43:1 以後，他帶我到一座門，就是朝東的門。
43:2 以色列上帝的榮光從東而來。他的聲音如同多水的聲音；地就因他的榮耀發光。
43:3 其狀如從前他來滅城的時候我所見的異象，那異象如我在迦巴魯河邊所見的異象，我就俯伏在地。
43:4 耶和華的榮光從朝東的門照入殿中。
43:5 靈將我舉起，帶入內院，不料，耶和華的榮光充滿了殿。
Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing
east. And behold, the glory of the God
of Israel was coming from the east. And the sound of his coming was like the
sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory. And the vision I saw was just like the vision
that I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and just like the vision that
I had seen by the Chebar canal. And I fell on my face. As the glory of the Lord entered the temple
by the gate facing east, the Spirit
lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the
Lord filled the temple.

聖殿不只是一棟建築物，更是要有上帝榮光充滿的地方！舊的聖殿因為失去了上帝的榮光而被毀，因此新的聖殿必須有上帝榮光充滿，才能成為敬拜上帝的地方。也因此，上帝讓先知看見祂的榮光的進入，好確認這聖殿是上帝的居所！
同樣禮拜堂的榮華不在人多，而是要有上帝的同在，充滿上帝的榮光。正如當年以色列人上耶路撒冷過節時，就是要看見上帝的榮光！有上帝的榮光就充滿喜樂，就感受到上帝的賜福！
今天我們到教會禮拜時，我們只是看敬拜團唱唱和跳跳，或是聆聽詩班獻詩，或是聽講道而受感動嗎？不！我們要在禮拜中看見上帝的榮耀，我們的心才會滿足。所以，禮拜不是看人數，也不是看場面，而是要浸潤在上帝的話語中，而感受到上帝的榮耀！
