God's Glory Departs from the Temple

101 And I looked, and behold, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 10:1

Commentary on Ezekiel 10:1-7

(Read Ezekiel 10:1-7)

The fire being taken from between the wheels, under the cherubim, 13, seems to have signified the wrath of God to be executed upon Jerusalem. It intimated that the fire of Divine wrath, which kindles judgment upon a people, is just and holy; and in the great day, the earth, and all the works that are therein, will be burnt up.
