God’s Glory Returns to the Temple

The Vision of the Gates

43 Next, he brought me to the east-facing gate, ²and the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. His voice sounded like roaring^[a] water, and the land shimmered from his glory. ³His appearance in the vision that I was having was similar to what I observed in the vision where he had come to destroy the city, and also like the visions that I saw by the Chebar River. I fell flat on my face ⁴while the glory of the Lord entered the Temple through the east-facing gate. ⁵Just then, the Spirit lifted me up and carried me into the inner courtyard, where the glory of the Lord was filling the Temple!
