Hello Allen. Without going into a full commentary on these chapters you asked about, I can only given you a quick outline that should help keep this whole prophetical book in perspective.
The Book of Ezekiel is largely divided into several prophetical messages. The ones you were enquiring about fall under 'Prophecies against Judah and Jerusalem' (from Ezekiel 4:1 to 24:27). And under this heading, Ezekiel utters Prophecies through the use of Symbols (4:1 to 5:17); Prophecies through Sermons (6:1 to 7:27); and Prophecies through Visions (8:1 to 11:25).
And under this last category, Ezekiel prophesied about Wickedness in the Temple (8:1-18); of the Slaying of the inhabitants of Jerusalem (9:1-11); of the Burning of Jerusalem (10:1-22); and of Wicked Princes & departure of God's Glory (11:1-25).
So as you prayerfully read those chapters in question (chaps 8-10), keep these headings in mind as they relate to what Ezekiel saw in his visions, and that which would come to pass in the future. This should help you in understanding what is written, without going into overwhelming detail. However, if you still have a specific question, then we could help you with that. Blessings.
Thanks Allen
