Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-7

To inspire us with a holy awe and dread of God, and to fill us with his fear, we may observe, in this part of the vision which the prophet had, I. The glorious appearance of his majesty. Something of the invisible world is here in the visible, some faint representations of its brightness and beauty, some shadows, but such as are no more to be compared with the truth and substance than a picture with the life; yet here is enough to oblige us all to the utmost reverence in our thoughts of God... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:6

And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen ,.... After the orders were given by him that was upon the throne to the man thus described: saying, take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim ; as in Ezekiel 10:2 ; then he went in ; immediately, into the place where the wheels and cherubim were; even under the firmament of heaven, and the throne that was in it: and stood beside the wheels , or "wheel"; to see what it was, as Kimchi... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 10:6

Verse 6 Here the Prophet teaches the end of the vision. The Jews thought that they should always be safe and secure under God’s presence; they thought that the sacred fire on the altar availed for the expiation of all wickedness. But God showed that he so resided in the temple that he clothed himself with wrath against them, and that the cherubim were keepers of his arms by which they were at length to be destroyed. We see, therefore, that this false and perverse glowing by which the Jews were... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-7

The vision of judgment by fire. "Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim," etc. The vision recorded in this chapter is substantially a repetition of that which is described in the first chapter, as the prophet himself intimates ( Ezekiel 10:20 , Ezekiel 10:22 ). The only differences of any importance are that the prophet was not in the same place when he received this vision as when he received its counterpart, and that the symbolical... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-22

The machinery of God's providence. A man must be embodied ignorance who should suppose that all the activities of God's government come within the range of his vision. Our knowledge is not the measure of existence. "There are more things in heaven and earth Than are dreamt of in our philosophy." What we know is an infinitesimal fraction of what we do not know. Hence every revelation of God's administrative rule should be welcomed with eager delight. I. GOD 'S ESSENTIAL ... read more

; and Ezekiel 11:22 , Ezekiel 11:23 The withdrawal of the presence of God from a guilty people. "Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and stood over tile threshold of the house," etc. These verses, which are all essentially related to one subject, suggest the following observations. I. THAT GOD NEVER WITHDRAWS HIS GRACIOUS PRESENCE FROM A PERSON OR A NATION UNTIL THEY HAVE QUITE FORSAKEN HIM . The chosen people had despised his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 10:5-6

And the sound of the cherubim. The use of God Almighty ( El Shaddai; comp. Exodus 6:3 ), the name of God as ruling over nature, while Jehovah expressed his covenant relationship to Israel, is, it may be noted, characteristic of the early stage of the religion of Israel ( Genesis 17:1 ; Genesis 28:3 ; Genesis 43:14 ; Genesis 48:3 ). Shaddai alone appears eighty-one times in the Book of Job. Psalms 29:1-11 . explains the voice of El Shaddai (though there it is "the voice of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 10:4-7

Ezekiel 10:4-7. Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub In token of his departure from the temple. The words may be better rendered, For the glory of the Lord had gone up, &c. For the prophet repeats here what he had related before, Ezekiel 9:3. And the house was filled with the cloud The account here given must strike every reader as to its similarity with the description given of the Shechinah in the books of Moses and the first book of Kings. A bright cloud was the... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 10:1-22

God’s glory departs from the temple (10:1-22)In the present series of visions the fiery chariot-throne of God was in the court of the temple (see 8:3-4). The glory of God (that is, the symbolic form of God over the throne) had risen from the throne and come to rest on the threshold of the temple. From there God had directed his agents in the execution of the citizens of Jerusalem (see 9:3). From this same position on the temple threshold, God now gave further commands to the man who had... read more
