Ezekiel 43:3

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face." — Ezekiel 43:3 (ASV)

When I came to destroy the city. That is, to announce its destruction (Genesis 49:7; Isaiah 6:10; Jeremiah 1:10).

Like the vision that I saw. Compare to Ezekiel 1:4 and following, Ezekiel 3:23, Ezekiel 10:15, Ezekiel 10:22. The manifestation of Divine glory to the prophet was the same throughout.
