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 A visão que tive era como a que eu tivera quando ele veio destruir a cidade e como as que eu tivera junto ao rio Quebar; e me prostrei com o rosto em terra.

4 A glória do SENHOR entrou no templo pela porta que dava para o lado leste.

5 Então o Espírito pôs-me em pé e levou-me para dentro do pátio interno, e a glória do SENHOR encheu o templo.

6 Enquanto o homem estava ao meu lado, ouvi alguém falando comigo de dentro do templo.

7 Ele disse: “Filho do homem, este é o lugar do meu trono e o lugar para a sola dos meus pés. Aqui viverei para sempre entre os israelitas. A nação de Israel jamais contaminará o meu santo nome, nem os israelitas, nem seus reis, mediante a sua prostituição e os ídolos sem vida de seus reis, em seus santuários nos montes.
