[1] {Son of man}
"Son of man," used by our Lord of Himself seventy-nine times, is used by
Jehovah ninety one times when addressing Ezekiel. (1) In the case of our
Lord the meaning is clear: it is His racial name as the representative
Man in the sense of
# 1Co 15:45-47
The same thought, implying transcendence of mere Judaism, is involved
in the phrase when applied to Ezekiel. Israel had forgotten her
mission.
» See Note "Ge 11:10"
# Eze 5:5-8
Now, in her captivity, Jehovah will not forsake His people, but He will
remind them that they are but a small part of the race for whom He also
cares. Hence the emphasis upon the word "man." The Cherubim "had the
likeness of a man"
# Eze 1:5
and when the prophet beheld the throne of God, he saw "the likeness
as the appearance of a \\man\\ above upon it"
# Eze 1:26
» See Note "Mt 8:20"
# Re 1:12,13
(2) As used of Ezekiel, the expression indicates, not what the prophet is
in himself, but what he is to God; a son of man (a) chosen, (b) endued
with the Spirit, and (c) sent of God. All this is true also of Christ
who was, furthermore, the representative man--the head of regenerate
humanity.

[1] {take}
The symbolic actions during the prophet's dumbness were testimonies to
the past wickedness and chastisement of the house of Israel (the whole
nation), and prophetic of a coming siege. They therefore intermediate
between the siege of
# 2Ki 24:10-16
at which time Ezekiel was carried to Babylon, and the siege of
# 2Ki 25:1-11
eleven years later.
