Ezekiel Chapter 44 Vs. 4

 The Gate for the Prince


Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face. Eze 44:4



Then brought he... Then—after his visit to the east gate the prophet was brought to the north gate to witness the glory of God filling the house or temple. Upon seeing this he again fell upon his face (see also Eze. 1:28; 3:23; 9:8; 11:13; 43:3). This was the sixth time he fell upon his face before Jehovah, overcome by the Divine Presence, prostrating himself before the glory of God.

The north gate that Ezekiel was taken to was very near the Holy of Holies, so it had to be the north gate of the inner court. We see that Ezekiel was in the near presence of the glory of the LORD, and he was so overwhelmed, that he fell on his face before the LORD.



As Ezekiel went back into the inner court by way of the north gate, he saw the glory of the Lord (cf. see Eze. 1:28) filling the temple of the Lord.
