New Heart, New Spirit Ezekiel 42:1-20God has always wanted His people to have a very special place where they can worship Him and seek His face in prayer. From the beginning of history, God's people have worshipped Him at some kind of temple or sanctuary. Ezekiel describes the Upper and Lower Priest chambers surrounding the inner court of the temple. These chambers served various purposes, including housing for the priests who served in the temple and storage for the offerings and utensils used in worship. The chapter provides detailed measurements and layouts of these chambers, emphasizing the importance of order and organization within the temple complex. Additionally, it mentions specific regulations regarding the use of these spaces and the access granted to different groups within the community. Ezekiel highlights the careful planning and design of the temple complex as envisioned by the prophet Ezekiel. The detailed descriptions of the chambers surrounding the inner court of the temple symbolize the importance of reverence and structure in spiritual practice. Just as the temple complex was meticulously planned and organized, believers are encouraged to approach their worship with care, mindfulness, and respect.The regulations outlined in this chapter reflect the idea of holiness and purity before God. The separation of spaces and the specific instructions regarding access for different groups underscore the concept of sacredness and the need for purity in approaching the divine presence. This serves as a reminder for believers to approach God with humility, reverence, and obedience.
