Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
The cherubim stood on the right side of the house. The scene of the locality whence judgment emanates is the temple, to mark God's vindication of His holiness injured there. The cherubim here are not those in the holy of holies, because the latter did not have "wheels." They stood on "the right side of the house" - i:e., the south; for the Chaldean power, guided by them, had already advanced from the north (the direction of Babylon), and had destroyed the men in the temple, and were now proceeding to destroy the city, which lay south and west.
The cherubim ... when the man went in. There was perfect concert of action between, the cherubic representative of the angels and "the Man," to minister to whom they "stood" there (Ezekiel 10:7).
The cloud filled the inner court. "The cloud" is the emblem of God's displeasure; as the "glory" or "brightness" (Ezekiel 10:4) typifies His majesty and clearness in judgment.
