Bible Question: Is Ezekiels Temple from chapters 40 thru 48, a Future Temple to be built? If so why the Blood sacifices? EZ 40:38-43,40:13,43:18-27 Also in EZ 47:7 GOD said he will dwell there forever. If this was a past temple,they are all gone. |
Bible Answer: Hi unction... There are several views one can take in regard to this passage. 1) Some say this will be fulfilled literally in the millennium kingdom, only that the sacrifices will be as a reminder of Christ's complete sufficient, and perfect sacrifice. 2) Some see it as metaphor, predicting God's presence among His redeemed Spirit filled (born-again) people of the New Covenant promise. 3) Some see it as a prediction of God's presence in the new heavens and new earth. Details in this view are seen as symbols. 4) It is posable that there are both literal and metaphorical/symbolic elements that cannot be described in normal linguistic terms. Regardless of which way we see this (most say very, if not the most difficult) passage, it is in clear view that it describes His holiness, His supremacy, our requirements as to come into His presence i.e. born-again regeneration by His spirit, and honoring and praising God, being of utmost import. Other details of this passage seem rather superfluous to this overlying massage. John |
