Opis

Ezekiel’s temple is presented as a vision. It just had to be displayed as a sign of hope for the exiled people. Therefore the exiles were not instructed to build this temple. It will be built in a distant future, than the temple will never again be defiled and the Glory of the Lord will return to His house for ever. The architecture of Ezekiel’s temple resembles in many respects Solomon’s temple and the ancient Near East style of building. The plan and architecture of Solomon’s and Ezekiel’s temple had a major influence on western architecture and urban design.
