Ezekiel 28:14
_ _ anointed cherub — Gesenius translates from an Aramaic root, “extended cherub.” English Version, from a Hebrew root, is better. “The cherub consecrated to the Lord by the anointing oil” [Fairbairn].
_ _ covereth — The imagery employed by Ezekiel as a priest is from the Jewish temple, wherein the cherubim overshadowed the mercy seat, as the king of Tyre, a demi-god in his own esteem, extended his protection over the interests of Tyre. The cherub — an ideal compound of the highest kinds of animal existence and the type of redeemed man in his ultimate state of perfection — is made the image of the king of Tyre, as if the beau ideal of humanity. The pretensions of Antichrist are the ulterior reference, of whom the king of Tyre is a type. Compare “As God ... in the temple of God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4).
_ _ I have set thee — not thou set thyself (Proverbs 8:16; Romans 13:1).
_ _ upon the holy mountain of God — Zion, following up the image.
_ _ in ... midst of ... stones of fire — In ambitious imagination he stood in the place of God, “under whose feet was, as it were, a pavement of sapphire,” while His glory was like “devouring fire” (Exodus 24:10, Exodus 24:17). |
Ezekiel 28:14
Cherub — For thy wisdom, power, and excellency, like a cherub, or angel; for the sacredness of thy person, and office, as the anointed of God; for the exercise of thy power, as a shield, as a protector of the weak. And I — I, whom thou forgetest have made thee so. Thou wast — Thou wast advanced to kingly dignity, (which David calls a mountain, Psalms 30:7,) a sacred office, and of divine institution. In the midst — Surrounded with stones, that sparkle like fire. |
Ezekiel 28:14
Thou [art] (e) the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee (f) [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the (g) stones of fire.
(e) He means the royal state of Tyre, which for the excellency and glory of it he compares to the cherubim which covered the Ark, and by "anointed" he signifies the same.
(f) I did you this honour to make you one of the builders of my temple, which was when Hiram sent to Solomon things necessary for the work.
(g) That is, among my people Israel, which shined as precious stones. |
