John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 44:4

"Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and, behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah: and I fell upon my face." — Ezekiel 44:4 (ASV)

Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house, &c.] The north gate of the inward court, where he was brought from the east gate, which was shut: this, and what follow, may have some respect to the churches in these our northern parts of the world, in their now declining circumstances, which are aptly represented in some following verses; but will after this be filled with the glory of the Lord, as follows: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord; as he had seen at the eastern gate, (Ezekiel 43:2Ezekiel 43:4Ezekiel 43:5): and I fell upon my face; as he had done before, under a sense of the greatness and glory of the divine Majesty, and of his own vileness and unworthiness; see (Ezekiel 43:3).
