EZEKIEL 43

GOD GIVES EZEKIEL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SHARING HIS VISION

Similar to Ezekiel’s first vision, God’s presence returns to fill the temple. In Ezekiel 10, God’s presence left the temple, and in this vision, the presence of God comes back in the same manner it left. Ezekiel falls on his face in awe of the sight of God’s presence!

God tells Ezekiel to record the dimensions and details of the new temple, letting the Israelites know that God has plans for the future. Ezekiel is also instructed to record God’s law and encourage the Israelites to follow God’s commands and worship God alone. God gives specific instructions for sacrifices upon the new temple altar.

This chapter highlights the theme of divine presence and the importance of obedience to God's commands in the context of the vision of the future temple.
