Changes

Certainly the Temple that [[Ezekiel]] saw in his [[vision]] has not yet been built, so it must refer to a future time. Most [[Bible]] students interpret this to be a great millennial Temple that will be filled with [[God]]'s glory during Christ's 1,000 year reign on earth. [[Ezekiel]] was told to reveal these plans to the people to make them ashamed of their sins and rebellion (chapter 43:10,11). It is not necessary to go into detail in our comments, but we should note that the sizes are all increased so that the entire sacred area is almost fifty square miles. Just how all of this is going to fit into the land and the city of [[Jerusalem]] we are not told. Perhaps there will be changes in the land, or perhaps these dimensions are an expression of the greatness of the Temple when it is built.
