Ezekiel continues his tour of the new temple that appears to him in a vision. No part of it is excluded from him. He even gets to view the Most Holy Place, a room he has been forbidden to see in real life. Remember, Jerusalem has been overrun and decimated. It is in shambles. This vision pictures a new and more elaborate temple that is to be built upon the ruins of the old. This is God’s promise to us. We all rebel and our old temple is condemned and sees destruction. But God promises restoration and renewal. He intends to display his glory in our newness.
LORD, we surrender our shambles to you. Make us new again, and make us a Most Holy Place where you can dwell.
Ezekiel 41-42
