Ezechiele 1:28

28 Qual è l’aspetto dell’arco ch’è nella nuvola in un giorno di pioggia, tal era l’aspetto di quello splendore che lo circondava. Era una apparizione dell’immagine della gloria dell’Eterno. A questa vista caddi sulla mia faccia, e udii la voce d’uno che parlava.

Ezechiele 1:28 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 1:28

As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day
of rain
The rainbow, which is no other than the reflection of the rays of the sun in a thin watery cloud on a rainy day: so [was] the appearance of the brightness round about it;
so Christ is represented as clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow about his head, ( Revelation 10:1 ) ; which is a token of the covenant of grace, in which Christ is concerned; it is round about him; he is the head mediator, surety, and messenger of it; all the blessings and promises of it are in him; and he is that itself, which is only a reverberation him, the sun of righteousness; and it is also about the throne on which he sits, which is upheld by mercy and truth; and it is ever in his view and he is always mindful of it: this part of the vision agrees with ( Revelation 4:3 ) ; this [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of God:
of the divine Shechinah; the Word of God that was made flesh and dwelt among us; whose glory is as the only begotten of the Father; and who is the brightness of his Father's glory, and the express image of his person: and when I saw [it], I fell upon my face;
through fear and reverence of the glorious Person that appeared to him; see ( Revelation 1:17 ) ; and I heard a voice of one that spake:
what is delivered in the following chapter; which contains Ezekiel's commission from Christ, who is the person that spake unto him.

Ezechiele 1:28 In-Context

26 E al disopra della distesa che stava sopra le loro teste, c’era come una pietra di zaffiro, che pareva un trono; e su questa specie di trono appariva come la figura d’un uomo, che vi stava assiso sopra, su in alto.

27 Vidi pure come del rame terso, come del fuoco, che lo circondava d’ogn’intorno dalla sembianza dei suoi fianchi in su; e dalla sembianza dei suoi fianchi in giù vidi come del fuoco, come uno splendore tutto attorno a lui.

28 Qual è l’aspetto dell’arco ch’è nella nuvola in un giorno di pioggia, tal era l’aspetto di quello splendore che lo circondava. Era una apparizione dell’immagine della gloria dell’Eterno. A questa vista caddi sulla mia faccia, e udii la voce d’uno che parlava.
