We begin a new book in our Morning Study, 1st Samuel. We'll continue on through Kings as well.
We touch on several things today - wives as rivals, how Hannah was like Abraham, and even a few minutes about the role of a Mediator. We hope you are edified today.
We wrap up the book of Ezekiel this morning discussing some lessons we're taking from the book. The discussion turns for a second to Asa,, king of Judah, discovering the scroll of the Law and realizing how much the nation was apostate from God. If Asa discovered the Law that had been lost, then the children of Israel didn't have the Word before them - depending instead upon others to tell them about it. We have the Word before us, at all times. Put another way, Judah was the servant with one talent, we are the servant with five. What does that mean for us?
The Temple Vision continues. This passage includes YHWH's portion of the land - that is, for the Temple, the Levites, and Jerusalem. The portioning of the remaining land will come in the next passage, but we realized today that the reason Ezekiel gives this prophecy is due to the fact that the people would be so long out of the land that their inheritance within the land would be forgotten.
Our look into Ezekiel's Temple Vision continues as we are introduced briefly to "The Prince." Is this the Messiah? Is it the head of the Sanhedrin? Is there another option?
Also, we see the Levites and sons of Tzadok have roles to play - in a sacrificial system. Yet, we are taught that the sacrificial system is done away with - how to explain this?
The Temple Vision continues with the return of the Glory of God that left Solomon's Temple. Now the questions begin - is this the 3rd Temple? Will Sacrifices resume? What about Yeshua being our sacrifice?
Our look at Ezekiel's Temple vision moves into the Temple itself. A short discussion on what a cherub looks like, and some architecture and Hebrew speculation, follows. The reading isn't exciting, but the video and discussion was interesting.
