Ezequiel 43:7, Ezequiel 43:9 NVT

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 43:7

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

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-9

Sunshine after storm. The prophet of Jehovah has inspected all the plans of the second temple. In clearest vision he has seen all its parts arranged. The sacred edifice has grown to perfection before his eyes. Court within court has successively appeared. And now the great question arises, "Will the God of heaven again stoop to dwell there?" In vain will be all this preparation and toil unless Jehovah shall fill the house again with his presence. In vain will be all ceremony and all... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:7

The LXX . and the Vulgate divide the present verse into two parts, and take the first as equivalent to a solemn word of consecration, the former supplying ἑώρακας the latter vidisti , "thou hast seen." The Chaldee Targum inserts, hic est locus , "this is the place," and in so doing is followed by Luther and the Revised Version. Some word, it is obvious, either a "see!" or a "behold!" must be interpolated, in thought at least, unless one adopts the construction of the Authorized... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:7

The Divine indwelling. There peculiar solemnity in this utterance. The prophet has beheld the return of the Lord's glory to his house , and has seen its courts filled with the mystic luster. He stands in the ironer court, the attendant angel being by his side. And the voice of the Lord, mighty as the sound of many waters, addresses him as the son of man, and assures him that the Eternal. Spirit has now takes up a perpetual abode within his consecrated temple, and that those courts... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:7-9

God's unapproachable sovereignty. God now appears among his people as their Divine Sovereign; the house to which he comes in glorious manifestation is "the place of his throne" ( Ezekiel 43:7 ). There he is resolved to rule. Other kings, human potentates, had been reigning there, but their rule should now be over. They had been usurpers in that they had set up their will against his, "their threshold by his thresholds, their post by his posts" ( Ezekiel 43:8 ); but all such pretensions... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 43:7-12

Debate exists as to who the speaker in the seventh verse was, whether Jehovah or the man—some holding with Kliefoth, Ewald, Smend, and Currey, that he was Jehovah; others, with Havernick, Keil, Hengstenberg, and Schroder, that he was "the man;" and still others, with Plumptre, that it cannot be decided which he was. One thing is clear, that if "the man" was the speaker, his words and message were not his own, but Jehovah's. Yet unless the man had been the angel of the Lord—the view of... read more
