Abominations In The Temple And In Jerusalem

From his thighs downward there was the appearance of fire, and from his waist upward, there was the appearance of brightness that looked like brass. 3 The form of a hand reached out and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, brought me toward Jerusalem, and in visions that came from God took me through the doors of the inner gate that faced north, where an image that provoked God's jealous anger had been erected. 4 All of a sudden, the glory of the God of Israel was there! It looked like what I had seen back in the valley.
