The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 11:1-13

The Judgment upon the Rulers v. 1. Moreover, the Spirit lifted me up and brought me unto the East Gate of the Lord's house, which looketh eastward, where the entire vision had been placed, 10:19; and behold at the door of the gate, the large portal of the. Temple, five and twenty men, most likely not identical with those of 8:16; among whom I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, princes of the people, men of influence in guiding the destinies of the people, if... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 11:1-25

4. The Leaders of the People (Ch. 11.)1And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the gate of the house of Jehovah, the east one, which looketh eastward; and behold, in [at] the opening of the gate five-and-twenty men; and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah the 2son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, the rulers of the people. And He said unto me, Son of man, these [are] the men that devise mischief, and 3that counsel evil counsel in this city; That say, [it is] not “near,” “building... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Ezekiel 11:5-25

a New Heart Promised Ezekiel 11:5-25 The Spirit of God led the prophet to the East Gate of the Temple, where the Shekinah had settled, Ezekiel 10:19 . There He uttered the divine verdict on the priesthood. They had ridiculed Jeremiah’s letter to the captives, among whom Ezekiel lived, Jeremiah 29:5 ; and had made merry at his comparison between the city and a caldron, Jeremiah 1:13 . It was to these scornful men that Ezekiel uttered the scathing denunciations of Ezekiel 11:7-18 . The sudden... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 11:1-25

The prophet was now lifted by the Spirit, and brought to the east gate, that is, to the place whither the glory of God had departed. There he saw a conclave of five and twenty men presided over by princes of the people, who were devising iniquity, that is, plotting against the king of Babylon. They declared that they were safe in their city. Instructed of the Spirit, Ezekiel uttered a denunciation of them, and declared God's vengeance against them. Taking up their figure of the cauldron and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:6-8

“You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain. Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, ‘Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the flesh, and this city is the cauldron, but you will be brought forth out of the midst of it. You have feared the sword and I will bring the sword on you, says the Lord Yahweh’.” The reason for God’s unrelenting judgment was made clear. Murder had been, and still was, rife in the city, even judicial murder.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:1-13

Ezekiel 11. The Departure of Yahweh. Ezekiel 11:1-1 Chronicles : . Another Guilty Group.— The doom has been executed with grim thoroughness, the guilty are all slain ( Ezekiel 11:9); it is therefore surprising to come here upon another guilty group. Clearly this passage presupposes a slightly different time, but it admirably serves to strengthen the reasons for Yahweh’ s departure from the city. Besides the idolatry already described ( Ezekiel 11:8), another type of guilt is illustrated by... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 11:7

Therefore; your murders are the cause of my severity, and such sins first or last are surely punished. Your slain: see Ezekiel 11:6. Or, your slain, because when they might and would have saved their life by a seasonable submission, you persuaded them to an obstinate opposition against the Chaldeans to their destruction. Whom ye have laid, or placed (as the word bears); it is not unlike that they who persuaded all to stay did provide, or at least help, as many as did stay, to habitations, and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 11:8

Sinfully, and forgetting God, you would have escaped the sword of the Babylonians, and attempted it by an idolatrous compliance: for this very cause will I send that sword upon you, and it shall slay your wives, children, and fellow citizens. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 11:1-13

(4.) THE CALAMITY THREATENED TO JERUSALEM (Chap. Ezekiel 11:1-13)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—The movements of the Glory of the Lord are intermitted for a time. During that interval a new condition is entered into by Ezekiel. Hitherto, notwithstanding the unfolding of so many abominations before his eyes, and by which his heart must have been greatly distressed, his lips have been sealed in regard to any denunciation of them. Now, when the cherubic throne is hovering over the east gate, he is led to that... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:1-25

Let's turn now in our Bibles to Ezekiel, chapter 11.Now Ezekiel is in Babylon during the time of these prophecies, but the Spirit of God transports him back to Jerusalem. And there he sees things that are transpiring in Jerusalem.Now as a background, there are some Jewish zealots who are still in Jerusalem who have rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar and they are thinking that they are going to be successful in their rebellion. There are false prophets in Jerusalem that are encouraging the people... read more
