Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 8:1-18

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

Geneva Study Bible - Ezekiel 8:3

8:3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the {d} visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner {e} gate that looketh toward the north; where [was] the seat of the image of {f} jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.(d) Meaning that he was thus carried in spirit, and not in body.(e) Which was the porch or the court where the people assembled.(f) So called, because it provoked... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 8:1-18

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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 8:1-18

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 8:3-4

There is somewhat particularly striking in this act of the Lord. The putting forth the hand, implies the Spirit of the Lord being upon him, or rather in him: and the lifting him up between the earth and the heaven, to bring him in visions of God to Jerusalem, was meant most probably to show, that the Prophet's mind was now wholly under divine teaching; so that in the visions of God which followed, there could be no doubt of their reality. That it was the same glory which he had before seen,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 8:1-6

1-6 The glorious personage Ezekiel beheld in vision, seemed to take hold upon him, and he was conveyed in spirit to Jerusalem. There, in the inner court of the temple, was prepared a place for some base idol. The whole was presented in vision to the prophet. If it should please God to give any man a clear view of his glory and majesty, and of all the abominations committing in any one city, he would then admit the justice of the severest punishments God should inflict thereon. read more

The Time and Place of the Vision v. 1. And it came to pass in the sixth year, the year after the captivity of King Jehoiachin, in the sixth month, In the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, where Ezekiel had shut himself up in agreement with the Lord's command, 3:24, and the elders of Judah sat before me, those of the captivity having come to consult with him on some question, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me, transmitting an unusual measure of power to him for... read more
