James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-27

THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE These chapters give a picture of the restored temple at Jerusalem during the Millennium, and of the worship of the Messiah when He shall exercise sway from that center to the ends of the earth. Beginning with Ezekiel 40:1-5 , we have an introduction to the subject: (1) the location and the opening vision (the vision is of a city on the south); (2) a man with a measuring rod; (3) a building surrounded by a wall (Ezekiel 40:5 ). In Ezekiel 40:6-16 the measurement of the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 43:1-27

The Altar Measurable and Immeasurable Eze 43:13 There is nothing held to be insignificant in the Book of God that pertains to the divine altar or the holy house. Everything is of consequence; perhaps it would be more than paradoxical to say that everything is of supreme consequence. "The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-6

We have a most interesting account in these few verses. Here is the Lord appearing to the Prophet in a similar glory to what we read of Ezekiel's visions at the first: see Ezekiel 1:26 . Coming from the way of the east, seems to be in allusion to the first rise of all things. Hence Jesus is said to be, the bright and morning star. Revelation 22:16 . And the wise men, who came to Jerusalem to enquire after Christ at his birth, was led by the light of a star from the East. Matthew 2:2 ;... read more

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

Johann Peter Lange

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:4

‘And the glory of Yahweh came into the house by way of the gate whose prospect is towards the east.’ The glory of Yahweh now entered the heavenly temple situated ‘on a very high mountain somewhere in the land’ (Ezekiel 40:2), through the East Gate. It was nineteen years since Ezekiel had seen Yahweh leave the land. Now He had returned (compare Ezekiel 10:4; Ezekiel 44:4; Exodus 40:34-35 1 Kings 8:10-11; Isaiah 6:1-3), but to His own temple, not one built by man. That made Israel’s future for... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:1-9

Ezekiel 43:1-1 Samuel : . The description of the Temple is fittingly followed by an account of Yahweh’ s solemn entry into it— a passage which forms the real climax of the last section of the book, and is the counterpart to His equally solemn departure described in Ezekiel 10:18 ff. and Ezekiel 11:22 ff. Girt with splendour, He re-enters by the eastern gate through which He had departed, and from the midst of the Temple His voice rings mysteriously forth, declaring that there He will dwell... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 43:4

The glory: see Ezekiel 43:3. Came; the sins of impenitent Israel caused the glory of the Lord to go out of his house, but now the repentance of Israel is blessed with the return of this glory. Into the house; the temple where before it dwelt. Whose prospect is toward the east; whose front looks eastward: see Ezekiel 43:2. read more
