Ezekiel’s Temple

There are days when I read a passage in God’s Word, and I sit back for a few minutes, and think, “Do what?”  Ezekiel’s vision of the temple is overwhelming.  The magnitude of its detail tells me there’s more here than meets the eye, but it either flew way over my head, or ran over me and left me flat.  These are the days when I’m so glad for the internet.

I Googled “Ezekiel’s Temple,” and found this interesting video on YouTube (click the link to go there):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=875azd4PJyg

Unless you have a really fast connection, I would start the video, then pause it and let it buffer for a while before you try to watch it.  The video shows a scale model of the future temple described by Ezekiel.

There is also a very detailed study (with great illustrations) by Paul Jablonowski:  click here Read that one cautiously, but it presents an interesting view of the man of sin in the temple of God.

My impression from today’s reading is that this matters enough to God to go into very fine detail, so, even though it doesn’t seem like it applies to my life today, there has to be truth there worth considering.

If you’re reading through the Daily Walk Bible, today’s passage is Ezekiel 40-43.
