Ezekiel 43:6

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.

8 ^aWhen they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger.

9 Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.

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.
