Ezekiel 10:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 10:1

Then I looked, and, behold
After the vision of the destruction of the greater part of the inhabitants of Jerusalem by the six men with slaughter weapons, and of the preservation of a few by the man clothed with linen; another vision is seen by the prophet, in some things like to that he saw, of which there is an account in the first chapter; though in some circumstances different, and exhibited with a different view; partly to represent the destruction of Jerusalem by fire, and partly the Lord's removal from it, before or at that time: in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim;
the same with the living creatures, ( Ezekiel 1:22 Ezekiel 1:26 ) ; where the firmament or expanse of heaven is said to be over their heads, as here; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:22): there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance
of the likeness of a throne; (See Gill on Ezekiel 1:26).

Ezekiel 10:1 In-Context

1 At that moment I saw a form of a throne in the dome above the heads of the winged creatures. It appeared above them, and it looked like lapis lazuli.
2 He said to the man clothed in linen: Go in between the wheels under the winged creatures. Fill your hands with fiery coals from between the winged creatures, and scatter them over the city. As I watched, he went in.
3 Now the winged creatures were standing to the right of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner courtyard.
4 Then the LORD's glory rose from above the winged creatures and moved toward the temple's threshold. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the courtyard was filled with the brightness of the LORD's glory.
5 The sound of the winged creatures' wings could be heard as far as the outer courtyard. It was like the sound of God Almighty when he speaks.
