get ready for a new existence

Ezekiel 42:10-12 (JDV)

Ezekiel 42:10 In the thickness of the wall of the court toward the south, there were chambers facing the house yard and the western building,
Ezekiel 42:11 with a passageway in front of them, just like the chambers that faced north. Their length and width, as well as all their exits, measurements, and entrances, were identical.
Ezekiel 42:12 The entrance at the beginning of the passageway, the way in front of the corresponding wall as one enters on the east side, was similar to the entrances of the chambers that were on the south side.

All of these mundane elements of the second temple vision are preparing us for another vision — a vision within this vision, where the glory of the LORD is going to enter this new temple. And like all Israelite temples, the new temple has a most holy place which neither the people nor the king can enter. Only the high priest. Ezekiel’s people needed to know that no political influence would change that.

Get ready for a new existence empowered and indwelt by God himself.
