エゼキエル書 43:6-9 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-6

After Ezekiel has patiently surveyed the temple of God, the greatest glory of this earth, he is admitted to a higher form, and honoured with a sight of the glories of the upper world; it is said to him, Come up hither. He has seen the temple, and sees it to be very spacious and splendid; but, till the glory of God comes into it, it is but like the dead bodies he had seen in vision (Ezek. 37:1-28), that had no breath till the Spirit of life entered into them. Here therefore he sees the house... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 43:7-12

God does here, in effect, renew his covenant with his people Israel, upon his retaking possession of the house, and Ezekiel negotiates the matter, as Moses formerly. This would be of great use to the captives at their return both for direction and encouragement; but it looks further, to those that are blessed with the privileges of the gospel-temple, that they may understand how they are before him on their good behaviour. I. God, by the prophet, puts them in mind of their former provocations,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:6

And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house ,.... The holy place, the prophet being in the inward court: this is Jehovah the Father, the God of Israel, whose glory entered into it; who utters his voice out of Zion; who speaks in his church by his word, and the ministers of it; and which is to be heard and regarded, not as the word of man, but as the word of God: and the man stood by me : whom he saw at first with a measuring line in his hand, Ezekiel 40:3 , and with whom he had... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:7

And he said unto me, son of man ,.... A kind, usual, and singular appellation, given to this prophet: these are the words either of the man that stood by him, so the Arabic version; or of Jehovah, speaking out of the house to him: the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet : that is, this house, the church of God, is the place where the throne of the Lord is set; where he rules and reigns; where he sets his feet, and is his resting place; even his, whose throne is the... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:8

In their setting of their threshold by my threshold ,.... The threshold is the way of entrance into the house; when men open any other way of entrance into the house of God than he has directed, it is setting up their threshold by his: the Gospel way of entrance into the church of Christ is Christ himself, and faith in him, and a profession of it, and submission to the ordinance of baptism, John 10:1 , Acts 2:41 but when men make carnal descent, religious education, mere morality and... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:9

Now let them put away their whoredom ,.... Idolatry, superstition, and will worship, with which the corrupt church of Rome abounds; and whatever appearance thereof is in the reformed churches: and the carcasses of their kings far from me ; their idols; See Gill on Ezekiel 43:7 , and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever ; now though the Jews were never guilty of idolatry after their return from the Babylonish captivity, nor even to this day; yet the Lord has departed from... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:7

Son of man, the place of my throne - The throne refers to his majesty; the soles of his feet, to his condescension in dwelling among men. Where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel - The tabernacle and temple were types of the incarnation of Jesus Christ: "Destroy This Temple, and after three days I will raise it up; - but this he spake of the temple of his body;" John 2:19 , John 2:21 . And in That Temple "dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Into this... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:8

In their setting of their threshold - They had even gone so far as to set up their idol altars by those of Jehovah; so that their abominable idols were found in the very house of God! therefore, "he consumed them in his anger." read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:9

Now let them put away their whoredom - Their idolatry. And the carcasses of their kings - It appears that God was displeased with their bringing their kings so near his temple. David was buried in the city of David, which was on Mount Zion, near to the temple; and so were almost all the kings of Judah; but God requires that the place of his temple and its vicinity shall be kept unpolluted; and when they put away all kinds of defilement, then will he dwell among them. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-6

The return of God's glory. The prophet had witnessed in sadness the departure of the glory of the Lord (see Ezekiel 10:18 , Ezekiel 10:19 ; Ezekiel 11:23 ). He has now a happy vision of its return; and of that return he gives a very graphic description. It affected him. With solemn awe ( Ezekiel 43:3 ) as well as with sacred joy. He found himself transported to the place where, as a priest, he had an official right to stand ( Ezekiel 43:5 ), and there he saw the brightness of... read more
