Ezekiel 43:2

God's presenceGod's holiness

1 Then the man brought me back to the gate that faces east,

and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory.

3 The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when He came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown,

4 and the glory of the LORD entered the temple through the gate facing east.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
