Ezekiel's Vision Of The 3rd Temple.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the
ETERNAL's house shall be established in the top of the mountains,
and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto
it. (Isaiah 2:2)

(Ezekiel 47:22)[1] (TLB) Son of dust, describe the Temple I have shown you to the people of Israel. Tell them its appearance and its plan so they will be ashamed of all their sins. And if they are truly ashamed of what they have done, then explain to them the details of its construction, its doors and entrances, and everything about it. Write out all the directions and the rules for them to keep.

This model of the Millennial Temple is a study concerning the vision that was shown in tremendous detail to Ezekiel over 2,500 years ago. To date, this temple has not yet been constructed, but Scripture indicates that our generation will see it built in the land of Israel. The most exciting thing about this temple is that the glory of the ETERNAL will be there, which is why the city is called Yahweh Shamah (The ETERNAL is There). The knowledge of His Glory in this temple will cover the earth like the waters cover the sea, and He shall reign over all the earth headquartered in this temple!

Since this is strictly a study of Ezekiel's vision of the temple (Ezekiel 40-48), we will not speculate about what this temple may be like, and only address the things that were shown specifically to Ezekiel. For example: there may be furniture in this temple similar to what was in the other temples (such as the Menorah, Table of Showbread, Ark of the Covenant, etc.). However, since these details were not shown to Ezekiel we will not address them in this study. It is a good thing to search the ETERNAL's Word for those answers, but the bottom line concerning daily life during the millennium and the restoration of His knowledge, is that we need to wait for His return as both (Micah 4:1-3) and (Isaiah 2:2-4) declare.

This section will show eight different areas of the temple as given in Ezekiel's vision, of the model above. Each photo is labeled with numbers which coordinate with a brief explanation of the main components of the temple listed underneath the photo. Links will be made to the specific verses in Ezekiel throughout this study so the reader can understand the components being discussed.

Temple Floor Plans
This section gives the measurements and details of the: Sanctuary (Figure 1), Gateways (Figure 2), Altar of Sacrifice (Figure 3), Priest's Chambers (Figure 4). The only measurements shown in these diagrams are the ones specifically given in (Ezekiel 40, Ezekiel 41, Ezekiel 42, Ezekiel 43:13-27, and Ezekiel 46:19-24). Ezekiel gives all measurements for this temple in cubits. Therefore, all dimensions in these floor plans are given in cubits. One cubit equals 21 inches according to most accounts, so I will use that dimention here. (However, some history books record it at 18 inches).
The Sanctuary (Top View) Figure 1. One cubit = 1.75 feet. To get any dimention in feet, multiply it by 1.75. For example, the inner court wall is shown to be 6 cubits thick. (So, 6 cubits * 1.75 ft = 10.5 feet).

Millennial Temple Order of Service

Since there is going to be a physical temple built in the land of Israel, as the book of Ezekiel expressly shows, then there demands an order of service for what needs to be done in this temple. These ordinances, statutes and laws are specifically written out in the chapters of (Ezekiel 43-46), and will now be shown in this section in the order written in Ezekiel:

Section 1) Specifies the ordinances for Consecrating the Altar. (Ezekiel 43:18-27).
Section 2) Specifies the laws of Admittance into the Temple. (Ezekiel 44:1-9).
Section 3) Shows the Ordinances for Ministers of the Temple. (Ezekiel 44:10-31).
Section 4) Discusses laws of Economics in the Temple. (Ezekiel 45:9-14).
Section 5) Specifies the Ordinances for the Prince. (Ezekiel 45:13-16).
Section 6) Discusses the Worship System in Keeping the Feasts. (Ezekiel 45:17-46:15).
Section 7) Discusses the Preparation of Offerings. (Ezekiel 46:19-24).

(Ezekiel 43:11-12) (AMP) Son of man, show the temple by your description of it to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure accurately its appearance and plan. And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the form of the temple and the arrangement of it; its exits and its entrances and the whole form of it; all its ordinances and all its forms and all its laws. And write it down in their sight so that they may keep the whole form of it and all the ordinances of it and do them. This is the law of the house [of the ETERNAL]: The whole area round about on the top of the mountain [Mount Moriah] shall be most holy, separated, and set apart. Behold, this is the law of the house [of the ETERNAL].

1) Consecrating The Altar (Ezekiel 43:18-27). (See reference #28, The Altar Of Sacrifice).

The sacrifices to consecrate the altar involve an eight day process:

Day 1:
Bull of the Sin Offering - blood is placed on: the four horns, the corners of the ledge and rim around it. Then burn the bull in the appointed place of the temple.
Day 2:
The altar is cleansed in the same way as the bull above, but also with: A kid of goats for a sin offering; A young bull for a burnt offering with salt; A young ram for a burnt offering with salt.
Day 3-7:
The same process is done as on day 2 to make atonement for the altar, purify and consecrate it.
Day 8:
The priests can now offer the people's burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar and the ETERNAL will accept the offerings.

The Psalmist realized that it was not animal sacrifices or grain offerings which was the ETERNAL's final purpose, but rather having the ETERNAL's law within our hearts (Psalm 40:6-8). Micah also realized this when he wrote:

(Micah 6:6-8) (AMP) With what shall I come before the ETERNAL and bow myself before the SOVEREIGN on high? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the ETERNAL be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the ETERNAL require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your CREATOR?

2) Admittance Into The Temple (Ezekiel 44:1-9)

(Ezekiel 43:4) (LEB) And then the glory of the ETERNAL came to the temple by the way of the gate facing east.

Because the ETERNAL enters the temple by the eastern gateway, no man shall enter the temple by this gate, but it shall be closed (Ezekiel 44:2). The 'Prince' [King David] is the only one who is allowed at certain times to enter into this eastern gateway by the vestibule of the gateway to sit and eat bread before the ETERNAL. The Prince will be discussed further in section 5) Ordinances for the prince. Everyone else must enter by either the northern or southern gates and, 'whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate; and whoever enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall go out through the opposite gate. The prince shall then be in their midst'. (Ezekiel 46:9).

(Ezekiel 44:9) (NASB) Thus says the ETERNAL CREATOR, 'No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, of all the foreigners who are among the sons of Israel, shall enter My sanctuary'.

The ETERNAL told Ezekiel, 'mark well who may enter the house and all who go out from the sanctuary'. He then explains to Ezekiel the abominations that Israel has done in the past by allowing 'foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and flesh' to be in His house and therefore defile it and break His Covenant. Therefore, the only people allowed into the temple will be those who are circumcised not only physically, but spiritually as well. In other words, only those who obey ALL His ordinances, statutes and laws.

3) Ordinances For Ministers Of The Temple (Ezekiel 44:10-31)

(Psalms 24:3-6) (EXB) Who may go up on the mountain of the ETERNAL [Zion, the location of the Temple]? Who may stand in his holy Temple [place]? Only those with clean hands and pure hearts [innocent in actions and thoughts], who have not worshiped idols [lifted their souls to false things], who have not made promises in the name of a false 'god' [or deceitfully]. They will receive a blessing from the ETERNAL; the SOVEREIGN who saves [rescues; delivers] them will declare them right [vindicate them]. They try to follow the ETERNAL [This is the generation/people of those who seek him]; they look to the SOVEREIGN of Jacob for help [search for your face, O SOVEREIGN of Jacob]. Selah [Interlude].

Although all saved or redeemed people will be allowed to enter the temple, not every person is allowed to minister in the inner court or in the Sanctuary. The Levites will be the ones who are called to be in charge of the temple. And not all Levites will have the same duties, rather the Levites will be broken up into:

a) Gatekeepers,
b) Ministers of the House (Nethinim)
c) Priests.

The 'Prince' [King David] will also have ministering duties which will be discussed later. A brief description for the services of these three types of Levites is listed below:

a) Gatekeepers:
The Levites who went astray from the ETERNAL after idols will be gatekeepers of the temple. They will not be allowed to enter the Holy of Holies or come near any of the ETERNAL's holy things. There are six main gateways in the Millennial Temple. (Click here to see a closeup of a gateway) Each gateway has six gate chambers with windows in each gate chamber. Because the knowledge about the ETERNAL's glory in this temple will cover the earth, many people will be coming here from all over the world to seek the Redeemer of Israel and His glory.

b) Ministers of the House (Nethinim):
The Levites who went astray from the ETERNAL after idols will also be the ministers of the temple. They will slay the burnt offerings and the people's sacrifices. They will stand before the people to minister to them, but they will not be allowed to enter the Holy of Holies or come near any of the ETERNAL's Holy things. They will be responsible for keeping charge of the temple, for all its work and for all that has to be done in it.

b) Priests):
Certain Levites shall be the temple Priests. These will be known like the "sons of Zadok" who were faithful to the ETERNAL when all of Israel went astray. They will offer to the ETERNAL the fat and the blood of the sacrifices. They will stand before the ETERNAL and enter His sanctuary to come near to the ETERNAL and minister to Him. Ezekiel lists several laws and ordinances which concern the priests:

They shall wear linen garments (turbans on their heads and trousers on their bodies) when entering the inner sanctuary. They shall not wear any wool or anything causing them to sweat. Then they shall leave these garments in the holy chambers when leaving to sanctify the people.
They shall keep their hair well trimmed (not shaved or long).
They shall not drink wine when entering the inner court.
They shall not have a wife who is divorced or widowed (unless she is a widow of a priest), but rather take virgins of Israeli descent.
They shall teach people the difference between the holy and unholy and discern between the clean and unclean.
They shall stand as judges in controversy.
They shall not defile themselves by coming near a dead person, (except for father, mother, son or daughter, brother or unmarried sister). After he is cleansed, count 7 days and offer a sin offering for him in the sanctuary and then he may continue to minister before the ETERNAL.
They shall have no land possession in Israel 'for I, the ETERNAL, am their possession'.
They shall eat the grain, sin, and trespass offering. Every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
They shall receive the best of every sacrifice or firstfruits offering.
They shall not eat any bird or beast that died naturally or was torn by wild animals.

(Ezekiel 44:30) (AMP) And the first of all the firstfruits of all kinds, and every offering of all kinds from all your offerings, shall belong to the priests. You shall also give to the priest the first of your coarse meal and bread dough, that a blessing may rest on your house.

4) Economics In The Temple (Ezekiel 45:9-14)

(Ezekiel 45:9-12) (AMP) Thus says the ETERNAL CREATOR: That is enough for you, O princes of Israel! Stop the violence and plundering and oppression [that you did when you were given no property], and do justice and righteousness, and take away your exactions and cease your evictions of My people, says the ETERNAL CREATOR. You shall have just weights on your scales and just measures; both a just ephah measure and a just bath measure. The ephah and the bath measures shall both be the same size, the bath containing one tenth of a homer and the ephah one tenth of a homer; the standard measure shall be the homer. And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs; twenty shekels and twenty-five shekels and fifteen shekels shall be your maneh.

Just like the previous temples were economic centers, the Millennial Temple will also serve as an economic center where the trading standards will be established with justice. The ephah is the unit of measure for dry products such as grain or wheat or flour. The bath is the standard unit of measure for liquid products such as milk or oil. The shekel is the standard unit of measure in weight for precious metals such as gold or silver. The following chart shows these units of measure with their larger and smaller units of measurement.

Biblical Trading Standards
	Smallest Unit	Small Unit	Large Unit	Largest Unit
Liquid Measure	Log  (1/3 quart)	Hin  (1 gallon)	Bath  (6 gallons)	Cor/Homer/Koros  (60 gallons)
Dry Measure	Xestes  (1 1/6 pints)	Omer  (2 quarts)	Ephah  (6 gallons)	Cor/Homer/Koros  (60 gallons)
Precious Metal Weight	Gerah  (1/50 ounce)	Shekel  (2/5 ounce)	Mina  (1.25 lbs.)	Talent  (75 or 88 lbs.)
The ephah is the unit of measure for dry products such as grain or wheat or flour. The bath is the standard unit of measure for liquid products such as milk or oil. The shekel is the standard unit of measure in weight for precious metals such as gold or silver.

It is exciting to know that when the governments of the nations rest upon the shoulders of King David, that the global economy will be established with the ETERNAL's order, justice, and righteous judgment, from this time forth even forever! Those priests and princes who will rule with King David, will be like Him in that they: "shall delight in the fear of the Lord. They shall not judge by the sight of their eyes, nor decide by the hearing of the ears; but with righteousness they shall judge the poor, and decide with EQUITY for the meek of the earth". (Isaiah 11:1-11).

5) Ordinances For The Prince (Ezekiel 45:13-17; Ezekiel 46:16-18)

The prince is given many privileges and duties in the Millennial Temple, and Scripture seems to imply that the resurrected King David will be the prince in this temple, not some self-proclaimed 'savior', who commited suicide gave his life so everyone's sins can be forgiven. It's time to set the record straight! In the context of the end of the age, or the millennial reign, when Israel is gathered back together in their original land, it is the ETERNAL who will make a covenant of peace with them, not some self-proclaimed false 'savior' with his equally false 'new covenant' pack of lies:

(Ezekiel 37:24-28) (ESV) My servant David shall be King over them, and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall walk in My rules and be careful to obey My statutes. They shall dwell in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children's children shall dwell there forever, and David My servant shall be their prince forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their SOVEREIGN, and they shall be my people. Then the nations will know that I am the ETERNAL who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.

The Almighty ETERNAL CREATOR and SOVEREIGN of the universe names nanes. Nothing is ambigous. How many times must you read it, before you believe it:

(Ezekiel 34:23-24) (ESV) And I will set up over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. And I, the ETERNAL, will be their SOVEREIGN, and My servant David shall be prince among them. I am the ETERNAL; I have spoken.

(Jeremiah 30:9) (ESV) But they shall serve the ETERNAL their CREATOR and David their King, whom I will raise up for them.

(Hosea 3:4-5) (ESV) For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or household 'gods'. Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the ETERNAL their CREATOR, and David their King, and they shall come in fear to the ETERNAL and to his goodness in the latter days.

It is interesting to note, that nowhere is there mention of a so-called 'son of god'. It is King David who possesses ALL of the titles, 'Prince', 'King', and 'Shepherd'. It will most decidedly not be a 'man from Galilee'!

David, the prince, will be responsible for giving special burnt offerings and peace offerings at the celebrations of each weekly Sabbath, monthly New Moons (beginning of each month), and all the yearly appointed feasts of the ETERNAL:

(Ezekiel 45:13-17) (ESV) This is the offering that you shall make: one sixth of an ephah from each homer of wheat, and one sixth of an ephah from each homer of barley, and as the fixed portion of oil, measured in baths, one tenth of a bath from each cor (the cor, like the homer, contains ten baths). And one sheep from every flock of two hundred, from the watering places of Israel for grain offering, burnt offering, and peace offerings, to make atonement for them, declares the ETERNAL CREATOR. All the people of the land shall be obliged to give this offering to the prince [David] in Israel. It shall be the prince's duty to furnish the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the new moons, and the Sabbaths, all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement on behalf of the house of Israel.

So here we get to the crux of of the matter, and the core truth that is hidded from everyone, by every means possible. Through untruths, deceptions, falsehoods, misunderstandings, and even, every day plain old 'spit in your face' lies. Here is the pivital truth that nobody who's job is it to feed the sheep of their flocks [priests, ministers, evangalists, popes etc.] wants you to know, namely if this false idol, the supposed 'son of god', and self-proclaimed 'savior' who gave his life so all your sins could be forgiven once and for all, and all you have to do is 'believe in him' to be saved, why then will there still be physical sacrifices carried out in the millennium age? Why will there still be the need for a 'sin offering' if your sins have already been forgiven?

The simple answer is, THEY HAVENT! Contrary to the views of a man named paul, that "the penalty for breaking the ETERNAL's Commandments, Laws, Ordinances, and Statutes were Nailed To The Cross". As you can plainly see, even in the future time of this temple, only those who walk in the ETERNAL's rules, and are careful to obey all His statutes, are the ones who's sins have been forgiven:

(Ezekiel 37:24) (ESV) My servant David shall be King over them, and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall walk in My rules and be careful to obey My statutes.

When the ETERNAL returns to this temple, He will enter through the outer court eastern gate and then it will be shut where no man can enter through it, "because the ETERNAL CREATOR of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut. As for the prince, because he is the prince, he may sit in it to eat bread before the Lord. He shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gateway, and go out the same way. The priests will prepare his burnt offerings, drink offerings, grain offerings, peace offerings, and sin offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel:

(Ezekiel 44:2-3) (ESV) Then he brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces east. And it was shut. And the Lord said to me, This gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it, for the ETERNAL, the SOVEREIGN of Israel, has entered by it. Therefore it shall remain shut. Only the prince may sit in it to eat bread before the ETERNAL. He shall enter by way of the vestibule of the gate, and shall go out by the same way.

(Ezekiel 45:15-17) (ESV) And one sheep from every flock of two hundred, from the watering places of Israel for grain offering, burnt offering, and peace offerings, to make atonement for them, declares the ETERNAL CREATOR. All the people of the land shall be obliged to give this offering to the prince in Israel. It shall be the prince's duty to furnish the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the new moons, and the Sabbaths, all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement on behalf of the house of Israel.

Notice, once again, that it is All the people of the land who will be required to bring these offerings to the Prince, so he can make atonement for them before the ETERNAL. This pretty much invalidates the concept of a 'savior' who, 2000 years ago, was authorized to declare all the sins of the people null and void! For a more in-depth study on this please see the articles: 'Are We Saved By Grace?', and 'Is Blood Required To Atone For Sin?'.

6) Worship System In Keeping The Feasts (Ezekiel 45:17 - Ezekiel 46:15)

(Ezekiel 45:17) (ESV) It shall be the prince's duty to furnish the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the new moons, and the Sabbaths, all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel: he shall provide the sin offerings, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement on behalf of the house of Israel.

Ezekiel is shown the manner of worship in the Millennial Temple, which is governed by the Feasts of the ETERNAL outlined in Leviticus 23. The Feasts of the ETERNAL are the very heart and soul of His worship system. Below is a list of the days that Ezekiel specifically mentions to honor with special sacrifices and worship:

1st day of 1st month: Cleanse the Sanctuary with a young bull. The priest puts the sin offering blood on: temple doorposts, four corners of the altar, and gateposts of the inner court gateways.

7th day of the 1st month: Do the same as day one above for everyone who has sinned unintentionally. This will make atonement for the temple.

Passover: on the 14th day of the 1st month prepare a bull for a sin offering.

Feast of Unleavened bread: from the 15th-21st of the 1st month prepare each day 7 bulls and 7 rams for a burnt offering and a kid of the goats for a sin offering. And prepare a grain offering of one ephah (with one hin of oil) for each bull and one for each ram.

Feast of Tabernacles: from the 15th-21st of the 7th month do the same sacrifices and offerings as the Feast of Unleavened bread listed above.

Sabbath: Once a week on the Sabbath the prince shall offer:
6 lambs: with the grain offering (as much as desired) with 1 hin of oil per ephah.
1 ram: with the grain offering of 1 ephah with 1 hin of oil.
The inner court east gate will be shut all week long except on the Sabbath when it will be opened for the prince to enter and stand in the vestibule by the gatepost. The priests will prepare the required burnt offering and sin offering for the prince who will worship at this gate every Sabbath, and then the gate will remain open for the rest of the day. The people of Israel shall worship the Lord at the entrance of the east gateway on the Sabbath day.

New Moon: Once per month at the beginning of each month (at the new moon) the prince shall offer:
1 young bull: with the grain offering of 1 ephah with 1 hin of oil.
6 lambs: with the grain offering as much as desired with 1 hin of oil per ephah.
1 ram: with the grain offering of 1 ephah with 1 hin of oil.
And the people shall worship like they do on the Sabbath day.

Festivals & Appointed Feast Days:
for bulls: the grain offering is 1 ephah with 1 hin of oil.
for lambs: the grain offering is as much as desired with 1 hin of oil per ephah.
for rams: the grain offering is 1 ephah with 1 hin of oil.
And the people shall worship like they do on the Sabbath day.

Voluntary Offerings: The prince may offer voluntary burnt or peace offerings whenever he desires. The east gate will be open for him during the sacrifice and then shut when he is done. The offerings will be prepared just like on the Sabbath day.

Daily Morning Sacrifice: Every morning a burnt offering shall be prepared "as a perpetual ordinance" which includes:
One year old lamb: with 1/6th of a ephah of grain offering and 1/3rd of a hin of oil to moisten the flour.

Although our entire lives should be an expression of Worship, Honor, and Glory to the ETERNAL, we can see that there are special times in Scripture that have been set aside and ordained for celebrations of worship in honor of Yahweh. These appointed Feasts are for the purpose of changing us more into His image thus giving Him glory:

(Ezekiel 46:9) (ESV) When the people of the land come before the ETERNAL at the appointed feasts, he who enters by the north gate to worship shall go out by the south gate, and he who enters by the south gate shall go out by the north gate: no one shall return by way of the gate by which he entered, but each shall go out straight ahead.

As a result of leaving in better condition than when we came, the worshippers at the appointed Feasts are not to leave by the same gate that they entered, thus reverting back to the state they were in when they arrived.

7) Preparation Of Offerings (Ezekiel 46:19-24)

It should be no surprise that the Millennial Temple is set up for physical offerings such as grains and oils and animals. These offerings typify the spiritual sacrifices we offer to the ETERNAL CREATOR and SOVEREIGN of the universe. One example of a spiritual sacrifice is joy and praise:

(Psalms 27:6) (LEB) ...And I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.

The entire Millennial Temple is set up for the purpose of sacrifice with the altar at the very geometric center of the temple. At each of the four corners of the temple's outer court, there are kitchens (See reference #13, The Kitchen Locations). Each kitchen has rows of stones around their courts with cooking hearths all around the rows of stones. These are the kitchens where the ministers of the temple boil the sacrifices of the people in the outer court.

There is also a place in the Priest's Chambers where the priests can prepare the offerings so that they don't have to bring them out into the outer court. This is where the priests boil the trespass offering, and sin offering, and bake the grain offering. This chamber is on the north west side of the Priest's Chambers (See reference #23, The Priests Boiling/Baking Chambers).

The place where the sacrifices are first prepared is in the inner court northern gateway. There are eight tables in the vestibule of this gateway where they slay the burnt offerings, sin offerings and trespass offerings. There are tables for slaughtering the animals and for the flesh of the sacrifices, and there were also tables for laying the instruments with which to slaughter the offerings (See reference #25, The Sacrifice Preparation Area).

The fact that the sin offering is still required and being observed in the future Millennial Temple, completely negates the idea that there ever was a so-called 'savior', who comitted suicide sacrificed himself for the purpose of forgiving mankind's sins once and for all. The ETERNAL CREATOR only authorized, authored and dictated to Moses, and various prophets, the Torah, and His Holy Scriptures. The so-called '[New Testament]™' book of deception, is strictly a fabricated work of fiction perpetrated on mankind, by megalomaniacs seeking power over men by usurping the power and authority strictly reserved by the Almighty CREATOR and SOVEREIGN of the universe, for HIMSELF! Be sure to read the article 'Is Blood Required To Atone For Sin?', and 'Are We Saved By Grace?', for more information on this important topic.

Israel's Land Divisions
(Ezekiel 47:22) (KJ21) And it shall come to pass that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you. And they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. This section shows the estimated land portion that is promised to Israel during the millennial reign of King David. This information is derived entirely from (Ezekiel 45:1-8 and Ezekiel 47:13 - Ezekiel 48:35). A few of the cities listed by Ezekiel do not exist today, and their exact historic location is uncertain. Therefore, the boundaries in the following map may not be exact, but they are relatively accurate based on the latest archeological and historical evidences. In (Numbers 34:1-12), the ETERNAL spoke to Moses almost the exact same boundaries for the land of Canaan as was shown here to Ezekiel, even using most of the same cities as boundary markers. Some cross-referencing with (Numbers 34) was used to derive the map boundaries. The illustration below this map is a detailed blow-up diagram of the "Holy Portion" of the land. This Holy Portion is located in the center of Israel around the area of modern day Jerusalem and is pictured to scale on the map as well.
