And what did Ezekiel see? Measure, measure, measure the Temple. In other words Learn it, learn it, learn it!!! ...and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed. Ezekiel 40:5 Learn the SYMBOLISM of it.
...and went up the stairs
thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, .... And every little chamber
was one reed long, ... and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate
within was one reed..... He measured also the porch of the gate within, one
reed.... Then measured he the porch of the gate,... and the posts thereof,...
and the porch of the gate was inward.... And he measured the breadth of the
entry of the gate, ....and the length of the gate,... He measured then the gate
from the roof.... And there were narrow windows to the little chambers,... And
the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the
length thereof, and the breadth thereof..... After that he brought me toward the
south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and
the arches thereof according to these measures.... and he measured from gate to
gate toward the south an hundred cubits.... and he measured the south gate.....
And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches
thereof, according to these
measures... And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to
these measures... And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and
two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering
and the trespass offering.... And he brought me to the porch of the house, and
measured each post of the porch... Afterward he brought me to the temple, and
measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on
the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.... And the breadth of
the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one
side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof...
So he measured the length thereof... After he measured the wall of the house...
I saw also the height of the house round about..... So he
measured the house..... Also the breadth of
the face of the house... The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length
thereof two cubits.... and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the
LORD..... And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors..... Then he brought me
forth into the utter court, the way toward the north.... Before the length of an
hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits..... and
over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against
gallery in three stories..... Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the
galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the
building..... He measured the east side...
He measured the north side.... He measured the south side... He turned about to
the west side, and measured... He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall
round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a
separation between the sanctuary and the profane place....
Ezekiel 40:6-9,11,13,16,20,24,27-29,35,39,48 & 41:1,2,4,5,8,13,14,22,23
& 421-3,5,16-20
And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me....Now let them put away their whoredom, ... far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever. Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. Ezekiel 43:1-6,9,10
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. Daniel
