Ezekiel 43:1

Afterward he brought me to the gate, [even] the gate that looketh toward the east:

Ver. 1. Afterwards he brought me.] Non nisi dimenso prius montis ambitu. The prophet saw not the glory of God till he had first seen the mount measured, the temple restored. Men must usually wait upon God in the use of means ere they see the King in his glory.

Even the gate that looketh toward the east.] Men must awake out of the west of wickedness, and stand up from dead courses and companies, if Christ, the Day Star from on high, shall give them light. Eph 5:14 Luk 1:78-79
