1). This vision of the Temple begins at Ezekiel 40:1 and ends Ezekiel 47:12. This temple has never been built, and is different than Solomons, and Zerubbable/Herod’s. That this temple is to be built during the Millennium is evidenced by the supernatural effects of the river that proceeds from under the temple (Ezekiel 47:1-12). It is similar to the river that proceeds out from the Throne of God after the establishment of the new heavens and new earth. Revelation 22:1-2. The temple described here by Ezekiel will be destroyed to make way for the new heaven and new earth Revelation 20:11-22:1).
