Ezekiel\u2019s temple is similar to the Tabernacle of Moses and Solomon\u2019s Temple, but different and grander.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is this temple to be actually built during the Messianic Era or Millennium (which is the most common interpretation of this prophetic passage)? Or is this temple <em>not<\/em> a literal temple that will be built, but only figurative and spiritual in nature containing some hidden spiritual message? Bible commentators are uncertain. The Christian commentator Matthew Henry brushes off the vision with a scant commentary giving the following reasoning why: \u201cHere is a vision \u2026 which is justly looked upon to be one of the most difficult portions in all the book of God. When we despair to be satisfied as to any difficulty we meet with, let us bless God that our salvation does not depend upon it, but that things necessary are plain enough; and let us wait till God shall reveal even this unto us.\u201d Not content to leave this issue on Matthew Henry\u2019s spiritual back burner, this author has assembled a series of insightful quotes from scholars who have studied Ezekiel\u2019s Temple in depth and have some thought-provoking ideas as to its spiritual significance that may well spur the reader to examine this subject more thoroughly for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we present some excerpts from some Jewish and Christian commentaries on the subject of Ezekiel\u2019s temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>Soncino Pentateuch<\/em> sees this vision describing a temple that will be built in the New Jerusalem after the return of the exiled Israelites, which occurs when Messiah comes to establish his kingdom on earth. \u201cThis new temple was \u2026 to symbolize and embody in concrete form the teachings of Holiness and Purity preached by the Prophet in the preceding 39 chapters of his book.\u2026 The real hope of the future for Ezekiel lies in perfect and willing obedience to the Law\u201d (p. 350).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The<\/em> <em>ArtScroll<\/em> <em>Chumash<\/em> notes that at the beginning of the Book of Ezekiel the prophet is shown the glory of YHVH departing the Temple in Jerusalem because of all the abominations done therein (Ezek 9 and 10). That Temple became but an empty shell destined for soon destruction at the hands of the Babylonians. \u201cBut [Elohim] removes his Presence from places, not from his people. Throughout Ezekiel\u2019s sad task of warning the nation of the consequences of its waywardness, [Elohim] told him that Israel would remain his people, that he would share their exile, and that he would bring them home again. In the concluding chapters of the book, Ezekiel saw the vision, the architecture, the dimensions, the laws of the Third Temple. Finally, he saw the vision of the Shechinah\u2019s [YHVH\u2019s glorious Presence] return\u2014the same Shechinah whose departure he had tearfully witnessed twenty years earlier\u201d (pp. 1158\u20131159).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The essence of the nine chapters devoted to describing this temple is found in 48:35 where the name of the city is given: YHVH Is There\/YHVH <em>Shama<\/em> (vn\u00d1 vuvh), according to the <em>ArtScroll Tanch Series Ezekiel Commentary<\/em>. The focus of the New Jerusalem is that it is the resting place of the Divine Presence. \u201c[Elohim] wills that there be a New Jerusalem only because he wills that there be a place of welcome for the Divine Presence.\u2026 This Temple is to become the throne and footstool for the Divine Presence (43:7) and, in contrast to the two previous Temples which became defiled\u2014and subsequently destroyed\u2014through Israel\u2019s sins, this one is to stand inviolate. [Elohim] is to dwell in it, never to depart (43:7)\u201d (p. 605).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adam Clarke in his commentary sees a direct correlation between the layout of Ezekiel\u2019s temple and the message of the cross. \u201cThe tabernacle and temple were types of the incarnation of [Yeshua the Messiah]: \u2018Destroy this temple, and after three days I will raise it up;\u2014but this he spoke of the temple of his body\u2019 (John\u202f2:19,21). And in that Temple \u2018dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.\u2019 Into this immaculate humanity did the glory of the Supreme [Elohim] enter; and thus, \u2018[Elohim] was in [Messiah] reconciling the world to himself.\u2019 And this [Yeshua] is Immanuel, [El] with us\u201d (<em>Clarke\u2019s Commentary<\/em>, vol. 4, p. 540).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E.W. Bullinger in his noted <em>Companion Bible <\/em>says of Ezekiel\u2019s Temple or Sanctuary<em>, <\/em>that it is the palace or habitation of the Messiah in connection with \u201cthe city of the great King\u201d (Ps 48:2; Matt 5:35) (Appendix 88, p. 126).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese closing chapters [Ezek 40 through 48] describe the new temple and a new order of worship for Israel. Most important they conclude with the name of the city, [<em>YHVH<\/em>] <em>Is There<\/em>. This is the key for understanding this whole vision of Ezekiel, which is paralleled by Revelation 21:1\u201322:15. As John has an angel guide to show him around his New Jerusalem, so Ezekiel has an angel to explain to him his temple vision. Though scholars vary in their interpretation, the temple is best interpreted symbolically, representing the \u00adworshiping community of the Messiah, during the church age, the Millennium, and climaxing in the world to come\u201d (<em>Spirit Filled Life Bible<\/em>, notes on Ezek 40:1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what is the bottom line here? Will Ezekiel\u2019s Temple literally be built or is it merely metaphorical symbology or both?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ezekiel\u2019s Temple\u2014A Literal Millennial Temple<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are solid biblical reasons to believe that Ezekiel\u2019s temple vision foretells a literal temple that will be built in the future. In <em>Messiah\u2019s Coming Temple\u2014Ezekiel\u2019s Prophetic Vision of the Future Temple,<\/em> by John W. Schmitt and J. Carl Laney, the authors make a compelling case for this being a description of a literal millennial temple. \u201cTaken literally, Ezekiel 40\u201348 describes a temple that will exist during the kingdom (millennial age). Also Ezekiel is not alone in his prediction regarding a future temple; other prophets confirm the view that there will be a literal temple in the future kingdom (Isa 2:3; 60:13; Jer 33:18; Joel 3:18; Mic 4:2; Hag 2:7\u20139; Zech 6:12\u201315; 14:16, 20\u201321)\u201d (ibid. p. 81). Moreover, if we are to believe John\u2019s account of the New Jerusalem\u2019s river of life lined with trees of life (Rev 22:1\u20132), then we must believe that Ezekiel\u2019s similar account is literal as well (Ezek 47:1, 7, 12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who believe that Ezekiel\u2019s Temple is an allegorical representation of this present church age \u201cintroducers unwarranted allegorization and tends to read ideas into the passage rather than drawing out the t ruth that is there. Furthermore, thee is very little that corresponds to the church in Ezekiel\u2019s vision\u201d (ibid., p. 81).<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Understanding the Mystery of Ezekiel\u2019s Temple',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2020\/08\/12\/understanding-the-mystery-of-ezekiels-temple\/',contentID: 'post-17579',suggestTags: 'Ezekiel\\&#039;s Temple',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ezekiel 40\u201348 Ezekiel\u2019s vision of a temple is enigmatic.
