에스겔 3:11-12 KRV

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 3:10-11

The Lord Yahweh instructed Ezekiel further to take to heart all that He would tell him and to listen closely to Him. He was to go to the Jewish exiles and relay God’s messages whether they paid attention or not.God’s word must become a part of the messenger before he or she can go and speak to others about it (cf. Ezekiel 3:1; Ezra 7:10)."The most difficult task of a prophet is to change people’s minds. This means pulling up the weeds of false theology and planting the good seed of the Word of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 3:12-13

The Lord’s Spirit next lifted Ezekiel up and he heard a loud rumbling sound behind him. The sound was the sound of voices that blessed God for His glory (cf. Revelation 4-5). He also heard the sound of the cherubims’ wings and the sound of the wheels rumbling. He was having another vision. [Note: See Edward J. Young, My Servants, the Prophets, pp. 182-87.] "This was no psychic levitation, but a subjective experience of feeling airborne . . ." [Note: Taylor, p. 66.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 3:12-15

4. The conclusion of the vision 3:12-15"Ezekiel’s vision of God’s glory had provided the needed perspective for his task (Ezekiel 1:4 to Ezekiel 2:7). The message he was to deliver was provided by God (Ezekiel 2:8 to Ezekiel 3:11). Then he needed motivation to direct him to the task. That motivation was provided by the ’hand of the LORD’ (cf. Ezekiel 1:3). He was first guided by the Spirit to his place of ministry (Ezekiel 3:12-15); he was then formally appointed as God’s watchman to Israel... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:1-27

The Restoration of the Temple WorshipThis chapter describes God’s return to the Temple (Ezekiel 43:1-12), and His directions as to the construction (Ezekiel 43:13-17), and dedication (Ezekiel 43:18-26) of the altar of burnt offering. When these directions were carried out God’s sacrificial intercourse with Israel would be resumed (Ezekiel 43:27). The outer eastern gateway, by which God’s glory returned, was to be permanently shut (Ezekiel 44:1-8).(a) God’s Return to the Temple (Ezekiel... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 3:11

(11) Get thee to them of the captivity.—Ezekiel’s mission is now made more definite. In Ezekiel 3:10 he has been told in plain terms what had already been symbolically conveyed under the figure of the roll, and now he is further informed that his immediate mission to the house of Israel is limited to that part of it which, like himself, was already in captivity. At this time, and for several years to come, this was a comparatively small part of the whole nation; but before Ezekiel’s... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 3:12

(12) Then the spirit took me up.—This also is to be understood as done in vision, as in Ezekiel 8:3; Ezekiel 11:1; Ezekiel 11:24. (Comp. Acts 8:39.) In the last case the “taking up” is expressly said to have been in vision. This closes one act, so to speak, of the prophet’s consecration, and now the vision which he has been seeing all along leaves him for a time. He hears the great voice of ascription of praise, without definite mention of its source, but doubtless, as in Isaiah 6:0 and... read more

The Assimilation of Doctrine Ezekiel 3:1 I. The mere swallowing of food is not enough unless it be assimilated and digested; yet it is a necessary condition of digestion. So with our beliefs; we swallow them wholesale by an act of extrinsic faith based on the word of others; and such faith is like the prop that supports a plant till it strikes root downwards and becomes self-supporting. They are not ours fully save in the measure that we have worked them into the fabric of our life and... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:1-27

EZEKIEL’S PROPHETIC COMMISSIONEzekiel 2:1-10; Ezekiel 3:1-27THE call of a prophet and the vision of God which sometimes accompanied it are the two sides of one complex experience. The man who has truly seen God necessarily has a message to men. Not only are his spiritual perceptions quickened and all the powers of his being stirred to the highest activity, but there is laid on his conscience the burden of a sacred duty and a lifelong vocation to the service of God and man. The true prophet... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 3:1-14

Ezekiel 2:9-10 ; Ezekiel 3:1-14 . Compare the roll here with Zechariah 5:1-4 ; with the one of Revelation 5:1-14 , which the Lamb receives and opens, and the little roll in Revelation 10:9-10 . These rolls have the same meaning, namely, the Word itself, the message of tribulation and judgment, which is written therein. The Word must be received and eaten, that is the spiritual lesson. Ezekiel obeyed. It was self surrender and though the message was a hard message, yet it was sweet unto him.... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ezekiel 3:12

3:12 Then the spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying], {d} Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD from his place.(d) By which he signifies that God’s glory would not be diminished, although he departed out of his temple, for this declared that the city and temple would be destroyed. read more
