Brendaonline.com Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.   6 days the gate will shut, and it will be opened on the 7th day and the day of celebrating the new moon.   And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.    We are told where the prince will be standing, the priest will prepare the sacrifice He will offer, and the prince will worship at the entrance of the gate: then he will go in; the gate will not close until later. (evening) Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths...

Ezekiel 45 "When you divide the land among the tribes of Israel, you must set aside a section for the LORD as his holy portion. This piece of land will be 8 1/3 miles long and 6 2/3 miles wide. The entire area will be holy.  When you build the city, set aside a place for God.  When you build your houses, make sure God has a place where you will meet with Him daily. A section of this land, measuring 875 feet by 875 feet, will be set aside for the Temple. An additional strip of land 87 1/2 feet wide is to be left empty all around it.  God gave us the measurement and wants it to be made exactly as instructed.  God has confidence in men.  Those who pay attention to Him can do what He already knows you can do. Within the larger sacred area, measure out a portion of land 8 1/3 miles long and 3 1/3 miles wide. Within it the sanctuary of the Most Holy Place will be located.  Inside the temple is the sanctuary.  My body is the temple, and the sanctuary is my he...

Brendaonline.com Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.  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.  Ezekiel notices something different when he returned to the place God entered; the gate on the east side was shut.  He saw the gate open and described how God entered; now, he sees that the gate was shut after he was brought back. 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.  God explained to Ezekiel that the prince, who I think is Jesus, will be the only one to access this area that has been closed off. Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the ...

Brendaonline.com Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:  After viewing the measurement of the temple in the city, Ezekiel was taken to the gate that opened toward the east.  We are that city that sits upon a hill and cannot be hidden.   And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.  And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.  And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.  So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.  And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by...

Brendaonline.com Then the man led me out of the Temple courtyard by way of the north gateway. We entered the outer courtyard and came to a group of rooms against the north wall of the inner courtyard.  This structure, whose entrance opened toward the north, was 175 feet long and 87 1/2 feet wide.  One block of rooms overlooked the 35-foot width of the inner courtyard. Another block of rooms looked out onto the pavement of the outer courtyard. The two blocks were built three levels high and stood across from each other.  Between the two blocks of rooms ran a walkway 17 1/2 feet wide. It extended the entire 175 feet of the complex, and all the doors faced north.  Each of the two upper levels of rooms was narrower than the one beneath it because the upper levels had to allow space for walkways in front of them.  Since there were three levels and they did not have supporting columns as in the courtyards, each of the upper levels was set back from the level beneath i...

Brendaonline.com After that, the man brought me into the sanctuary of the Temple. He measured the walls on either side of its doorway, and they were 10 1/2 feet thick.  The doorway was 17 1/2 feet wide, and the walls on each side of it were 8 3/4 feet long. The sanctuary itself was 70 feet long and 35 feet wide.  Then he went beyond the sanctuary into the inner room. He measured the walls on either side of its entrance, and they were 3 1/2 feet thick. The entrance was 10 1/2 feet wide, and the walls on each side of the entrance were 12 1/4 feet long.  The inner room of the sanctuary was 35 feet long and 35 feet wide. "This," he told me, "is the Most Holy Place."  Then he measured the wall of the Temple, and it was 10 1/2 feet thick. There was a row of rooms along the outside wall; each room was 7 feet wide.  These side rooms were built in three levels, one above the other, with thirty rooms on each level. The supports for these side rooms rested on exterior ledg...
