3<\/strong>. the right side of the house<\/em> ] i.e. on the south of the temple proper. It is difficult to see any significance in the position of the cherubim, except that the south side of the house was more in the direction of the city than either the north or east side, and the west side was closed by buildings.<\/p>\n On the right side – <\/B>On the south Eze 47:2<\/span>. The idolatries had been seen on the north side. On the south stood the cherubim ready to receive and bear away the glory of the Lord.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 3<\/span>.

The cherubim hereare not those in the holy of holies, for the latter had not “wheels.”They stood on “the right of the house,” that is, the south,for the Chaldean power, guided by them, had already advanced from thenorth (the direction of Babylon), and had destroyed the men in thetemple,<\/I> and was now proceeding to destroy the city,<\/I> whichlay south and west. <\/P> the cherubim . . . theman<\/B>There was perfect concert of action between the cherubicrepresentative of the angels and “the Man,” to minister towhom they “stood” there (Eze10:7<\/span>). <\/P> cloud<\/B>emblem of God’sdispleasure; as the “glory” or “brightness” (Eze10:4<\/span>) typifies His majesty and clearness in judgment.<\/P><\/p>\n Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house<\/strong>,…. According to the Targum, it was the south side of the house; and so Jarchi interprets it opposite to the north, where the gross idolatries were committed, Eze 8:3<\/span>; standing at the greatest distance from them, and bearing their testimony against them:<\/p>\n when the man went in<\/strong>; they stood as it were in a levee, through which the man passed, waiting upon him; paying a respect to him; assenting to what he did; and approving of it: this circumstance is mentioned, because they were not always in this position, only at this time; nor did they continue so; we afterwards hear of their motion:<\/p>\n and the cloud filled the inner court<\/strong>; the court of the priests, not as a token of God’s presence, as at the dedication of the temple; but rather of judicial blindness and darkness, which the people of the Jews were left unto.<\/p>\n Here the Prophet relates where the cherubim were when the men entered, which looks only to the certainty of the prophecy. For we are not here to seek any cunning speculations why they were on the right hand. It is only intended to show that the way was open to the angel to approach directly to God, and that the cherubim were disposed there to render their assistance; for there ought to be an agreement between the angel who took the fire which he scattered through the whole city, and the cherubim who carried all the angels. Here the Prophet shows this agreement, because the cherubim were turned to the right hand when he entered, so that God was at hand; then also the cherubim were at. hand, and thus the wheels bore along the fire. <\/p>\n Now we understand the intention of what we read. The interior court was filled with a cloud: doubtless this signifies, that God by all means confirmed the vision, that no suspicion should creep in that the Prophet was deluded with an empty spectra (Exo 40:34<\/span>; Num 9:15<\/span>.) This therefore is the reason why God not only appeared on his heavenly throne, but also filled the temple with a cloud; although, as I have said before, this cloud was a symbol of God’s alienation, (1Kg 8:10<\/span>; Psa 18:12<\/span>,) and we know that the sanctuary was filled with a cloud, although God then wished to testify his paternal favor: but in this place and elsewhere, as in Psa 18:0<\/span>, and in other places, a cloud seems to signify the averted face of God, as if the temple was full of darkness. And this afterwards is better confirmed; for he says — <\/p>\n 3<\/strong>. <\/strong> Right side <\/strong> Or, south side <\/em> of the temple. Ezekiel, coming through the north door into the outer court of the sanctuary, sees just in front of him the cherubim and the throne. He states the position in order to show that he had the best possible opportunity to see what happened when the man went into the fire.<\/p>\n ‘Now the cherubim stood on the right side (thus ‘the south side’) of the house when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court. And the glory of Yahweh mounted up from the cherub and stood over the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud and the court was full of the brightness of the glory of Yahweh.’<\/p>\n The position of the cherubim, and thus of the chariot, is now described. It was to the right of the house as they awaited further instruction, and it was at this point that the man went in between the whirling wheels, at which the cloud filled the inner court before the sanctuary. This was because Yahweh was about to move in His glory. Then the glory of Yahweh again left His chariot throne and ‘stood’ over the threshold of the house, veiled by the cloud. It should be noted that this was not in the sanctuary itself. That had been deserted. It was no longer His earthly dwellingplace, it was the place from which He would pour forth His judgments. As ever the cloud spoke of the presence of Yahweh in veiled form so that the brightness of His glory could be revealed without destroying those who saw it.<\/p>\n Eze 10:3 Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.<\/p>\n Ver. 3. Now the cherubims stood on the right side., <\/strong> ] i.e., <\/em> On the south side; being now removed from the north door, Eze 8:3-4<\/span> ; <\/em> Eze 9:3 as loathing that place of so great idolatry. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the cloud filled the inner court.<\/strong> ] a<\/em> To signify that now upon God’s departure, there should be darkness in the temple, yea, in the priests’ courts.

There is a popular saying, “Wherever there is smoke there is fire. The saying may well be reversed and. with a slight change in the wording, make it say, “Wherever there Is fire there may be a cloud (of smoke). Verse 2 reveals the fire of God’s wrath and this verse speaks of the cloud that arose from that fire. It was so extensive that it filled the inner court.<\/p>\n Ezekiel explained that in his vision the cherubim were positioned on the right or south side of the temple building, looking east. The south side of the temple was closest to the city. A cloud, symbolizing God’s presence (cf. Exo 33:9-10; 1Ki 8:10-11; Isa 6:1-4), covered the inner courtyard of the temple where the cherubim stood.<\/p>\n ". . . the presence of the Lord was as glorious in His departure as it was in His entrance (Exo 40:34-35; 1Ki 8:10-11)."
