Bible Question:
Did the temple in Ezekiel's vision ever get built, and what is that all about anyhow? Is Ezekiel's temple the same temple in Revelation and is it gone now? tumbleweed, God's Own |
Bible Answer: The temple in Ezekial's vision was never built. God did not instruct anyone to build it therefore it would be presumptuous and sin to attempt to do so. It would also be impossible. Ez 47:1-12 A river flowed from the sanctuary. trees grew beside it . the trees fruit would never fail and their leaves would never wither. they will bear every month and their leaves will be for healing. Please see Rev 22:2. It is important to acknowledge that these were both visions. A supernatural experience with clear visual and audio experiences. So clear that they were described in detail and at great length. . In these visions the attempt on Gods part is to communicate something from His Spirit to our spirit. That reality that revelation is important in shaping what we believe and what we value and who we are. He will communicate something different to everyone who reads it. One of the most impotant things I take from it is that there is a river of life that flows from the throne of God and from the Lamb. It brings life wherever it goes and the leaves of the trees that grow on its banks are for the healing of the nations. Read Heb 9:11-28 Regarding not only the temple but Jesus as th one true high priest. His body as the sacrafice and His blood as the offering for sin. Jesus Christ the ghreat high priest had to die and be ressurected and then be the only one able to carry his own blood into the holy place for you and me. |
