book-roll. In Jer. ( Jeremiah 1:9) it is more immediately conceived as due to the touch of the Divine Hand upon the prophet’ s lips: but by the publication of Dt. thirty years before (621 B.C.) the book had begun to hold a place in the religion of Israel which it had never held before (p. 90), and it is significant, not to say ominous, that Ezekiel is represented as owing his message and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 3:13

I heard, added to connect the verses and to make the reading full, hath I think somewhat perplexed the words, and occasioned inquiry after two different sounds or voices; whereas if we read them as in the Hebrew and as the Latin, And the noise was of the wings, & c., so the 13th verse will explain the 12th, and tell you what was that great rushing which Ezekiel heard behind him. Touched one another: see Ezekiel 1:9. Over against them: see Ezekiel 1:19,Ezekiel 1:20. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 3:4-15

(3.) RATIFICATIONS OF THE COMMISSION (Chap. Ezekiel 3:4-15)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 3:5-6. “Of a strange speech and of an hard language.” The marginal reading, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, indicates that nothing is referred to here about the characteristics of national languages. It is the obscurity and embarrassment of a foreign speech, to a man who cannot employ them, which are brought to view. Ezekiel is to speak no tongue but that of Israel. His sphere is definite and contracted. He... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:1-27

Chapter 3Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that which you find; eat this scroll, and then go and speak to the house of Israel ( Ezekiel 3:1 ).In other words, devour it and then go give it forth. You see, that's really what the ministry is all about. You devour the Word of God and then you give it forth to the people, where it is now a part of you. You read and absorb the Word until it becomes a part of your very life, and then you give it out unto others.So I opened my mouth, he caused... read more
