Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 43:1-27

CHAPTER 431And he led me to the gate, the gate that looks toward the east: 2And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the east, and its [His] voice 3was as the voice of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory. And as the appearance [was] the appearance which I saw, as the appearance which I saw when I came to destroy the city, and [there were] sights like the appearance which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. 4And the glory of Jehovah came to the house by... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 43:1-27

The prophet's next vision was of Jehovah's return to the Temple. Again he beheld a vision and heard a voice. The visions which he had seen by the river Chebar appeared again. The same glory on which he had gazed when he came to destroy the city, that is, to utter his predictions concerning its destruction, appeared in this great hour of restoration, when Jehovah, so long exiled from His Temple, returned to it. The voice of Jehovah was as the sound of many waters, but in speaking to Ezekiel it... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:1-27

The New Temple (Ezekiel 40:1 to Ezekiel 48:35 ). The book of Ezekiel began with a vision of the glory of God and the coming of the heavenly chariot throne of God in order to speak directly to His people through Ezekiel (chapter 1). He then recorded the departure of God's glory from Jerusalem and the Temple because of the sins of Israel (chapters 8 - 11). This was followed by the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. Now it ends with another vision, the return of God's glory to the land... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:7-8

‘And he said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their whoredom and by the carcasses of their kings in their high places, in the setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door post beside my door post, and there was but the wall between me and them. And they defiled my... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 43:1-9

Ezekiel 43:1-1 Samuel : . The description of the Temple is fittingly followed by an account of Yahweh’ s solemn entry into it— a passage which forms the real climax of the last section of the book, and is the counterpart to His equally solemn departure described in Ezekiel 10:18 ff. and Ezekiel 11:22 ff. Girt with splendour, He re-enters by the eastern gate through which He had departed, and from the midst of the Temple His voice rings mysteriously forth, declaring that there He will dwell... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 43:7

And he; the glorious God of Israel. The place of my throne: his throne, i.e. of glory and majesty, is in heaven, but the throne of his grace is in his temple; in the dispensations of grace, God manifests himself a King. The place of the soles of my feet: after the manner of man God speaks, and expresseth his abode and rest, where it is in his temple, as type, in his church, as the antitype. I will dwell; not only shall my ordinances be there administered, but I myself will dwell there. For... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-27

THE CONSECRATION OF THE TEMPLE. (chap. 43)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Ezekiel 43:2. “Behold, the glory of God.” As the Shechinah-glory was the peculiar distinction of the old Temple, so it was to be in the new in a degree as much more transcendent as the proportions of the new exceeded those of the old. The fact that the Shechinah-glory was not in the second Temple proves that it cannot be that Temple which it meant in the prophecy. “The glory came by the way of the east.” The same way by which Jehovah... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 43:1-27

Chapter 43Now in chapter 43:He brought him then to the gate that looks toward the east ( Ezekiel 43:1 ):This is at the bottom of your diagram.And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory ( Ezekiel 43:2 ).Here you have the return of the glory of God to Israel. Now earlier Ezekiel saw in a vision the glory of God leaving the temple, and gradually as it left the temple, it settled at... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 43:1-27

Ezekiel 43:2 . Behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. In Ezekiel 10:18, we read that the glory had departed from the ancient temple. Here it returns at the east gate, which was the proper way to the sanctum sanctorum, or Holy of holies. The prophet had seen a similar vision at the river Chebar, as is intimated in the next verse; and now again he beholds the Messiah on the throne of his glory. This it is that gives a plenitude of joy to the church on earth;... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 43:7

Eze 43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, [neither] they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places. Ver. 7. The place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, ] i.e., My Church, which is unto me instead of heaven and earth. Behold the place... read more
