Pamphlet 1297 Ezek kc 81-1

  What is the salvation plan
for the rest of the "dead" (the spiritually dead) during the Millennium.

In this 44th chapter of Ezekiel we are in the Millennium
and the Glory of the Lord has just returned to the Inner Court of the Temple
and Jesus Christ has now laid down the Law of the House
to be in effect for all of the Millennium.

And because we will be in the spiritual dimension
He has given specific instructions to the watchmen to "mark well"
and BEHOLD with our eyes "to see"
and HEAR with our ears "to hear"
concerning the ordinances of the house of the LORD,
and ALL the laws thereof.

Pay real close attention to, i.e. mark well,
the "entering in of the house" with "every going forth" of the sanctuary.

Why?

Because they tell us the duties of the Firstborn
and the requirements of the salvation plan
for the rest of the "dead" (spiritually) during the Millennium.

Ezekiel 44:5 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
Our Father has given us a PICTURE of this Millennial temple
and its laws and ordinances that we may see the plan of God in the Millennium.

That we focus on the spiritual
is extremely important to our understanding of these last nine chapters of Ezekiel.

Remember Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 15:50
that flesh and blood cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.

Why?

It is a different dimension than that of the flesh
and much of what lies beyond that veil between the two dimensions
is not even describable in physical, flesh terms.

Here is an example to try and illustrate the point.

In the next chapter we are going to read the following concerning the Priests of the Zadok:

Ezekiel 44:17 And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.

Note to reader: This is why you must study the whole Bible to understand it!

Now in our mind's eye we can SEE and PICTURE white linen garments
but we CANNOT SEE with flesh eyes
what this represents in the Kingdom of God,
beyond the veil in that dimension where everyone will be in their spiritual bodies.

Here is what the linen garments actually are:

Rev. 19:8 And to her [the wife of Christ] was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Can you place a garment on an attitude?

Does love have physical dimensions like length, depth and height?

Can you measure love or the things which are spiritual with a yardstick
or by the cubit or must you use a spiritual reed and a spiritual cubit?

Well, the priests of the Zadok will not actually be wearing linen robes you visualize in your mind,
they will be clothed with righteousness!

You see, your righteous acts are all you can take with you when you die
and enter the spiritual dimension!

Likewise, if the righteous acts of the saints can and will be taken with them,
so can the unrighteous acts of the unrepentant be taken with them!

They will not have white linen garments on, will they?

"I'm sorry, you cannot see the King smelling like that with those filthy rags on."

They are going to need to be "spiritually" CLEANED UP and PURIFIED
and through much SACRIFICE, EARN some linen,
for there shall be nothing unclean that shall enter the eternity,
the Third Earth Age!

Perhaps then we can begin to understand the following measurements of The Altar
and the ordinances concerning the sacrifices which will be described in flesh and blood terminology.

The point is that even as the physical "linen garments"
represent that which is spiritual
so do the animal "sacrifices" described in the rest of this book
represent that which spiritual!
As we resume our study of chapter 43 in verse 13,
remember that these are the words that the Lord is speaking directly to Ezekiel
from within the Inner Court from upon His throne!

We just learned about the Law of the House
and the program to recovery that the "dead" (those who still have mortal souls)
are going to have to follow during the Millennium.

They are going to be taught, by the priests of God,
to DISCERN between the holy and the profane,
between Satan and his ways (liberalism) and Christ and his ways (the laws of liberty).

When you look out across this nation today
you can readily see there is much work to be done
to educate this froward generation who has allowed the beast system
to rear its ugly head in the "One Nation under God".

How ashamed we should be!

Ezekiel 44:23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
All the people who do not learn this will perish in the lake of fire.

Remember we read about some of those educational trips
to the Hamon-gog Memorial Cemetery
and to the Pit Prison to see the man who deceived the nations,
to help them "Learn to Discern", a true Millennium Motto.

They shall learn and practice this for 1000 years
at which time Satan will be let loose for a short season (Rev. 20:3)
and they can decide whether to follow him once again
or remain loyal and prove their love and devotion to their Father.

Their decision at that time will either reap them the reward of eternal life
or a trip into the lake of fire to perish with Satan and be no more!

Also as a reminder of that which we read earlier, during the Millennium we will be under the Law of the House, NOT the Levitical Law and sacrificial laws of blood sacrifice. Whereas the animal sacrifices that were under the old law were foreshadowings of the blood to be shed on Calvary, which eliminated blood sacrifices forever, the animal sacrifices described in these chapters of Ezekiel are foreshadowings of the spiritual sacrifices (of love) that will be made in the Millennium.

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
