Ezekiel 43:1-8

1Then he brought me to the gate that faced toward the east.

2I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east; the sound was like that of rushing water; and the earth radiated his glory.

3It was like the vision I saw when he came to destroy the city, and the vision I saw by the Kebar River. I threw myself face down.

4The glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate that faces east.

5Then a wind lifted me up and brought me to the inner court; I watched the glory of the Lord filling the temple.

6I heard someone speaking to me from the temple, while the man was standing beside me.

7He said to me: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will live among the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no longer profane my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their spiritual prostitution or by the pillars of their kings set up when they die.

8When they placed their threshold by my threshold and their doorpost by my doorpost, with only the wall between me and them, they profaned my holy name by the abominable deeds they committed. So I consumed them in my anger.
