3. The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when the Lord came to destroy the city and also like the vision I had seen by the Kebar River. I bowed facedown on the ground.
4. The glory of the Lord came into the Temple area through the east gateway.
5. Then the Spirit picked me up and brought me into the inner courtyard. There I saw the Lord’s glory filling the Temple.
6. As the man stood at my side, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the Temple.
7. The voice from the Temple said to me, “Human, this is my throne and the place where my feet rest. I will live here among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel will not make my holy name unclean again. Neither the people nor their kings will make it unclean with their sexual sins or with the dead bodies of their kings.
