Ezekiel 9:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 9:7
"Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth." God commands defiling His own temple with corpses—ultimate reversal. The temple meant to be holy becomes charnel house. This demonstrates that when people defile the sanctuary spiritually through idolatry, God completes the defilement physically through judgment. The permission to defile what should be sacred shows that holiness derives from God's presence and obedience, not from architectural designation. Once glory departs (verse 3), the building is merely stone subject to desecration.
