Ezekiel 43:7 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Ezekiel 43:7

5 ^aThe Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, ^bthe glory of the Lord filled the¹ temple.

6 Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while ^aa man stood beside me.

7 And He said to me, “Son of man, this is ^athe place of My throne and ^bthe place of the soles of My feet, ^cwhere I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. ^dNo more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their¹ harlotry or with ^ethe carcasses of their kings on their high places.

8 ^aWhen they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger.

9 Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.

Ezekiel 43:7

the place—that is, "behold the place of My throne"—the place on which your thoughts have so much dwelt (Isaiah 2:1-3; Jeremiah 3:17; Zechariah 14:16-20; Malachi 3:1). God from the first claimed to be their King politically as well as religiously: and He had resisted their wish to have a human king, as implying a rejection of Him as the proper Head of the state. Even when He yielded to their wish, it was with a protest against their king ruling except as His vicegerent. When Messiah shall reign at Jerusalem, He shall then first realize the original idea of the theocracy, with its at once divine and human king reigning in righteousness over a people all righteous (Ezekiel 43:12; Isaiah 52:1; Isaiah 54:13; Isaiah 60:21).
