43 Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east. [SUP]2 [/SUP]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. [SUP]3 [/SUP]
It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw—like the vision which I saw when I[SUP][
a][/SUP] came to destroy the city. The visions
were like the vision which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. [SUP]4 [/SUP]And
the glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east. [SUP]5 [/SUP]The
Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Then I heard
Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me. [SUP]7 [/SUP]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. [SUP]8 [/SUP]When
they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger. [SUP]9 [/SUP]Now
let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.
sounds here like the temple is finished before the lords return, for here we have the vision of the king coming from the east and setting up his throne, after he regathers isreal and puts her back in her own land.
