going out the opposite gate

Ezekiel 46:9-10 (JDV)

Ezekiel 46:9 “When the people of the land come before Yahveh at the appointed times, whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship is to go out by way of the south gate, and whoever enters by way of the south gate is to go out by way of the north gate. No one may return through the gate by which he entered but is to go out by the opposite gate.
Ezekiel 46:10 When the people enter, the prince will enter with them, and when they leave, he will leave.

going out the opposite gate

I like this little rule because it demonstrates the fact that encounter with God in worship is designed to change us. We are not to leave the way we came, because we should not be the same people after our encounter with God.
