Ezekiel 43:2

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.

7 And He said to me, “Son of man, this is ^athe place of My throne and ^bthe place of the soles of My feet, ^cwhere I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. ^dNo more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their¹ harlotry or with ^ethe carcasses of their kings on their high places.

Ezekiel 43:1-27

- After Ezekiel had surveyed the temple of God, he had a vision of the glory of God. When Christ crucified, and the things freely given to us of God, through Him, are shown to us by the Holy Ghost, they make us ashamed for our sins. This frame of mind prepares us for fuller discoveries of the mysteries of redeeming love; and the whole of the Scriptures should be opened and applied, that men may see their sins, and repent of them. We are not now to offer any atoning sacrifices, for by one offering Christ has perfected for ever those that are sanctified, Heb 10:14; but the sprinkling of his blood is needful in all our approaches to God the Father. Our best services can be accepted only as sprinkled with the blood which cleanses from all sin.
