Ezequiel 46:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 46:10

And the prince in the midst of them
Christ in the midst of his people while worshipping; this situation of him agrees with all the descriptions of him; as the Angel in the midst of the bush on fire, and not consumed; as among the myrtle trees in the bottom; as walking in the midst of his golden candlesticks; as the tree of life in the midst of the paradise of God; and as King, Priest, and Prophet, in his house; and with all the declarations and promises of his grace; and which is true in fact: and the phrase is expressive of his presence, not merely of his essential, powerful, and providential presence, common to all, but of his gracious presence with his people; he is in the midst of them, to assist them in every service; to protect them from every enemy; to sympathize with them in all their troubles; to deliver out of them; to supply them with all needful grace; and to rule over them, and defend them: and his being here shows that he is to be seen of all, to be come at and enjoyed by them; than which nothing is more desirable, and nothing more encouraging in the worship of God: when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth;
when they go to the throne of grace, for grace and mercy to help in time of need, he goes with them; their access is through him; he introduces their persons, presents their petitions, is their advocate and intercessor for them, and for his sake they are heard and accepted: when they go into the house of God, and to the ordinances of it; when they go in and out to find pasture, he goes in with them, and before them, as the shepherd of the flock, and leads them into green pastures; he teaches them how to go in and out, and to behave themselves in the church of God; he is their guide, by way of instruction, both by his word and by his Spirit: when they go out from public service to their own houses, he goes with them, and by his Spirit brings to their remembrance what they have heard; and when they go forth into the world again, and the business of it, he goes forth with them, to preserve them from the evil of the world, and to keep them from falling; and when they go forth out of the world at death, he is with them through the dark valley; he sees them safe over Jordan's river, and introduces them into the heavenly Canaan, into his kingdom and glory, where they are for ever with him.

Ezequiel 46:10 In-Context

8 Y cuando el príncipe entrare, entrará por el camino del portal de la puerta; y por el mismo camino saldrá

9 Mas cuando el pueblo de la tierra entrare delante del SEÑOR en las fiestas, el que entrare por la puerta del norte, saldrá por la puerta del mediodía; y el que entrare por la puerta del mediodía, saldrá por la puerta del norte; no volverá por la puerta por donde entró, sino que saldrá por la de enfrente de ella

10 Y el príncipe, cuando ellos entraren, él entrará en medio de ellos; y cuando ellos hubieren salido, él saldrá

11 Y en las fiestas y en las solemnidades será el presente un efa de flor de harina con cada becerro, y otro efa con cada carnero; y con los corderos, don de su mano; y un hin de aceite con cada efa

12 Mas cuando el príncipe libremente hiciere holocausto o pacíficos al SEÑOR, le abrirán la puerta que mira al oriente, y hará su holocausto y sus pacíficos, como hace en el día del sábado; después saldrá; y cerrarán la puerta después que saliere
