the quetion posed is this...
Where does the Ezekiel temple fit in future bible prophecy?
The answer is simple and it is biblical...
IT DOESN'T
How many have really and truely ever studied the passages.
There was a specific calling Ezekiel was given, specific to a certain group, if they were to be faithful, this is what they would have received....
They wer not faithful and even nehemiah speaks of their faithlessness. in exchange for the ezekiel temple, they got the zerubabel temple!
Addtitionally, the ezekiel temple REQUIRES the circumcision of the flesh to enter in, soemthign that makes NOT the new covenant and is repealing all Chrsit did as per Paul and galatians......
Lastly, (for now), Chrsit is NOW building a temple of living stones. the shadow is GONE, never to return EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!1
Chrsit makes his residence in man, not a temple created out of stones..........
There is no reason ever for an ezekiel temple to be............. Teh jews basically screwed up and what was given as an "option" by God to the jews in hte days of Ezekiel, they chose otherwise...
like adam chose otherwise and ate of the wrong tree
As the jews chose otherwise and chose to have laws to governm them instead of faith in YHVH
AS the jews chose to have a ruler over them like the nations.....
All choices....
Circumcision of the flesh is gone, to be circumcised in the flesh is to reject Chrsit, Chrsit does not go backwards to shadow, shadows have been fulfilled.
I f I had the time this morning, I owld offer the complete study and passsages on this, for now, the above ought to offer some material to research, I f I find the study I wrote in my archives sooon, I'll post it.....
The idea of the ezzekiel temple is again, jewish nationalism, it is the leavening of the pharisees.
But he kingdom was TAKEN from them and given to another.
All tha was good in judaism, the harlot, was removed and what was burned to the ground, was the remaining chaff, the remnant wsa removed and did not suffer with her.
