Your question is of a scathing and derogatory nature.
I'm asking you to reconcile a contradiction that you are creating with your interpretation. This is how debates work. You provide evidence for your belief. Then someone challenges that evidence and interpretation of said evidence. Just because you can't provide a proper answer to that challenge doesn't mean it's "scathing or derogatory".
See eschatology forum statement of purpose for how discussions work.
"When you disagree, address the content of the post and not the poster.
When you disagree with someone's position, you should post evidence and supporting statements for your position. This policy, sometimes referred to as "X means Y because of Z", must be followed especially when posting claims that are widely considered to be controversial."
So that's exactly what I did in response to you.
You posted the claim that the Ezekiel temple occurs in the millennium but no longer exists after the millennium.
I then asked you to reconcile that contradiction. If the Ezekiel temple no longer exists after the millennium, how can God dwell FOREVER with his people in the Ezekiel temple?
Ezekiel 43:6-7 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple, and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever.
Additionally, I provided even more evidence that the New Jerusalem is the Ezekiel Temple using scripture to interpret scripture.
Revelation reveals that the new Jerusalem is the Ezekiel temple/city where God dwells with his people. Both the Ezekiel temple/city and the new Jerusalem 1.) are where God dwells, 2.) have a river flowing from the temple 3.) have fruit on either side of the river that grows each month for healing and 4.) 12 gates with 12 names of the 12 tribes of Israel.
Basically you ask something we cannot know about, as the prophesies are not perfectly clear, especially when translations differ and are often in error.
Keras, if we use scripture to interpret scripture, we can see that the New Jerusalem is the Ezekiel Temple/City:
1.)BOTH the New Jerusalem and the Ezekiel temple have a river flowing from it that bears fruit each month for healing.
revelation 22:1-2 Then the angel
showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the main street of the city. On either side of the river stood a tree of life,
bearing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
Ezekiel 47:1 Then the man brought me back to the entrance of the temple,
and I saw water flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from under the south side of the temple, south of the altar.
Ezekiel 47:12 Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of all kinds will grow. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail.
Each month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will be used for food and their leaves for healing.
2.) BOTH the New Jerusalem and the City in Ezekiel have 12 gates with 12 tribes of Israel inscribed on them
Revelation 21:12 The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel
Ezekiel 38:30-34 Beginning on the north side, which measures 4,500 cubits long, the gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. On the north side there will be three gates: the gate of Reuben, the gate of Judah, and the gate of Levi. On the east side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Joseph, the gate of Benjamin, and the gate of Dan. On the south side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Simeon, the gate of Issachar, and the gate of Zebulun. And on the west side, which will be 4,500 cubits long, there will be three gates: the gate of Gad, the gate of Asher, and the gate of Naphtali.
3.) BOTH the New Jerusalem and the Ezekiel temple are where God dwells.
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will live with them.
Ezekiel 43:7 7and He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place for the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the Israelites forever
I firmly believe that The Israelite people of God, His faithful born again Christians, will build a new Temple to the glory of God in Jerusalem, before Jesus Returns.
You are allowed to believe that, but what new testament passage teaches you to interpret scripture this way?
Many other prophesies support this.
What new testament interpretation of those prophecies support your interpretation of a physical brick and mortar future temple building, that Christians will build?
If that is not the case, then
Ezekiel 40-48 makes no sense.
If you believe the old covenant still exists between national Israel and God and that the laws and regulations of temple worship are the true reality, then I understand your argument.
However, if you believe the old covenant ended and the New covenant is now in its place, I'm not understanding how Ezekiel 40-48 makes no sense.
The laws, regulations, sacrifices, clothing, washings, etc.. are detailed in the law of moses for temple worship UNDER THE OLD COVENANT.
However, the author of Hebrews states the law is only a shadow, NOT THE REALITY
Hebrews 10:1 For the law is only a shadow of the good things coming,
not the realities themselves.
Paul states that the law is only a shadow of Christ.
Colossians 2:16-17 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath.
These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
So when we, now under the new covenant, read through the Law, we should understand that it had an immediate context (type) for Israel, but its true reality is found in Christ (antitype).
The Ezekiel 40-48 should be read in that same way. It had an immediate context for Israel under the old covenant (type), but its true reality is found fulfilled in Christ (antitype).
A physical brick and mortar temple building with all its sacrifices, regulations, washings, etc only serves a purpose under the OLD COVENANT. It serves no purpose under the new covenant, for we are the temple of the living God.
