Ezekiel 40:1-16

From ch. 40. onwards to the end of the book, we consider an entirely new vision that the prophet saw. It takes us to Palestine during the millennium. Israel, restored and gathered together, are again dwelling in safety; the Holy Spirit is poured out upon them (Ezekiel 39:25-29). Now God is pleased to describe His own dwelling place on the earth, in which His glory will again be able to dwell. Just as the LORD had once upon the mountain shown to Moses the pattern of the first tabernacle (Exodus 25:40; Hebrews 8:5), He reveals to Ezekiel by a vision upon another mountain all the details of the future temple. Each of us can take for himself the exhortation of v. 4, "Hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee." The prophet examines in turn the three gates giving access to the outer court. Each gate has the form of a small house, crossed by a central corridor with three rooms opening from it on each side.

We may notice that the measuring reed the guide uses is divided into six units, each of a cubit and a handbreadth (i.e. seven handbreadths), a measure that God alone makes use of! This should teach us to assess all things according to His own standard, that of the Sanctuary.
