Ezekiel 43:3-5
New English Translation
3 It was like the vision I saw when he[a] came to destroy the city, and the vision I saw by the Kebar River. I threw myself face down. 4 The glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate that faces east. 5 Then a wind[b] lifted me up and brought me to the inner court; I watched[c] the glory of the Lord filling the temple.[d]
