Ezekiel 8:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 8:1

Abominations in the Temple

1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house with ^athe elders of Judah sitting before me, that ^bthe hand of the Lord God fell upon me there.

2 ^aThen I looked, and there was a likeness, like the appearance of fire—from the appearance of His waist and downward, fire; and from His waist and upward, like the appearance of brightness, ^blike the color of amber.

3 He ^astretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my hair; and ^bthe Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and ^cbrought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the north gate of the inner court, ^dwhere the seat of the image of jealousy was, which ^eprovokes to jealousy.

4 And behold, the ^aglory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I ^bsaw in the plain.

5 Then He said to me, “Son of man, lift your eyes now toward the north.” So I lifted my eyes toward the north, and there, north of the altar gate, was this image of jealousy in the entrance.
