“The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east. Then the Spirit lifted me up and ... the glory of the Lord filled the temple” (43:4). Ezekiel’s visions occurred during one of the worst eras in Israel’s history. Their rebellion had cost them their land, and Ezekiel’s earlier visions of judgment showed God’s glory departing from Jerusalem’s Temple (10:18). Now, Ezekiel saw in a vision a new Temple, and God’s glory (His presence) returned. He still desired to dwell among His people.

“The land was radiant with His glory” (43:1). God remembers His promises, and His grace shines brightly in our darkness. Through Christ, we become His holy temple, the dwelling place of His Spirit (Ephesians 2:20-21).
