Eze 42:15-19 | MHM | STEP | The Vision of the Temple This part of Ezekiel’s vision shows how large and special the area around the temple is. The angel measures not only the temple but also the land around it. This teaches us that God’s house is meant to be open and welcoming to many people, especially in the time of the gospel when people from all nations are invited. At the same time, there must be a clear difference between what is holy and what is common, showing respect for God’s presence. v. 15-19 : After finishing the measurements inside the temple, the angel leads Ezekiel out and measures the area around the temple. Each side is 500 reeds long, which is very large—about a mile each way. This shows that God’s church is meant to include people from all over the world, just as the prophets said that the nations would come to worship God (Ezekiel 42:15-19; Isaiah 49:18 ; Isaiah 60:4 ).
