The Temple Area Restored

Ezekiel 40:47-42:20

Then he brought me to the north gate and measured it. It had the same measurements as the others, as did its alcoves, its projecting walls and its portico, and it had openings all around. It was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide. Its portico faced the outer court; palm trees decorated the jambs on either side, and eight steps led up to it.

He brought me to the portico of the temple and measured the jambs of the portico; they were five cubits wide on either side. The width of the entrance was fourteen cubits and its projecting walls were[t] three cubits[u] wide on either side. The portico was twenty cubits wide, and twelve cubits from front to back. It was reached by a flight of stairs, and there were pillars on each side of the jambs.

The main hall had a rectangular doorframe, and the one at the front of the Most Holy Place was  similar. There was a wooden altar three cubits[l] high and two cubits square[m]; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. The man said to me, “This is the table that is before the Lord.”

Then he said to me, “The north and south rooms facing the temple courtyard are the priests’ rooms, where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings—the grain offerings, the sin offerings and the guilt offerings—for the place is holy. 

Why?

It is clear of the size and everything in the Temple for this is a Holy place, so it is described very clear on each corner and room and door.

My faith and worship in the church should be very careful and with honor and right altitude to worship the Lord.

Chap41

量聖殿四周旁屋，殿的尺寸和以前的一樣，神帶我們回到啟初的榮耀

牆壁上彫刻有基路伯

22節：壇

42章： 聖屋： 用於祭司吃祭肉，v14 供職換衣服的地方

v20 量四圍

沒有講到至聖所的金燈台、約櫃等。沒有提到表達的是為了人的需要，神與人關係的需要，神最關心是人的需要及神與人的關係。

度量的人說話： 41:4 這是至聖所   這是耶和華的桌子    當在那裏吃，換衣服     都是為了祭司而建立

耶和華面前的桌子： 是指香壇，代表禱告的地方。至聖所也是禱告的地方。

沒有提到金燈台，陳設桌，因為神已經同在，親自在供應，與神面對面。

強調聖與俗的分別，既然屬神就不要走世俗的道路。

How?

May the Lord and Holy Spirit remind me and show me the way to worship Him. Honor God's holy name,
