UNDERSTANDING THE ORDINANCES OF EZEKIEL TEMPLE

WHY THE OFFERINGS MENTIONED?

EXODUS 15 SPEAKS OF LORDS VICTORY OVER Pharaoh and his hosts, AS SUNG BY MOSES.

Ex.  15: 2  The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

3--LORD is man of war, LORD is His name.

Vs. 5-pharoah and company sank to the bottom like a stone.

Vs. 8-With LORD’s breath, He gathers waters.

In Re 17: 5, 15, the nations are as waters! And the LORD gathers them giving His breath as we had written in our articles!

Isa 30:28  His breath is like an overflowing stream,

Isa 40:7  The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the LORD blows upon it; Surely the people are grass.

Isa 42:5--Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it:

La 4:20  The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, Was caught in their pits, Of whom we said, "Under his shadow We shall live among the nations."

Eze 37:5  ‘Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

Ex. 15:11-13-

11  Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

12  Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

13  Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

SANCTUARY established-IN THE MIDST OF ISRAEL IN HISTORY---IN THE MOUNTAIN OF HIS INHERITANCE-vs. 17,18

17  Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.--18  The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

The above history of ISRAEL was when they from Egypt, and pointed to the present truth of ESTABLISHING Ezekiel SANCTUARY  ---IN THE MOUNTAIN OF HIS INHERITANCE--.

Eze. 40--2  In the visions of God brought He me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain,

Ex. 13:12--14-16 SHOWS LORD’S MIGHTY HAND ON Pharaoh – is TO BE REMEMBERED ---

LORD had shown of s second exodus from nations—Isa 11; 11, and LORD had created a Pharaoh , Ro 9: 17, and as shown in our writings, Jer 46: 25-27 shows how

Pharaoh  would be made Nebuchadnezzar who controls ‘NATIONS’ and how LORD saves ISRAEL FROM him!

Then, HE SHOWS Ez 40: 2—THE HIGH MOUNTAINS WHERE Ezekiel SANCTUARY WOULD ESTABLISHED BY HIM-

Then the LORD shows the ORDINANCES OF Ezekiel TEMPLE, to be kept by the Laodiceans to SANCTIFY THEMSELVES TO PREPARE TO MEET THEIR GOD!

This is just as LORD instructed Moses to admonish priests of that time, read in chapters after Passover  ---in Ex. 13—19, after which LORD made the covenant , giving His laws and commandments, we see from Ex. 20.

Eze 45: 15, 17 SHOWS THAT ALL SACRIFICES ARE MEANT FOR ATONEMENT –ARE TO RECONCILE PEOPLE TO GOD!

This way of preparation was seen in history of ISRAEL, and the LORD’s Judgments in SANCTUARY remain as in the days of old, Amos 9: 11---ALTHOUGH THE SACRIFICES,  BLOOD , THE ATONEMENT IS PROVIDED BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF!

Eze. 43:12---shows of laws  of temple, that are to be HONOURED-just as Moses said-

In Ezekiel temple---Eze. 43: 12-- This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

Moses said---Ex. 15: 17  Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, ---

THE GOD OF WHOLE EARTH WHO CREATED THE RED SEA EPISODE TO REDEEM ISRAEL HIS PEOPLE FROM Pharaoh IS COMMANDING HIS ISRAEL PEOPLE TODAY---TO KEEP Ezekiel TEMPLE ORDINANCES!

Ez 43: 18 –mentions ordinances to be kept—WHEN CAPTIVES RETURN TO GOD

• Eze. 43:19-REQUIREMENT OF A YOUNG BULL--

Eze. 43: 19--You shall give a young bull for a sin offering to the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of Zadok, who approach Me to minister to Me,’ says the Lord GOD.

Lev. 4:2-7-  ‘if the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, then let him offer to the LORD for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without blemish as a sin offering, vs. 3.

THE OFFERING OF THE BULL MEANS---HOW THE ATONEMENT IS TO BE DONE FOR “for sins of the anointed priest ,who had SINNED bringing guilt on PEOPLE!”---so THE ATONEMENT PROVIDED BY JESUS CHRIST, Eze. 16: 63---is that sacrifice that has to be done by Zadok’s sons.

That atonement in that vs. is for anointed priest, to seek God’s forgiveness, as Le 4: 20, so that he would be reconciled to God!

Likewise all sacrifices are meant for some sacrifice!---BUT ALL TO BE DONE WITH LORD’S ATONEMENT SINCE HE HAD PROVIDED SAME, Eze. 16: 63.

Lev. 4:3- offer a bull ---

• to build the walls of Jerusalem such sacrifices  are written-- Ps. 51:18,19, --offer thanks and praise---Ps. 50:14
• Le 4:13 if all congregation had sinned unintentionally, but are guilty-offer a young bull-Le 4:14-15
• Strength of wild bull is compared to LORD’s strength—when He brings back children from captivity—

Nu 23:22  God brings them out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox.

Nu 24:8  "God brings him out of Egypt; He has strength like a wild ox; He shall consume the nations, his enemies; He shall break their bones And pierce them with his arrows.

In Jer 23: 7,8, Eze. 39: 28,29---LORD says He would bring captivity from NATIONS---where the LORD scattered captives in NATIONS---LORD depicts the leaders are as NATIONS that fought ISRAEL of history! SO HE REDEEMS ISRAEL FROM NATIONS, HE DID A MARVELLOUS WORK OF WONDER TO DO SO!

He was king of floods, Ps. 29: 10, when He sent floods, rivers of water to ISRAEL His chosen people!

Pr 14:4

Eze. 43: 19—shows that sons of Zadok, who did not go astray when ISRAEL went astray, Eze. 44; 15, (Eze. 39: 21-23), are to approach the LORD to do THESE ATONEMENTS, the priests of ISRAEL Philadelphia Church of God to follow the LORD’s commandments!

Le 4: 5—the priest that is anointed has to perform.

Ezekiel temple ordinances show us that offerings mentioned in Ezekiel temple are similar to those mentioned in Leviticus, and books of Moses---

This shows that LORD honours His Judgments in SANCTUARY!

Eze. 43:20, 25 (seven days)=Lev. 4:6,7 (seven times)

Eze. 43:21 (out side SANCTUARY)=Lev. 4:8-12 (without the camp)

Eze. 43:22 (sprinkle blood on all seven days)=Lev. 4:22,23,26 (when ruler had sinned, these offerings are to be done for him to be forgiven).

Eze. 45:23 Bulls and rams on altar

Balaam offered  7 bulls and 7 rams prior to meeting with God-Nu 23:3, 14,15

Priests who gone astray have to sanctify themselves by these offerings before they come before the LORD! (Balaam lusted to get the money from Balak, Num 21-22)

• Eze. 43:26 to consecrate seven days ---

Lev. 8:33- ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.

34  As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.

35  Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.

Moses feared of LORD’S commandments!

HOW MUCH SHOULD PRIESTS OF GOD seek OUT LAWS OF SANCTUARY OF GOD?

Amos 9: 11 LORD revives His SANCTUARY laws.

PRIESTS ARE TO MAINTAIN THE BEAUTY OF HIS TEMPLE---

people or ministry cannot do things on their own!

We should see what the present day church does----

THEN UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH OF CLEANING THAT HAS TO BE DONE IN GOD’S SANCTUARY!!

Eze. 43: 27  And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 45---

Ez 45:17-sin, grain, burnt, peace are---offerings for atonement-(LORD provides the atonement, Ez 16:63)

Eze. 45:21-24-Passover -7days-Ex. 12:18-19,6

Sprinkling Passover blood -- a sign for you on houses where you ARE –Ex. 12;13

Ministry are spiritual houses, living stones, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ, 1Pe 2:5.

EACH HOUSE SHOULD BE PURIFIED!

• Ex. 19:4-special treasure in covenant –if obey, a kingdom of priests

STONE OF ISRAEL IS ALMIGHTY GOD-Gen 49:24

1Pe 2:5  you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house,

Pr 17:8  A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its

possessor;

Ps. 72: 10  The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 

Tarshish brings presents?----what are these presents to JESUS CHRIST?

When Tarshish presents stones, Almighty gives life to them!

Living stones would then BE HIS POSSESSION!

By Hyssop-Ex. 12:22

In this case the HYSSOP is Zadok’s sons, those of Tarshish! we had explained!

Ordinances of Passover prophesied when coming to inheritance----IN HISTORY--Ex. 12:25

SIMILARLY—in Ezekiel temple -Eze 45:21-24-7 days, Unleavened Bread a memorial that LORD’S law may be in your mouth, Ex. 13:9, BECAUSE---with a strong hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt.

In present truth, they would be brought from nations, Isa 11: 11

Captives would be saved from nations, ---Ex. 39:28,29

JESUS CHRIST HAD USED A LOT OF PARABLES---COMPARISONS—RIDDLES IN HIS SHORT WORK OF DELIVERING ISRAEL TO GIVE THEM ETERNAL INHERITANCE—

HE HAD PERFORMED A GREAT HISTORY WITH THEM BEFORE HE CREATED ETERNAL THINGS TO TEACH THEM THAT HIS JUDGMENTS STAND AMONG HIS PEOPLE!

IN HISTORY LORD SAVED ISRAEL BEARING THEM ON EAGLES TO BRING THEM TO GOD---

Ex 19:4  ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles‘ wings and brought you to Myself.

IF WE SEE HOW LORD REPEATS THAT HISTORY IN HIS WORK TODAY--

Re 12:14--- But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.---present day church given EAGLES WINGS-

Ex 19:4  ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles‘ wings and brought you to Myself.----IN HISTORY IT HAPPENED!

Who comes as eagles of the LORD TODAY?---

Isa 40:31  But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Who waits on the LORD?

Isa 60:9  Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me; And the ships of Tarshish will come first,

SO IT IS Tarshish WORK WAITING ON JESUS CHRIST THAT WOULD BRING ISRAEL TO THE LORD—FROM NATIONS---

See examples of NATIONS where the eagle work had happened---

Jer 48:40  For thus says the LORD: "Behold, one shall fly like an eagle, And spread his wings over Moab.

Jer 49:22  Behold, He shall come up and fly like the eagle, And spread His wings over Bozrah; The heart of the mighty men of Edom in that day shall be Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

Philadelphia Church of God compared to NATIONS, are in trouble as they cannot produce children---LORD made us STRANGERS bear children among ISRAEL, Eze. 47: 22, by making us to serve ISRAEL, Isa 14: 1,2.

Isa 60: 9-- Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

10  And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

11  Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

12  For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

LORD HAD GIVEN THE GENTILES, Eze. 30: 3 A WORK----IF THEY DO NOT SERVE PROPERLY---THEY PERISH!

LORD’S WORDS STAND!

ALL PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING BE TO THE REDEEMER AND SAVIOUR OF ISRAEL , JESUS CHRIST , AMEN AND AMEN.
