Context
A Desecrated Temple
8:1 In the sixth year , in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month , as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting in front of me, the hand of the sovereign Lord seized me.
8:2 As I watched , I noticed a form that appeared to be a man . From his waist downward was something like fire , and from his waist upward something like a brightness , like an amber glow .
8:3 He stretched out the form of a hand and grabbed me by a lock of hair on my head . Then a wind lifted me up between the earth and sky and brought me to Jerusalem by means of divine visions , to the door of the inner gate which faces north where the statue which provokes to jealousy was located .
8:4 Then I perceived that the glory of the God of Israel was there , as in the vision I had seen earlier in the valley .
8:5 He said to me, “Son of man , look up toward the north .” So I looked up toward the north , and I noticed to the north of the altar gate was this statue of jealousy at the entrance .
8:6 He said to me, “Son of man , do you see what they are doing – the great abominations that the people of Israel are practicing here , to drive me far from my sanctuary ? But you will see greater abominations than these!”
8:7 He brought me to the entrance of the court , and as I watched , I noticed a hole in the wall .
8:8 He said to me, “Son of man , dig into the wall .” So I dug into the wall and discovered a doorway .
