Ezekiel 9 (WEB) Full Chapter &
Its Connection to the Book of Revelation!

1 Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, (“Bring near the executioners of the city” ESV)
Cause you them that have charge over the city to draw near, every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand;

and one man in the midst of them clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
3 The glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.

(God’s Glory departing from His temple and retuning in Ezekiel scriptures:
Glory departs from God’s Temple at Ezekiel 9:3, 10:3-4, 18-19
Glory returns to God’s Temple on Earth during Christ’s 1,000 year reign at Ezekiel 43:1-5, 44:4
What is God’s glory? Answer – His powerful divine presence.
➥ Exodus 24:17, “appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire.”
➥ Ezekiel 1:28, “Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

Ezekiel 9:4-8
God’s Instructions to Mark the Good & Destroy the Rest!

4 Yahweh said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.
5 To the others he said in my hearing, Go you through the city after him, and strike:

don’t let your eye spare, neither have you pity;
6 kill utterly the old man, the young man and the virgin, and little children and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark: and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the old men that were before the house.

7 He said to them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go you forth. They went forth, and struck in the city.
8 It happened, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Yahweh! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?

Ezekiel 9:9-10
God’s Reasons for Destroying the City

9 Then said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of wrestling [of judgment]: for they say, Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn’t see.
10 As for me also, my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.
11 Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as you have commanded me.
