New King James Version

Ezekiel 43:1-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east.

2. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

3. It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw—like the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.

4. And the glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east.

5. The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

6. Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me.

7. And He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places.
