God’s Glory Returns to the Temple

43 Then the man brought me to the gate facing east,^(A)

² and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters,^(A) and the land was radiant with his glory.^(B)

² The Lord said to me, “This gate is to remain shut. It must not be opened; no one may enter through it.^(A) It is to remain shut because the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered through it.

³ The prince himself is the only one who may sit inside the gateway to eat in the presence^(A) of the Lord. He is to enter by way of the portico of the gateway and go out the same way.^(B)”
