Ezekiel 43:2 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

The way of the east - the way whereby the glory had departed (Ezekiel 11:22-23), and rested on mount Olivet (cf. Zechariah 14:4).

His voice was like a noise of many waters - so the English version rightly, as Ezekiel 1:24 - "like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty" - Revelation 1:15; Revelation 14:2 prove. Not as Fairbairn translates, 'its noise.'

And the earth shined with his glory - (Revelation 18:1, "The earth was lightened with His glory").
