Ezekiel 45-46 More Kingdom Age changes, yet ....

God gave Ezekiel modifications to the divisions of land which had been made during Joshua’s rule, along with modifications to the methods of presenting sacrifices.  My commentary noted that the prince mentioned would not be Messiah, since he would be giving offerings for the renewal of his own sin and would be married and have sons.

Again we see rules for entering and leaving the worship area.  Those who enter through the north gate must exist through the south gate and vice versa.  Even during the Kingdom Age, people should expect to be changed by their worship experiences and come out different than they were when they went in.

Father, some of what I read seems hard to reconcile, like the need for daily offerings when Christ has already removed our sins.  Yet You are wise and You will someday show us what this means and why.  And with Your explanation, I know that we will say, “Of course!”

Your Brother In Christ,

Gary Ford
