Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 1:1-28

Ezekiel 1:1 He was instructed, at the very beginning of his work as a Prophet, that the glory of Him who filled the temple was surrounding him in Mesopotamia as it surrounded him when he went up to present the morning or the evening sacrifice at Jerusalem. Such a vision was given him of that glory as he had never beheld in the holy place. He found that the earth that common, profane, Babylonian earth upon which he dwelt was filled with it. F. D. Maurice. One would not object to be an exile... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 1:1-28

THE VISION OF THE GLORY OF GODEzekiel 1:1-28IT might be hazardous to attempt, from the general considerations advanced in the last two chapters, to form a conception of Ezekiel’s state of mind during the first few years of his captivity. If, as we have found reason to believe, he had already come under the influence of Jeremiah, he must have been in some measure prepared for the blow which had descended on him. Torn from the duties of the office which he loved, and driven in upon himself,... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 1:1-28

HIS CALL AND PREPARATION Ezekiel was carried to Babylon with King Jehoiachin, as we gather by comparing Ezekiel 1:1 ; Ezekiel 33:21 ; Ezekiel 40:1 with 2 Kings 24:11-16 ; and lived with the exiles on the river Chebar probably at Tel-abib (Ezekiel 1:1 ; Ezekiel 1:3 ; Ezekiel 3:15 ). Unlike Jeremiah, he was married and had a stated residence (Ezekiel 8:1 ; Ezekiel 24:1 ; Ezekiel 24:18 ). His ministry began in the fifth year of Jehoiachin’s captivity, and seven before the capture of Jerusalem... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 1:1-28

Spiritual Ministries Ezekiel 1:0 If a man were to say this today we should regard him as a fool. It is better that we should acknowledge this frankly. We keep our superstition locked up in the Bible; we boast ourselves of our practical common sense. Were any of our friends to say the heavens were opened and he saw visions of God, we should hide our faces behind our morning journals and wonder what he would say next. We have no objection to men who saw visions two thousand years ago; but today... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 1:6-27

It is worthy the Reader's closest attention, how often during this account the appearance of a man is spoken of. Was it, (for I only ask the question, and do not presume to decide,) to lead the Prophet, and the Church by the Prophet's ministry, to the contemplation of the assumption of our nature into the Godhead? Knowing the infinite importance of the thing itself, that the union of the Godhead with the Manhood was the grand comfort of the Church, by every way and in every representation the... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 1:1-14

1-14 It is a mercy to have the word of God brought to us, and a duty to attend to it diligently, when we are in affliction. The voice of God came in the fulness of light and power, by the Holy Spirit. These visions seem to have been sent to possess the prophet's mind with great and high thoughts of God. To strike terror upon sinners. To speak comfort to those that feared God, and humbled themselves. In ver. Ezekiel 1:4-14, is the first part of the vision, which represents God as attended and... read more

The Four Living Creatures v. 1. Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, either of the Prophet's life or of some period or era which can no longer be definitely determined, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, for, having been led into captivity with Jehoiachin, he settled near this stream, which may have been one of the large irrigation ditches of the Euphrates Valley, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of... read more

The Vision of Glory (Ch. 1)It has been customary, as at Isaiah 6:0 and Jeremiah 1:0, so also here, to read Ezekiel’s call to be a prophet as if it were his ordination or consecration to office. But even in the case of Isaiah 6:0., where the official activity of the prophet does not certainly first begin, but where we find ourselves already in the midst of his... read more
