Context of Ezekiel 43:5

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. Then a spirit lifted me up and took me into the temple's inside yard. As I watched, the Lord's glory filled the temple. 6While the man stood beside me, I heard a voice come from inside the temple. 7The Lord said to me, ‘Son of man, this is the place where I sit on my throne. It is my home where I will live among Israel's people. Israel's people and their kings will never again spoil the honour of my holy name. They will not turn away from me and worship other gods. They will not put the graves of their kings in this place.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 43:5

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5The spirit took me up - And, to follow this thought for a moment, how many men has this heavenly Spirit taken up; filled them with his own influence, and sent them to every country, and nation, and tongue, and people, to testify the Gospel of the grace of God, and to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ!

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5-7The Spirit took Ezekiel to the inner courtyard. There, he heard the Lord say that the restored temple was his palace, with his throne and footstool.

The temple would now be God's throne forever. The sins of his people would never again drive him away from his sanctuary.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-27Everything was now ready for His reception.
