Outline of Ezekiel 10

A vision of the burning of the city. (Verse 1-7.)

The Divine glory departing from the temple. (Verse 8-22.)

Commentary

Read Ezekiel 10:1-7

Verse 1-7 - The fire being taken from between the wheels, under the cherubim, ch. 1:13,. seems to have signified the wrath of God to be executed upon Jerusalem. It intimated that the fire of Divine wrath, which kindles judgment upon a people, is just and holy; and in the great day, the earth, and all the works that are therein, will be burnt up.

Read Ezekiel 10:8-22

Verse 8-22 - Ezekiel sees the working of Divine providence in the government of the lower world, and the affairs of it. When God is leaving a people in displeasure, angels above, and all events below, further his departure. The Spirit of life, the Spirit of God, directs all creatures, in heaven and on earth, so as to make them serve the Divine purpose. God removes by degrees from a provoking people; and, when ready to depart, would return to them, if they were a repenting, praying people. Let this warn sinners to seek the Lord while he may be found, and to call on him while he is near, and cause us all to walk humbly and watchfully with our God.
