Today’s passage: Ezekiel 46
Helpful thoughts:
- Today’s chapter contains instructions for worship on every Sabbath and new moon.
- It might have been tempting to guess that “The Prince” was Jesus Christ, but unless the language here is quite figurative, it can’t be. The Prince will have sons who will inherit his land.
- The returning of land to the possession of the prince and his family is similar to the year of jubilee found in Leviticus 25:10.
- God continues to provide for the priests in the temple through the sacrifices offered (Verses 19-24).
Questions to consider:
- Knowing that the gate to the inner court will be opened (Where the glory of God is), what would be the most exciting thing about going through the temple?
- If that gate faces east, why would it make sense that all who come to the temple would be required to enter from either the north or south and then only be able to exit the opposite gate? What will everyone experience by walking from one side of the temple to the other?
