Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
Then he brought me through the north gate to the front of the temple. I looked up and, wow, God's glory completely filled the entire place. I literally couldn't stand up anymore and just fell face-first to the ground.
When you actually see God's presence, your only response is to hit the floor in awe.
