The Millennial Temple
went astray. They will offer to the Lord the fat and the blood of the
sacrifices. They will stand before the Lord and enter His sanctuary to
come near to the Lord and minister to Him. Ezekiel lists several laws
and ordinances which concern the priests:
• They shall wear linen garments (turbans on their heads and trousers
on their bodies) when entering the inner sanctuary. They shall
not wear any wool or anything causing them to sweat. Then
they shall leave these garments in the holy chambers when
leaving to sanctify the people.
• They shall keep their hair well trimmed (not shaved or long).
• They shall not drink wine when entering the inner court.
• They shall not have a wife who is divorced or widowed (unless she
is a widow of a priest), but rather take virgins of Israeli descent.
• They shall teach people the difference between the holy and unholy
and discern between the clean and unclean.
• They shall stand as judges in controversy.
• They shall not defile themselves by coming near a dead person,
(except for father, mother, son or daughter, brother or
unmarried sister). After he is cleansed, count 7 days and offer a
sin offering for him in the sanctuary and then he may continue
to minister before the Lord.
• They shall have no land possession in Israel “for I, the Lord, am
their possession.”
• They shall eat the grain, sin, and trespass offering. Every dedicated
thing in Israel shall be theirs.
• They shall receive the best of every sacrifice or firstfruits offering.
• They shall not eat any bird or beast that died naturally or was torn
by wild animals.
“You shall give to the priest of the first of your ground meal, to cause a
blessing to rest on your house.” (Ezekiel 44:30)
4) Economics in the Temple (45:9-14)
Just like the previous temples were economic centers, the Millennial
Temple will also serve as an economic center where the trading
standards will be established with justice.
