Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 43:3

This vision reminded Ezekiel of the vision of God that he had seen by the river Chebar (Ezekiel 1:3), when he saw God coming to judge Jerusalem (cf. Ezekiel 1:4-28; Ezekiel 9:1; Ezekiel 9:5; Ezekiel 32:18). He responded by prostrating himself before the Lord again (cf. Ezekiel 1:28; Ezekiel 3:23).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 43:4-5

Yahweh’s glory entered the temple through the east gate, the same gate through which Ezekiel had formerly seen it leave the city.

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:1-27

§ 2. The Ordinances of the New Israel (Ezekiel 40-48)This concluding section of the book is dated in the twenty-fifth year of Ezekiel's captivity, i.e. the fourteenth year after the fall of Jerusalem (572 b.c.). It is therefore thirteen years later than the previous section (Ezekiel 33-39), and, with the exception of Ezekiel 29:17-21, forms the latest part of the book. It is in the form of a vision, which is the counterpart of that in Ezekiel 8-11. There God forsook the old Temple which had... read more

(3) When I came to destroy the city.—That is, to announce its destruction. (Comp. Ezekiel 32:18; Genesis 49:7; Isaiah 6:10; Jeremiah 1:10.)Like the vision that I saw.—Comp.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 43:5
