エゼキエル書 3:12 JCB

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 3:12

‘AD MAJOREM GLORIAM DEI’‘I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the Lord!’ Ezekiel 3:12 I. How opportune this was!—The prophet was to be sent on an unwelcome errand. His message had already been the cause of intense bitterness within his vitals ( Ezekiel 3:3); and it was to be delivered to the house of Israel, who were of a hard forehead and of a stiff head. What his reception would be, it was impossible to forecast. Nevertheless he had to go, for the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:12-13

The Spirit Carries Him Away (Ezekiel 3:12-15 ). ‘Then the Spirit lifted me up and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion. “Blessed be the glory of Yahweh from his place.” And I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheel beside them, and the noise of a great commotion.’ At this point the Spirit lifted Ezekiel up and took him away, and as he was being taken away he heard behind him ‘the voice of a great commotion’. (The... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 3:1-15

Ezekiel 2:8 to Ezekiel 3:15 . His inspiration is suggestively described by the symbolical swallowing of a book-roll. In Jer. ( Jeremiah 1:9) it is more immediately conceived as due to the touch of the Divine Hand upon the prophet’ s lips: but by the publication of Dt. thirty years before (621 B.C.) the book had begun to hold a place in the religion of Israel which it had never held before (p. 90), and it is significant, not to say ominous, that Ezekiel is represented as owing his message and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 3:12

The spirit; the Spirit of God, which governed the wheels and the living creatures, Ezekiel 8:3. Took me up; either raised him up to nearer approaches, to see and discern, to hear and learn; or carried him to his countrymen, to whom he was to speak. Behind me; his face toward the north while he saw the vision, now that he is carried south to his people the voice is behind him. A voice of a great rushing; an articulate sound, and intelligible, but with great commotion, for it was the voice of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 3:4-15

(3.) RATIFICATIONS OF THE COMMISSION (Chap. Ezekiel 3:4-15)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 3:5-6. “Of a strange speech and of an hard language.” The marginal reading, deep of lip and heavy of tongue, indicates that nothing is referred to here about the characteristics of national languages. It is the obscurity and embarrassment of a foreign speech, to a man who cannot employ them, which are brought to view. Ezekiel is to speak no tongue but that of Israel. His sphere is definite and contracted. He... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 3:1-27

Chapter 3Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that which you find; eat this scroll, and then go and speak to the house of Israel ( Ezekiel 3:1 ).In other words, devour it and then go give it forth. You see, that's really what the ministry is all about. You devour the Word of God and then you give it forth to the people, where it is now a part of you. You read and absorb the Word until it becomes a part of your very life, and then you give it out unto others.So I opened my mouth, he caused... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 3:1-27

Ezekiel 3:3 . The roll was in my mouth as honey. To taste the good word of God is pleasant; but it was bitter in the belly with regard to imprisonment and martyrdom. Revelation 10:9. No matter; the sweetness is ultimately superior to the gall. See Ezekiel 3:25. Ezekiel 3:9 . As an adamant, harder than flint. See on Zechariah 7:12. Ezekiel 3:12 . Blessed be the glory of the Lord from his place. When the ark moved the levites sung, “Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered.” Psalms... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Ezekiel 3:12-13

Ezekiel 3:12-13Then the Spirit took me up.The light of God reconciles the disorders of lifeIn the light of God the presence of moral disorder can be reconciled with His superintending goodness and mercy. And as we are lifted up in spirit into that light we see that there is an explanation of these terrible perplexities, a solution of these baffling problems, an unfolding of an occult and inscrutable plan. Birks, in his Four Prophetic Empires, says, “The storms which rocked the cradle of Rome,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 3:12

Eze 3:12 Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD from his place. Ver. 12. Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me, &c. ] This was for the prophet’s encouragement, and to put mettle into him, as it were, that he might the better bear up amidst all, since he should shortly bear a part in that angelic concert, whose λειτουργια εστι ψαλμωδια , as Theodoret hath it, their daily service is singing of... read more
