My Note: The Zadok Ref. Scripture Ezekiel 44:15-16 & 23
Israel
to be restored and converted.
(no
silly, not that little country in the middle east called Israel)
Ezekiel 39:25 Therefore
thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob,
and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for
my holy name;
26 After that they have
borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed
against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I have brought
them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands,
and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28 Then shall they know
that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity
among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have
left none of them any more there.
29 Neither will I hide
my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house
of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Remember,
What we read in the closing Millennial Chapters of the Book of Ezekiel
is spiritual, not physical.
The
physical examples given are only used to help you see and understand what
will happen in the spirit!
Ezekiel 40:5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about,...
We know that the Glory of God is returning to the temple, even Jesus Christ, but the "spiritually dead" cannot partake of that "Tree of Life" until after the 1000 years is finished. Thus, there will be a "wall" between them and Christ (See Ezek. 43:8 now or wait until we get there.). In other words, those who were not part of the first resurrection cannot approach Christ and receive eternal life until the time of second resurrection, the Great White Throne Judgment.The very fact alone that a "Temple" will once again be set up should tell us that, shouldn't it? Remember, after the lake of fire and the city of New Jerusalem comes down out of heaven, there will be no temple therein: Rev. 21:22 "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Right now, during this dispensation
of grace, when many do not even believe that God exists, all who WILL can
approach Christ and enter the Holy of Holies, but during the Millennium
that will not be the case. For everyone SHALL KNOW that He is Lord, for
they shall see His Glory, but they must "learn" and "want" of their own
free will to follow Him and His ways and not Satan and his ways. They will
have NO CHOICE but to learn and follow His ways during the Millennium.
(That's where we will see the Zadok and the saints of the 1st Resurrection
come in.) After that, Satan will be released for a short season when they
can PROVE on their own whether they still want to or not! THEN... the judgment!
Let's complete verse 5.
To understand this verse and its profound significance, one must know that a cubit is made up of 6 hand breadths. But LOOK, the cubit used here has an ADDED hand breadth, a SEVENTH one! The number "7" in Biblical Numerics means "Spiritual Perfection" (see appendix 10 in the Companion Bible). Since the reed used here is one seventh larger than that used in Solomon's Temple, this gives the Millennium Temple an ADDED DIMENSION and that dimension and the measurements thereof are SPIRITUAL. Behold? (Remember, we are in the Lord's Day, the Sabbath Day, the 7th Day, and we are all in our spiritual bodies.)[5... continued] and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
Scripture: Ezekiel 44:15
But
the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my
sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they
shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before
me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
16 They shall enter into
my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me,
and they shall keep my charge.
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.
Complete text:Ezekiel 44:1 ¶Then he
brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh
toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Then said the LORD unto me; This gate
shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it;
because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it
shall be shut.
3 It is for the prince; the prince, he
shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way
of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
4 ¶Then brought he me the way of the
north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the
LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
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.
6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious,
even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel,
let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary
strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in
my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the
fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your
abominations.
8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine
holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart,
nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger
that is among the children of Israel.
10 ¶And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when
Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they
shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge
at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay
the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand
before them to minister unto them.
12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and
caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted
up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their
iniquity.
13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of
a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most
holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which
they have committed.
14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for
all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
15 But the priests the Levites, the
sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of
Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto
me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood,
saith the Lord GOD:
16 They shall enter into my sanctuary,
and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall
keep my charge.
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.
18 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall
have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with
any thing that causeth sweat.
19 And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the
utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they
ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other
garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks
to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
21 Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into
the inner court.
22 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that
is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel,
or a widow that had a priest before.
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.
24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they
shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and
my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves:
but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother,
or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven
days.
27 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the
inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,
saith the Lord GOD.
28 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance:
and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
29 They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and
the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every
oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's:
ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may
cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
31 The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself,
or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
We
are about to see Ezekiel carried "in vision" to the land of Israel and
shown that glorious sanctuary of the Millennium #1290
God
has unique ways of revealing His truth to us. [You Better Pay Attention]
#1291,
There
will be a WALL around the Temple (that true temple being Christ) all during
the Millennium.#1292,
Learn
what the various peoples will be doing during the 1000 year Millennium.
#1293,
What
will be happening spiritually during the Millennium. #1294,
When
this flesh age is over and Jesus Christ returns, the dispensation of grace
also ends #1295a,
There
were Palm Tree decorations everywhere. #1295b,
What
is the Plan of God for the final 1000 years commonly called the Millennium,
which precedes the Great White Throne Judgment and the entering into the
Third Earth Age, the age of eternal happiness? #1295c,
Now
Jesus is going to speak directly to Ezekiel from the Inner Court as the
angel stands by him. #1296,
What
is the salvation plan for the rest of the "dead" (the spiritually dead)
during the Millennium. #1297,
Ezekiel
43:13 is one of those verses that if you glance over or miss the key phrase
in it, then you will probably read the remainder of this chapter and the
next two chapters without much understanding of what we are to learn. #1298,
When
the Millennium is over the "dead" (those alive with mortal souls during
the Millennium) will be judged according to their WORKS, #1299,
What
we are seeing here in the sacrifices we are about to read of, is an analogy
representing that which is spiritual. #1300,
Is
everyone who claims to be a Christian going to be able to enter the kingdom
and sit at the feet of Jesus during the Millennium?
#1301,
The
spiritually dead must remain that way [spiritually dead] for 1000 years
during the Millennium (Rev. 20:5) #1302,
It
is too bad that so many Christians have such a weak and uninspiring concept
of what heaven and the eternity has in store for those who love and serve
God. #1303,
What
a blessing it will be indeed for those who are part of the First Resurrection.
#1304
You
see, the entire vast universe, plumb full of awesome fun filled galaxies,
was created for God's pleasure, and His pleasure is to give it to His sons,
who overcome and love Him, as their INHERITANCE! #1305,
Are
you a "watchman"? Do you eat your "daily bread"
from the table of the Lord? If so, you know
that we have been instructed to "WATCH" in this final generation. #1305b,
God's
Word contains a great deal of information, especially in these last nine
chapters of Ezekiel, about what will be happening during the soon coming
1000 year reign of Jesus Christ. #1305c
For
many, worshipping God is something they do just on the weekend. #1306,
The
"Dead Sea", symbolic of "dead spiritual waters" that nothing can live in,
shall be healed. #1307,
Do
you know where David's throne is today? #1308,
So
what about it? Are you going to wait until the Millennium to drink from
the water of life, or are you thirsty now? #1309,
The
Spirit of God will flow from the throne of the LORD like a grand river
all through the Millennium. #1310,
Kind of reminds one of a picture of Paradise, doesn't it?
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.
