Book Description
All my books can be read online free at wayneodonnell.com. “Freely you have received, freely give” (Mt. 10:8). This booklet is one section out of my book "Physical and Spiritual Salvation: Justification, Sanctification, Glorification, the Messianic Kingdom, & Ezekiel’s Temple in Ezekiel 40-48, Matthew, Romans, & 1 John." Matthew Henry says, “Here is a vision beginning at chapter 40 which is justly looked upon to be one of the most difficult portions in all the book of God.” Yes, these nine chapters are painful for Matthew Henry and all interpreters who try to use a ‘spiritual’ instead of a literal interpretation to give symbolic meaning to all these cubits. Therefore, it’s one of the best passages in scripture to demonstrate that the approach Reformed theologians and others derive their doctrines from are invalid. We must be careful not to confuse individual, spiritual salvation with the national, physical salvation of Israel.In Ezekiel 40-48, God has provided an in-depth, video-like tour of the future Messianic Kingdom temple, and the surrounding city and nation. Foreknowledge of this building gives us a sure hope to all the promises of the Messianic Kingdom found in Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and throughout the Bible; and to our own personal physical resurrection and glorification, that will help us endure sufferings and labor more diligently during this present time. The pictures in this booklet were taken from a video tour of a computer-generated model of the future Messianic Kingdom temple. The video tour, the computer model, and the software to view and ‘walk’ through it, are available from links at wayneodonnell.com. "The glory of Jehovah came into the temple, ... and He said, ... ‘This is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever,’” Ezekiel 43:4-7. “Except a man be born again, he can’t see the kingdom of God,” John 3:3.
