Bible Question: In Ezekiel chapter 47, what temple is being referred to? Is the river anywhere near Mt. Sinai?

Bible Answer: This passage is not talking about a physical location in the Sinai but rather is ether symbolism or a view into the future.
Some believe what is revealed to Ezekiel here is the same thing as was revealed to John in Revelation 21 and 22. If you read the passage you will see a very definite likeness in both accounts.
J Vernon McGee and others believe it is more symbolic with the river representing the blessing of God flowing from His throne.
A third idea is this is the picture of Tabernacle in heaven we know Moses was shown the tabernacle in Heaven to use as model for the earthly one. Perhaps this is verbal description of Ezekiel's view into the heavens.
