Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

0:07.0

Today we continue with Ezekiel's vision tour of a new temple design, but instead of the whole place being empty, today we get to see it being filled with people and their jobs and even with Yahweh himself.

0:24.7

But before we jump in, just a reminder that this section of scripture, Ezekiel 40 through 48,

0:29.9

is one of the most challenging for commentators. So take it easy on yourself if you're having

0:34.3

a hard time with this. Even Bible scholars find it difficult. And take it easy on me if we happen to

0:39.1

disagree on any points. Remember back in chapter 10 when God's presence left the temple on his

0:44.4

chair of him chariot and headed east to Babylon? Today in Chapter 43 we see

0:49.0

him returning the same way he left through the Eastern Gate. When he sees this Ezekiel falls on his face in worship,

0:56.1

but then the spirit lifts him up again, as is his way, and takes him from the outer court to the

1:00.9

inner court where Ezekiel hears God speaking to him from inside

1:04.5

the temple. In the layout of the temple complex the outer courts are very large, the

1:09.5

inner courts are smaller, the holy place is smaller and the most holy place, the holy of holies, where God's

1:14.3

manifest presence dwells in his most saturated form is the smallest of all.

1:19.7

You may wonder why God's room is the smallest, why he doesn't get the most square footage.

1:24.2

But as we know, he's actually everywhere, so he does.

1:27.1

He's in dimensions we haven't even accessed yet, so we don't have to worry about him being

1:30.8

confined to a 900 square foot space. And on top of that, there's some meaningful

1:35.7

symbolism in this layout. It corresponds to what we talked about yesterday with

1:39.5

the separation of the Holy and the Common. We'll talk a little more about that in a few minutes.

1:44.0

When God speaks to Ezekiel, he tells him to do two main things.

1:48.0

First, write down all the dimensions of this temple and then tell the people about it because it will humble

1:53.4

them. Second, write down all the laws God gives and command the people to obey them.
