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 to the gate that faces east, 2 and there I saw coming from the east the dazzling light of the presence of the God of Israel. God's voice sounded like the roar of the sea, and the earth shone with the dazzling light. 3 This vision was like the one I had seen when God came to destroy Jerusalem, and the one I saw by the Chebar River. Then I threw myself face downward on the ground. 4 The dazzling light passed through the east gate and went into the Temple. 5 The Lord 's spirit lifted me up and took me into the inner courtyard, where I saw that the Temple was filled with the glory of the Lord . 6 The man stood beside me there, and I heard the Lord speak to me out of 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.
