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 When I next looked, oh! Above the dome over the heads of the cherubim-angels was what looked like a throne, sky-blue, like a sapphire!

2 God said to the man dressed in linen, "Enter the place of the wheels under the cherubim-angels. Fill your hands with burning coals from beneath the cherubim and scatter them over the city."

3 The cherubim were standing on the south side of the Temple when the man entered. A cloud filled the inside courtyard.

4 Then the Glory of God ascended from the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the Temple. The cloud filled the Temple. Court and Temple were both filled with the blazing presence of the Glory of God.

5 And the sound! The wings of the cherubim were audible all the way to the outer court - the sound of the voice was like The Strong God in thunder.
