Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible

Ezekiel Ch.44 / 48 Ch.s


EZE:44

- This chapter contains ordinances relative to the true priests.
The prince evidently means Christ, and the words in ver. #2|,
may remind us that no other can enter heaven, the true
sanctuary, as Christ did; namely, by virtue of his own
excellency, and his personal holiness, righteousness, and
strength. He who is the Brightness of Jehovah's glory entered by
his own holiness; but that way is shut to the whole human race,
and we all must enter as sinners, by faith in his blood, and by
the power of his grace.
