Ezekiel 43:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 43:4

And the glory of the Lord came into the house,
&e.] Before described and measured; and being fitted and prepared, the builder and owner of it comes and takes up his residence in it; as Christ will do in his church, more especially and more visibly in the latter day: by the way of the gate whose prospect is towards the east;
which was the direct way into the outward court, and so to the inward court, and into the holy, and into the most holy place; and was the way by which he departed from hence, ( Ezekiel 10:18 Ezekiel 10:19 ) .

Ezekiel 43:4 In-Context

2 Oh! The bright Glory of the God of Israel rivered out of the east sounding like the roar of floodwaters, and the earth itself glowed with the bright Glory.
3 It looked just like what I had seen when he came to destroy the city, exactly like what I had seen earlier at the Kebar River. And again I fell, face to the ground.
4 The bright Glory of God poured into the Temple through the east gate.
5 The Spirit put me on my feet and led me to the inside courtyard and - oh! the bright Glory of God filled the Temple!
6 I heard someone speaking to me from inside the Temple while the man stood beside me.
