“And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.”
And the vision I saw was like the vision that I had seen by the River Chebar when I came to destroy the city; and I fell on my face—connecting the return of God's glory to the earlier departure vision at the Chebar River. The reference to destruction emphasizes that the exile was not an accident but a judgment; God's presence departed because of covenant violation. The falling on face indicates awe and submission before divine majesty. This verse connects the present vision to Ezekiel's earlier experiences.
