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.
