~ The Outer Sanctuary Door ~

Then the man brought me back
to the outer gate of the sanctuary,
the one facing east,
and it was shut.
The Lord said to me,
"This gate is to remain shut.
It must not be opened;
no one may enter through it.
It is to remain shut because the Lord,
the God of Israel,
has entered through it.
The prince himself is the only one
who may sit inside the gateway
to eat in the presence of the Lord.
He is to enter by way of the portico of the gateway
and go out the same way."

Then the man brought me by way of the north gate
to the front of the temple.
I looked and say the glory of the Lord
filling the temple of the Lord,
and I fell face down.

(Ezekiel 44:1-4)
