Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
he--Jehovah; He who sat on the "throne."
the man--the Messenger of mercy becoming the Messenger of judgment (see on Eze 9:2). Human agents of destruction shall fulfil the will of "the Man," who is Lord of men.
wheels--Hebrew, galgal, implying quick revolution; so the impetuous onset of the foe (compare Eze 23:24; Eze 26:10); whereas "ophan," in Eze 1:15-16 implies mere revolution.
coals of fire--the wrath of God about to burn the city, as His sword had previously slain its guilty inhabitants. This "fire," how different from the fire on the altar never going out (Lev 6:12-13), whereby, in type, peace was made with God! Compare Isa 33:12, Isa 33:14. It is therefore not taken from the altar of reconciliation, but from between the wheels of the cherubim, representing the providence of God, whereby, and not by chance, judgment is to fall. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
He spake - The person enthroned.
The cherub - The particular cherub who was to hand the coals to destroy Psa 120:4; Isa 10:16; Rev 15:8. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| He - That sat on the throne. Scatter - That it may take fire in all parts, and none may escape. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Coals of fire - These were to signify the burning of the city by the Chaldeans. It seems that the space between the four wheels, which was all on fire, was that from which those coals were taken. |
