Ezekiel 1:28
_ _ the bow ... in ... rain — the symbol of the sure covenant of mercy to God’s children remembered amidst judgments on the wicked; as in the flood in Noah’s days (Revelation 4:3). “Like hanging out from the throne of the Eternal a ring of peace, assuring all that the purpose of Heaven was to preserve rather than to destroy. Even if the divine work should require a deluge of wrath, still the faithfulness of God would only shine forth the more brightly at last to the children of promise, in consequence of the tribulations needed to prepare for the ultimate good” [Fairbairn]. (Isaiah 54:8-10).
_ _ I fell upon ... face — the right attitude, spiritually, before we enter on any active work for God (Ezekiel 2:2; Ezekiel 3:23, Ezekiel 3:24; Revelation 1:17). In this first chapter God gathered into one vision the substance of all that was to occupy the prophetic agency of Ezekiel; as was done afterwards in the opening vision of the Revelation of Saint John. |
Ezekiel 1:28
The bow — A like appearance of Christ in a surrounding brightness, as of the rainbow you have, Revelation 4:3. Mercy, and truth, and both according to covenant are about the throne of Christ. Glory — It was not the full glory of God, but such as the prophet might bear. I fell — With deep humility and reverence. |
Ezekiel 1:28
As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness around. This [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw [it], I fell (o) upon my face, and I heard a voice of one speaking.
(o) Considering the majesty of God, and the weakness of flesh. |
