Ezekiel 43 essentially begins: “Behold, the glory of the God of Israel.” These eight words will change one’s life forever. The return of God’s glory to the temple is one of the most dramatic moments in the book–the undoing of its prior departure in 10:18-22 and 11:23. After all, the only thing lacking from this sacred space was God Himself. This temple transformation signals a new beginning, a new era between the LORD and His people, an indissoluble bond for He will dwell in their midst forever. When Jesus comes back, every eye will behold what Ezekiel saw: God in all of His glory. Those who looked upon Jesus with eyes of faith here will then bask in His temple presence forever.
