G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 40:1-49

This final section must be studied in relation to all that has immediately preceded it, wherein the spiritual restoration and cleansing of the people had been foretold. The picture of the restored order of worship results therefrom. It is a little difficult to distinguish between the material and the spiritual in Ezekiel's description in this last part. It is clear that the new condition will be characterized by such fellowship with the eternal and spiritual orders as to be completely under... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:1-49

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 40:5-49

The Measuring of the Temple (Ezekiel 40:5 to Ezekiel 42:20 ). There follows now the measuring in detail of the temple and the temple area, and we may ask what is the purpose of these detailed measurements? In actual fact they were very important for they confirmed the reality of the invisible temple and its purpose. While a visionary temple, it was nevertheless firmly grounded in reality. The measuring made clear to the people a number of facts which they needed to learn. Firstly it stressed... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:20-27

‘And the gate of the outer court whose prospect is towards the north, he measured its length and breadth. And its side rooms were three on this side and three on that side. And its posts and its colonnades were of the same measurements as the first gate. Its length was fifty cubits and its breadth twenty five cubits. And its windows and colonnades, and its palm trees were of the same measurements as the gate whose prospect is towards the east. And they went up to it by seven steps. And its... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 40:17-27

Ezekiel 40:17-Daniel : . Through this he came into the great outer court, round which ran a pavement, with thirty chambers fronting on the pavement— probably for the use of the people in their celebration of the festal meals. On the northern and southern sides of the court there were gateways and guard-rooms similar to those on the east side. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 40:1-49

THE IDEAL TEMPLE OF THE FUTURE (Chap. 40)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 40:1. “In the five and twentieth year.” The fiftieth year from the 18th of Josiah, the year of his memorable passover (2 Kings 22:12). The jubilee year began with the month of Tisri, on the tenth day of which was the day of atonement. God allowed the prophet to see the Temple and the future freedom of Israel on the day of jubilee because then servants became free, and on the day of atonement because then the sins of Israel are... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:1-49

We want to get into the study of Ezekiel tonight, and right off the top I would like to confess to you that of all of the Bible and the passages in the Bible, I understand this the least. I do not pretend to have a full and complete understanding of Ezekiel chapters 40 through 48. In fact, I have greater difficulty with these passages than I do any other section of the Bible. And because I do lack personally in an understanding of this section, I do find it extremely difficult to minister from... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 40:1-49

Ezekiel 40:1 . In the five and twentieth year of our captivity. When the pious jews were dispirited, the Lord revived them with the hopes of a better temple than that which Solomon had built. This which Ezekiel now saw, in the visions of God, was of larger dimensions than the whole of old Jerusalem, and the city which he saw was larger than the whole land of Canaan. Consequently, it must be understood of the New Jerusalem, mentioned in the Revelation, a spiritual city and temple, which... read more
