Why would some believe christians will offer sacrifices in the millennial temple?

[BABerean2]

The sacrifices and ordinances described in the latter chapters of Ezekiel are distinctly different from the sacrifices and ordinances described in the law of Moses. This, in and by itself, is HARD PROOF that this is NOT a return to either the Old Covenant or to the law of Moses. For under the law of Moses, zero variance was even tolerable.

This is a new form of worship, distinctly different from both the Old Covenant set up under Moses and the worship we practice today. And until THAT is clearly understood, it is impossible to reconcile these explicitly stated prophecies with the clearly stated scriptures stating that the Old System has been done away with for ever.

Can you say the words... "New Covenant" ?


Jer_31:31 "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—

Mat_26:28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Mar_14:24 And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.

Luk_22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

1Co_11:25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

2Co_3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Heb_8:8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH—

Heb_8:13 In that He says, "A NEW COVENANT," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Heb_9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Heb_12:24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

It appears that neither Jesus, nor Paul, nor anyone else of the New Covenant, were aware of this "new form of worship".

Not one of them ever referred to Ezekiel and a claimed "new form of worship".

Not one of them ever so much as hinted that New Covenant worship would be replaced by a "new form of worship".

Jesus and Paul described New Covenant worship below.

We are told that we "must worship Him in spirit and in truth".

There is no other "new form of worship".

John 4:23
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Philippians 3:3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

I think you are missing something. Can you find even ONE VERSE in scripture about any time period after the pretrib rapture where the born again walk is available? I cannot. Did you not notice the messages of the angels in Rev. 14? There is NOT ONE WORD about the death and resurrection of our Lord.

It is TOTALLY immaterial whether or not an explicitly stated prophecy fro the Old Testament is repeated in the New Testament. If God said such-and-such was going to happen, He did not mean that it would actually be thus-and-s0, instead of such-and-such.

When you KNOW that God said such-and-such is going to happen, yet you deny that it will actually happen, you are calling God a liar.

A "new form of worship" that God neglected to tell Jesus anything about.

A "new form of worship" that Jesus missed when He was reading Ezekiel.

A "new form of worship" that Paul missed when He was reading Ezekiel.

A "new form of worship" that the entire historical true Christian Church has missed in over eighteen centuries of reading Ezekiel.

Just imagine that.

It's nothing short of a dispensational miracle.

Posting this sort of super-critical nonsense, shows you up in a bad light.

That you cannot see the tremendous changes coming at the end of this Church age and at least 7 years before that, is nobodys fault but your own.
It is obvious to anyone, that Ezekiel 40-48 is not yet fulfilled. But it will be and why not? God did do amazing things with the ancient Israelites, how much more will He do for His faithful people today?

Are you practising the "new form of worship" yet?

If not, why not? You can start today in your basement or garage.

Just make sure your neighbors don't find out.

It can't be any clearly that that!
