Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 40:1-49

We want to get into the study of Ezekiel tonight, and right off the top I would like to confess to you that of all of the Bible and the passages in the Bible, I understand this the least. I do not pretend to have a full and complete understanding of Ezekiel chapters 40 through 48. In fact, I have greater difficulty with these passages than I do any other section of the Bible. And because I do lack personally in an understanding of this section, I do find it extremely difficult to minister from... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 40:1-49

Ezekiel 40:1 . In the five and twentieth year of our captivity. When the pious jews were dispirited, the Lord revived them with the hopes of a better temple than that which Solomon had built. This which Ezekiel now saw, in the visions of God, was of larger dimensions than the whole of old Jerusalem, and the city which he saw was larger than the whole land of Canaan. Consequently, it must be understood of the New Jerusalem, mentioned in the Revelation, a spiritual city and temple, which... read more

Ezekiel 40:2-3A measuring reed.The measuring reedIt is a complex and mysterious thing,--this human life which it is appointed us to live.

What accidents,... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Ezekiel 40:4

Ezekiel 40:4To the intent that I might shew them unto thee.A good intentI. The purpose of God to stain the pride of the glory of all flesh. We may gather some instruction upon this from the 4th chapter of Daniel. The testimony that Nebuchadnezzar himself bore at the last, seems to me to be very expressive, and may be, as it were, put into the mouth of everyone that God has humbled. It is truth that we all do need humbling by the power of God. Happy man you will be if you are brought to nothing.... read more
