1 | Wearing the clothes of the Priests? | Lev 19:19 | DocTrinsograce | 193420 | ||
Dear MJH, Since we now have a Priest perfect in every respect (Hebrews 6:19-20), why would any requirement regarding the priesthood of Israel have any bearing on humanity since Christ's ascension? The Levitical priesthood was entirely imperfect and inadequate, only foreshadowing what Christ perfectly and fully fulfills. In Him, Doc |

Howdy Doc, Ezek. 43:18-27 Many say this "prince" is Yeshua in the future temple. I don't have an opinion yet either way - but I do take notice of the fact that there is NO lamb offering being cited. Ezek. 44:1-31 These verses do have much to say about the clothing of the priests (of whom Yeshua is the High Priest). What have you learned about these scenes, Doc? You always have good answers, and I haven't gotten as far as Ezek. in my studies yet. But I don't think I believe that all these chapters are about an imaginary Temple, and because there is no LAMB sacrifice, I think this Temple is a future temple, in the millennium? in Heaven? I'm wanting to know. Shalom Cheri |

Dear Cheri, I really struggle with the idea of some future temple being efficacious in any way for believers. I simply can't buy the whole dispensational thing. There is only one altar: the cross. There is but one mediator: Jesus. God has made his dwelling within the believer, not outside the camp. Those things are so much more powerful than the old Levitical things that foreshadowed them. But I guess, when such things come up, I can only echo Charles Spurgeon: "You will bear me witness, my friends, that it is exceedingly seldom I ever intrude into the mysteries of the future with regard to the second advent, the millennial reign, or the first and second resurrection. As often as we come across it in our expositions we do not turn aside from the point, but if guilty at all on this point, it is rather in being too silent than saying too much." In Him, Doc |

Afternoon, Doc, Thank you, Doc, for answering so quickly. I'm doing an in-depth study of Hebrews and it took me to Ezekiel's temple. This time, I noticed for the first time that the yom kippur sacrifice is noticeably NOT cited among the sacrifices that are mentioned and thought that very interesting (and must be meaningful). I guess if Charles Spurgeon doesn't know what it means, and you don't know what it means - then I'm in very good company :-). Shalom Cheri P.S. I'm not sure what the "doctrine" or "theology" of dispensationalism is, but if it's what I think it is, I don't buy into it either. I used to own a Dake's Annotated and I kinda get the picture of God scratching His head going, "Oops, I didn't see that one coming, let's see what I can do to fix this and get things back on track." (I over-simplified it a bit, I know.) Our God doesn't change. And again: After I'd posted this morning, I read that you had had some surgery. It sounds like you are well on your way to a remarkable recovery!! This is a good report. I will continue to lift you up in my prayers. You are much loved and appreciated, my brother. |

Hey Doc, morning, I'm doing sooo good!!! I attached this to my own previous message duh!!!!! As I mentioned before, I'm doing a study of Hebrews and this verse showed up: Heb. 8:3-4 (4 in particular) For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so this High Priest too has to have something He can offer. (4) Now if He were on earth, He wouldn't be a priest at all, since there already are priests offering the gifts required by the Torah. (I swear the last time I read Hebrews verse 4 wasn't there!!!!) :-) But doesn't that kinda clear up the Ezekiel temple problem? It must be the heavenly Temple that Ezekiel sees. You think? Still hanging in there :-) Cheri |

Hi, Cheri... Well done. That's a plausible interpretation of Ezekiel's temple. Thank you for sharing! In Him, Doc |
