Commentary on Ezekiel 10:2

Theological / Devotional

Unto the man. The captain of the six ministers of judgment (ch. 9:2) is addressed and commanded to fill his hands with coals of fire and scatter them over the city. The act symbolizes the impending destruction of the city. It is not certain whether the imagery actually signifies the means of destruction (2 Chron. 36:19). The Temple and city were burned by the Chaldeans (2 Kings 25:9). Compare Rev. 8:5.
