And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter [them] over the city. And he went in in my sight.
Ver. 2. And he spake unto the man.] See Ezekiel 9:2. Christ, who had marked the mourners, scattereth coals upon the rebellious city: "kiss the Son lest he be angry, and ye perish."
And scatter them over the city.] To show that Jerusalem was to be burnt by the Chaldees, as must likewise Rome by the kings of the earth; for strong is the Lord who judgeth her. Rev 18:8
And he went in my sight.] Saints see and foresee that which is often hid from others.
