Ezekiel's Final Words, September 5/6, 2012

Today's reading is Ezekiel 40-48. 
"Ezekiel's prophecy must surely give renewed hope to this downcast nation, yet his vision casts another image far beyond the time when the nation will be reestablished and the temple will be rebuilt.  This becomes clear when it is realized that the rebuilt temple will not have the physical beauty of the one which it replaces, and that the dimensions of the great temple described here are on a much grander scale than could possible be built in the soon-to-be-reconstructed city of Jerusalem."  Commentary from The Daily Bible for September 5.
