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 In my vision I saw what appeared to be a throne of blue lapis lazuli above the crystal surface over the heads of the cherubim.

2 Then the LORD spoke to the man in linen clothing and said, “Go between the whirling wheels beneath the cherubim, and take a handful of burning coals and scatter them over the city.” He did this as I watched.

3 The cherubim were standing at the south end of the Temple when the man went in, and the cloud of glory filled the inner courtyard.

4 Then the glory of the LORD rose up from above the cherubim and went over to the entrance of the Temple. The Temple was filled with this cloud of glory, and the courtyard glowed brightly with the glory of the LORD .

5 The moving wings of the cherubim sounded like the voice of God Almighty and could be heard even in the outer courtyard.
