THE MESSAGE
The man brought me to the east gate. Oh! The bright Glory of the God of Israel rivered out of the east sounding like the roar of floodwaters, and the earth itself glowed with the bright Glory. It looked just like what I had seen when he came to destroy the city, exactly like what I had seen earlier at the Kebar River. And again I fell, face to the ground.

Contextual Overview

1 The man took me back to the east gate of the temple, 2 where I saw the brightness of the glory of Israel's God coming from the east. The sound I heard was as loud as ocean waves, and everything around was shining with the dazzling brightness of his glory. 3 This vision was like the one I had seen when God came to destroy Jerusalem and like the one I had seen near the Chebar River. I immediately bowed with my face to the ground, 4 and the Lord 's glory came through the east gate and into the temple. 5 The Lord 's Spirit lifted me to my feet and carried me to the inner courtyard, where I saw that the Lord 's glory had filled the temple. 6 The man was standing beside me, and I heard the Lord say from inside the temple:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Afterward he brought me to the gate,.... The dimensions of this wonderful building being finished, the prophet's divine guide brought him from the wall about it, he had last measured, to the gate he first had him to, after he had observed to him the same wall, Ezekiel 40:5:

even the gate that looketh toward the east; or, as the Targum, which was open to the way of the east. The reason of his being brought hither follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The gate - This was the eastern gate from the precincts to the outer court.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XLIII

The glory of the Lord is represented as returning to the

temple, 1-6;

where God promises to fix his residence, if the people repent

and forsake those sins which caused him to depart from them,

7-12.

Then the measures of the altar, and the ordinances relating to

it, are set down, 13-27.
