Ezekiel's Temple
Houly
Is Ezekiel's Temple an actual temple that will be built with his
measurements? Ezekiel 40:5 - Ezekiel 42:20.
The millennial temple.
"the temple. See 1 Kin. 6, 7 to compare with details of
Solomon’s temple. This could not be the heavenly temple since Ezekiel was taken
to Israel to see it (v. 2). It could not be Zerubbabel’s temple since the glory
of God was not present then. It could not be the eternal temple since the Lord
and the Lamb are its temple (cf. Rev. 21:22). Therefore, it must be the earthly
millennial temple built with all of the exquisite details that are yet to be
outlined. measuring rod six cubits long … a handbreadth. The rod extended 6
royal (long) cubits of 21 in. for a total of 10.5 ft., each cubit being made up
of a standard width of 18 in. and a handbreadth of 3 in." MacArthur, J., Jr.

It was meant to be seen by Ezekiel, not built...
Then why all the detail?
You spiritualize everything. I do not. I have a high
view of scripture.

...Preterists,
such as Valiant, must allegorize everything in order to support
their position, even if it appears to be ridiculous, as is his
claim of the temple only meant to be seen by Ezekiel and not a
literal temple to be built.
Our hermeneutics determine how we become convinced
of these things.

Truthfully, I don't know why there will be sacrifices during the
millennial period, since Christ was the ultimate sacrifice...
It's the millennium; but, it's not heaven.
"The offerings (45:18–25; 46:9–15, 19–24): On the
first day of each new year, in the early spring, they are to sacrifice a bull to
purify the Temple."[1]

I voted on the poll and noticed majority voted "no"? What
in the world is going on? The temple is clearly described
in the bible isn't it? hmm?
Now ask the no voters if they believe in replacement theology.
