A time to gather stones:

Today we can build the Third Temple in accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel

Home » Ezekiel » Ezekiel 40


KJV:

1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.

NASB:

1 In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was taken, on that same day the hand of the LORD was upon me and He brought me there.

‫‫‫א  בְּעֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה לְגָלוּתֵנוּ בְּרֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה בֶּעָשׂוֹר לַחֹדֶשׁ, בְּאַרְבַּע עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה, אַחַר, אֲשֶׁר הֻכְּתָה הָעִיר--בְּעֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה, הָיְתָה עָלַי יַד-יְהוָה, וַיָּבֵא אֹתִי, שָׁמָּה.

"The selfsame day" or "that same day" — this expression means Yom Kippur. This is the tenth day from the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month of Tishrei.

The vision of Ezekiel was on the day of the holiday of Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year in Judaism.

Seven Feasts of the LORD

This day could not be chosen by chance: at the very beginning of the book of the prophet Ezekiel, a story is written about how the prophet Ezekiel lay bound in bonds 390 days, and then another 40 days.

If you count from the day indicated at the very beginning of the book of the prophet Ezekiel (Ez. 1:1,2), adding 7 days (Ez. 3:15,16), and adding 390+40 days, you can get a day on the eve of Rosh Hashanah: 4th Tammuz + 7 days + 390 days + 40 days = 28th, 29th or 30th Elul, this is the day before Rosh Hashanah.

390 + 40 days in bonds

So, the beginning of the book of the prophet Ezekiel refers us to the first day of Tishrei, and the last prophecy of Ezekiel sends us to the tenth day of Tishrei.

These ten days are special days: "Aseret Yemai Teshuvah", Ten Days of Repentance. And I want to add: these ten days are meant for the return of the ten lost tribes of Israel.

In accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel (Ez. 43:18-27), during these ten days the altar of the Third (Ezekiel's) Temple should be consecrated.

KJV:

2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.

NASB:

2 In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, and on it to the south there was a structure like a city.

‫‫‫‫ב  בְּמַרְאוֹת אֱלֹהִים, הֱבִיאַנִי אֶל-אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל; וַיְנִיחֵנִי, אֶל-הַר גָּבֹהַּ מְאֹד, וְעָלָיו כְּמִבְנֵה-עִיר, מִנֶּגֶב.

Ezekiel's vision: the Third Temple.

The Lord God showed Ezekiel the place of the future Temple. This verse says three times that the future Temple will not be built in Jerusalem, but in another place.

1. Ezekiel did not recognize the place shown to him.

2. In Jerusalem, there is no high mountain. (In fact, in Jerusalem there are no mountains, the whole city is located on squat hills.)

3. The First and Second Temples were not built on the southern slope of Zion Hill, but on the north.

Looking ahead, we can say that the exact location of the Third Temple is determined on the basis of the prophecy of Ezekiel.

The true location of Ezekiel's Temple:

31°29'N 35°15'E, Judean Desert, Nature Reserve, the southern slope of the mountain with a height of 543 m (according to other sources, 539 m), on the north bank of the stream Nahal Hever. It is about 30 km south of Jerusalem, between Hebron and Ein Gedi. The ruins of the ancient altar, which was built by Abraham in the land of Moriah (not to be confused with the "mountain" of Moriah in Jerusalem), are preserved at that place.

The mountain of Ezekiel's vision.

KJV:

3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew
them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

5 And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, 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.

NASB:

3 So He brought me there; and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand; and he was standing in the gateway.
4 The man said to me, " Son of man, see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and give attention to all that I am going to show you; for you have been brought here in order to show it to you. Declare to the house of Israel all that you see."
5 And behold, there was a wall on the outside of the temple all around, and in the man's hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, each of which was a cubit and a handbreadth. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one rod; and the height, one rod.

KJV:

44 And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
45 And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect
is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
46 And the chamber whose prospect
is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.

NASB:

44 From the outside to the inner gate were chambers for the singers in the inner court, one of which was at the side of the north gate, with its front toward the south, and one at the side of the south gate facing toward the north.
45 He said to me, "This is the chamber which faces toward the south, intended for the priests who keep charge of the temple;
46 but the chamber which faces toward the north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister to Him."

For singers there are balconies from the side of the Temple. Similar balconies on the side of the outer courtyard can be used for the blowing of the shofar. On the first and second floors of these buildings are locker rooms for the Kohanim, with 18 cabins on each floor. If the priestly service is organized in two shifts, morning and evening, then these two buildings will allow 18 Kohanim to serve in the Temple and 18 Kohanim to serve at the altar  in each shift. (see also Ezekiel 42:13,14)

KJV:

47 So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.

NASB:

47 He measured the court, a perfect square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide; and the altar was in front of the temple.

‫‫‫‫‫מז  וַיָּמָד אֶת-הֶחָצֵר אֹרֶךְ מֵאָה אַמָּה, וְרֹחַב מֵאָה אַמָּה--מְרֻבָּעַת; וְהַמִּזְבֵּחַ, לִפְנֵי הַבָּיִת.

The size of the square in front of the Temple is 100 x 100 cubits, which is 48 x 48 meters. In order for the territory to be considered a yard, it is not necessary to enclose a solid wall, rather small posts marking its borders.

48 Then he brought me to the porch of the temple and measured each side pillar of the porch, five cubits on each side; and the width of the gate was three cubits on each side.

NASB:

49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits; and at the stairway by which it was ascended were columns belonging to the side pillars, one on each side.

Here it is necessary to read in accordance with the version of the Masoretic text. The staircase leading to the porch of the Temple has 10 steps. It is very important. Thanks to this, we know the height of the steps and the step width of all the staircase in the Third Temple.

We believe that the height of the floor at the Temple is an integer number of cubits from the level of the courtyard. If this height was 2 cubits, then the height of one step would be 960/10 = 96 mm, it is too small. If this height was 4 cubits, then the height of one step would be 1920/10 = 192 mm, that is too much. The only suitable variant of the floor level height in the Temple is 3 cubits, then the step height is 1440/10 = 144 mm, and this completely suits us: the height of the steps of all the stationary stairs in the temple complex will be equal to 144 mm, and we can determine the step of the stairs from the tables.

In the 3d model of Ezekiel's Temple, I used a step of the ladder equal to 340 mm.

In architecture, it is not recommended to use stairways with an even number of steps. Therefore, the number of steps of the main staircase of the Third Temple is divided into two unequal parts: first there are 9 steps, then there is a landing, and then another step. This option of division was not chosen by chance. The first 9 steps correspond to the 9 commandments of bliss from the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus Christ. The last, separate step corresponds to the commandment of bliss from Daniel 12:12. This verse is directly related to the period of patience of the saints, when the Third Temple will already be built and consecrated.

Ezekiel 40. Ezekiel's Temple. The main staircase of Ezekiel's Temple has 10 steps.
