This
recollection can be a preparation for the F east of Pentecost (19 May) and I
propose to you a text from the AT that struck and inspired me greatly… One morning I
was still in Jerusalem I was leaving the O ld C ity through the Lions’ Gate and took the
road o n the other side of the Kidron V alley. I was suddenly struck by the scene before
my eyes: the high ramparts where once stood the TEMPLE … and below the deep
Kidron Valley… This view reminded me of Ezekiel’s vision…
