The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 1:15-28

The Four-Faced Wheels and the Four Creatures. v. 15. Now, as I beheld the living creatures, which were associated with the menacing cloud and must therefore be thought of as being elevated above tire earth, behold one wheel upon the earth, that is, a unit of four wheels in one, by the living creatures, with his four faces, toward their four fronts. v. 16. The appearance of the wheels and their work, their make-up. their workmanship and shape, was like unto the color of a beryl, of the... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 1:1-28

A. FIRST PRINCIPAL PART.—Ezekiel 1:24THE PROPHECY OF JUDGMENT_________I. THE DIVINE MISSION OF EZEKIEL.—Ezekiel 1:1 to Ezekiel 3:11 1. The Vision of Glory (Ch. 1)It has been customary, as at Isaiah 6:0 and Jeremiah 1:0, so also here, to read Ezekiel’s call to be a prophet as if it were his ordination or consecration to office. But even in the case of Isaiah 6:0., where the official activity of the prophet does not certainly first begin, but where we find ourselves already in the midst of his... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 1:1-28

The Book opens with the account of the prophet's preparation, and falls into two sections, the first describing the visions he saw, and the second the voice he heard. Verses Eze 1:2-3 in this chapter, which are really parenthetical, may be treated as a title page. This gives the date, states that the word came expressly to him, and indicates the place in which he saw the visions and heard the voice. The visions were inclusively visions of God. They proceeded in four manifestations. The first... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 1:24-25

LISTENING TO GOD IN THE SILENCE‘They let down their wings. And there was a voice from the firmament.’ Ezekiel 1:24-Lamentations : I. Even the rustle of the wings of the cherubim must be silent when God speaks to us.—To listen to Him the sounds of heaven as well as those of earth need to be hushed. We fail to hear His message because of our multifarious attention to other things. The movements of the ministering angels may be sweetest music, but infinitely more glorious is the speech of our... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 1:24

‘And when they went I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty (El Shaddai), a noise of tumult like the noise of a host. When they stood they let down their wings.’ As the chariot moved onwards Ezekiel heard the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they propelled it forwards. It was a powerful sound, like the sound of great waters, of a mountain torrent, or like the mighty breakers of the sea (compare Psalms 93:4. See also... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 1:1-28

Ezekiel 1-3. Ezekiel Enters upon his Ministry. Ezekiel 1:1-Hosea : . Ezekiel’ s Vision. Ezekiel 1:1-Leviticus : . Like the prophets generally, Ezekiel enters upon his ministry only after he has had a vision of God and a call from Him. The book, therefore, appropriately opens with a description of these experiences. They took place “ in the thirtieth year”— a difficult phrase: perhaps the thirtieth year of the prophet’ s life— in any case in 592 B.C., the fifth year after Jehoiachin and the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 1:24

And when they went; so soon and as often as they, i.e. the living creatures, moved, were on their work, executing God’s commands. I heard, and attended to know what it was. The noise of their wings: though some of God’s judgments are executed with silence, and are in the dark, yet here is an alarm, and they may be heard. Like the noise of great waters: when the sea rageth and swells as though it would overwhelm the earth, so when the just and dreadful judgments of God are executed, they... read more

2. THE VIEW GIVEN TO EZEKIEL OF “THE LIKENESS OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD” (Chap. Ezekiel 1:4-28)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 1:4. The storm-cloud. “A whirlwind,” a tempest such as Job perceived (Ezekiel 38:1), or like that which Jonah encountered (Ezekiel 2:10), “came out of the north,” the region from which the Chaldean forces proceeded, and, in general, to the Jews, “the region pregnant with destiny” (Hengst.). “A great cloud, and a fire infolding itself.” Fire in volumes was mixed up with the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 1:24

Ezekiel 1:24 I. Consider the subject of Christian experience. Can the soul when lifted stay above in that serene element into which it is ascended? Plainly enough, it is possible only as we keep good the faith, or when it ebbs, renew it. And precisely here is the difficulty: that the disciple has gravitations in him still, that pull him all the while downwards, and settle him on his feet before he knows it. And then, as soon as he begins to stand, his wings are folded, even as the flying... read more

Shall we turn at this time to the prophecy of Ezekiel.Ezekiel said,It came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month ( Ezekiel 1:1 ),So that would be July the fifth. It would be probably the thirtieth year of Ezekiel's life, when he was thirty years old.as he was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God ( Ezekiel 1:1 ).Ezekiel was taken to Babylon in the second captivity at the time when Jehoiachin... read more
