Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 10:18
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
18. The departure of the symbol of God's presence from the temple preparatory to the destruction of the city. Foretold in Deuteronomy 31:17 . Woe be to those from whom God departs ( Deuteronomy 31:17- : )! Compare 1 Samuel 28:15 ; 1 Samuel 28:16 ; 1 Samuel 4:21 : "I-chabod, Thy glory is departed." Successive steps are marked in His departure; so slowly and reluctantly does the merciful God leave His house. First He leaves the sanctuary ( 1 Samuel 4:21- : ); He elevates His throne above the threshold of the house ( Ezekiel 10:1 ); leaving the cherubim He sits on the throne ( Ezekiel 10:1- : ); He and the cherubim, after standing for a time at the door of the east gate (where was the exit to the lower court of the people), leave the house altogether ( Ezekiel 10:18 ; Ezekiel 10:19 ), not to return till Ezekiel 43:2 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-20" class="com-number"
