エゼキエル書 10:21-22 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 10:8-22

We have here a further account of the vision of God's glory which Ezekiel saw, here intended to introduce that direful omen of the departure of that glory from them, which would open the door for ruin to break in. I. Ezekiel sees the glory of God shining in the sanctuary, as he had seen it by the river of Chebar, and gives an account of it, that those who had by their wickedness provoked God to depart from them might know what they had lost and might lament after the Lord, groaning out their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:21

Every one had four faces apiece ,.... Every one of the four living creatures, or cherubim, had four faces; which were the face of a man, of a lion, of an ox, and of an eagle, Ezekiel 1:10 ; and everyone four wings : the Septuagint version reads eight wings; and the Syriac version "six"; so many in all indeed they had; see Gill on Ezekiel 1:23 ; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings ; See Gill on Ezekiel 10:8 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:22

And the likeness of their faces was the same faces ,.... Or their faces were like the same, which I saw by the river of Chebar ; which prove that the living creatures and the cherubim must be the same: their appearance and themselves ; were exactly the same there was no difference in their faces or in their bodies: they went everyone straight forward ; their motion as well as their form were alike; they kept one even course, looking right on, and their eyes right before them. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:21

Verse 21 The Prophet appears to dwell on points by no means doubtful: he has already spoken of the four heads, then why does he repeat it? Because he was dealing with a dull and perverse people: they were also slow in receiving the Prophet’s doctrine: and they added this vice worse than all the rest, namely, a constant and open endeavor to detract from the authority of all the Prophets. For this reason the Prophet says, that there were four heads and four wings to each living creature, lest the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:22

Verse 22 He pursues the same sentiment, that nothing was obscure or perplexed in this vision, since all things were mutually suitable. For the remembrance of the vision which he had received remained in the Prophet’s mind: but now when he is hurried into the temple, he recognizes the same God and the same forms as those to which he had been accustomed. We see then how he meets their perverseness, who had otherwise boasted that he had offered them only his own fictions without any truth in them.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-22

The machinery of God's providence. A man must be embodied ignorance who should suppose that all the activities of God's government come within the range of his vision. Our knowledge is not the measure of existence. "There are more things in heaven and earth Than are dreamt of in our philosophy." What we know is an infinitesimal fraction of what we do not know. Hence every revelation of God's administrative rule should be welcomed with eager delight. I. GOD 'S ESSENTIAL ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 10:22

Heavenly changelessness. There is great resemblance between Ezekiel 1:1-28 . and Ezekiel 10:1-22 . Ezekiel is transported in spirit from the banks of the Babylonian river Chebar to the temple at Jerusalem. Yet the cherubim which he sees in the one place are exactly the same as those he has seen in the other. This fact of identity in great diversity of circumstances strikes the prophet as remarkable, and he chronicles it with emphasis. Earthly scenes change; heavenly facts remain. I.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-22

God’s glory departs from the temple (10:1-22)In the present series of visions the fiery chariot-throne of God was in the court of the temple (see 8:3-4). The glory of God (that is, the symbolic form of God over the throne) had risen from the throne and come to rest on the threshold of the temple. From there God had directed his agents in the execution of the citizens of Jerusalem (see 9:3). From this same position on the temple threshold, God now gave further commands to the man who had... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 10:21

21. The repetition is in order that the people about to live without the temple might have, instead, the knowledge of the temple mysteries, thus preparing them for a future restoration of the covenant. So perverse were they that they would say, "Ezekiel fancies he saw what has no existence." He, therefore, repeats it over and over again. read more
