Surely Temple

And he said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the people of Israel forever.”

Ezekiel 43:7

The passage about Ezekiel’s temple is a bit of a puzzler (understatement of the millennial kingdom). But there are some things we can be sure of. We know that the temple portrays God’s presence with his people. And what happens at the temple is plain enough: sin-atoning, world-healing sacrifice (as seen in the rest of the vision). So here it seems we have it once again, the age-old gospel truth. Our wondrous God is with us through our Lord Jesus Christ and him crucified for our sin. And thus will he always be with us.
