“And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.” Ezekiel 8:4

The vision that Ezekiel saw in the plain is the vision he saw in Ezekiel one of the space shuttle, space station, and space satellites. This is the false god in the high places that gives people their feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and words. “For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregations on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ Isaiah 14:13-14

The glory of God according to the vision in the plain is also mentioned in Ezekiel 3:23-26. Both times, it relates to the glory of God being present at the same time Ezekiel’s vision in chapter one is operating. The verses of Ezekiel 8 contrast the exposure to sensual and sexual desires within the temple of God (as we see in the following verses) with the ability to resist indulging physically in lustful practices. In Ezekiel 3:23-26, the combination of the glory of God with the vision of Ezekiel in chapter 1 relates to coming apart from those who rebel against God. At the same time, the global culture that lives by the entity governing through their thoughts, words, behaviors, and feelings restricts the movement of those who spread the Gospel of Christ. Below are the verses from Ezekiel 3:23-26.

“So I arose and went out into the plain, and behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and spoke with me and said to me: “Go, shut yourself inside your house. And you, O son of man, surely they will put ropes on you and bind you with them, so that you cannot go out among them. I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you will be mute and not be one to rebuke them, for they are a rebellious house.” Ezekiel 3:23-26

The entity of this world, with power over physiology, is able to enflame our most intimate and sensual feelings to the point we do not feel worthy of God’s love. But by the grace, mercy, and love of God we are saved by Jesus Christ, not by our own righteousness. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.” John 6:47

No matter how sinful we are made to feel, keep on believing in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord. “…when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:4-7

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
