EZEKIEL 43: 10-27



The prophet receives a vision of the heavenly temple, which is an exact replica of the tabernacle and temple on earth. When YHVH gave the instructions to Moshe to make the tabernacle and later, when Solomon built the temple, it was with the plan of the heavenly temple that was in mind. When Yeshua died for our sins, He went up to the Heavenlies and placed his own blood on the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant, meaning that our sins are forgiven, erased, and blotted out forever!

One day soon, we will all see that heavenly temple with our new eyes created for eternity. Every piece of furniture, both in the Mishkan (the tabernacle) and the "Beit HaMikdash" (The Temple) points to Yeshua/Jesus.

The Brazen Altar = HIS atoning death and judgment of our sins. The Bronze Lavar = Yeshua the Living Water. The Menorah = Yeshua, the Light of the World. The Golden table of Shewbread = Yeshua, the Bread of Life. The Altar of Incense = Our prayers and HIS mediation between us and the Father. The Ark of the Covenant = His Holy presence forever.


MARK 5:1-6:56

This is when Yeshua heals the man who was possessed by demons. There were one thousand demons inside the body of this man, since demons are in the spirit world, the physical body is not an obstacle, no, they didn't feel “crowded”. And since the demons have to obey the voice of God, they left, and as we read, they went into the bodies of swine.

we can see how far away some Israelites were, from walking in fellowship and obedience to the Torah, since they herded swine, which was and still is, an unclean animal, unsuitable for eating although many Christians believe the contrary. When the swine took a suicide leap from the cliff into the Sea of Galilee, they told Yeshua to “Leave”! Imagine that, telling “God” that he was not welcome in their city. “Hey, you just ruined our business, get out of here!” well, THEY had no business herding and raising pigs, to begin with. Sheep and goats would have been better.

How do we react when God calls our attention to something, do we tell him to “get away from us?” or do we “welcome” his visit and correct our sinful ways? The man who was demonized, now in his right mind wanted to follow Yeshua, yet Yeshua told him; “go and tell what has happened to you to your family and people”

Even though he wanted to follow Yeshua personally, Yeshua sent him on another mission, to “evangelize and be a living witness” He had credibility, since everyone knew him. YHVH sends each and every one of us on special missions to fulfill while we are on earth. He has equipped each and every believer with the gifts of the spirit to fulfill our missions. Let us be faithful to HIM who has provided us with such a blessing as eternal life.


Shalom

Ben Avraham

What you call the 'heavenly temple' of Ezekiel 43 is actually going to be on the earth. Ezekiel 47 reveals God's River of the waters of life will flow out from under that Millennial sanctuary, with the many trees on either side of that River. And its location on earth is given.

Davy, you have no idea. You just keep making things up.

The Ez 47:1-1 prophecy's starting point was the dedication of Solomon's Temple. Do the maths and it will all make sense for you.

Like God's Word says, the Millennial sanctuary during Christ's future reign ON EARTH, will be in the holy lands as written, and that is the River and the trees spoken of in Revelation 22. So I remind my faithful brethren who 'stay' in God's Word as written, and do not listen to the ratchet jaws out there who constantly show their Biblical illiteracy, to do your own Bible study and learn to think with God's help.

Ezek 47:1
47 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold,
waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
KJV

As Ezekiel is led outside the House, he continues to wade in it, and the level of the River keeps increasing until it is a River that cannot be crossed...


Ezek 47:6-12
6 And he said unto me, "Son of man, hast thou seen this?" Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

8 Then said he unto me, "These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

10 And it shall come to pass,
that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

The places of En-gedi and En-eglaim are Old Testament places in the holy lands. These events will include that area in the middle east when Jesus returns.

11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

12
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
KJV

Actually, God's Word shows the Ezekiel temple to be Christ's future Millennial temple for when He will rule over all nations starting at His return.

In the new heavens and a new earth after the "thousand years" reign by Christ, there won't be any temple...

Rev 21:22
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
KJV


That will truly be when the Ezekiel 48:35 verse will come to pass, Hebrew 'Yahaveh Shammah' -- "The LORD is there".
