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 After this, he brought me to the gate facing east. 2 There I saw the glory of the God of Isra'el approaching from the east. His voice was like the sound of rushing water, and the earth shone with his glory. 3 The vision seemed like the vision I had seen when I came to destroy the city; also the visions were like the vision I had seen by the K'var River; and I fell on my face. 4 Adonai 's glory entered the house through the gate facing east. 5 Next, a spirit took me up and brought me into the inner courtyard, and I saw Adonai 's glory fill the house. 6 I heard someone speaking to me from the house, and a man was standing by me.

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.
