Ezekiel 1:2

Ezekiel 1:2

Ezekiel’s Vision of God

1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by ^athe River Chebar, that ^bthe heavens were opened and I saw ^cvisions of God.

2 On the fifth day of the month, which was in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,

3 the word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and ^athe hand of the Lord was upon him there.

4 Then I looked, and behold, ^aa whirlwind was coming ^bout of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Ezekiel 1:1

Ezekiel 1:3 >>

The month - Thamus, as Ezekiel 1:1, answering to our June and July. Fifth year - This account observed will guide us in computing the times referred to Ezekiel 1:1. These five of Jehoiachin, and the eleven of his predecessor, added to fourteen of Josiah's reign, after he found the law, make up thirty years, Ezekiel 1:1. Jehoiachin - Who is also called Jechoniah, and Coniah. It may be of use to keep an account, when and where God has manifested himself to us in a peculiar manner. Remember, O my soul, what thou didst receive at such a time, at such a place: tell others what God did for thee.
