his voice . . . like . . . many waters--So English Version rightly, as in Eze 1:24, "voice of the Almighty"; Rev 1:15; Rev 14:2, prove this. Not as FAIRBAIRN translates, "its noise."
earth his glory-- (Rev 18:1). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Came - When the glory departed, it went eastward, and now it returns, it comes from the east. And his voice - Though by the voice of God, thunder is sometimes meant, yet here it was an articulate voice. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| The glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east - This was the chariot of cherubim, wheels, etc., which he saw at the river Chebar. And this glory, coming from the east, is going to enter into the eastern gate of the temple, and thence to shine out upon the whole earth. Is there not a mystery here? All knowledge, all religion, and all arts and sciences, have traveled, according to the course of the sun, From East To West! From that quarter the Divine glory at first came; and thence the rays of Divine light continue to diffuse themselves over the face of the earth. From thence came the Bible, and through that the new covenant. From thence came the prophets, the apostles, and the first missionaries, that brought the knowledge of God to Europe, to the isles of the sea, and to the west first, and afterwards to these northern regions. |

15 And [2532] his [846] feet [4228] like [3664] unto fine brass [5474], as [5613] if they burned [4448] in [1722] a furnace [2575]; and [2532] his [846] voice [5456] as [5613] the sound [5456] of many [4183] waters [5204].
24 And when they went [03212], I heard [08085] the noise [06963] of their wings [03671], like the noise [06963] of great [07227] waters [04325], as the voice [06963] of the Almighty [07706], the voice [06963] of speech [01999], as the noise [06963] of an host [04264]: when they stood [05975], they let down [07503] their wings [03671].
4 And his feet [07272] shall stand [05975] in that day [03117] upon the mount [02022] of Olives [02132], which is before [06440] Jerusalem [03389] on the east [06924], and the mount [02022] of Olives [02132] shall cleave [01234] in the midst [02677] thereof toward the east [04217] and toward the west [03220], and there shall be a very [03966] great [01419] valley [01516]; and half [02677] of the mountain [02022] shall remove [04185] toward the north [06828], and half [02677] of it toward the south [05045].
22 Then did the cherubims [03742] lift up [05375] their wings [03671], and the wheels [0212] beside [05980] them; and the glory [03519] of the God [0430] of Israel [03478] was over them above [04605].
23 And the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] went up [05927] from the midst [08432] of the city [05892], and stood [05975] upon the mountain [02022] which is on the east side [06924] of the city [05892].
