Yahweh"s glory entered the temple through the east gate, the same gate through which Ezekiel had formerly seen it leave the city. The Holy Spirit transported Ezekiel in his vision to the inner court, and there he saw that God"s glory had filled the temple (cf. Exodus 24:9-17; Exodus 34:29-30; Luke 2:8-10). Similarly the glory of God had come upon and filled the tabernacle at its dedication ( Exodus 40:34-35) and Solomon"s temple at its dedication ( 1 Kings 8:10-11; 2 Chronicles 5:13-14; 2 Chronicles 7:1-3).
