4 And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
4 The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east.
4 As the glory of the Lord entered the temple by the gate facing east,
4 The bright Glory of God poured into the Temple through the east gate.
4 And the glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east.
4 And the glory of the Lord came into the Temple through the east gateway.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 43:4
Chapter Summary
After Ezekiel had surveyed the temple of God, he had a vision of the glory of God. When Christ crucified, and the things freely given to us of God, through Him, are shown to us by the Holy Ghost, they make us ashamed for our sins. This frame of mind prepares us for fuller discoveries of the mysteries of redeeming love; and the whole of the Scriptures should be opened and applied, that men may see their sins, and repent of them. We are not now to offer any atoning sacrifices, for by one offering Christ has perfected for ever those that are sanctified, Hebrews 10:14; but the sprinkling of his blood is needful in all our approaches to God the Father. Our best services can be accepted only as sprinkled with the blood which cleanses from all sin.
