Ezekiel 43:1-5

1Then the man brought me to the east gate.

2There I suddenly saw the bright glory of the God of Israel as it came from the east. His voice was like the noise of lots of water that pours along a river. The land around shone with the bright light of his glory.

3I had seen a vision like this when I was beside the Kebar River. I had also seen a vision like this when God came to destroy Jerusalem. I bent down low with my face on the ground.

4The Lord's bright glory went through the east gate into the temple.

5Then a spirit lifted me up and took me into the temple's inside yard. As I watched, the Lord's glory filled the temple.
