Ezekiel 43:1-27
Then the man brought me to the gate facing east, and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was radiant with his glory. The vision I saw was like the vision I had seen when he[a] came to destroy the city and like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown. The glory of the Lord entered the temple through the gate facing east. Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
Now let them put away from me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will live among them forever.
Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.
Then he said to me, “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: These will be the regulations for sacrificing burnt offerings and splashing blood against the altar when it is built: You are to give a young bull as a sin offering to the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok, who come near to minister before me, declares the Sovereign Lord. You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar and on the four corners of the upper ledge and all around the rim, and so purify the altar and make atonement for it. You are to take the bull for the sin offering and burn it in the designated part of the temple area outside the sanctuary.
On the second day you are to offer a male goat without defect for a sin offering, and the altar is to be purified as it was purified with the bull.
For seven days you are to provide a male goat daily for a sin offering; you are also to provide a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without defect. For seven days they are to make atonement for the altar and cleanse it; thus they will dedicate it. At the end of these days, from the eighth day on, the priests are to present your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar. Then I will accept you, declares the Sovereign Lord.”
Why?
The glory of the Lord returned to the Temple, so the Lord asked Ezekiel to clean the Temple and tell him the regulations to clean the altar and make it Holy.
Because the Isreal and their kings had sins against the Lord so the Lord left them, Not, the Lord returned to them for the love of the Lord still came upon His peoples. God is Holy so all his people who follow him have to live in Holy either.

耶和華的榮耀回到以色列人當中，恢復與人的關係。人也願意重新奉獻自己。從11章到43章都在責備以色列人。耶和華回來，有聲音，地發光，如聖誕節的光線，吸引人的現象。
神的榮耀充滿聖殿後，人要如何回應呢?1)悔改： 因自己的罪慚虧 2)人必須積極遵行神的道。量殿的尺寸，遵照殿的一切規則、典章 3)奉獻： 4)出入之處的路： 就是耶穌基督 5)敬拜是按著神的法則來敬拜，用真理在靈裏敬拜（用心靈和誠實）。6)殿在山頂上，最高的位置，四圍是屬神的，分別出來。
重新為祭司、利未人來除罪。撒鹽代表永不改變的心願。
重新反省、思想、把自己奉獻給神！
-----------------
How?
Let me away from this world and come close to the Lord, for the Lord is Holy. May the Holy Spirit remind me and help me.
