EZEKIEL'S COMMISSION. (Ezekiel 2:1-10)
Son of man--often applied to Ezekiel; once only to Daniel (Daniel 8:17), and not to any other prophet. The phrase was no doubt taken from Chaldean usage during the sojourn of Daniel and Ezekiel in Chaldea. But the spirit who sanctioned the words of the prophet implied by it the lowliness and frailty of the prophet as man "lower than the angels," though now admitted to the vision of angels and of God Himself, "lest he should be exalted through the abundance of the revelations" (2 Corinthians 12:7). He is appropriately so called as being type of the divine "Son of man" here revealed as "man" (see on Ezekiel 1:26). That title, as applied to Messiah, implies at once His lowliness and His exaltation, in His manifestations as the Representative man, at His first and second comings respectively (Psalms 8:4-8; Matthew 16:13; Matthew 20:18; and on the other hand, Daniel 7:13-14; Matthew 26:64; John 5:27).
