What think ye of Ezekiel's Temple?

[ProtectionET]

Except those "elect" who are not physically circumcised, correct?
They will be unwelcome there, correct?

Ezekiel 44:9
'Thus says the Lord GOD, "No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh of all the foreigners who are among the sons of Israel, shall enter My sanctuary.

Obviously, through the Eastern Gate, not the whole Church will enter the Temple, but only a part of the Church, the "Philadelphia Church". Since the Church period will continue until the closing of the Eastern Gate of the Temple, I believe that both the circumcised and the uncircumcised can enter through the Eastern Gate. The main thing is that these people should be in the Body of Jesus Christ.

10 Tishrei, in Yom Kippur, the Eastern Gate of the Temple will be closed forever. The consecration of the Temple will end.

After this, the question arises of circumcision: if those people who entered the Eastern Gate of the Temple, they want to stay in Israel, become one people with the Jews, have the opportunity to visit the Temple, and then work in the City of Yahweh Shamah, - such men should be circumcised.

Uncircumcision does not matter, the main thing is the fulfillment of the commandment of God. Therefore, if I participate in the construction of the Temple, I will circumcise myself without hesitation: to build the Temple is the commandment of God. It is possible that those who will enter the Eastern Gate of the Temple from 1 to 10 Tishrei, will also find it necessary to circumcise themselves in advance.

But this can only be an individual decision.

Because only the closing moment of the Eastern Gate is the moment of the Rapture of the Church. The closed East Gate will forever cut off the people who entered the Temple - from their former nations.

From this moment, Israel will receive the fullness of the power of God. Israel - these are the people who entered, they will unite with the Jews in one nation, like two sticks in Ezekiel's hand. And then the State of Israel will be the Messiah.

This is a theoretical scheme. And the practical scheme is much simpler: we must follow the Spirit, follow Jesus Christ, wherever He goes.

 

[ProtectionET]

Do you agree or disagree with Ezekiel 44:9?
'Thus says the Lord GOD, "No foreigner uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh of all the foreigners who are among the sons of Israel, shall enter My sanctuary.

I can't tell what your position is, as you have never directly answered the question... all your (non) answers thus far have been very cryptic, full of caveats and indecipherable.

Would you be willing to answer it directly?

Agree or Disagree? Please pick one.

If this question were in front of me, then if I had not received any other indication from the Holy Spirit, I would have entered the Eastern Gate being uncircumcised, and after that, I would have made myself circumcised.

 

[parousia70]

If this question were in front of me, then if I had not received any other indication from the Holy Spirit, I would have entered the Eastern Gate being uncircumcised, and after that, I would have made myself circumcised.

Thank you for that direct answer.
I reject your position completely, but I appreciate that you gave it and are willing to stand by it.

Such "backwards redemption" is an anathema according to the apostles, a falling away from the Grace of Jesus Christ, according to the apostles.

Thanks for offering your random, 21st century, armchair, internet quarterbacking on this, but I'm going to stick with the apostles' view.

Placing passages like Isa 66, Zechariah 14, and Ezekiel 40-48 into our future and reading them without the light of Jesus and the apostles would entirely undo the finished work of Christ. (Gasp!) Such a literal reading of those passages as if they are in our future is a common dispensationalist error. That would cause a retroactive move in redemption, going backwards even to before Christ's work of salvation.

Now, the O.T. prophets used such depictions of a National Israel in a poetic future bliss (such as Isa 65:17-66:24) whenever they faced their exiles and when they were out of their land and in full breach of the Mosaic Covenant. In the language of the prophets "New Heavens/Earth" therefore speaks of any full restoration to God's covenant plan. For example, when Jehovah brought Israel out of Egypt and brought them into the promised land it was said that "JEHOVAH PLANTED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH... (ISA 51:15-16)."

For the writers of the New Testament books, The New Jerusalem is something Christ ushered in for humanity and is defined as follows:

"you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel" (Heb 12:22-24).

So, per the above, here we are already in the New Jerusalem, which is the sum total of our New Covenant fullness and blessing and corresponds to Christ and the Church in heaven and on earth. The rest of that passage (Heb 12:22-28) shows that the shaking and removal of the Heavens and Earth means the removal of the Old Covenant, and the New Heavens and Earth that remains is the New Covenant (Heb 12:25-28).

APPLICATION:
The New Jerusalem is with us for the Church and we are bringing in nations of them that get saved. They bring their glory and honor into our Heavenly city just as the Queen of Sheba did in the O.T. with Solomon's Temple. The Queen of Sheba was a foreshadowing of just such a conversion of nations into the New Jerusalem of Christ and the Church.

The OT history had the effect of foreshadowing the coming of Messiah and his covenant with various earthly "prototypes." But now he's already come, and the shadows are past--the heavenly realities arrived. Such typological things were bound within the OLD covenant system, not the New. The Old was the shadow, but the New is the real deal. See:

Hebrews 8:4-5
there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law, who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things

--AND--

Colossians 2:16-17
Let no man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day, which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ.

--AND--

Hebrews 10:1
For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things can never...make perfect those who draw near.

 

[ProtectionET]

Such "backwards redemption" is an anathema according to the apostles, a falling away from the Grace of Jesus Christ, according to the apostles.

If I enter the Eastern Gate, then I am an Israeli. The Israelites must be circumcised, the apostles of this law did not abolish. If you are not going to enter the Eastern Gate, then you do not need circumcision. But if those Christians who do not enter the East Gate, will reject those who will enter the East Gate, then those who have not entered the East Gate, may have problems with God.

The battle between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant of Christ began in Acts chapter 15, and continues to this day.

Act 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:


Some of us have failed to "cast out" the Sinai Covenant of "bondage" found in Galatians 4:24-31.

We find in Hebrews 12:18-24, that we are not come to the mountain that burns with fire (Sinai), but instead to Mount Sion, and New Jerusalem of the New Covenant, fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary.

We find the New Covenant fulfilled in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18.

We are the ministers of the New Covenant, instead of the "ministry of death, engraved on stones" in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8.

Christ was the final sacrifice. (Hebrews 10:18)
Anyone who thinks otherwise has been deceived.

[ProtectionET]

Colossians 2:16-17
Let no man therefore judge you in eating, or in drinking, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or a Sabbath day, which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ.

Feasts of the LORD.

Feast (shadow) ----> Body (in Christ):

1. Easter (Pesach) ----> The Death of Jesus Christ.
2. Unleavened breads ----> The Burial of Jesus Christ.
3. The First Sheaf (2 nd day of Unleavened Bread) ----> The Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
4. Pentecost (Shavuot)/ Bikurim (Firstborns)----> The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the First Church in Jerusalem
5. Rosh Hashanah ----> The beginning of the consecration of the altar of the Third Temple
6. Yom Kippur ----> The East Gate is closed, 144,000 entered the Gate
7. Sukkot (8th day : Simchat Torah, Triumph of the Law) ----> The saints are accepted by Israel, Israel is Messiah Yeshua in the Second Coming

So, it remains for us to realize the 3 feasts of the Lord. Those who participate in them participate in the Body of Christ.

 

[ProtectionET]

The battle between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant of Christ began in Acts chapter 15, and continues to this day.

There was no battle. Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law, and he called us to fulfill the Law:

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them,] the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 5: 17-19)

But we can not fulfill this Law, as all Israelis could not fulfill this Law before Jesus Christ. Because it is required to fulfill not one, not two, not ten commandments of the Law, but the whole Law, all the commandments of the Law. Jesus Christ offered us a simple solution to this problem: to dwell in Him. By staying in Jesus Christ, we can count on Him to keep us in the Law in the same way that He observed the Law in his earthly life.

Therefore, being in Jesus Christ, one church will build the Third Temple, another church will enter the Temple through the Eastern Gate, and the rest of the churches will be joined to the first two in one Spirit, having a common joy in the days of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

But instead, divided by the carnal doctrines of various denominations, Christians prefer to wrangle in vain, showering each other with a hail of quotations from the Scriptures. Despite the fact that Scripture never contradicts himself. The Old Testament and the New Testament tell us one thing: the Son of God, Jesus Christ. And the Third Temple according to the prophecy of Ezekiel is a real architectural ensemble, which will be built in place, exactly corresponding to the description of this place in the book of the prophet Ezekiel. And not only in the Old Testament is written about this Temple, but also in the New Testament, in the Revelation of John.

The Smyrna Church is building the Temple. The Philadelphia church enters the Temple through the Eastern Gate, embodying the return to Israel of Jesus Christ. In order to build the Temple, the participation of the whole Church, all Christians, is not required. In order to enter the Temple through the Eastern Gate, the participation of all members of the Church is also not required. Therefore, this will be done, despite the rejection of this by many Christians. After that, there will be a Judgment.

I read and studied the Scriptures for many years. I do not know a single verse of Scripture that contradicts the fulfillment of Ezekiel's prophecy about the Third Temple, the Temple of the Resurrected Messiah Yeshua. Therefore, if you simply quote a passage from Scripture, I interpret it as an agreement with the building of the Temple of Ezekiel: all the Scriptures about Christ, His First and Second Coming, the victory of Jesus Christ in Israel and throughout the world, which comes after the construction of Ezekiel's Temple.

Sorry, Parousia, we just do not buy your preterist ideas.
What you think of as retroactive, we see as the culmination of God's entire plan. You want to stop that Plan at the Cross, but plainly there is more to come and we are told about the times of testing to come soon, then the wonderful Millennium period and another test of peoples faith, finally the Judgement of all who have ever lived.

Re circumcision: Paul makes it quite clear in Romans 2:25-29, that it is a spiritual matter.
Physically it is of benefit, as has been medically proven, so its good only for that reason.
Doesn't apply to half of the population, anyway!

You missed one little word in the passage above. That word is "till".

It is the same word used by Paul in Galatians 3:16-29.

Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

The Law was added 430 years after the promise made to Abraham "until" the seed could come to whom the promise was made.

We see below that the 10 commandments are the Sinai Covenant.

Exo 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

This fact is confirmed by the verse below.

Heb_9:4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

If you ignore the word "till" above, then maybe you can hold onto the Sinai covenant of "bondage" from Galatians chapter 4, which is the "ministry of death, engraved on stone" in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8.

It is the "obsolete" covenant in Hebrews 8:13.

The commandments of Christ are found below.


1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.


Notice that there are two different sets of commandments in the verse below.

Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

[parousia70]

Sorry, Parousia, we just do not buy your preterist ideas.
What you think of as retroactive, we see as the culmination of God's entire plan. You want to stop that Plan at the Cross

Hebrews 8:5-6
5 They serve in a sanctuary that is an example and shadow of the heavenly one, as Moses was instructed by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, because He is the Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

You want me to believe we next go Backwards to the Less excellent Ministry?

I'll never accept that.

As far as stopping at the Cross, yes the Cross sacrifice ends all other sacrifice, past and future... there will be no going back.

Hebrews 8:11-12
11 But Christ, when He came as a High Priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood, He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

Once for all... not "once for now, until Ezekiel's temple"

13 For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies so that the flesh is purified, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Apparently not much more at all, if we have to go backwards...

24 For Christ did not enter holy places made with hands, which are patterned after the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us. 25 Nor did He enter to offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26 For then He would have had to suffer repeatedly since the world was created, but now He has appeared once at the end of the ages to put away sin by sacrificing Himself.

Not, "once to put away sin for a while until Ezekiel's temple is built and we can go backwards to Bulls and Goats again..."

Never will I subscribe to such a theory as your backwards redemption.

That is on you, and it is polar opposite to the teaching of Jesus and the Apostles, and you will be held to account, not only for believing it yourself, but for propagating such a blantant, anti Christ falsehood among the brethren.

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Here it is necessary to read the Revelation.
The prophetic significance of the seven churches of the Revelation in the details of the description corresponds to the general picture of the construction of the Third Temple in accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel.

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
(Revelation 2: 9,10)

the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan - The Messianic community of Israel, building the Messianic Temple, where all the rites indicate the already accomplished sacrifice of Jesus Christ, will necessarily be subjected to blasphemy and insults on the part of orthodox Jews.

ye shall have tribulation ten days - The most difficult and responsible moment of the ministry of this church is 10 days of sanctification of the altar, "aseret yemei teshuva" - "ten days of return (to God)" of the lost tribes of Israel. From 1 to 10 Tishrei, from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur.

be thou faithful unto death - After the consecration of the Third Temple, the mission of this church ends, it is the "death" of the church, which was engaged in the construction of the Temple.

The Smyrna church, like the Philadelphia church, has no need for repentance: its work (the construction of the Temple) clearly indicates that it fulfilled the will of God.

More on the seven churches of Revelation here.

The Israelites must be circumcised, the apostles of this law did not abolish.

Galatians 5
1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

As I have already written, all quotations from Scripture confirm that we must build the Temple in accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel. And this quotation also confirms: we, building the Third Temple, participate in the Body of Christ. The feast of Pesach was carried out by Jesus Christ not because He ate the Paschal lamb with his disciples, but because He himself became the Passover Lamb, dying on the cross on the day of the celebration of Easter.

Our realization of the autumn feasts of the Lord will not be that we will perform rituals in accordance with the book of Leviticus, but in this holidays, with our participation, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will take place: the appearance in the temple of "elect of the four winds," the rapture of the Church, the appearance of Israel in the role of the Messiah.

And what does this quote have to the Jews? If you think that the apostolic assembly in Jerusalem abolished circumcision, then you are deeply mistaken. The apostles' decision to abolish circumcision (and the abolition of the need to observe the Law of Moses) concerns only Christians from the Gentiles. The apostle Paul personally circumcised someone who was a Jew in halakha. After the Eastern Gate of the Temple is closed, we are no longer the Church (the Church is admired), we become Israel.

Or do you think that Messiah Yeshua was uncircumcised? Those people who enter the Eastern Gate have the status of Jesus Christ (Philadelphia Church in Revelation).

Is Galatians 5:6 for Gentiles only, or is it for both Jew and Gentile?

And what is written here against circumcision? It is equally written against circumcision and against uncircumcision. It makes no sense to adhere to your uncircumcision, as there is no point in adhering to your circumcision.

The one who wrote this epistle circumcised Timothy. What for? Because there is no point in holding on to uncircumcision.
