Ezekiel 41:1
The Vision of the TempleThis section continues Ezekiel’s vision of the temple. Ezekiel is guided by an angel as he explores the temple’s inner parts. The vision teaches us that if we are faithful in learning and following the basic teachings of God, he will lead us to deeper understanding. The temple in this vision points to Jesus Christ, his church, and all believers, who are called God’s house and living temples. The details show that God’s plan is wide and welcoming, and that his people are meant to grow stronger and more stable in faith as they draw closer to him.v. 1: After seeing the courts, Ezekiel is brought to the temple itself. The doorway is as wide as the whole tabernacle of Moses—twelve cubits. This shows that the way into God’s house is now open and wide, because the old ceremonial laws are gone (Ezekiel 41:1; Exodus 26:16, 22, 25 a).
