The Vision of the Temple

After Ezekiel carefully examines every part of the temple, he is shown something even greater—the arrival of God’s glory. All the beautiful details of the temple would be empty without God’s presence. Now, Ezekiel sees the glory of the Lord fill the house, just as the Spirit gave life to the dry bones in his earlier vision. This teaches us that God’s presence is what gives true meaning to worship and to his people.

v. 1-2: Ezekiel is brought to the east gate, where he sees the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. God’s voice is powerful, like the sound of many waters, and his glory shines so brightly that the whole earth reflects it. This appearance is like what Ezekiel saw at the beginning of his ministry and when he prophesied judgment on the city (Ezekiel 43:1-2; Revelation 1:15 ^a; Psalm 18:12 ^b).
