From Background Notes [BN] for Apr 30th & May 1st written by
Pastor Bob Brown:
For if the dead can rise, is not God
truly for us? And if God is for us who can be against us? (see
Romans 8:31).
Even more wonderfully than the vision
of dry bones is the image of the New Temple whose dimensions and
architecture exceed anything Israel had ever known before. So remarkable is the
vision of Ezekiel 40-48 we have difficulty imagining such a future Temple
unless its setting is nothing less than the whole world. Its size precludes
placing it on the so-called temple mount, and so Ezekiel’s vision of this New
Temple points forward, not to an ordinary Temple in earthly Jerusalem, but to
God Himself whose very presence will one day fill the whole earth with
overwhelming glory. This glory is the future of a restored people of God — a
glory destined to unite heaven and earth in God’s New Creation. [BN,5]
