The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east.
Ezekiel 43:4 NIV
In the time of Ezekiel, when God's glory entered the temple, we read that the glory of the Lord came through the gate facing east.
There was another time when the glory of the Lord entered Jerusalem, and the temple, through the gate facing east. That time was when Jesus was riding on a donkey on Palm Sunday. Jesus rode down the Mount of Olives, a fairly impressive hill that is located east of Old Jerusalem.
One can reflect on how unchanging and consistent God is, for his path of entry into the temple area did not change between the entrance at the time of Ezekiel and the time of Jesus.
How are you encouraged by God's unchanging nature?
Are you committed to telling the story?
