Ezekiel 43:1-6

We have a most interesting account in these few verses. Here is the Lord appearing to the Prophet in a similar glory to what we read of Ezekiel's visions at the first: see Ezekiel 1:26. Coming from the way of the east, seems to be in allusion to the first rise of all things. Hence Jesus is said to be, the bright and morning star. Revelation 22:16. And the wise men, who came to Jerusalem to enquire after Christ at his birth, was led by the light of a star from the East. Matthew 2:2; Revelation 7:2. The Prophet's falling upon his face, is as might be expected. Hiding the face, or falling to the earth, are expressions of great humbleness of soul. Daniel 10:8; Revelation 1:17.
