The Glory Departs from the Temple

1 And I looked, and there in the afirmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.  
2 aThen He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with bcoals of fire from among the cherubim, and cscatter them over the city.” And he went in as I watched.  
3 Now the cherubim were standing on the1 south side of the temple when the man went in, and the acloud filled the inner court.  
4 aThen the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the1 temple; and bthe house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord’s cglory.  
5 And the asound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like bthe voice of Almighty God when He speaks.  
6 Then it happened, when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside the wheels.
7 And the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out.

Ezekiel 10:3

right . . . of . . . house—The scene of the locality whence judgment emanates is the temple, to mark God's vindication of His holiness injured there. The cherubim here are not those in the holy of holies, for the latter had not "wheels." They stood on "the right of the house," that is, the south, for the Chaldean power, guided by them, had already advanced from the north (the direction of Babylon), and had destroyed the men in the temple, and was now proceeding to destroy the city, which lay south and west.

the cherubim . . . the man—There was perfect concert of action between the cherubic representative of the angels and "the Man," to minister to whom they "stood" there (Ezekiel 10:7).

cloud—emblem of God's displeasure; as the "glory" or "brightness" (Ezekiel 10:4) typifies His majesty and clearness in judgment.
