You mean you need a commentary of man to tell you what God's Word declares??
It's apparent you have not understood about the Millennial events written in Ezekiel 44 when there will be a separation between Christ's servants and the spiritually dead. That's who those outside the gates of the holy city represent in that future time, i.e., the nations of the unsaved. Those Rev.22:14-15 verses specifically is actually Rev.20 timing during Christ's "thousand years" reign.
You mean you're not familiar with this?...
Zech 14:16-20
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowl's before the altar.
KJV
And nor do you probably understand this, which is for Christ's future Millennium reign...
Ezek 44:15-16
15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near to Me to minister unto Me, and they shall stand before Me to offer unto Me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
16 They shall enter into My sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table, to minister unto Me, and they shall keep My charge.
KJV
Ezek 44:23-25
23 And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to My judgments: and they shall keep My laws and My statutes in all Mine assemblies; and they shall hallow My sabbaths.
25 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
KJV
In that future time, the idea of the 'dead' is about the unsaved, those who will still have mortal souls in liable to perish state in the "lake of fire" after... the "thousand years". That Ezekiel temple layout has NEVER appeared on earth to this day. In Ezekiel 47 is direct mention of God's River flowing out of that sanctuary of the future, and the many trees on either side of it bearing their fruits, with the leaves for medicine to the nations.
Obviously, you've never studied that, or saw the reference to sacrifices and just passed it off as history.
Why do you believe that animal sacrifices will be reinstituted? Have you never read the book of Hebrews?
Are you somehow unaware that the purpose of the old covenant animal sacrifices was to foreshadow Christ's sacrifice (Hebrews 10)?
Are you somehow unaware that Christ's sacrifice ushered in the new covenant and made the old covenant obsolete (Heb 8-10)?
Do you think that Christ's "once for all" sacrifice will somehow no longer be sufficient at some point in the future?
Here is what the Ezekiel prophecy says the purpose of the animal sacrifices would be:
Ezekiel 45:15 And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings,
to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord God. 16 All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel. 17 And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare
the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings,
to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
In light of the fact that Christ's sacrifice already made reconciliation for all people's sins forever, why would animal sacrifices ever need to be made in the future to make reconciliation for people's sins? That would be an insult to Christ's sacrifice! Why would you believe such a thing?
In my view there are only two ways that we can interpret the prophecy without contradicting other scripture. One is to see it all as figurative language to figuratively describe how things will be on the new earth. The amount of detail in the prophecy regarding all the rituals to be performed and so on makes that a bit doubtful to me, but it's possible.
The other way is to see it as a conditional prophecy, which is how I interpret it.
The following indicates that the fulfillment of the Ezekiel prophecy was conditional upon the people of Israel of that time period repenting of their sins, which they did not do.
Ezekiel 43:10 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern. 11 And
if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
This prophecy describes the temple that they could have had, but since they did not repent of their sins, an inferior temple ended up being built instead.
