It's to fulfill prophecy, because Ezekiel 40-47 is not the only OT Scripture which points to the future Millennial sanctuary. Zechariah 6 points to it, Daniel 9:24 with the anointing of the most holy points to it, Hag.2:7 points to it with filling that "house" with glory, and Mal.3:1-2, and then a favorite passage of some who don't realize it's pointing to the priest's abodes in the future sanctuary of Ezekiel...
John 14:2
2 In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
KJV
Someone in another post recently quoted Jesus in Matt.23 when He was telling the unbelieving Jews their house is left desolate, pointing to the 70 A.D. destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, and obviously the continued desolations in Jerusalem all the way up to our time, since Christ has not returned yet to reestablish Israel as before per Ezek.37.
So there's a reason why the future sanctuary, or Father's house, is revealed for the future involving Jerusalem and future Israel. That is where God has chosen to put His Name and dwell forever. He is going to cleanse it and correct His people, as the future Millennium will not be a good ole' fun time for the majority, but a time many will stand in judgment like Ezek.44 shows. So evidently there must be a correction among those of Israel that led God's people astray which can just as much point to pastors in Christ's Church that have led His sheep astray.
