Forward
For clarification, the world has been in the end-times from the beginning of Daniel’s seventy-sevens prophecy which started with the dedication of the rebuilt temple and gates about 444 B.C. The last piece of the end-times prophecy to be fulfilled is the last seven years. All of the earth’s wars, social changes, and earth changes are called birth pangs. They will increase as we get closer to the last seven years. I repeat, the last seven years of the prophecy have not yet been fulfilled, but is very, very close. Biblically speaking, the last seven years is the end-time (singular) of Daniel’s prophecy and part of the end-times (plural) from 444 B.C.
The last seven years will be in two stages, believe it or not:
1.The first stage is the sounding of the seven trumpets up to the first resurrection, Armageddon, and Satan put in chains in the pit of hell. This is the harvest and first sifting.
2.The second stage is the millennial reign of Jesus Christ on this earth ending with the release of Satan and the war of Gog-Magog then the White Throne Judgment.
The second stage is the final sifting of the sinful nature instigated by Satan with Adam.
You probably haven't heard that there are two stages before. This is even the first time I have seen it this way. I knew the millennium was part of the seventh year (to God, one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day) but the stages didn’t occur to me until writing this article. Apparently, this is what it took for the Spirit of YHVH to reveal it to me. Bit by bit, piece by piece.
Human understanding just doesn’t have the capacity to receive all of YHVH's truth in big chunks; all the more reason to avoid going off in a tangent of great revelation at the risk of becoming a false prophet. One lie leads to another.
Some false prophets are teaching that all of the seventy-sevens of year’s prophecy are for Israel only and were fulfilled when Jesus died on the cross. Others teach that the last seven years is for Israel only and that the Church will be raptured out before it begins. Yes, the prophecy was given to Israel. No, the Church will not be given special treatment. The whole human race still living when the last seven years begins will take part in it.
The remnant of Israel is 144,000 and will take part in the first resurrection (rapture) with the Church at the sound of the last trumpet (seventh) before the wrath of YHVH is poured out in the war of Armageddon. False prophets have no understanding of the Bible sequence of what has not yet occurred, so they take pieces out of context and preach it as truth. Faithful followers of Jesus Christ, a.k.a. born-again believers, must spend enough time in the Word with the Spirit of YHVH to learn the truth so they won’t get caught in the world’s web of lies expounded in thousands of books of commentary. As for scholars or trusted ministers, the spirit of their commentary must be tested by the Word and the Spirit only, even my own.
I really don’t like to name names, but on this occasion I must if only to demonstrate the need for all Christians to test all things by the Bible in order to expose false doctrine and teachers. The purpose of this page is to show the truth that will expose false doctrine and help Christians learn how to test the spirit of what they think, hear, see and do by the Word of YHVH only.
Occasionally I will watch some of the Christian programming on television to see what topics are hot. Last weekend I watched John Hagee. Nearly thirty years ago he was a guest speaker at the church I attended. The hot topic in those days was demon deliverance. Now the hot topic is dominionism. It is the same thing with a different name. Arguments over various doctrines on the rapture of the church aren’t as hot as they used to be. Hagee’s new book, “Can America Survive..?” covers such subjects as:
- The impending nuclear war in the Middle East
- The coming death of the dollar
- The consequences of rejecting Israel
- The absolute accuracy of biblical prophecy
- The coming Fourth Reich
- The year 2012: The Beginning of the End?
The television sermon I watched was about Ezekiel 38 and 39. In Hagee’s mind he sees the prophecies about Gog and Magog in these chapters as imminent, not as the end of the millennium as shown in Revelation 20:6-11. Revelation states the Gog and Magog is after the millennium. In his mind Iran will acquire nuclear power and a cataclysmic war will occur, destroying America. He uses hot words and phrases and Scriptures out of context and often not even in the right era.
Revelation provides the correct timing for Ezekiel’s prophecy. Unfortunately, Mr. Hagee neglected to read Revelation 20:6-11 which takes us from the first resurrection through the millennium to the time that Satan is released from his chains to deceive the nations and stir up the Gog-Magog war; then the White Throne Judgment. Put the events of Revelation 20 together with Ezekiel 38 through 48 and you have a pretty good view of the millennium yet to come.
Revelation 20:6-11
6—Blessed and holy [is] he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of YHVH and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
7—And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
8—And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea.
9—And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from YHVH out of heaven, and devoured them.
10—And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
11—And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
The Gog and Magog of Ezekiel is the same as the Gog and Magog of Revelation except it has more detail. YHVH does that a lot. He will give a short scenario, a sentence or a couple of chapters about a particular subject and various circumstances surrounding it; all the more reason to pay very close attention to the voice of the Spirit of YHVH.
John Hagee also believes in the pre-tribulation rapture of the Church, which is probably why he didn’t equate the Ezekiel Gog-Magog with the Revelation Gog-Magog. Clarification: the pre-tribulation teaching uses the entire scroll with seven seals as the time line for the last seven years. The Bible clearly teaches that the seventh seal is the time line for the occurrences of the last seven years of Daniel’s seventy-sevens.
Mr. Hagee sees Ezekiel 38 as a prophecy to be fulfilled before the last seven years of Daniel’s seventy-sevens. Revelation 20 clearly puts Gog-Magog at the end of the millennium. The Bible has exposed Mr. Hagee as a false prophet teaching false doctrine. No matter how much he uses the Bible to make his point, if it is used in the wrong way it is a lie; it is a different gospel. The testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy and truth.
Beware of false prophets. They use the Bible only as a tool in their agenda. False prophets are so deceived that they cannot see their own error and will deny that what they teach is a lie when they are reproached. They are a perfect example of Simon the Magician of Acts 8:9-24 when he denied what Peter said about his heart not being right with God. It was God who revealed to Peter that Simon was really after the power of His Spirit. Simon the Magician did not repent when he was exposed.
High Points of the Book of Ezekiel The Four Living Creatures are exemplary of Jesus Christ.
Ezekiel 1 through 24—The book opens with the vision of four living creatures and the prophet’s call of Ezekiel to the tribes of Israel.
Four living beings
- Have human form
- Each has four wings
1. Wings touched each othera. Two touching another beingb. Two covering their bodies2. When the wings move they have the sound of abundant waters a. like the voice of the Almightyb. speech like the noise of an army of angels3.Human hands under the wings- Straight legs with calf’s hooves gleaming like burnished bronze
- All four had four faces
1. Face of a mana. Son of man and YHVH2. Face of a liona. Lion of Judahb. Throne of David3. Face of a bulla. The last sin sacrifice for all4. Face of an eaglea. Represents protection in the Spirit of YHVH- Moves wherever the Spirit goes without turning
- In the midst of the creatures there was bright fire and flashing lightning from the fire
- Four rings on the earth beside each of the four living creatures
1. Appearance of sparkling beryl2. Rings appeared to fit within each other3. Moved in any of the four directions without turning4. The rims of the rings were high and fearfula. The rims were full of eyesb. Wherever the Spirit went they wentc. The spirit of the living creature is in the ringsd. All moved as the Spirit moved- The likeness of the expanse over the heads of the living creatures was as a fountain of frightening crystal
- In the expanse above them
1. A voice2. A throne like sapphire stonea, Upon the throne was the appearance of a man on the throneb. The appearance of fire all about the thronec. The appearance of a rainbow about the throne*This was the glory of YHVHSome might not know that the four living creatures in heaven are a reflection of the life of Jesus Christ and his very deep and devoted love of his Father as also seen in Isaiah 11:3 (WYBV) And in the spirit of (in Hebrew--ruach) the fear of YHVH he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears..." The King James Bible translates the first half of the sentence as "And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD" from the Hebrew word "ruach" meaning spirit. So why not just say "in the spirit of" which is truer and teaches us the importance of the fear of the Lord. In Jesus' ministry on earth he was “YHVH with us” and he still is.
Please allow the Spirit to speak to you through the Scriptures of Ezekiel 37 through 48.
- Ezekiel 37 – The resurrection of the remnant: corresponds to the sixth seal of Revelation 6:12-17. The last verse Ezek 37:28. And the heathen shall know that I YHVH (Yahavah) do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

- Ezekiel 39—vs.29. Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, says Adonai YHVH (Yahavah).
- Ezekiel 40 through 42—Instructions for building the temple during the millennial reign of Jesus Christ with the resurrected. Ezekiel's temple has never been built
- Ezekiel 43 through 44—The place of the temple is on top and on whole limit of the mountain; something that will not be possible again until after Armageddon.
- Ezekiel 45 through 48—Dividing the land among the twelve tribes in the millennium
- Ezekiel 47—Whoever comes to the river shall live. Ezek. 47: 22, 23—And it shall come to pass, [that] you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. And it shall come to pass, [that] in what tribe the stranger sojourns, there shall you give [him] his inheritance, says Adonai YHVH (Yahavah).
- Ezekiel 48—The names of the tribes and their portions. Ezek. 48:35. [It was] round about eighteen thousand [measures]: and the name of the city from [that] day [shall be], YHVH (Yahavah) [is] there. This is New Jerusalem--Rev. 3:12-13
Ezekiel’s prophecies, in detail, from the first resurrection to the White Throne Judgment.
Ezekiel 37 – The resurrection of the remnant: corresponds to the sixth seal of Revelation 6:12-17
Note: At the time of the resurrection there will be people who survived the holocaust of the Fourth Beast (Antichrist). They neither believed the Beast nor was completely sold on Jesus Christ. They are fence sitters. They will see the two witnesses die and lay in the streets for three days then resurrected very shortly before the resurrection of the saints. They will understand what happened too late to be part of the first resurrection. Those who then believe will hide themselves from the wrath of YHVH (Armageddon) and live in the land as strangers. Every year they will be required to journey to Jerusalem for the Feasts as instructed in the Law of the Old Testament. This is the purpose of the third temple. The last sifting will be in how these survivors respond to the devil when he is released to cause trouble one last time. Will they allow themselves to be decieved or will they overcome and be saved?
1—The hand of YHVH was upon me and carried me out in the Spirit of YHVH and set me down in the midst of the valley which [was] full of bones,
2—And caused me to pass by them roundabout: and, behold, [there were] very many in the open valley; and, lo, [they were] very dry.
3—And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Adonai YHVH, you know.
4—Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones and say unto them, O you dry bones, hear the word of YHVH.
5—Thus says Adonai YHVH unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you and you shall live:
6—And I will lay sinews upon you and will bring up flesh upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you and you shall live; and you shall know that I [am] YHVH.
7—So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise and behold a shaking and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8—And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them and the skin covered them above: but [there was] no breath in them.
9—Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man and say to the wind, Thus says Adonai YHVH; Come from the four winds, O breath and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10—So I prophesied as he commanded me and the breath came into them and they lived and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11—Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12—Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus says Adonai YHVH; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves and bring you into the land of Israel.
13—And you shall know that I [am] YHVH, when I have opened your graves, O my people and brought you up out of your graves,
14—And shall put My Spirit in you and you shall live and I shall place you in your own land: then shall you know that I YHVH have spoken [it] and performed [it], says YHVH.
15—The word of YHVH came again unto me, saying,
16—Moreover, you son of man, take you one stick and write upon it, For Judah and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:
17—And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in your hand.
18—And when the children of your people shall speak unto you, saying, Will you not show us what you [meanest] by these?
19—Say unto them, Thus says Adonai YHVH; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel his fellows and will put them with him, [even] with the stick of Judah and make them one stick and they shall be one in mine hand.
20—And the sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
21—And say unto them, Thus says Adonai YHVH; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, where ever they had gone and will gather them on every side and bring them into their own land:
22—And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms anymore at all:
23—Neither shall they defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people and I will be their Elohim.
24—And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments and observe my statutes and do them.
25—And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even] they and their children and their children's children forever: and my servant David [shall be] their prince forever.
26—Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them and multiply them and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore.
27—My tabernacle also shall be with them: yes, I will be their Elohim and they shall be my people.
28—And the heathen shall know that I YHVH do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them forevermore.
Ezekiel 38—The war of Gog/Magog at the end of the millennium after Satan is released from the pit: corresponds to Revelation 20:7-10
Note: The places of safety with no need for walls, as described in this chapter, can only be the time of the millennium while Satan is bound. The war of Gog/Magog is at the end of the millennium after Satan is released from the pit corresponding to Revelation 20:7-10. This is the last sifting to remove any who will not listen to YHVH before the White Throne Judgment and New Jerusalem. The war of Armageddon is at the beginning of the millennium and Gog/Magog is at the end.
1—And the word of YHVH came unto me, saying,
2—Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal and prophesy against him,
3—And say, Thus says Adonai YHVH; Behold, I [am] against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4—And I will turn you back and put hooks into your jaws and I will bring you forth and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts [of armor, even] a great company [with] bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5—Persia, Ethiopia and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6—Gomer and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters and all his bands: [and] many people with you.
7—Be you prepared and prepare for thyself, you and all your company that are assembled unto you and be you a guard unto them.
8—After many days you shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword, gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations and they shall dwell safely, all of them.
9—You shall ascend and come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your bands and many people with you.
10—Thus says Adonai YHVH; It shall also come to pass, [that] at the same time shall things come into your mind and you shall think an evil thought:
11—And you shall say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls and having neither bars nor gates,
12—To take a spoil and to take a prey; to turn your hand upon the desolate places [that are now] inhabited and upon the people [that are] gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13—Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto you, Are you come to take a spoil? have you gathered your company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14—Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus says Adonai YHVH; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shall you not know [it]?
15—And you shall come from your place out of the north parts, you and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army:
16—And you shall come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days and I will bring you against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.
17—Thus says Adonai YHVH; You [are] he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days [many] years that I would bring you against them.
18—And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says Adonai YHVH [that] my fury shall come up in my face.
19—For in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20—So that the fishes of the sea and the fowls of the heaven and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep upon the earth and all the men that [are] upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence and the mountains shall be thrown down and the steep places shall fall and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21—And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, says Adonai YHVH: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22—And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him and upon his bands and upon the many people that [are] with him, an overflowing rain and great hailstones, fire and brimstone.
23—Thus will I magnify myself and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations and they shall know that I [am] YHVH.
Ezekiel 39
1—Therefore, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, Thus says Adonai YHVH; Behold, I [am] against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2—And I will turn you back and leave but the sixth part of you and will cause you to come up from the north parts and will bring you upon the mountains of Israel:
3—And I will smite your bow out of your left hand and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.
4—You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your bands and the people that [is] with you: I will give you unto the ravenous birds of every sort and [to] the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5—You shall fall upon the open field: for I have spoken [it], says Adonai YHVH.
6—And I will send a fire on Magog and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] YHVH.
7—So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not [let them] pollute my holy name anymore: and the heathen shall know that I [am] YHVH, the Holy One in Israel.
8—Behold, it is come and it is done, says Adonai YHVH; this [is] the day whereof I have spoken.
9—And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows and the hand staves and the spears and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10—So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down [any] out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them and rob those that robbed them, says Adonai YHVH.
11—And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the [noses] of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call [it] The valley of Hamongog.
12—And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13—Yes, all the people of the land shall bury [them]; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, says Adonai YHVH.
14—And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15—And the passengers [that] pass through the land, when [any] sees a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16—And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17—And, you son of man, thus says Adonai YHVH; Speak unto every feathered fowl and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, [even] a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.
18—You shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19—And you shall eat fat till you be full and drink blood till you be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20—Thus you shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men and with all men of war, says Adonai YHVH.
21—And I will set my glory among the heathen and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22—So the house of Israel shall know that I [am] YHVH their Elohim from that day and forward.
23—And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24—According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them and hid my face from them.
25—Therefore thus says Adonai YHVH; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel and will be jealous for my holy name;
26—After that they have borne their shame and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land and none made [them] afraid.
27—When I have brought them again from the people and gathered them out of their enemies' lands and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28—Then shall they know that I [am] YHVH their Elohim, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land and have left none of them anymore there.
29—Neither will I hide my face anymore from them: for I have poured out My Spirit upon the house of Israel, says Adonai YHVH.
Ezekiel 40 through 42—Instructions for building the temple during the millennium
Instructions for building the temple during the millennium
Note: YHVH will not share any part of His Holy Mountain with any other, (Ezekiel 43:12) which rules out the building of Ezekiel’s temple before the return of Christ, because the Dome of the Rock of Islam occupies its place. New Jerusalem is also ruled out since the Book of Revelation describes New Jerusalem as coming after the millennium and White Throne Judgment and has no physical temple. (Revelation 21:21-22)
1—In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of YHVH was upon me and brought me thither.
2—In the visions of Elohim brought he me into the land of Israel and set me upon a very high mountain, by which [was] as the frame of a city on the south.
3—And he brought me thither and, behold, [there was] a man, whose appearance [was] like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
4—And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with your eyes and hear with your ears and set your heart upon all that I shall show you; for to the intent that I might show [them] unto you [are] you brought here: declare all that you see to the house of Israel.
5—And behold a wall on the outside of the house roundabout and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits [long] by the cubit and a hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
6—Then he came unto the gate which looks toward the east and went up the stairs thereof and measured the threshold of the gate, [which was] one reed broad; and the other threshold [of the gate, which was] one reed broad.
7—And [every] little chamber [was] one reed long and one reed broad; and between the little chambers [were] five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within [was] one reed.
8—He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
9—Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate [was] inward.
10—And the little chambers of the gate eastward [were] three on this side and three on that side; they three [were] of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
11—And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; [and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
12—The space also before the little chambers [was] one cubit [on this side] and the space [was] one cubit on that side: and the little chambers [were] six cubits on this side and six cubits on that side.
13—He measured then the gate from the roof of [one] little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth [was] five and twenty cubits, door against door.
14—He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court roundabout the gate.
15—And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate [were] fifty cubits.
16—And [there were] narrow windows to the little chambers and to their posts within the gate roundabout and likewise to the arches: and windows [were] roundabout inward: and upon [each] post [were] palm trees.
17—Then brought he me into the outward court and, lo, [there were] chambers and a pavement made for the court roundabout: thirty chambers [were] upon the pavement.
18—And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates [was] the lower pavement.
19—Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, a hundred cubits eastward and northward.
20—And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof and the breadth thereof.
21—And the little chambers thereof [were] three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof [was] fifty cubits and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
22—And their windows and their arches and their palm trees, [were] after the measure of the gate that looks toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof [were] before them.
23—And the gate of the inner court [was] over against the gate toward the north and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits.
24—After that he brought me toward the south and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.
25—And [there were] windows in it and in the arches thereof roundabout, like those windows: the length [was] fifty cubits and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
26—And [there were] seven steps to go up to it and the arches thereof [were] before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
27—And [there was] a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.
28—And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
29—And the little chambers thereof and the posts thereof and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and [there were] windows in it and in the arches thereof roundabout: [it was] fifty cubits long and five and twenty cubits broad.
30—And the arches roundabout [were] five and twenty cubits long and five cubits broad.
31—And the arches thereof [were] toward the utter court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it [had] eight steps.
32—And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
33—And the little chambers thereof and the posts thereof and the arches thereof, [were] according to these measures: and [there were] windows therein and in the arches thereof roundabout: [it was] fifty cubits long and five and twenty cubits broad.
34—And the arches thereof [were] toward the outward court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side and on that side: and the going up to it [had] eight steps.
35—And he brought me to the north gate and measured [it] according to these measures;
36—The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof and the arches thereof and the windows to it roundabout: the length [was] fifty cubits and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
37—And the posts thereof [were] toward the utter court; and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side and on that side: and the going up to it [had] eight steps.
38—And the chambers and the entries thereof [were] by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
39—And in the porch of the gate [were] two tables on this side and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.
40—And at the side without, as one goes up to the entry of the north gate, [were] two tables; and on the other side, which [was] at the porch of the gate, [were] two tables.
41—Four tables [were] on this side and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew [their sacrifices].
42—And the four tables [were] of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and a half long and a cubit and a half broad and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
43—And within [were] hooks, a hand broad, fastened roundabout: and upon the tables [was] the flesh of the offering.
44—And without the inner gate [were] the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which [was] at the side of the north gate; and their prospect [was] toward the south: one at the side of the east gate [having] the prospect toward the north.
45—And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect [is] toward the south, [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
46—And the chamber whose prospect [is] toward the north [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these [are] the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to YHVH to minister unto him.
47—So he measured the court, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar [that was] before the house.
48—And he brought me to the porch of the house and measured [each] post of the porch, five cubits on this side and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate [was] three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.
49—The length of the porch [was] twenty cubits and the breadth eleven cubits; and [he brought me] by the steps whereby they went up to it: and [there were] pillars by the posts, one on this side and another on that side.
Ezekiel 41
1—Afterward he brought me to the temple and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side and six cubits broad on the other side, [which was] the breadth of the tabernacle.
2—And the breadth of the door [was] ten cubits; and the sides of the door [were] five cubits on the one side and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.
3—Then went he inward and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.
4—So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This [is] the most holy [place].
5—After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of [every] side chamber, four cubits, roundabout the house on every side.
6—And the side chambers [were] three, one over another and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which [was] of the house for the side chambers roundabout, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.
7—And [there was] an enlarging and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward roundabout the house: therefore the breadth of the house [was still] upward and so increased [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest by the midst.
8—I saw also the height of the house roundabout: the foundations of the side chambers [were] a full reed of six great cubits.
9—The thickness of the wall, which [was] for the side chamber without, [was] five cubits: and [that] which [was] left [was] the place of the side chambers that [were] within.
10—And between the chambers [was] the wideness of twenty cubits roundabout the house on every side.
11—And the doors of the side chambers [were] toward [the place that was] left, one door toward the north and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left [was] five cubits roundabout.
12—Now the building that [was] before the separate place at the end toward the west [was] seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building [was] five cubits thick roundabout and the length thereof ninety cubits.
13—So he measured the house, a hundred cubits long; and the separate place and the building, with the walls thereof, a hundred cubits long;
14—Also the breadth of the face of the house and of the separate place toward the east, a hundred cubits.
15—And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which [was] behind it and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, a hundred cubits, with the inner temple and the porches of the court;
16—The door posts and the narrow windows and the galleries roundabout on their three stories, over against the door, paneled with wood roundabout and from the ground up to the windows and the windows [were] covered;
17—To that above the door, even unto the inner house and without and by all the wall roundabout within and without, by measure.
18—And [it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every] cherub had two faces;
19—So that the face of a man [was] toward the palm tree on the one side and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: [it was] made through all the house roundabout.
20—From the ground unto above the door [were] cherubims and palm trees made and [on] the wall of the temple.
21—The posts of the temple [were] squared, [and] the face of the sanctuary; the appearance [of the one] as the appearance [of the other].
22—The altar of wood [was] three cubits high and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof and the length thereof and the walls thereof, [were] of wood: and he said unto me, This [is] the table that [is] before YHVH.
23—And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
24—And the doors had two leaves [apiece], two turning leaves; two [leaves] for the one door and two leaves for the other [door].
25—And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as [were] made upon the walls; and [there were] thick planks upon the face of the porch without.
26—And [there were] narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch and [upon] the side chambers of the house and thick planks.
Ezekiel 42
1—Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that [was] over against the separate place and which [was] before the building toward the north.
2—Before the length of a hundred cubits [was] the north door and the breadth [was] fifty cubits.
3—Over against the twenty [cubits] which [were] for the inner court and over against the pavement which [was] for the utter court, [was] gallery against gallery in three [stories].
4—And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
5—Now the upper chambers [were] shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower and than the middlemost of the building.
6—For they [were] in three [stories], but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore [the building] was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
7—And the wall that [was] without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof [was] fifty cubits.
8—For the length of the chambers that [were] in the utter court [was] fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple [were] a hundred cubits.
9—And from under these chambers [was] the entry on the east side, as one goes into them from the utter court.
10—The chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place and over against the building.
11—And the way before them [was] like the appearance of the chambers which [were] toward the north, as long as they, [and] as broad as they: and all their goings out [were] both according to their fashions and according to their doors.
12—And according to the doors of the chambers that [were] toward the south [was] a door in the head of the way, [even] the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one enters into them.
13—Then said he unto me, The north chambers [and] the south chambers, which [are] before the separate place, they [be] holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto YHVH shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things and the meat offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering; for the place [is] holy.
14—When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy [place] into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they [are] holy; and shall put on other garments and shall approach to [those things] which [are] for the people.
15—Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect [is] toward the east and measured it roundabout.
16—He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed roundabout.
17—He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed roundabout.
18—He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
19—He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
20—He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall roundabout, five hundred [reeds] long and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
Ezekiel 43 through 44—The place of the temple is on top and whole limit of the mountain; something that will not be possible again until after Armageddon. Ezekiel's temple has never been built. The place of the temple is on top and whole limit of the mountain. This can only happen after the wrath of YHVH destroys the opposition.
Ezekiel 43
1—Afterward he brought me to the gate, [even] the gate that looks toward the east:
2—And, behold, the glory of the Elohim of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice [was] like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
3—And [it was] according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, [even] according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions [were] like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
4—And the glory of YHVH came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect [is] toward the east.
5—So the Spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of YHVH filled the house.
6—And I heard [him] speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
7—And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, [neither] they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcasses of their kings in their high places.
8—In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds and their post by my posts and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
9—Now let them put away their whoredom and the carcasses of their kings, far from me and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.
10—You son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
11—And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, show them the form of the house and the fashion thereof and the goings out thereof and the comings in thereof and all the forms thereof and all the ordinances thereof and all the forms thereof and all the laws thereof: and write [it] in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof and all the ordinances thereof and do them.
YHVH will Not Share Any Part of His Holy Mountain (Ezekiel 43:12)
12—This [is] the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof roundabout [shall be] most holy. Behold, this [is] the law of the house.
13—And these [are] the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and a hand breadth; even the bottom [shall be] a cubit and the breadth a cubit and the border thereof by the edge thereof roundabout [shall be] a span: and this [shall be] the higher place of the altar.
14—And from the bottom [upon] the ground [even] to the lower settle [shall be] two cubits and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle [even] to the greater settle [shall be] four cubits and the breadth [one] cubit.
15—So the altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the altar and upward [shall be] four horns.
16—And the altar [shall be] twelve [cubits] long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
17—And the settle [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it [shall be] half a cubit; and the bottom thereof [shall be] a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.
18—And he said unto me, Son of man, thus says Adonai YHVH; These [are] the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon and to sprinkle blood thereon.
19—And you shall give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, says Adonai YHVH, a young bullock for a sin offering.
20—And you shall take of the blood thereof and put [it] on the four horns of it and on the four corners of the settle and upon the border roundabout: thus shall you cleanse and purge it.
21—You shall take the bullock also of the sin offering and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
22—And on the second day you shall offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse [it] with the bullock.
23—When you have made an end of cleansing [it], you shall offer a young bullock without blemish and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
24—And you shall offer them before YHVH and the priests shall cast salt upon them and they shall offer them up [for] a burnt offering unto YHVH.
25—Seven days shall you prepare every day a goat [for] a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
26—Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
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, says Adonai YHVH.
Ezekiel 44
1—Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looks toward the east; and it [was] shut.
2—Then said YHVH unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened and no man shall enter in by it; because YHVH, the Elohim of Israel, has entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
3—[It is] for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before YHVH; he shall enter by the way of the porch of [that] gate and shall go out by the way of the same.
4—Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked and, behold, the glory of YHVH filled the house of YHVH: and I fell upon my face.
5—And YHVH said unto me, Son of man, mark well and behold with your eyes and hear with your ears all that I say unto you concerning all the ordinances of the house of YHVH and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
6—And you shall say to the rebellious, [even] to the house of Israel, Thus says Adonai YHVH; O you house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
7—In that you have brought [into my sanctuary] strangers, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, [even] my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
8—And you have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but you have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
9—Thus says Adonai YHVH; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that [is] among the children of Israel.
10—And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11—Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, [having] charge at the gates of the house and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12—Because they ministered unto them before their idols and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, says Adonai YHVH and they shall bear their iniquity.
13—And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy [place]: but they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
14—But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof and for all that shall be done therein.
15—But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, says Adonai YHVH:
16—They shall enter into my sanctuary and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me and they shall keep my charge.
17—And it shall come to pass, [that] when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court and within.
18—They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird [themselves] with anything that causes sweat.
19—And when they go forth into the utter court, [even] into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered and lay them in the holy chambers and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
20—Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
21—Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
22—Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
23—And they shall teach my people [the difference] between the holy and profane and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24—And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; [and] they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my Sabbaths.
25—And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26—And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
27—And in the day that he goes into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, says Adonai YHVH.
28—And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I [am] their inheritance: and you shall give them no possession in Israel: I [am] their possession.
29—They shall eat the meat offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering; and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30—And the first of all the first fruits of all [things] and every oblation of all, of every [sort] of your oblations, shall be the priest's: you shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in your house.
31—The priests shall not eat of anything that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
Ezekiel 45 through 48—Dividing the land among the twelve tribes in the millennium
Ezekiel 45
25—In the seventh [month], in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering and according to the meat offering and according to the oil.
Ezekiel 46
24—Then said he unto me, These [are] the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
Ezekiel 47—Whoever comes to the river shall live
22—And it shall come to pass, [that] you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23—And it shall come to pass, [that] in what tribe the stranger sojourns, there shall you give [him] his inheritance, says Adonai YHVH.
Ezekiel 48—The names of the tribes and their portions
35—[It was] roundabout eighteen thousand [measures]: and the name of the city from [that] day [shall be], YHVH [is] there. (Revelation 21:15-17, approximately 1,500 miles square which would cover the entire area of Israel and all of the nations around her from ocean to ocean)
Note: The area of this city will cover approximately the area from Turkey to Egypt and from the Mediterranean Sea to the Arabian Sea, or nation-wise, the ten nations around Israel.
