00:00:31.92\00:00:33.89 Please be with us now, 00:00:33.90\00:00:35.08 as we read and show us the ways 00:00:35.09\00:00:38.21 that these messages applied to the situations 00:00:38.22\00:00:40.89 that we're each going through right now, 00:00:40.90\00:00:43.58 Thank you for loving us 00:00:43.59\00:00:44.62 and we love You so much, amen. 00:00:44.63\00:00:47.80 We're reading in the Book of Ezekiel 00:00:47.81\00:00:49.94 and in Chapter 44 starting with verse 11 00:00:49.95\00:00:53.90 and this is the King James Version. 00:00:53.91\00:00:57.29 "Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, 00:00:57.30\00:01:00.55 having charge at the gates of the house, 00:01:00.56\00:01:03.20 and ministering to the house, 00:01:03.21\00:01:05.46 they shall slay the burnt offering 00:01:05.47\00:01:07.41 and the sacrifice for the people, 00:01:07.42\00:01:08.92 and they shall stand before them 00:01:08.93\00:01:10.99 to minister unto them. 00:01:11.00\00:01:12.83 Because they ministered unto them 00:01:12.84\00:01:14.77 before their idols, 00:01:14.78\00:01:16.13 and caused the house of Israel 00:01:16.14\00:01:17.25 to fall into iniquity, therefore have I lifted up 00:01:17.26\00:01:20.33 mine hand against them, saith the Lord God, 00:01:20.34\00:01:22.39 and they shall bear their iniquity. 00:01:22.40\00:01:24.99 And they shall not come near unto me, 00:01:25.00\00:01:26.69 to do the office of a priest unto me, 00:01:26.70\00:01:28.97 nor to come near to any of my holy things, 00:01:28.98\00:01:31.30 in the most holy place, 00:01:31.31\00:01:32.99 but they shall bear their shame, 00:01:33.00\00:01:34.95 and their abominations which they have committed. 00:01:34.96\00:01:38.60 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, 00:01:38.61\00:01:41.99 for all the service thereof, 00:01:42.00\00:01:43.40 and for all that shall be done therein. 00:01:43.41\00:01:46.66 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, 00:01:46.67\00:01:50.11 that kept the charge of my sanctuary 00:01:50.12\00:01:51.89 when the children of Israel went astray from me, 00:01:51.90\00:01:55.03 they shall come near to me to minister unto me, 00:01:55.04\00:01:58.25 and they shall stand before me to offer unto me 00:01:58.26\00:02:00.56 the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God, 00:02:00.57\00:02:03.64 They shall enter into my sanctuary, 00:02:03.65\00:02:05.42 and they shall come near to my table, 00:02:05.43\00:02:07.37 to minister unto me, 00:02:07.38\00:02:09.29 and they shall keep my charge. 00:02:09.30\00:02:11.93 And it shall come to pass, 00:02:11.94\00:02:13.53 that when they enter in 00:02:13.54\00:02:15.06 at the gates of the inner court, 00:02:15.07\00:02:17.23 they shall be clothed with linen garments, 00:02:17.24\00:02:20.00 and no wool shall come upon them, 00:02:20.01\00:02:22.26 whiles they minister in the gates 00:02:22.27\00:02:23.60 of the inner court within. 00:02:23.61\00:02:25.66 They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, 00:02:25.67\00:02:27.96 and shall have linen breeches upon their loins, 00:02:27.97\00:02:30.94 they shall not gird themselves 00:02:30.95\00:02:32.28 with any thing that causeth sweat. 00:02:32.29\00:02:35.16 And when they go forth into the utter court, 00:02:35.17\00:02:37.12 even into the utter court to the people, 00:02:37.13\00:02:39.98 they shall put off their garments 00:02:39.99\00:02:41.48 wherein they ministered, and lay them 00:02:41.49\00:02:43.39 in the holy chambers, 00:02:43.40\00:02:44.89 and they shall put on other garments, 00:02:44.90\00:02:47.25 and they shall not sanctify 00:02:47.26\00:02:48.53 the people with their garments. 00:02:48.54\00:02:50.22 Neither shall they shave their heads, 00:02:50.23\00:02:52.43 nor suffer their locks to grow long, 00:02:52.44\00:02:55.44 they shall only poll their heads. 00:02:55.45\00:02:58.02 Neither shall any priest drink wine, 00:02:58.03\00:02:59.89 when they enter into the inner court. 00:02:59.90\00:03:01.93 Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, 00:03:01.94\00:03:04.77 nor her that is put away, 00:03:04.78\00:03:06.86 but they shall take maidens 00:03:06.87\00:03:08.48 of the seed of the house of Israel, 00:03:08.49\00:03:10.59 or a widow that had a priest before. 00:03:10.60\00:03:14.41 And they shall teach my people 00:03:14.42\00:03:16.25 the difference between the holy and profane, 00:03:16.26\00:03:20.17 and cause them to discern 00:03:20.18\00:03:22.12 between the unclean and the clean. 00:03:22.13\00:03:24.03 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment, 00:03:24.04\00:03:27.38 and they shall judge it according to my judgments, 00:03:27.39\00:03:30.71 and they shall keep my laws and my statutes 00:03:30.72\00:03:33.09 in all mine assemblies, 00:03:33.10\00:03:35.40 and they shall hallow my sabbaths. 00:03:35.41\00:03:38.50 And they shall come at no dead person 00:03:38.51\00:03:41.16 to defile themselves, but for father, 00:03:41.17\00:03:44.43 or for mother, or for son, 00:03:44.44\00:03:46.40 or for daughter, for brother, 00:03:46.41\00:03:48.60 or for sister that hath had no husband, 00:03:48.61\00:03:51.06 they may defile themselves. 00:03:51.07\00:03:53.51 And after he is cleansed, 00:03:53.52\00:03:55.19 they shall reckon unto him seven days. 00:03:55.20\00:03:58.07 And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, 00:03:58.08\00:04:00.51 unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, 00:04:00.52\00:04:04.00 he shall offer his sin offering, 00:04:04.01\00:04:05.93 saith the Lord God. 00:04:05.94\00:04:07.88 And it shall be unto them for an inheritance, 00:04:07.89\00:04:10.38 I am their inheritance, 00:04:10.39\00:04:13.01 and ye shall give them no possession in Israel, 00:04:13.02\00:04:16.11 I am their possession. 00:04:16.12\00:04:18.80 They shall eat the meat offering, 00:04:18.81\00:04:20.92 and the sin offering, and the trespass offering, 00:04:20.93\00:04:24.10 and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs. 00:04:24.11\00:04:28.55 And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, 00:04:28.56\00:04:31.97 and every oblation of all, 00:04:31.98\00:04:33.84 of every sort of your oblations, 00:04:33.85\00:04:35.35 shall be the priest's, 00:04:35.36\00:04:37.15 ye shall also give unto the priest 00:04:37.16\00:04:39.29 the first of your dough, 00:04:39.30\00:04:41.14 that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house. 00:04:41.15\00:04:45.39 The priests shall not eat of any thing 00:04:45.40\00:04:47.56 that is dead of itself, or torn, 00:04:47.57\00:04:50.84 whether it be fowl or beast." 00:04:50.85\00:04:54.39 Continuing in Ezekiel Chapter 45 00:04:54.40\00:04:57.12 and this is the King James Version.

00:05:19.75\00:05:22.06 five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, 00:05:22.07\00:05:25.25 square round about, and fifty cubits round about 00:05:25.26\00:05:28.40 for the suburbs thereof. 00:05:28.41\00:05:30.64 And of this measure shalt thou measure 00:05:30.65\00:05:32.44 the length of five and twenty thousand, 00:05:32.45\00:05:34.85 and the breadth of ten thousand,

00:08:11.10\00:08:12.69 shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel. 00:08:12.70\00:08:17.02 And it shall be the prince's part 00:08:17.03\00:08:19.11 to give burnt offerings, and meat

And he shall prepare a meat offering, 00:11:09.09\00:11:10.90 an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, 00:11:10.91\00:11:13.96 and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, 00:11:13.97\00:11:17.55 and an hin of oil to an ephah. 00:11:17.56\00:11:20.74 And when the prince shall enter, 00:11:20.75\00:11:22.87 he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, 00:11:22.88\00:11:25.36 and he shall go forth by the way thereof. 00:11:25.37\00:11:28.54 But when the people of the land 00:11:28.55\00:11:29.89 shall come before the Lord in the solemn feasts, 00:11:29.90\00:11:33.10 he that entereth in by the way of the north gate 00:11:33.11\00:11:35.40 to worship shall go out 00:11:35.41\00:11:37.46 by the way of the south gate, 00:11:37.47\00:11:40.15 and he that entereth by the way of the south gate 00:11:40.16\00:11:42.94 shall go forth by the way of the north gate, 00:11:42.95\00:11:45.94 he shall not return by the way of the gate 00:11:45.95\00:11:48.82 whereby he came in, 00:11:48.83\00:11:50.39 but shall go forth over against it. 00:11:50.40\00:11:53.36 And the prince in the midst of them, 00:11:53.37\00:11:55.26 when they go in, shall go in, 00:11:55.27\00:11:56.98 and when they go forth, shall go forth. 00:11:56.99\00:12:00.02 And in the feasts and in the solemnities 00:12:00.03\00:12:02.41 the meat offering shall be

00:12:09.93\00:12:13.57 Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary 00:12:13.58\00:12:15.97 burnt offering or peace offerings 00:12:15.98\00:12:18.37 voluntarily unto the Lord, 00:12:18.38\00:12:20.61 one shall then open him the gate 00:12:20.62\00:12:22.89 that looketh toward the east, 00:12:22.90\00:12:24.86 and he shall prepare his burnt offering 00:12:24.87\00:12:27.14 and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day, 00:12:27.15\00:12:31.23 then he shall go forth, 00:12:31.24\00:12:32.64 and after his going forth one shall shut the gate. 00:12:32.65\00:12:36.29 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering 00:12:36.30\00:12:39.17 unto the Lord of a lamb 00:12:39.18\00:12:40.97 of the first year without blemish, 00:12:40.98\00:12:44.32 thou shalt prepare it every morning. 00:12:44.33\00:12:47.54 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering 00:12:47.55\00:12:49.11 for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, 00:12:49.12\00:12:51.73 and the third part of an hin of oil, 00:12:51.74\00:12:54.13 to temper with the fine flour, 00:12:54.14\00:12:56.15 a meat offering continually 00:12:56.16\00:12:58.23 by a perpetual ordinance unto the Lord. 00:12:58.24\00:13:02.00 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, 00:13:02.01\00:13:03.79 and the meat offering, and the oil, 00:13:03.80\00:13:05.30 every morning for a continual burnt offering. 00:13:05.31\00:13:09.50 Thus saith the Lord God, 00:13:09.51\00:13:10.97 If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, 00:13:10.98\00:13:15.53 the inheritance thereof shall be his sons', 00:13:15.54\00:13:18.73 it shall be their possession by inheritance. 00:13:18.74\00:13:22.62 But if he give a gift of his inheritance 00:13:22.63\00:13:24.38 to one of his servants, 00:13:24.39\00:13:26.33 then it shall be his to the year of liberty, 00:13:26.34\00:13:30.17 after it shall return to the prince, 00:13:30.18\00:13:32.64 but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them. 00:13:32.65\00:13:36.39 Moreover the prince shall not take 00:13:36.40\00:13:38.25 of the people's inheritance by oppression, 00:13:38.26\00:13:41.25 to thrust them out of their possession, 00:13:41.26\00:13:43.91 but he shall give his sons inheritance 00:13:43.92\00:13:45.82 out of his own possession, 00:13:45.83\00:13:47.70 that my people be not scattered 00:13:47.71\00:13:50.05 every man from his possession. 00:13:50.06\00:13:53.54 After he brought me through the entry, 00:13:53.55\00:13:55.71 which was at the side of the gate, 00:13:55.72\00:13:56.98 into the holy chambers of the priests, 00:13:56.99\00:13:59.00 which looked toward the north, 00:13:59.01\00:14:00.02 and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward. 00:14:00.03\00:14:04.57 Then said he unto me, This is the place 00:14:04.58\00:14:06.32 where the priests shall boil the trespass offering 00:14:06.33\00:14:08.47 and the sin offering, 00:14:08.48\00:14:09.91 where they shall bake the meat offering, 00:14:09.92\00:14:11.55 that they bear them not out into the utter court, 00:14:11.56\00:14:14.53 to sanctify the people. 00:14:14.54\00:14:16.69 Then he brought me forth into the utter court, 00:14:16.70\00:14:18.58 and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court, 00:14:18.59\00:14:21.50 and, behold, in every corner of the court 00:14:21.51\00:14:24.77 there was a court. 00:14:24.78\00:14:26.46 In the four corners of the court 00:14:26.47\00:14:27.75 there were courts joined of forty cubits long 00:14:27.76\00:14:30.47 and thirty broad, 00:14:30.48\00:14:32.21 these four corners were of one measure. 00:14:32.22\00:14:35.86 Please join me again next time 00:14:35.87\00:14:37.13 to read the word of God together, goodbye. 00:14:37.14\00:14:39.81
