Ezekiel
Ezekiel was a prophet and priest who was among the first group of Jews exiled to Babylon. His ministry took place entirely in the foreign land, where he delivered messages to the exiled community. His book is famous for its vivid, dramatic visions, including the vision of the fiery chariot, the valley of dry bones coming back to life, and the detailed vision of a restored, future Temple. Ezekiel’s prophecies were both condemnatory—justifying God’s decision to judge and exile Israel due to their idolatry and unfaithfulness—and restorative. The most significant message of hope is God's promise to give His people a "new heart" and a "new spirit," enabling them to obey Him and live in a renewed covenant relationship.
The angel continues to measure the remaining parts of the Temple structure, including the sanctuary, the Holy Place, and the surrounding chambers, detailing its immense glory.
The angel measures the priests' chambers and the courts, detailing the spiritual function and dimensions of the new Temple, which serves as a promise of God's eternal dwelling.
The glory of God returns to the Temple from the East Gate, filling the structure. God commands Ezekiel to measure the altar and declare that this holy place will never again be defiled by wicked kings.
God commands that the East Gate remain permanently shut because the Lord entered through it. God details the laws for the Sons of Zadok, the faithful priests who will serve in the new Temple.
