Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 43What is the significance of the Ezekiel temple? Ezekiel 44:15 singles out Zadokite priests for special privileges—where is the historical record or proof that this priestly line remained uniquely faithful? Ezekiel 44:28 indicates priests have no inheritance apart from the Lord--how does this align with land allotment practices known from other biblical or historical sources? Ezekiel 44's temple regulations appear highly specific, yet no archaeological site conclusively matches this description--could this be evidence the prophecy was purely symbolic or never fulfilled?(19) Thou shalt give.--Ezekiel is not actually to do this, like Moses, as the appointed consecrator; but, as frequently in prophecy, he is told to do that which he foretells is to be done.

If some expressions, as the use of "thou" in this and the following verses, appear to suggest that Ezekiel alone should officiate, the employment of "they" in vers. 22, 24, 25, 26 as plainly indicates that Ezekiel's share in the ceremonial was to be performed through the medium of the priests. And, indeed, if the temple was a pattern designed to be converted into an actual building after the return from captivity, as the newer criticism contends, it is apparent that Ezekiel could not have been expected to have any hand in its erection.
