Ezek 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord: and behold at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men having their backs towards the temple of the Lord, and their faces to the east: and they adored towards the rising of the sun.

God has prescribed the manner in which He is to be worshipped by man. Man's inventions are not only unnecessary, but abominations. This is seen throughout the Bible, starting with Cain's displeasing sacrifice.

What Ezekiel saw and describes here was an abomination - an example of what not to do.

.....And what is it I do ask?

[EC1]

I don’t really recall much about compass directions in the Book of Life, apart from the layout of the Temple (HE took time to write us an instruction manual, how neat is that?!). I do recall we are told to walk the walk, and talk His talk.

To be grateful for what the day brings - He made us tough enough to learn from mistakes. He is also smart enough to know we are going to screw up at times.

If you want to face South while praying - you think He’ll care?

There are detailed instruction for public worship in the OT, with pages and pages about the proper architecture, furnishings, curtains, tapestries, embroidered and bejewelled priestly vestments, carved and ornamented walls and doors, statues of cherubim, golden vessels for the altar, beautiful candlesticks, incense, chanting, etc. This imagery reappears, in a somewhat huger scale,in the visions of Heaven found in Daniel, Ezechiel, and Revelation of St. John.

It appears that truly liturgical worship is approved in Heaven.
