Ezekiel 11:24-25 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 11:22-25

Here is, 1. The departure of God's presence from the city and temple. When the message was committed to the prophet, and he was fully apprized of it, fully instructed how to separate between the precious and the vile, then the cherubim lifted up their wings and the wheels beside them (Ezek. 11:22) as before, Ezek. 10:19. Angels, when they have done their errands in this lower world, are upon the wing to be gone, for they lose no time. We left the glory of the Lord last at the east gate of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:24

Afterwards the spirit took me up ,.... From the east gate of the temple, whither he had brought him; when he had been shown, and everything had been told him, necessary for the reproof of the Jews in Jerusalem, and for the comfort of the captives: and brought me in vision by the spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity ; all this was done in vision; so it appeared to the prophet, under the influence of the divine Spirit of God, as if he was carried to Jerusalem, and there saw... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:25

Then I spake unto them of the captivity ,.... The elders of Judah, and others with them, at Telabib, where the prophet had a house: all the things the Lord had showed me ; all the visions contained in the preceding chapters, from the beginning of the fourth chapter to the end of this: as the portraying Jerusalem on a tile, and lying on his side for a long time, as an emblem of the siege of that city; the barley cakes, denoting a famine; the sharp knife with which he cut off his hair,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:24

Verse 24 The Prophet here confirms what he had said at the beginning, viz., that this vision was divinely presented and was not an empty and deceptive specter. This prophecy was difficult of belief, so that all doubt ought to be removed, lest any one should object that God was not the author of the vision. He says, therefore, that he was raised up by the Spirit of God and brought into Chaldea. We have already asserted, that the Prophet did not change his place, though I am unwilling to contend... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:25

Verse 25 Afterwards he says, that he spoke all those words to the captives, or exiles. This passage seems superfluous. For to what purpose had the Prophet been taught concerning the destruction of the city, the overthrow of the kingdom, and the ruin of the temple, unless to induce the Jews who still remained in the country to desist from their superstition? But we must remember that the Prophet had a hard contest with those exiles among whom he dwelt, as will more clearly appear in the next... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:25

Preaching to the captives. I. THE PREACHER MUST START FROM A REVELATION MADE TO HIMSELF . The prophets were seers. The apostles were eyewitnesses of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. No preacher can go forth with God's Word unless he has first received that Word. For it is not his business to gather congregations merely to hear his "guesses at truth," nor is he called to set before men his most profound speculations, if those speculations are only wrought out... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 11:25

The prophetic office. In these few and simple words we have a declaration of the office and function of the inspired prophet, and in a certain sense of every true religions teacher whom God commissions to be the vehicle and conscious agent in communicating his truth, counsels, admonitions, and encouragements to men. I. RECEPTION . The prophet and every religious teacher must come mediately or immediately into spiritual communication with the Divine Mind. 1 . The Source from... read more

Ezekiel 11:24-25. The spirit took me, and brought me in vision into Chaldea That is, took away from before my eyes the image of Jerusalem and the temple, &c., and presented nothing to my mind but what was the real matter of fact, namely, that I was a captive with many others of my countrymen in the land of Chaldea. So the vision that I had seen went up from me Was at an end. In other words, he recovered from his trance or ecstasy. Then I spake unto them of the captivity He related... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 11:14-25

Hope for the future (11:14-25)Those left in Jerusalem thought they were God’s favoured people. They thought their security was guaranteed because they lived in the city where his temple was situated. They looked upon the exiles as having been cast off by God, forsaken and unclean in a foreign land (14-15). To the contrary, Ezekiel points out that the exiles are God’s favoured people, the remnant whom he has preserved. When they repent of their idolatry and rebellion, he will bring them back to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 11:24

Ezekiel 11:24. So the vision—went up from me— The prophet recovered from his ecstasy, and related all that which we have considered from the beginning of the 8th chapter to this place. REFLECTIONS.—1st, The abominations which were done in the temple we have seen; and as great, it seems, prevailed in the courts of justice as in the worship of the sanctuary. 1. Under the Spirit's conduct the prophet is led to the east gate of the Lord's house, where five and twenty of the princes sat, two of whom... read more
