Then I arose and went forth into the plain, &c.] He was obedient to the heavenly vision, which was owing to the hand of the Lord being upon him; the power of the Spirit and grace of God influences and engages to obedience; he went forth where he was ordered, though he knew not what would be said to him, or what he should see there: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there; the glorious Person described in (<260126>Ezekiel 1:26-28); as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar; (<260101>Ezekiel 1:1-3:27 28:1-26); which vision was repeated for greater certainty, and to confirm the prophecies delivered to him, and to encourage him in the performance of his office: and I fell on my face; as he did before, when he first saw this glorious object, (<260128>Ezekiel 1:28).
