Ezekiel 10:2

He spake that sat on the throne, i.e. God, who rules the world and church. Unto the man; to Christ, as before, Ezekiel 9:2. Go in: it is said, Ezekiel 1:18, that the rings of the wheels were dreadful, but here is a Divine command which encourageth, and insureth, and lessens the dread and terror. Between the wheels; whether between the four, or between the two foremost, or hindermost, or either, between the wheels that made up one wheel, is not material to inquire. Fill thine hand: this expresseth the fainess of vengeance which would overtake them, and the certainty and speediness of judgments; for such a quantity of coals in the hand ready to be scattered abroad will very soon set all in a flame. From between the cherubims; either to intimate to us that this fire was the vengeance of God upon them; for he sits between the cherubims, and is consuming fire to sin; or to intimate that the vengeance was for sins against the grace of God, who sat between the cherubims, and thence gave out his grace toward Israel, Exodus 25:20 Hebrews 9:5. But abused grace will kindle into fire. Scatter them over the city, that it may take fire in all parts, and none may escape; so cast the fire, that the coals may fall on every part. He went in in my sight; which assured the prophet of the certainty, and intimated too the speed of the effect, which will be within five years space.
