Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-27

THE CONSECRATION OF THE TEMPLE. (chap. 43)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 43:2. “Behold, the glory of God.” As the Shechinah-glory was the peculiar distinction of the old Temple, so it was to be in the new in a degree as much more transcendent as the proportions of the new exceeded those of the old. The fact that the Shechinah-glory was not in the second Temple proves that it cannot be that Temple which it meant in the prophecy. “The glory came by the way of the east.” The same way by which Jehovah... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-27

Chapter 43Now in chapter 43:He brought him then to the gate that looks toward the east ( Ezekiel 43:1 ):This is at the bottom of your diagram.And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory ( Ezekiel 43:2 ).Here you have the return of the glory of God to Israel. Now earlier Ezekiel saw in a vision the glory of God leaving the temple, and gradually as it left the temple, it settled at... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 43:1-27

Ezekiel 43:2 . Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. In Ezekiel 10:18, we read that the glory had departed from the ancient temple. Here it returns at the east gate, which was the proper way to the sanctum sanctorum, or Holy of holies. The prophet had seen a similar vision at the river Chebar, as is intimated in the next verse; and now again he beholds the Messiah on the throne of his glory. This it is that gives a plenitude of joy to the church on earth;... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1

Eze 43:1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, [even] the gate that looketh toward the east: Ver. 1. Afterwards he brought me. ] Non nisi dimenso prius montis ambitu. The prophet saw not the glory of God till he had first seen the mount measured, the temple restored. Men must usually wait upon God in the use of means ere they see the King in his glory. Even the gate that looketh toward the east. ] Men must awake out of the west of wickedness, and stand up from dead courses and companies, if... read more

Eze 43:2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice [was] like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. Ver. 2. And behold the glory, ] i.e., The vision of the glory. God, who by the east gate had left the temple and the city, Eze 10:19 doth now the same way return, and filleth the house with the glory of his presence. And his voice was like a noise of many waters. ] Importing the multitude of his attendants, and his... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:1-5

RETURN OF JEHOVAH TO HIS NEW TEMPLE, AND ITS CONSECRATION TO HIS SERVICE. 1-5. The Lord’s glory returns to the temple by the same gate through which the prophet had seen it depart (Ezekiel 43:1-2; Ezekiel 10:19; Ezekiel 11:23), and the sound of the chariot’s movement was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory (Ezekiel 3:23; compare Ezekiel 1:4-13; Ezekiel 1:24; Ezekiel 10:4-5). It was the same vision which Ezekiel had seen at the Chebar (Ezekiel 1:1), and also in... read more
