Ezekiel 10:18 NIV

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 10:18

Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold of the house ,.... Whither he had removed from the cherub or the cherubim, between the mercy seat, Ezekiel 10:4 ; taking another step towards a general departure from the temple and city, of which this was another signal and warning: and stood over the cherubim : not on the mercy seat from whence he came, for hither he returned not; but over the cherubim or living creatures seen in the vision, which were under the throne in the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:18

Verse 18 Here the Prophet teaches us what is the principal point in the vision, namely, that God had deserted the temple: for we, know with what confidence the Jews boasted that they should be safe continually under the protection of God. In consequence of the promise, that God’s temple should be the place of his rest wherein he would dwell, (Psalms 132:14,) they did not think it possible that God would ever leave them: so they sinned without restraint; and while they drove him far away from... 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

; and Ezekiel 11:22 , Ezekiel 11:23 The withdrawal of the presence of God from a guilty people. "Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and stood over tile threshold of the house," etc. These verses, which are all essentially related to one subject, suggest the following observations. I. THAT GOD NEVER WITHDRAWS HIS GRACIOUS PRESENCE FROM A PERSON OR A NATION UNTIL THEY HAVE QUITE FORSAKEN HIM . The chosen people had despised his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 10:18

Then the glory of the Lord, etc . The chariot throne was, as it were, ready for its kingly Rider. The "glory"-cloud, or Shechinah. takes its place over them, and the departure begins. From that hour the temple was, in Ezekiel's thoughts, to be, till the time of restoration contemplated in ch. 40-48; what Shiloh had been, a God-deserted place. We arc reminded of the voice which Josephus tells us was heard before the final destruction of the second temple, exclaiming, "Let us depart hence," as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 10:18

Glory departed. In Ezekiel 10:4 Ezekiel says that the glory visited the threshold of the house. Now he describes its departure and return to the cherubim. I. THE GLORY OF NEW DIVINE REVELATIONS HAS DEPARTED . The glory that visited the threshold of the temple brought a special symbolical revelation, and when that revelation had been made the glory retreated and left the scene in its normal earthly condition. Revelation has come in epochs separated by periods of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 10:18-19

Ezekiel 10:18-19. Then the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold, &c. The cloud of glory, emblematical of the divine presence, now makes a further remove from the temple: it now quite left the house itself, and settled upon the cherubim, which stood in the court adjoining to it, Ezekiel 10:3. And the cherubims lifted up their wings: the wheels also See Ezekiel 1:19; Ezekiel 1:26. And stood at the door of the east gate This was a still further remove from the temple, (for... read more

Donald C. Fleming

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
