<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Glory</strong><br />

what is good; and what does the Lord require of you: <strong>To</strong> do justice,<br />

and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” (Mic. 6:6-8)<br />

We conclude therefore, that the animal sacrifices and other offerings<br />

which are given in the Millennial Temple will serve as object lessons<br />

for the spiritual sacrifices of a heart that is pure, cleansed and sanctified<br />

in praise and thanksgiving to Yahweh God. Walking daily in justice,<br />

mercy and humility are the sacrifices which God really desires from us.<br />

2) Admittance into the Temple (44:1-9)<br />

“And the glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate<br />

which faces toward the east.” (Ezek. 43:4)<br />

Because the Lord enters the temple by the eastern gateway, no man<br />

shall enter the temple by this gate, but it shall be closed (44:2). The<br />

“prince” is the only one who is allowed at certain times to enter into<br />

this eastern gateway by the vestibule of the gateway to sit and eat bread<br />

before the Lord. (The prince will be discussed further in section 5 -<br />

Ordinances for the prince) Everyone else must enter by either the<br />

northern or southern gates and, “whoever enters by way of the north<br />

gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate; and whoever<br />

enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate.<br />

He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall<br />

go out through the opposite gate. The prince shall then be in their<br />

midst.” (Ezek 46:9) This is symbolic of being changed from glory to<br />

glory – (2Cor 3:18). Every time we come into the presence of the Lord<br />

we are changed more into His likeness, and we leave different than<br />

when we first came.<br />

Yahweh God told Ezekiel, “mark well who may enter the house and all<br />

who go out from the sanctuary.” He then explains to Ezekiel the<br />

abominations that Israel has done in the past by allowing “foreigners,<br />

uncircumcised in heart and flesh” to be in His house and therefore<br />

defile it and break His Covenant. Therefore, the only people allowed<br />

into the temple will be those who are saved/redeemed or “circumcised<br />

in heart.” The unsaved or unredeemed who are “uncircumcised in<br />

heart” may never enter the temple.<br />
