Then I looked, &c. Most of this chapter has been explained in the notes on chap. 1. In the firmament, &c. See Ezekiel 1:26. The repetition of the vision here signified that the heavy and terrible judgments of God were drawing nearer and nearer. He That sat on the throne; spake unto the man clothed in linen To the angel, as before, Ezekiel 9:2; and said, Go in between the wheels, under the cherub Or, between the cherubim, according to the explication given Ezekiel 10:7. And fill thy hand with coals of fire Which sparkled and ran up and down between the living creatures: see Ezekiel 1:13. This part of the vision signified that the city would shortly be consumed by fire. Coals of fire do elsewhere denote the divine vengeance. Now the cherubim Which were part of the vision shown to the prophet; stood on the right side of the house In the inner court, on the north side of the temple, Ezekiel 10:18; namely, the court of the priests. And the cloud filled the court A splendour, or brightness, went before, and a cloud followed it. The splendour signified the clearness of the judgment; and the clouds, the storms of calamity which would follow it.
