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 ) .
