Expository Notes on Ezekiel the Prophet
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Ezekiel opens abruptly with a visually captivating description of God. Amid the wheels, the visions, the dry bones, and more, Ezekiel chronicles in bizarre ways the presence of God in Babylonian exile. With pastoral honesty, Ironside’s chapter-by-chapter commentary on the book of Ezekiel reveals the message of God for the people of Judah and for the church today.

About Harry Allen Ironside
Harry Allen Ironside, one of the twentieth century’s greatest preachers, was born in Toronto, Canada on October 14, 1876.

Dr. Ironside was appointed to the boards of numerous Bible institutes, seminaries, and Christian organizations. He also served as director of the Africa Inland Mission. Ironside preached widely throughout the United States and abroad. He served as pastor of Moody Memorial Church from 1930 to 1948, and during his lifetime, he preached more than 7,000 sermons to over 1.25 million listeners.

“It seems clear, however, that prior to the work of the cross there could be no other way of presenting that work prophetically than by directing attention to such offerings as the people understood, but when Christ fulfilled all the types on the cross and exclaimed, ‘It is finished,’ these sacrifices were done away forever, so that the ordinances of the altar which are spoken of in the closing verses of the chapter, all picture, I have no doubt, the way in which the people will enter into and appreciate the work of our Lord Jesus Christ when at last He is revealed to them.” (Page 305)
“Nothing here is arbitrary; all is under the control of Him whose heart is concerned about all His creatures.” (Page 7)
“It is evident that Ezekiel did not seek the position of being the mouthpiece of God. As a result of the book of ‘lamentations and mourning’ which he had eaten, his own spirit was filled with bitterness.” (Page 23)
“To eat this roll was to take God’s word into his very being, to make it part of himself, as it were, and so to be prepared to give it out to the remnant of the captivity.” (Page 18)
“It was Matthew to whom it was given so to portray Him; whereas Mark’s record is symbolized better by the patient ox, the servant of God and man. Luke gives us pre-eminently the face of a Man—the Humanity of our Lord in all its perfection. John completes the story by setting Him forth as the heavenly One—the Eternal Son become flesh, aptly pictured by the eagle. In Christ all fulness dwells. He is the complete manifestation of all the divine attributes.” (Page 7)
