The Bible has many passages that require interpretation for a deeper understanding of its meaning and purpose. For example, Ezekiel’s vision in chapters 40-48 is a difficult interpretative passage because of the eschatological and hermeneutical discrepancies in Ezekiel’s prophetic vision of a new temple. Ezekiel’s descriptive details of the new temple leads many scholars to sift through an exegetical interpretative methodology in order to, decipher whether Particularly, Hebrews 10, declares the sacrificial system is powerless can only show a person their guilt, but there is only one, Jesus, who can forgive sins. The symbolic viewed Ezekiel as the beginning of the new Israel where all believers Jews and Gentiles worship together in the Ezekiel’s futuristic temple. In addition, the post-exilic second temple built its specification according to the Mosaic Law with the incorporation of animal sacrifice. Additionally, Paige Patterson indicated Ezekiel’s temple vision was a figurative temple with literal implications transcending any temple with size and immaculate beauty Yates expounds on the reason Ezekiel’s temple was unique because Christ replaced the temple. In Hebrews 10:7, Mark Rooter declared, Paul reflects back on the Day of Atonement in Leviticus 16:33 illustrating the mercy seat refers to Christ as the pacification to appease the wrath of God on humanity. This displayed Ezekiel’s temple as the transcendence of Christ as the embodiment of temple. Ezekiel’s temple is transcendent because Christ became the literal temple and dwelt among mankind that God may have residence with his children. This was the original covenant given to Abraham. Comparatively, Eugene Cooper contributed the doors to the entry ways into the temple in Ezekiel 40: 5-42 self-characterize Jesus as the entrance way to obtain access to God.

Barbour | 1 John Barbour Professor Abraham ENGWR 300 April 15, 2013 Author, UFO hunter, and lecturer Dave Hunt has a unique perspective on paranormal phenomenon, specifically when it comes to hypnosis. He describes a situation where a person is under hypnosis and it is suggested to him that there is a cat laying in his lap. He can feel, hear, and see the cat.

residential caves (with the exception of Cave 4) held only a few scrolls. The second set of caves however, was used to hide many of the longer Scrolls, including the War Scroll and the Temple Scroll. These scrolls, which reflect a sectarian Jewish worldview, indicate that the scrolls were hidden by the Qumran community, not by Temple priests fleeing the Roman destruction of Jerusalem. The lack of and order among the texts suggests that they were all placed in the cave at the same time in a hurry. This could…
15 and 2 Kings 5:1. We observe a slight difference from priestly rituals and responsibilities in Naaman’s case. Naaman is not an Israelite, and thus has no need to enter the temple or come into the presence of the Holy, God. But this leprosy bothers Naaman and he needs to be cured even though he will not be entering the temple to meet God. Perhaps this is a foreshadowing that he will in some way have an encounter with God, and thus needs to cross over to that state of purity first. Naaman’s wife…

He refers to the destruction of Jerusalem and Judah taken to Babylon (2 Kings 25), to the 37th year of the exile (25:27), but does not mention the return from Babylon. 1.3 Some of the great writers of that period include Jeremiah, Ezekiel, or Ezra. 2. Date: the events of 1 Kings begin with David very old and his successor in question, about 970. 2 Kings ends noting King Jehoiachin’s release from prison in Babylon in about 560. Without definite evidence to the contrary, the book…
theologians such as Athanasius, Augustine and Edwards have maintained that this period of time is to be seen as symbolic; in effect, symbolizing the entire reign of Christ who is seated at the “right hand” of the Father. However, since the mid 1830‟s, a new Eschatological system has arisen to challenge this view. Dispensational Premillennialism asserts that the “thousand year” millennium is a literal, physical reign of Christ on earth. In doing so, the Dispensationalists depart from the sound tradition…

could not answer them. Some would ask what was the “Key to David” or why were we here in the first place, and again I was at a loss for words. Here I was, a devout Christian disciple, asking Father how I could serve Him better and spread the Good News, yet I never studied His letter. I realized that I only knew the tradition of a certain type of Christianity the one in which I was raised. I didn’t even know the books of the Bible; let alone what was in them. So, how could I accurately teach others…
