The Millennial Temple<br />

“Thus says the Lord God: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or<br />

uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any<br />

foreigner who is among the children of Israel.” (Ezekiel 44:9)<br />

3) Ministers of the Temple (44:10-31)<br />

“Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His<br />

Holy Place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart. Who has not<br />

lifted up His soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive<br />

blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of His<br />

salvation. This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who<br />

seek Your face.” (Psalm 24:3-6)<br />

Although all saved or redeemed people will be allowed to enter the<br />

temple, not every person is allowed to minister in the inner court or in<br />

the Sanctuary. The Levites will be the ones who are called to be in<br />

charge of the temple. And not all Levites will have the same duties,<br />

rather the Levites will be broken up into: 1) Gatekeepers, 2) Ministers<br />

of the House (Nethinim) and 3) Priests. The “Prince” will also have<br />

ministering duties, which will be discussed later. A brief description<br />

for the services of these three types of Levites is listed below:<br />

1) Gatekeepers:<br />

The Levites who went astray from Yahweh after idols will be<br />

gatekeepers of the temple. They will not be allowed to enter the Holy<br />

of Holies or come near any of Yahweh’s holy things. There are six<br />

main gateways in the Millennial Temple. (See Pictures #6-11 for the<br />

six gateways and #25 for a close-up of a gateway) Each gateway has<br />

six gate chambers with windows in each gate chamber. Most likely,<br />

these gate chambers will serve as “checkpoints” for people when they<br />

enter the temple and when they leave the temple to be sure that only<br />

redeemed people are admitted into the temple and that only the priests<br />

are admitted into the Inner Court.<br />

Because the knowledge about God’s glory in this temple will cover the<br />

earth, many people will be coming here from all over the world to seek<br />

the God of Israel and His glory. The outer court gatekeepers may share<br />
