‫וְהָעֲזָרָה אַרְבַּע עֶשְׂרֵה אֹרֶךְ, בְּאַרְבַּע עֶשְׂרֵה רֹחַב, אֶל, אַרְבַּעַת רְבָעֶיהָ; וְהַגְּבוּל סָבִיב אוֹתָהּ חֲצִי הָאַמָּה, וְהַחֵיק-לָהּ אַמָּה סָבִיב, וּמַעֲלֹתֵהוּ, פְּנוֹת קָדִים.

"The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides, the border around it shall be half a cubit and its base shall be a cubit round about; and its steps shall face the east." (Ezekiel 43:17)

and his stairs - Strong #4609

1) what comes up, thoughts
2) step, stair
2a) step, stair
2b) steps (of sundial)
2c) stories (of heaven)
2d) ascent
2e) song of ascent
2e1) to the three great pilgrim feasts (Psalm titles)

I'm sure that we need to add one more meaning to the word "וּמַעֲלֹתֵהוּ" – "ramps".

The ramps at the altar of the Temple should in no case be turned to the south, as was done in the previous Temples.

Because the true Sacrifice sanctifying the Third Temple in accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel will be the saints of all nations. Representatives of the first-born churches symbolized in the Revelation of John as 144 thousand of the tribes of Israel, and these people are named in the prophecy of Ezekiel as "the glory of the Lord." Saints must enter the Temple through the Eastern Gate, so the ramps of the altar should be facing east.

And it is strictly forbidden to attach stairs with steps, because it prohibits the Law of Moses.

The corrected translation of this verse of Ezekiel's prophecy must be as follows:

"The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides, the border around it shall be half a cubit and its base shall be a cubit round about; and its ramps shall face the east." (Ezekiel 43:17)

The main building of Ezekiel's Temple, the House of Sanctuary, consists of two isolated buildings, each of which has its own foundation. The inner building is the "Tabernacle", before the Tabernacle there is a porch. The outer building has two small porches on the west side. In the outer building there are storerooms, where items and food belonging to the Temple are stored.

This temple should stand for many thousands of years. To protect the building of the Tabernacle, there is an external building. The prophecy of Ezekiel does not say that the Tabernacle's building should have a dome, but such an addition would be very useful.

After much thought, we decided to make a dome, similar to the vision from the first chapter of the book of the prophet Ezekiel. This dome rests on 8 wheels in the form of Möbius strips.

In general, I advise you to check all the verses where there is a description of the Temple, according to the Masoretic text. Because all translations of the Bible have a distortion of meaning, sometimes more, sometimes less. Occasionally, there are direct mistakes in the translations. Sometimes you have to look at variants of the Masoretic text. For example, about 10 steps of the staircase in front of the entrance to the House of Sanctuary.

The center of the temple complex is in the middle of the square in front of the House. This square has a size of 100 by 100 cubits. The center of the temple complex is the center of the altar.

If you move from any gate in the direction of the altar, then from the inner surface of the wall, which is located on all sides of the temple complex, you can measure the sequence of sizes:

50 cubits - the length of the gate building, and exactly the same width at the pavement, on which 30 rooms are located. This size is indicated in the prophecy of Ezekiel.

100 cubits - the size of the outer courtyard area, from the gate to the gate of the inner court. This size is indicated in the prophecy of Ezekiel.

60 cubits is the gap between the outer fence of the inner court  and the square that is located in front of the facade of the House of Sanctuary and which has a size of 100 by 100 cubits. This size is missing from the prophecy of Ezekiel. How did I get this size?

Balcony, which is from the side of the House - for singers. Balcony, placed by side facing the outer court - for the sounding of the shofar.

I added pilasters on the side walls of buildings for kohanim and refectory buildings on the pavement.

All the time you have to make corrections.



Drawing of Ezekiel's Temple.

Correction was made: the corners were cut off at the eastern wall of the courtyard, the length of the 24 cubits cut along the axis of the fence posts (not shown in the drawing). 6 sections of the fence, each 4 cubits long (1920 mm) will go at an angle of 45 degrees on both corners of the wall. In the liberated space there will be 12 drinking fountains: 6 along the wall and 6 in the area of the triangle, total 24 drinking fountains at both cut corners.

In the Eastern Gate of Ezekiel's Temple from 1 to 10 Tishrei of the Year "X" will enter messengers from all 144,000 first-born churches of the New Testament:
