The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 43:1-12

The Entrance of Jehovah's Glory v. 1. Afterward He brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east, the main entrance of the Temple, v. 2. and, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east, to make the Temple of the New Testament, the glorious structure of His Church, the dwelling of His merciful presence; and His voice was like a noise of many waters, that associated also with other manifestations of the Lord's glory, Ezekiel 1:24; Revelation... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 43:1-27

CHAPTER 431And he led me to the gate, the gate that looks toward the east: 2And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the east, and its [His] voice 3was as the voice of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory. And as the appearance [was] the appearance which I saw, as the appearance which I saw when I came to destroy the city, and [there were] sights like the appearance which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. 4And the glory of Jehovah came to the house by... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 43:1-27

The prophet's next vision was of Jehovah's return to the Temple. Again he beheld a vision and heard a voice. The visions which he had seen by the river Chebar appeared again. The same glory on which he had gazed when he came to destroy the city, that is, to utter his predictions concerning its destruction, appeared in this great hour of restoration, when Jehovah, so long exiled from His Temple, returned to it. The voice of Jehovah was as the sound of many waters, but in speaking to Ezekiel it... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:1-27

The New Temple (Ezekiel 40:1 to Ezekiel 48:35 ). The book of Ezekiel began with a vision of the glory of God and the coming of the heavenly chariot throne of God in order to speak directly to His people through Ezekiel (chapter 1). He then recorded the departure of God's glory from Jerusalem and the Temple because of the sins of Israel (chapters 8 - 11). This was followed by the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. Now it ends with another vision, the return of God's glory to the land... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:11

“And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make the form of the house known to them and its fashion, and its goings out and its comings in, and all its forms and all its ordinances, and all its forms and all its laws, and write it in their sight that they may keep all its forms and all its ordinances, and do them.” If they were expected to build a temple like this, surely this would be the point at which it would have been expressed clearly as it was of the tabernacle (Exodus 25:9;... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:10-12

Ezekiel 43:10-2 Kings : . Ezekiel is then instructed to show his plan of the Temple to the people. The very sight of it is expected to inspire them with shame for their past; while, to preserve them from error in the days to come, further instructions are promised for the conduct of the service. Supreme sanctity is to attach to the entire summit of the Temple hill, no part of it being abandoned to any secular use whatever. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 43:11

They; the house of Israel. Be ashamed; repent, and show it by manifest tokens. Of all: it is not true repentance which is ashamed of some only, but not of all sins. The form, ; the model of the temple. The fashion; the manner of the building, and fitting each part to other. The goings out there of, and the comings in thereof; all the alleys, gates, stairs, &c. The forms, which ought to be observed, saith the French version. Now though this be not in the Hebrew, yet the word may imply as... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-27

THE CONSECRATION OF THE TEMPLE. (chap. 43)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 43:2. “Behold, the glory of God.” As the Shechinah-glory was the peculiar distinction of the old Temple, so it was to be in the new in a degree as much more transcendent as the proportions of the new exceeded those of the old. The fact that the Shechinah-glory was not in the second Temple proves that it cannot be that Temple which it meant in the prophecy. “The glory came by the way of the east.” The same way by which Jehovah... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-27

Chapter 43Now in chapter 43:He brought him then to the gate that looks toward the east ( Ezekiel 43:1 ):This is at the bottom of your diagram.And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory ( Ezekiel 43:2 ).Here you have the return of the glory of God to Israel. Now earlier Ezekiel saw in a vision the glory of God leaving the temple, and gradually as it left the temple, it settled at... read more
