Ezekiel 40:1-48:35

At the 10th day of the 1st month of what would have been the 25th year of Zedekiah’s reign, which is 25 years since the 3rd Captivity in which Jeconiah was taken captive and 14 years after the City of Jerusalem was smitten (approx. 575 BC; Ezek. 40:1), Ezekiel prophesies yet another baffling prophecy bringing consternation and trouble to the minds of would-be-interpreters throughout all ages. This prophecy, much like the former (Ezek. 38-39), and no doubt related to the former, is profoundly clear if it is approached from a Biblical & Historical perspective. Nevertheless, this approach is hard to come by for impatient handlers of the text. Therefore, Ezekiel’s Temple remains infamous in how men purpose to overlook it, wagging their heads in displeasure, and it is famous in how men will at last discover its meaning in the purpose that God intended according to His good pleasure. In other words, Ezekiel 40-48 is a true masterpiece of the Father who takes pleasure in hiding and revealing the truth (Matt. 11:25-26)!
