Ezequiel 43:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 43:5

So the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court,
&c.] The prophet was fallen down on his face, upon the sight of the glory of the Lord, and there he lay, until a wind came, as the word signifies; or the Holy Spirit, which is compared to the wind, for its invisible and irresistible power, came and took him up: humble souls are regarded by the Lord; he raises them up, and exalts them, and brings them into nearer and more intimate communion with God; and gives them clearer views still of the glories of Christ's person, grace, and love: and it is the Spirit of God only that does this, and that to priests only, such an one as Ezekiel was; for none but priests went into the inner court: and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house;
the body of it; both the holy and the most holy place, with all its courts and apartments; so the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle when that was set up in the temple of Solomon, when it was built; and the glory of the Lord will fill the church of God, yea, the whole earth, in the latter day, ( Isaiah 6:3 ) , of this Christ's personal appearance in the second temple, which gave it a greater glory than the former, was an emblem and pledge, ( Haggai 2:7 Haggai 2:9 ) , here, it may be observed, no mention is made of a cloud, as at the setting up of the tabernacle, and dedication of the temple; denoting the clear light of the Gospel in those times, and how the glory of the Lord will be seen with open face by all the saints.

Ezequiel 43:5 In-Context

3 Y tenía el aspecto de la visión que vi, como la visión que había visto cuando El vino a destruir la ciudad; y las visiones eran como la visión que yo había visto junto al río Quebar. Entonces me postré sobre mi rostro.
4 La gloria del SEÑOR entró en el templo por el camino de la puerta que da hacia el oriente.
5 Y el Espíritu me levantó y me llevó al atrio interior, y he aquí, la gloria del SEÑOR llenó el templo.
6 Y oí a uno que me hablaba desde el templo, mientras el hombre estaba de pie junto a mí,
7 y me dijo: Hijo de hombre, este es el lugar de mi trono, el lugar de las plantas de mis pies, donde habitaré entre los hijos de Israel para siempre. Y la casa de Israel no volverá a profanar mi santo nombre, ni ellos ni sus reyes, con sus prostituciones y con los cadáveres de sus reyes cuando mueran ,
