Ezekiel 43:1-8

1Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east.

2And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

3It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw—like the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.

4And the glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east.

5The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

6Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me.

7And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places.

8When 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.
