Ezekiel 43: 2 and, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east; and His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth did shine with His glory.

Ezekiel 43: 3 And the appearance of the vision which I saw was like the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city; and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

Ezekiel 43: 4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

Ezekiel 43: 5 And a spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

Ezekiel 43: 6 And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me.

Ezekiel 43: 7 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, this is the place of My throne, and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever; and the house of Israel shall no more defile My holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their harlotry, and by the carcasses of their kings in their high places;

The Tanach

STARTLES AT DESTRUCTION;" - mere pomp of words! - but that I feel some generous joys and generous cares beyond myself; - all comes from thee, great - great SENSORIUM of the world! which vibrates, if a hair of our heads but falls upon the ground, in the remotest desert of thy creation. - Touch'd with thee, Eugenius draws my curtain when I languish - hears my tale of symptoms, and blames the weather for the disorder of his nerves.
