Today’s Bible Translation Bible translation used in today’s episode: Ch. 43-47 NKJV Associate Producer Chase Jacobson Podcast Introduction Today is Prophecy Friday, and we’ll complete the book of  Ezekiel with the reading of chapters 43-48. I’m calling the episode “The Future Temple.” Design: Jason Paschall | Photo: Amos Bar-Zeev on Unsplash Comments on Ezekiel 43-48 These chapters are rich in detail, so I will only touch on a few generalities. Because of the level of detail given, the temple that Ezekiel describes appears to be one that will certainly be built at some time in the future…Ezekiel’s future and ours. To this date, this temple has not yet been built. The measurements are unlike any others. Nowhere in the description of the temple are there instructions to build it, as there was with previous temples. The measurements given are the measurements that were taken of this already existing temple in Ezekiel’s vision. Thus, it is more than likely that God Himself is the builder, and that this temple is the temple that will exist in the Millennial Kingdom during Jesus’ thousand year reign on Earth after his second coming. The identity of the prince who is spoken of is not made explicitly clear. There are some who think it is David. Others believe it is Jesus.  Ezekiel 45:22 says that the prince must make a sin offering. Ezekiel 46:16 says the prince has sons. So in my estimation, the prince is not Jesus. Ezekiel 37:25 says that David would be a prince over Israel, along with several other verses in Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Hosea. From these verses, it appears more than likely that the prince will indeed be David.  To me, the most exciting thing about these last chapters in the book of Ezekiel is that this is something that those of us whose trust is in Jesus will actually see this temple, in all of the splendor described in its pages. We will see God’s glory in this place, and hear His voice. How marvelous and awe inspiring that will be! Support This a value for value podcast.
