Ezekiel 11:24 KJV,NLT

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 Calvin

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

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 11:24-25

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

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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 11:1-25

The Doom of the Leaders of Jerusalem’s wickedness. Comfort for the ExilesThe slaughter in Ezekiel 9 was only the visionary rehearsal of a judgment still in the future. The vision now takes another turn, and shows the wicked inhabitants still alive. Ezekiel is brought to the outer eastern gate of the Temple where he finds a group of the leaders of Jerusalem’s sinful policy, two of whom are mentioned by name (Ezekiel 11:1-2). A proverb by which they express their light-hearted security is turned... read more
