Hello, and welcome
to "His words are life."
00:00:14.90\00:00:17.30
I am Kelly Mowrer and
today we're going to continue
00:00:17.31\00:00:20.18
reading from
the Book of Ezekiel.
00:00:20.19\00:00:22.46
But before we
start, lets pray together.
00:00:22.47\00:00:25.66
Dear Heavenly Father,
00:00:25.67\00:00:27.27
thank you so
much for redeeming us.
00:00:27.28\00:00:31.00
Thank you that
while we were yet sinners,
00:00:31.01\00:00:33.96
You died for us, and thank you
00:00:33.97\00:00:35.92
that You found
us in all the places
00:00:35.93\00:00:38.06
that we're scattered and broken
00:00:38.07\00:00:40.42
and You bring us
home and You heal us.
00:00:40.43\00:00:42.99
Please be with us
now, as we continue to read
00:00:43.00\00:00:45.63
from the Book of
Ezekiel, Your prophet.
00:00:45.64\00:00:48.53
We love you so much
00:00:48.54\00:00:49.53
and thank you
for loving us, amen.
00:00:49.54\00:00:53.15
We're picking up in the
middle of Chapter 41 of Ezekiel
00:00:53.16\00:00:57.04
starting with verse 12
and we're in the middle
00:00:57.05\00:00:59.85
of the measuring of the
temple that Ezekiel is watching.
00:00:59.86\00:01:04.31
This is the King James Version.
00:01:04.32\00:01:07.46
"Now the building that
was before the separate place
00:01:07.47\00:01:09.86
at the end toward the
west was seventy cubits broad,
00:01:09.87\00:01:13.96
and the wall of the building
00:01:13.97\00:01:15.00
was five cubits
thick round about,
00:01:15.01\00:01:16.96
and the length
thereof ninety cubits.
00:01:16.97\00:01:19.16
So he measured the
house, an hundred cubits long,
00:01:19.17\00:01:21.51
and the separate
place, and the building,
00:01:21.52\00:01:23.03
with the walls
thereof, an hundred cubits long,
00:01:23.04\00:01:25.72
Also the breadth of
the face of the house,
00:01:25.73\00:01:27.55
and of the separate
place toward the east,
00:01:27.56\00:01:29.50
an hundred cubits.
00:01:29.51\00:01:31.35
And he measured the
length of the building
00:01:31.36\00:01:32.84
over against the separate place
00:01:32.85\00:01:34.52
which was behind it,
00:01:34.53\00:01:36.01
and the galleries
thereof on the one side
00:01:36.02\00:01:38.22
and on the other
side, an hundred cubits,
00:01:38.23\00:01:40.30
with the inner temple,
and the porches of the court,
00:01:40.31\00:01:43.79
The door posts,
and the narrow windows,
00:01:43.80\00:01:46.09
and the galleries round
about on their three stories,
00:01:46.10\00:01:49.29
over against the door,
cieled with wood round about,
00:01:49.30\00:01:53.46
and from the
ground up to the windows,
00:01:53.47\00:01:55.39
and the windows were
covered, To that above the door,
00:01:55.40\00:01:58.70
even unto the
inner house, and without,
00:01:58.71\00:02:00.75
and by all the wall round about
00:02:00.76\00:02:02.55
within and without, by measure.
00:02:02.56\00:02:05.46
And it was made with
cherubims and palm trees,
00:02:05.47\00:02:09.26
so that a palm tree
was between a cherub
00:02:09.27\00:02:11.93
and a cherub, and
every cherub had two faces,
00:02:11.94\00:02:16.18
So that the face of a man
00:02:16.19\00:02:18.30
was toward the palm
tree on the one side,
00:02:18.31\00:02:21.37
and the face of a young lion
00:02:21.38\00:02:22.69
toward the palm
tree on the other side,
00:02:22.70\00:02:24.10
it was made through
all the house round about.
00:02:24.11\00:02:27.37
From the ground unto
above the door were cherubims
00:02:27.38\00:02:31.15
and palm trees made, and
on the wall of the temple.
00:02:31.16\00:02:34.48
The posts of the
temple were squared,
00:02:34.49\00:02:37.04
and the face of the sanctuary,
00:02:37.05\00:02:39.33
the appearance of the one
as the appearance of the other.
00:02:39.34\00:02:43.19
The altar of wood
was three cubits high,
00:02:43.20\00:02:45.94
and the length
thereof two cubits,
00:02:45.95\00:02:47.70
and the corners
thereof, and the length thereof,
00:02:47.71\00:02:49.64
and the walls
thereof, were of wood,
00:02:49.65\00:02:53.07
and he said unto me,
00:02:53.08\00:02:55.10
This is the table
that is before the Lord.
00:02:55.11\00:02:59.14
And the temple and the sanctuary
00:02:59.15\00:03:00.46
had two doors.
00:03:00.47\00:03:02.33
And the doors had
two leaves apiece,
00:03:02.34\00:03:04.89
two turning leaves, two
leaves for the one door,
00:03:04.90\00:03:07.98
and two leaves
for the other door.
00:03:07.99\00:03:10.10
And there were made on them,
on the doors of the temple,
00:03:10.11\00:03:13.33
cherubims and palm trees,
00:03:13.34\00:03:15.98
like as were
made upon the walls,
00:03:15.99\00:03:18.38
and there were thick planks
00:03:18.39\00:03:20.08
upon the face of
the porch without.
00:03:20.09\00:03:23.40
And there were narrow windows
00:03:23.41\00:03:25.05
and palm trees on the one
side and on the other side,
00:03:25.06\00:03:28.59
on the sides of the porch,
00:03:28.60\00:03:29.84
and upon the side
chambers of the house,
00:03:29.85\00:03:32.24
and thick planks."
00:03:32.25\00:03:34.71
Continuing to read
in Ezekiel Chapter 42
00:03:34.72\00:03:37.66
and this is the
King James Version.
00:03:37.67\00:03:40.53
"Then he brought me
forth into the utter court,
00:03:40.54\00:03:43.54
the way toward the north,
00:03:43.55\00:03:45.31
and he brought
me into the chamber
00:03:45.32\00:03:46.66
that was over
against the separate place,
00:03:46.67\00:03:48.74
and which was before the
building toward the north.
00:03:48.75\00:03:51.76
Before the length
of an hundred cubits
00:03:51.77\00:03:53.78
was the north door,
00:03:53.79\00:03:55.34
and the breadth
was fifty cubits.
00:03:55.35\00:03:57.59
Over against the twenty cubits
00:03:57.60\00:03:59.61
which were for the inner court,
00:03:59.62\00:04:01.02
and over against the pavement
00:04:01.03\00:04:02.71
which was for the utter court,
00:04:02.72\00:04:04.38
was gallery against
gallery in three stories.
00:04:04.39\00:04:08.76
And before the chambers
00:04:08.77\00:04:09.92
was a walk to ten
cubits breadth inward,
00:04:09.93\00:04:13.69
a way of one cubit,
00:04:13.70\00:04:15.55
and their doors
toward the north.
00:04:15.56\00:04:17.95
Now the upper
chambers were shorter,
00:04:17.96\00:04:20.05
for the galleries
were higher than these,
00:04:20.06\00:04:22.13
than the lower,
00:04:22.14\00:04:23.41
and than the
middlemost of the building.
00:04:23.42\00:04:25.95
For they were in three stories,
00:04:25.96\00:04:27.76
but had not pillars as
the pillars of the courts,
00:04:27.77\00:04:30.26
therefore the
building was straitened
00:04:30.27\00:04:32.32
more than the lowest
00:04:32.33\00:04:33.41
and the
middlemost from the ground.
00:04:33.42\00:04:35.79
And the wall that was without
over against the chambers,
00:04:35.80\00:04:38.73
toward the utter court
00:04:38.74\00:04:39.73
on the forepart of the chambers,
00:04:39.74\00:04:41.34
and the length
thereof was fifty cubits.
00:04:41.35\00:04:44.22
For the length of the chambers
00:04:44.23\00:04:45.55
that were in the utter
court was fifty cubits,
00:04:45.56\00:04:48.51
and, lo, before the
temple were an hundred cubits.
00:04:48.52\00:04:52.60
And from under these chambers
00:04:52.61\00:04:54.13
was the entry on the east side,
00:04:54.14\00:04:55.74
as one goeth into
them from the utter court.
00:04:55.75\00:04:59.53
The chambers were in
the thickness of the wall
00:04:59.54\00:05:01.85
of the court toward the east,
00:05:01.86\00:05:03.52
over against the separate place,
00:05:03.53\00:05:05.26
and over against the building.
00:05:05.27\00:05:07.44
And the way before them was like
00:05:07.45\00:05:09.11
the appearance of the chambers
which were toward the north,
00:05:09.12\00:05:11.43
as long as they,
and as broad as they,
00:05:11.44\00:05:14.73
and all their goings out
00:05:14.74\00:05:15.90
were both
according to their fashions,
00:05:15.91\00:05:17.63
and according to their doors.
00:05:17.64\00:05:19.87
And according to the
doors of the chambers
00:05:19.88\00:05:21.69
that were toward the south
00:05:21.70\00:05:23.46
was a door in
the head of the way,
00:05:23.47\00:05:25.64
even the way directly
before the wall toward the east,
00:05:25.65\00:05:28.32
as one entereth into them.
00:05:28.33\00:05:30.85
Then said he unto me,
00:05:30.86\00:05:33.46
The north chambers
and the south chambers,
00:05:33.47\00:05:36.03
which are before
the separate place,
00:05:36.04\00:05:38.55
they be holy chambers,
00:05:38.56\00:05:41.02
where the priests
that approach unto the Lord
00:05:41.03\00:05:43.18
shall eat the most holy things,
00:05:43.19\00:05:46.30
there shall they lay
the most holy things,
00:05:46.31\00:05:49.88
and the meat
offering, and the sin offering,
00:05:49.89\00:05:51.90
and the trespass
offering, for the place is holy.
00:05:51.91\00:05:57.01
When the priests enter therein,
00:05:57.02\00:05:59.01
then shall they not
go out of the holy place
00:05:59.02\00:06:01.51
into the utter court, but there
00:06:01.52\00:06:03.72
they shall lay their
garments wherein they minister,
00:06:03.73\00:06:06.84
for they are holy, and
shall put on other garments,
00:06:06.85\00:06:10.35
and shall
approach to those things
00:06:10.36\00:06:12.05
which are for the people.
00:06:12.06\00:06:14.70
Now when he had made an end
of measuring the inner house,
00:06:14.71\00:06:18.51
he brought me
forth toward the gate
00:06:18.52\00:06:20.47
whose prospect
is toward the east,
00:06:20.48\00:06:22.35
and measured it round about.
00:06:22.36\00:06:25.32
He measured the east
side with the measuring reed,
00:06:25.33\00:06:27.74
five hundred reeds,
00:06:27.75\00:06:28.84
with the
measuring reed round about.
00:06:28.85\00:06:31.38
He measured the north
side, five hundred reeds,
00:06:31.39\00:06:34.11
with the
measuring reed round about.
00:06:34.12\00:06:36.55
He measured the south side,
00:06:36.56\00:06:38.09
five hundred reeds,
with the measuring reed.
00:06:38.10\00:06:41.63
He turned about
to the west side,
00:06:41.64\00:06:43.43
and measured five hundred reeds
00:06:43.44\00:06:44.78
with the measuring reed.
00:06:44.79\00:06:46.03
He measured it
by the four sides,
00:06:46.04\00:06:47.63
it had a wall round
about, five hundred reeds long,
00:06:47.64\00:06:51.43
and five hundred
broad, to make a separation
00:06:51.44\00:06:54.39
between the sanctuary
and the profane place."
00:06:54.40\00:06:58.71
Continuing
reading Ezekiel Chapter 43
00:06:58.72\00:07:01.17
and this is the
King James Version.
00:07:01.18\00:07:05.18
"Afterward he
brought me to the gate,
00:07:05.19\00:07:06.95
even the gate that
looketh toward the east,
00:07:06.96\00:07:09.51
And, behold, the
glory of the God of Israel
00:07:09.52\00:07:13.49
came from the way of the east,
00:07:13.50\00:07:15.79
and his voice was like
a noise of many waters,
00:07:15.80\00:07:19.32
and the earth
shined with his glory.
00:07:19.33\00:07:22.60
And it was according to
the appearance of the vision
00:07:22.61\00:07:24.89
which I saw, even
according to the vision
00:07:24.90\00:07:27.51
that I saw when I
came to destroy the city,
00:07:27.52\00:07:29.79
and the visions
were like the vision
00:07:29.80\00:07:31.62
that I saw by the river Chebar,
00:07:31.63\00:07:34.25
and I fell upon my face.
00:07:34.26\00:07:37.36
And the glory of the
Lord came into the house
00:07:37.37\00:07:40.32
by the way of the gate
00:07:40.33\00:07:41.30
whose prospect
is toward the east.
00:07:41.31\00:07:43.47
So the spirit took me up,
00:07:43.48\00:07:45.32
and brought me
into the inner court,
00:07:45.33\00:07:47.67
and, behold, the glory of
the Lord filled the house.
00:07:47.68\00:07:51.81
And I heard him speaking
unto me out of the house,
00:07:51.82\00:07:55.99
and the man stood by me.
00:07:56.00\00:07:58.23
And he said unto me, Son of man,
00:07:58.24\00:08:00.60
the place of my throne,
00:08:00.61\00:08:02.84
and the place of
the soles of my feet,
00:08:02.85\00:08:05.74
where I will dwell
00:08:05.75\00:08:07.01
in the midst of the
children of Israel for ever,
00:08:07.02\00:08:10.10
and my holy name,
00:08:10.11\00:08:11.70
shall the house of
Israel no more defile,
00:08:11.71\00:08:15.03
neither they, nor their kings,
00:08:15.04\00:08:17.53
by their whoredom,
nor by the carcases
00:08:17.54\00:08:19.44
of their kings in
their high places.
00:08:19.45\00:08:21.94
In their setting of their
threshold by my thresholds,
00:08:21.95\00:08:24.91
and their post by my posts,
00:08:24.92\00:08:27.32
and the wall
between me and them,
00:08:27.33\00:08:28.95
they have even
defiled my holy name
00:08:28.96\00:08:30.65
by their abominations
that they have committed,
00:08:30.66\00:08:33.46
wherefore I have
consumed them in mine anger.
00:08:33.47\00:08:37.38
Now let them put
away their whoredom,
00:08:37.39\00:08:39.58
and the carcases of
their kings, far from me,
00:08:39.59\00:08:42.90
and I will dwell in
the midst of them for ever.
00:08:42.91\00:08:46.25
Thou son of man,
00:08:46.26\00:08:47.30
shew the house to
the house of Israel,
00:08:47.31\00:08:50.29
that they may be
ashamed of their iniquities,
00:08:50.30\00:08:53.53
and let them
measure the pattern.
00:08:53.54\00:08:55.73
And if they be ashamed
of all that they have done,
00:08:55.74\00:08:58.74
shew them the form of the house,
00:08:58.75\00:09:00.35
and the fashion thereof,
and the goings out thereof,
00:09:00.36\00:09:02.47
and the comings in thereof,
and all the forms thereof,
00:09:02.48\00:09:05.32
and all the ordinances thereof,
00:09:05.33\00:09:06.83
and all the forms thereof,
and all the laws thereof,
00:09:06.84\00:09:09.61
and write it in their sight,
00:09:09.62\00:09:11.43
that they may keep
the whole form thereof,
00:09:11.44\00:09:14.07
and all the
ordinances thereof, and do them.
00:09:14.08\00:09:18.31
This is the law of the house,
00:09:18.32\00:09:20.91
Upon the top of the mountain
00:09:20.92\00:09:22.25
the whole limit thereof
round about shall be most holy.
00:09:22.26\00:09:27.12
Behold, this is
the law of the house.
00:09:27.13\00:09:30.21
And these are the measures
of the altar after the cubits,
00:09:30.22\00:09:34.23
The cubit is a
cubit and an hand breadth,
00:09:34.24\00:09:37.13
even the bottom
shall be a cubit,
00:09:37.14\00:09:39.34
and the breadth a cubit,
00:09:39.35\00:09:40.66
and the border
thereof by the edge thereof
00:09:40.67\00:09:42.75
round about shall be a span,
00:09:42.76\00:09:44.59
and this shall be the
higher place of the altar.
00:09:44.60\00:09:47.70
And from the
bottom upon the ground
00:09:47.71\00:09:49.34
even to the lower
settle shall be two cubits,
00:09:49.35\00:09:52.26
and the breadth one cubit,
00:09:52.27\00:09:54.31
and from the lesser settle
even to the greater settle
00:09:54.32\00:09:56.83
shall be four cubits,
and the breadth one cubit.
00:09:56.84\00:09:59.42
So the altar
shall be four cubits,
00:09:59.43\00:10:01.22
and from the altar and upward
00:10:01.23\00:10:03.20
shall be four horns.
00:10:03.21\00:10:05.61
And the altar shall
be twelve cubits long,
00:10:05.62\00:10:08.08
twelve broad, square in
the four squares thereof.
00:10:08.09\00:10:12.23
And the settle shall
be fourteen cubits long
00:10:12.24\00:10:14.49
and fourteen broad in
the four squares thereof,
00:10:14.50\00:10:18.62
and the border about
it shall be half a cubit,
00:10:18.63\00:10:20.92
and the bottom thereof
shall be a cubit about,
00:10:20.93\00:10:24.03
and his stairs shall
look toward the east.
00:10:24.04\00:10:28.02
And he said unto me, Son of man,
00:10:28.03\00:10:30.18
thus saith the Lord God,
00:10:30.19\00:10:32.37
These are the
ordinances of the altar
00:10:32.38\00:10:34.80
in the day when
they shall make it,
00:10:34.81\00:10:36.50
to offer burnt
offerings thereon,
00:10:36.51\00:10:38.29
and to sprinkle blood thereon.
00:10:38.30\00:10:40.84
And thou shalt
give to the priests
00:10:40.85\00:10:43.12
the Levites that be
of the seed of Zadok,
00:10:43.13\00:10:46.13
which approach unto
me, to minister unto me,
00:10:46.14\00:10:48.74
saith the Lord God,
00:10:48.75\00:10:50.40
a young bullock
for a sin offering.
00:10:50.41\00:10:53.71
And thou shalt take
of the blood thereof,
00:10:53.72\00:10:55.47
and put it on
the four horns of it,
00:10:55.48\00:10:57.30
and on the four
corners of the settle,
00:10:57.31\00:10:59.41
and upon the border round about,
00:10:59.42\00:11:01.87
thus shalt thou
cleanse and purge it.
00:11:01.88\00:11:05.47
Thou shalt take the bullock
also of the sin offering,
00:11:05.48\00:11:08.42
and he shall burn it
00:11:08.43\00:11:09.53
in the appointed
place of the house,
00:11:09.54\00:11:11.25
without the sanctuary.
00:11:11.26\00:11:12.68
And on the second day thou
shalt offer a kid of the goats
00:11:12.69\00:11:15.85
without blemish
for a sin offering,
00:11:15.86\00:11:18.56
and they shall
cleanse the altar,
00:11:18.57\00:11:19.90
as they did cleanse
it with the bullock.
00:11:19.91\00:11:23.16
When thou hast made
an end of cleansing it,
00:11:23.17\00:11:25.83
thou shalt offer a young bullock
00:11:25.84\00:11:27.52
without blemish,
00:11:27.53\00:11:29.12
and a ram out of the
flock without blemish.
00:11:29.13\00:11:32.12
And thou shalt offer
them before the Lord,
00:11:32.13\00:11:33.90
and the priests
shall cast salt upon them,
00:11:33.91\00:11:36.81
and they shall offer them up
00:11:36.82\00:11:38.90
for a burnt
offering unto the Lord.
00:11:38.91\00:11:42.04
Seven days shalt thou prepare
00:11:42.05\00:11:44.45
every day a goat
for a sin offering,
00:11:44.46\00:11:47.87
they shall also
prepare a young bullock,
00:11:47.88\00:11:50.81
and a ram out of the
flock, without blemish.
00:11:50.82\00:11:53.88
Seven days shall they
purge the altar and purify it,
00:11:53.89\00:11:56.39
and they shall
consecrate themselves.
00:11:56.40\00:11:58.19
And when these days are expired,
00:11:58.20\00:12:00.34
it shall be, that
upon the eighth day,
00:12:00.35\00:12:03.13
and so forward, the priests
00:12:03.14\00:12:05.42
shall make your burnt offerings
00:12:05.43\00:12:07.04
upon the altar, and
your peace offerings,
00:12:07.05\00:12:10.07
and I will accept
you, saith the Lord God."
00:12:10.08\00:12:14.03
Continuing with
Ezekiel Chapter 44
00:12:14.04\00:12:16.70
and this is the
King James Version.
00:12:16.71\00:12:20.29
"Then he brought me
back the way of the gate
00:12:20.30\00:12:22.49
of the outward sanctuary
which looketh toward the east,
00:12:22.50\00:12:26.54
and it was shut.
00:12:26.55\00:12:28.72
Then said the Lord unto
me, This gate shall be shut,
00:12:28.73\00:12:32.46
it shall not be opened,
00:12:32.47\00:12:34.22
and no man shall enter in by it,
00:12:34.23\00:12:37.17
because the Lord,
the God of Israel,
00:12:37.18\00:12:40.20
hath entered in by it,
therefore it shall be shut.
00:12:40.21\00:12:44.56
It is for the
prince, the prince,
00:12:44.57\00:12:47.43
he shall sit in it to
eat bread before the Lord,
00:12:47.44\00:12:50.47
he shall enter by the way
of the porch of that gate,
00:12:50.48\00:12:53.64
and shall go out by
the way of the same.
00:12:53.65\00:12:57.37
Then brought he me
the way of the north gate
00:12:57.38\00:13:00.31
before the house, and I looked,
00:13:00.32\00:13:03.04
and, behold, the
glory of the Lord
00:13:03.05\00:13:05.10
filled the house of the Lord,
00:13:05.11\00:13:07.05
and I fell upon my face.
00:13:07.06\00:13:09.68
And the Lord said unto
me, Son of man, mark well,
00:13:09.69\00:13:13.33
and behold with thine eyes,
00:13:13.34\00:13:14.93
and hear with thine
ears all that I say unto thee
00:13:14.94\00:13:19.14
concerning all the ordinances
of the house of the Lord,
00:13:19.15\00:13:21.70
and all the laws thereof,
00:13:21.71\00:13:23.90
and mark well the
entering in of the house,
00:13:23.91\00:13:26.69
with every going
forth of the sanctuary.
00:13:26.70\00:13:30.21
And thou shalt
say to the rebellious,
00:13:30.22\00:13:32.24
even to the house of
Israel, Thus saith the Lord God,
00:13:32.25\00:13:36.25
O ye house of Israel,
00:13:36.26\00:13:38.60
let it suffice you of
all your abominations,
00:13:38.61\00:13:41.38
In that ye have brought
into my sanctuary strangers,
00:13:41.39\00:13:45.05
uncircumcised in heart,
and uncircumcised in flesh,
00:13:45.06\00:13:48.79
to be in my
sanctuary, to pollute it,
00:13:48.80\00:13:50.85
even my house,
when ye offer my bread,
00:13:50.86\00:13:53.64
the fat and the blood,
00:13:53.65\00:13:54.98
and they have broken my covenant
00:13:54.99\00:13:56.65
because of all
your abominations.
00:13:56.66\00:13:58.93
And ye have not kept
00:13:58.94\00:13:59.93
the charge of mine holy things,
00:13:59.94\00:14:02.34
but ye have set
keepers of my charge
00:14:02.35\00:14:04.32
in my sanctuary for yourselves.
00:14:04.33\00:14:07.31
Thus saith the
Lord God, No stranger,
00:14:07.32\00:14:10.82
uncircumcised in heart,
nor uncircumcised in flesh,
00:14:10.83\00:14:15.67
shall enter into my sanctuary,
00:14:15.68\00:14:17.61
of any stranger that is
among the children of Israel.
00:14:17.62\00:14:21.88
And the Levites that
are gone away far from me,
00:14:21.89\00:14:25.26
when Israel went astray,
00:14:25.27\00:14:26.58
which went astray away
from me after their idols,
00:14:26.59\00:14:30.32
they shall even
bear their iniquity.
00:14:30.33\00:14:33.56
Yet they shall be
ministers in my sanctuary,
00:14:33.57\00:14:37.65
having charge at
the gates of the house,
00:14:37.66\00:14:40.52
and ministering to the house."
00:14:40.53\00:14:42.57
