Ezek. 9:1–11 A team of seven angels carries out the execution of the unfaithful in Jerusalem at God’s command. Only one of them is assigned the job of protecting the faithful. The prophet’s anguished intervention does not change the Lord’s mind about the judgment.
Ezek. 9:3–7 The seventh angel, in the role of scribe, puts a mark on the foreheads (v. 4) of those who are faithful to the Lord. Preserving a remnant has been a feature of chs. 4–7. Here, the mark is the Hebrew letter taw. In the script of Ezekiel’s day it would be an X. Ancient Christian interpretation saw this symbol as an anticipation of the cross.
Ezek. 9:6 they began with the elders. Just as the leaders had led the people astray, so now judgment begins with them. house. The temple.
Ezek. 9:8 Ah, Lord God! Will you destroy all the remnant? Compare 11:13.
Ezek. 9:9–10 God pointedly responds to the elders’ claim that he does not know what they are doing (the Lord does not see; compare 8:12 and 9:9).
