Commentary
Commentary on Ezekiel 11:23
Theological / DevotionalThe mountain. Probably the mountain that was later known as the Mt. of Olives, a ridge of three principal summits 2,700 ft. (823 m.) above sea level across the Kidron east of Jerusalem. The city has an altitude of 2,500 ft. (777 m.). The site where the divine glory rested after departing from the Temple was the spot from which Jesus later “beheld the city, and wept over it” (Luke 19:37–41). It was from here that He announced the second destruction of the rebellious and stubborn city (Matt. 24) and proclaimed the signs of His second advent. From the same mountain He made His visible ascension into heaven (Luke 24:50, 51; Acts 1:11, 12). Upon this eminence the New Jerusalem will make its descent (Zech. 14:4, 5, 9).
