The Temple, the Lord’s Dwelling Place

1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate athat faces toward the east.  
2 aAnd behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. bHis voice was like the sound of many waters; cand the earth shone with His glory.  
3 It was alike the appearance of the vision which I saw—like the vision which I saw when1 I came bto destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw cby the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.  
4 aAnd the glory of the Lord came into the1 temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east.  
5 aThe Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, bthe glory of the Lord filled the1 temple.  
6 Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while aa man stood beside me.

Ezekiel 43:2

The glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east - This was the chariot of cherubim, wheels, etc., which he saw at the river Chebar. And this glory, coming from the east, is going to enter into the eastern gate of the temple, and thence to shine out upon the whole earth. Is there not a mystery here? All knowledge, all religion, and all arts and sciences, have traveled, according to the course of the sun, From East To West! From that quarter the Divine glory at first came; and thence the rays of Divine light continue to diffuse themselves over the face of the earth. From thence came the Bible, and through that the new covenant. From thence came the prophets, the apostles, and the first missionaries, that brought the knowledge of God to Europe, to the isles of the sea, and to the west first, and afterwards to these northern regions.
