Ezequiel 43:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 43:10

Thou son of man, show the house
That is, the house the prophet had seen measured, its gates, courts, and all belonging to it; which he was at first bid to observe, that he might show it to others; the house that the glory of the Lord was now come into, and had filled; and which is no other than the Gospel church in its perfection and glory in the latter day. This the prophet, who is addressed under his usual character in this book, is bid to show "to the house of Israel"; either to the captives in Babylon, among whom he was, and to whom he often speaks in this book, being sent with a message to them: and this he is ordered to show them, both to comfort them in their present state, with a view of what would be hereafter; and to humble them, and bring them to a sense of their sins, and shame for them, which had brought them into the condition they were, and so greatly short of this happy one: or else to the Jews in the first times of the Gospel; the prophet representing the apostles of Christ, who delivered out the form of a Gospel church state to the believing ones, far superior to that they had been in, and into which they entered: or rather he represented the ministers of the word in the latter day, showing to the Christians of those times the order, worship, and discipline of a pure Gospel church, who have been greatly deficient in their observance of them; and which is the work and business of Gospel ministers to do, as well as to preach the doctrine of the Gospel: that they may be ashamed of their iniquities;
how far short they have come of the model of true Gospel churches, and of observing the order, and maintaining the ordinances, and keeping up the discipline of such churches; and when persons are brought to blush and be ashamed, it looks as if they had a true sight and sense of their mistakes, and of repentance for them: and let them measure the pattern;
that is, of the house, and what belongs to it; by which they will see their defects, and correct them; see ( Revelation 11:1 Revelation 11:2 ) .

Ezequiel 43:10 In-Context

8 Colocaron los altares para sus ídolos junto a mi altar, con solo un muro de separación entre ellos y yo. Profanaron mi santo nombre con ese pecado tan detestable, por eso los consumí en mi enojo.

9 Que dejen ya de rendir culto a otros dioses y de honrar las reliquias de sus reyes, y yo viviré entre ellos para siempre.

10 »Hijo de hombre, describe al pueblo de Israel el templo que te he mostrado, para que ellos se avergüencen de todos sus pecados. Dejen que estudien el plano del templo

11 y se avergonzarán
de lo que hicieron. Descríbeles todas las especificaciones del templo —incluidas las entradas y las salidas— y todos los demás detalles. Háblales de los decretos y las leyes del templo. Escribe todas las especificaciones y los decretos mientras ellos observan, para que sin falta los recuerden y los sigan.

12 Esta es la ley fundamental del templo: ¡santidad absoluta! Toda la cumbre del monte donde está el templo es santa. Sí, esta es la ley fundamental del templo.
