Chapter 7<br />

The Millennial Temple<br />

“Describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed<br />

of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. And if they are<br />

ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of<br />

the temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire<br />

design and all its ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it<br />

down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its<br />

ordinances, and perform them.” (Ezekiel 43:10-11)<br />

In 1996, I began an in-depth study of Ezekiel chapters 40-48 which<br />

culminated in building a scale model of the temple shown to Ezekiel.<br />

My model, pictured above, is scaled to 1/16 th inch per cubit. A cubit is<br />

somewhere between 18 inches and 24 inches. <strong>To</strong> date, this temple has<br />

not yet been built, and it is often referred to as the coming “Third<br />

Temple.” Solomon’s temple was the first, while Ezra and Nehemiah’s<br />

temple was the second (King Herod added onto this second temple).<br />
