Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 3:12

12 Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.

The Spirit of God which governed the Wheeles and the living Creatures, chap. 1. ver. 3.

Either raised him up to nearer approaches to see and discern, to hear and learn. Or, carried him to his Countrey-men to whom he was to speak.

His Face toward the North while he saw the Vision, now that he is carried South to his People the voice is behind him.

An Articulate sound and intelligible, but with great commotion for it was the voice of Angels, attended with the rushing noise of the Wheeles added to the noise of their wings, and a mighty Wind which might likely accompany all this.

Praised, and magnified be the gloriously holy and just God, riding on the glorious Chariot of his sovereignty in prescribing Laws, appointing Ordinances, threatning Sin, and punishing sinners.

Either coming down from Heaven, or departing from his Temple. In brief the glorious Angels, and all the Saints of God blesse, i. e. Praise, admire, and justifie God in all the ways of his Judgments among the Sons of Men.
