Ezechiele 43:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 43:5

So the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court,
&c.] The prophet was fallen down on his face, upon the sight of the glory of the Lord, and there he lay, until a wind came, as the word signifies; or the Holy Spirit, which is compared to the wind, for its invisible and irresistible power, came and took him up: humble souls are regarded by the Lord; he raises them up, and exalts them, and brings them into nearer and more intimate communion with God; and gives them clearer views still of the glories of Christ's person, grace, and love: and it is the Spirit of God only that does this, and that to priests only, such an one as Ezekiel was; for none but priests went into the inner court: and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house;
the body of it; both the holy and the most holy place, with all its courts and apartments; so the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle when that was set up in the temple of Solomon, when it was built; and the glory of the Lord will fill the church of God, yea, the whole earth, in the latter day, ( Isaiah 6:3 ) , of this Christ's personal appearance in the second temple, which gave it a greater glory than the former, was an emblem and pledge, ( Haggai 2:7 Haggai 2:9 ) , here, it may be observed, no mention is made of a cloud, as at the setting up of the tabernacle, and dedication of the temple; denoting the clear light of the Gospel in those times, and how the glory of the Lord will be seen with open face by all the saints.

Ezechiele 43:5 In-Context

3 E la visione che io vidi era nell’aspetto simigliante alla visione che io vidi, quando venni per distrugger la città; e le sembianze erano le medesime con quelle che io avea vedute presso al fiume Chebar; ed io caddi sopra la mia faccia.

4 E la gloria del Signore entrò nella casa, per la via della porta, che riguardava verso il Levante.

5 E lo Spirito mi elevò, e mi menò nel cortile di dentro; ed ecco, la casa era ripiena della gloria del Signore.

6 Ed io udii uno che parlava a me dalla casa; ed un uomo fu quivi in piè appresso di me.

7 E mi disse: Figliuol d’uomo, ecco il luogo del mio trono, e il luogo delle piante de’ miei piedi, dove io abiterò fra i figliuoli d’Israele in perpetuo; e la casa d’Israele non contaminerà più il mio santo Nome, nè essi nè i lor re, con le lor fornicazioni, e con le carcasse de’ lor re, e co’ loro alti luoghi.
