에스겔 3:9-10 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

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 3:9

(9) An adamant harder than flint.—Adamant is the diamond, as it is translated (Jeremiah 17:1). The people were as hard as flint, but as the diamond cuts flint, so Ezekiel’s words should be made by the Divine power to cut through all their resistance. Armed with this strength, he need not fear their obduracy, however great. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 3:1-27

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 3:10

3:10 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to thee {c} receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears.(c) He shows what is meant by the eating of the book, which is that the ministers of God may speak nothing from themselves, but only that which they have received from the Lord. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:1-27

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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 3:1-27

Ezekiel's Commission Ezekiel 2:0 , Ezekiel 3:0 From beginning to end the Book of Ezekiel may be regarded as a series of divine visions, or one vision presented in many varying aspects. The second and third chapters, which give an account of Ezekiel's call to his office, ought to be read through as one chapter. We are to understand that although Ezekiel changed from place to place, yet the vision was substantially the same. The prophet is constantly receiving fresh instructions, but the... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 3:1-14

I beg the Reader to pause again and again, while going through the very solemn service of Ezekiel's ordination. What an idea doth it awaken in the mind of its importance. Though the Lord Jesus himself is the Bishop who layeth on hands: yet no haste is observed. With what earnestness is the Prophet reminded of his charge! Eating and feeling the effects of the roll, plainly set forth, how God's word is to be received, as well by ministers as people. The preacher that doth not first preach his... read more
