Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1-11

YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATEEzekiel 8:1-18; Ezekiel 9:1-11; Ezekiel 10:1-22; Ezekiel 11:1-25ONE of the most instructive phases of religious belief among the Israelites of the seventh century was the superstitious regard in which the Temple at Jerusalem was held. Its prestige as the metropolitan sanctuary had no doubt steadily increased from the time when it was built. But it was in the crisis of the Assyrian invasion that the popular sentiment in favour of its peculiar sanctity was... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 9:1-11

Ezekiel 9:1-11 . The six men mentioned are angels, into whose hands the city is given. Angels are used in judgments past and future. (See Matthew 13:41 ; Matthew 16:27 ; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-12 .) Angels are likewise prominently mentioned in the book of Revelation. There is a striking correspondency between this chapter and Revelation 7:1-3 . Those who sigh and weep constitute the remnant which have no sympathy with the abominations. They are marked for preservation. Thus a remnant was then... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ezekiel 9:4

9:4 And the LORD said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that {f} sigh and that cry for all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.(f) He shows what is the manner of God’s children, whom he marks for salvation: that is, to mourn and cry out against the wickedness which they see committed against God’s glory. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:1-11

VISIONS OF IDOLATRY It is the general opinion that these chapters introduce a new stage of the prophecies, and that while those of the last lesson comprehended Judah and Israel, these refer more particularly to Jerusalem and the people of Judah under Zedekiah. The fuller story of this period was in Jeremiah. The prophet is seen in his own house by the Chebar, and the elders of Judah are before him for instruction (Ezekiel 8:1 ). “Elders” we understand to mean, some who are in captivity with... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 9:1-11

Chambers of Imagery Ezekiel 8:0 , Ezekiel 9:0 With the eighth chapter we begin a new series of prophecies occupying eleven or twelve chapters. Before the prophet commences what may be termed his moral ministry he always passes through an experience of ecstasy or rapture, in which he sees manifold and most perplexing visions. We can only guard ourselves from what would amount to a profanation of these visions by reminding ourselves constantly that we really have no power of literally... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 9:3-4

There is somewhat most solemnly affecting in what is here said of the glory of the God of Israel, being gone up. Probably, the expression is in allusion to the withdrawing of the Shechinah, that is, the manifestation of the divine presence, from the mercy seat and, intimating perhaps, that when the Lord retires, judgment follows. Oh! how ought every truly awakened soul, to cry out with David; Lord! take not thine Holy Spirit from me! Psalms 51:11 . Reader! observe what is here said of the call... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 9:4

Mark Thau. Thau, or Tau, is the last letter in the Hebrew alphabet, and signifies a sign or a mark: which is the reason why some translators render this place set a mark, or mark a mark, without specifying what this mark was. But St. Jerome, and other interpreters, conclude it was the form of the letter thau, which, in the ancient Hebrew character, was the form of a cross. (Challoner) --- Of this many inscriptions still extant bear witness. (Montfaucon.) --- Some Rabbins allow that the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 9:1-4

1-4 It is a great comfort to believers, that in the midst of destroyers and destructions, there is a Mediator, a great High Priest, who has an interest in heaven, and in whom saints on earth have an interest. The representation of the Divine glory from above the ark, removed to the threshold, denoted that the Lord was about to leave his mercy-seat, and to pronounce judgment on the people. The distinguishing character of this remnant that is to be saved, is such as sigh and cry to God in prayer,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 9:1-11

The Lord's Judgment upon the Guilty. The wickedness of the people described in chapter 8 is now followed by its proper punishment at the hand of the Lord in full agreement with the certain fulfillment of all His threats upon the wicked. v. 1. He cried also in mine ears, with a loud voice, the Lord thus emphasizing the importance of His command, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city, the heavenly watchmen, the angels through whom the Lord intended to carry out His punishment, to... read more

2. The Judgment on the Guilty (Ch. 9)1And He cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Near are the visitations of the city, and every one [has] his weapon of destruction in his hand. 2And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which looketh toward the north, and every one his weapon for breaking in pieces in his hand; and a man in their midst, clothed in linen, and an inkhorn on his loins: and they came and stood beside the brazen altar. 3And the glory of the God of Israel... read more
