No. The Jews returning from exile did not even begin to build according to the pattern shown to Ezekiel. So, they should not have expected the results promised to the Jews if they had done so. Eze 43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my...

What's your evidence that fear of death is an act of thinking. Is a gazelle startled by a movement in the bushes nearby and then races off in the opposite direction thinking? or simply instinctively reacting? "Sin nature" occurs 0 times in 0 verses in the KJV. Phusis, translated as nature in...

I agree. Ezekiel was not told to build it. But he was told to give the design to the Jews and they were told by God in Ezekiel's prophecy to carry out its ordinances. I don't think anyone will be carrying out those ordinances regarding sacrifices after Jesus' perfect sacrifice for sins has been...

God told Moses to make it according to the pattern, and God put wisdom in two men to make the components. Why do you say Moses got it wrong? They were commanded not to make images and bow down to the images and serve them. They were commanded to make images that were incorporated into the...

The shekinah glory can't keep birds away? Some God that would be.

I agree with you that it is too late to build that temple now that the Old Covenant is over, and there is no need for animal sacrifices any more. Why would a roof be needed over Ezekile's temple?

I'm not invested in what I am suggesting as a explanation for Ezekiel's vision. I am simply saying "here's another possibility." We are all able to propose theories and put forth what we think is supporting evidence for our theories. Asserting that Ezekiel's vision was of the church, or was of...

We presently have different perspectives on this, MrE. The vision we given to Ezekiel after the destruction of the Solomonic temple and before the construction of the Hasmonean/Herodian temple was built before the Messiah came. I don't see any reason to be certain that Ezekiel's temple was...

The present area of the temple mount is 37 acres. Ezekiel's temple proper covers 17.576 acres, but with environs would need 55.5 acres. So, the Israelites could have begun to build the temple proper described by Ezekiel with the Israelites asking God to somehow increase the temple mount area to...

When we read the Bible, we ask God to help us see in scripture an ever greater revelation of the character and behaviour of Jesus that makes Him more and more worthy in our eyes of our praise, allegiance and service. We don't look for rules to live by. We look for a Person to spend your life...

Eph. 3:8 This divine grace, which is according to the effectual working of His power, was given to me, who am the least of all the saints, so that the unsearchable riches of Christ have been preached, 9 and so that (hina) all men are made to see what is the partnership of the mystery, having...

5.The temple Zerubbabel was supposed to start building by faith that God would somehow bring it to completion.

Homeward bound, brother. Do you ever read your posts back slowly to yourself before pushing <post reply> ? Occasionally your posts scan like normal English. But often the English is very difficult to unravel.

Do you have some affinity for British Israelism?

It eliminates an obstacle. Sins are a product of distrust toward God. Although the provision of amnesty regarding sins is intended to inspire thanks and trust, we still have the freedom to either trust or distrust God. That obstacle we ourselves must choose to cast aside. by putting faith in...

Does the idea that humans, for whom Jesus offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice once for all, would revert back to offering animal sacrifices in the millennium not jar even a little with your heart. God has just lifted up Ezekiel and brought him in the spirit to Jerusalem to show him the...

Yes. Water baptism expresses outwardly our decision to start believing God's word about Jesus internally, just as circumcision in the Old Testament expressed outwardly Abraham's decision to trust God's covenant offered to him. I don't think I yet have an answer from anyone about how Abraham...

Is there a tent of meeting AND a temple like Ezekiel's in heaven? Or did God give a heavenly vision of a tent He wanted built on earth and a heavenly vision of a temple He wanted built on earth?

PaulThomson said: Moses built the tabernacle according to what He was shown and told as well. God showed a tabernacle to Moses. God showed a temple to David. They built them according to the patterns. God showed Ezekiel a temple. The Israelites built something else. I don't understand your...
