These many mansions are attached to the north south, and west sides in three stories. 

 

These were apartments for the priests to temporarily occupy during their week of service at the Temple. 

33 rooms on the three floors of the outer building of the Temple are storerooms, where there are sacred objects, incense and products used for sacrifices to God. These 33 rooms are not living quarters or offices. When designing these premises, it is necessary to take into account the building codes and rules used for warehouses.

For dressing the kohanim in the sacred garments are designed 4 external buildings in the inner court. Refectory kohanim are located on the third floors of two buildings located opposite the most holy place in the Temple. In the other buildings located at the western wall there is a kitchen for kohanim (in the northern building), as well as a laundry, offices and, possibly, rest rooms.

Your work/study is fascinating.  Have you considered that the Chinese can build islands? So why cannot Israel stretch its boundaries over the seas? 

The Lord God is not going to force people to build islands for him, to drain the seas, so that it is possible to build a House for Him. The Lord God offered to build a house for Him, where He could render hospitality to his children, having arranged for them a glorious feast, in an excellent secluded place in the Judean desert. This construction will cost quite inexpensively, and it will be affordable for his poor children scattered around the world.

The house for God was invented by Him not for Himself, but for our sake, to bring us together.

Eph 2:16...one new man...the Church.

But unbelieving Israel still goes through Jacob's trouble for purification.

Unless you are into replacement theology where there is no more Israel or the promise of the Land?

Read Ezekiel carefully, chapter 37.

People use the term "ten lost tribes of Israel". But Ezekiel's picture is presented in a different way.

'And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it: For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions; then take another stick, and write upon it: For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and of all the house of Israel his companions;

(Ez. 37:16)

Ezekiel does not say: "For Judah and Benjamin." Ezekiel does not say: "For Ephraim and nine more lost tribes of Israel."

Because under the auspices of Judah, the Jewish kingdom, the present Jews, modern Israel, there is a remnant of all the 12 tribes of Israel, who have preserved their external Jewry in the flesh, not mixed with the Gentiles. In the same way, all the lost Jews from all the 12 tribes of Israel, who disappeared among the nations, are gathered under the name of Ephraim.

On the outer courtyard of the Temple there are 30 refectory. The six dining rooms of the western wall are reserved for the Levites who will work in the temple complex. The remaining 24 refectory symbolize this: the reunification of the 12 tribes of earthly Israel and the 12 tribes of heavenly Israel, "Judah" and "Ephraim."

Once again I draw your attention to the wording in the 37th chapter of the book of the prophet Ezekiel. The stick of Ephraim will be attached to the stick of Judah, and not vice versa!

For those who want to delve deeper into this process, I recommend to find and read the book of Tobit, which is not in the canon of the books of the American Bible.

I'm very well aware of that passage in Ezekiel and I believe both Houses of Israel will be one.

But that does not address my question, 'will the Millennium Temple also include the Church (believing Jews and Gentiles from Pentecost to the rapture) or will the Church be ruling and reigning...or?

The church is the bride of Christ. The Church can not be the whole world, because the Church is elected.

After the act of entering the Eastern Gate of the Temple, after this gate is closed forever, the whole world will become a believer in Jesus Christ, because everyone will see how the Scripture about the Temple and the signs of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ came to pass. The chosen one will be Israel, in which we, who entered the Eastern Gate, are assimilated in one way or another.

Please remember the story of the daughter of Jephthah, this is the prototype of what should happen.

Of course, Jephthah could not kill his daughter: God simply would not accept such a sacrifice. This is the same case as if a dog or donkey would go out to meet Jephthah. In this case, the vow to God can be fulfilled by the transfer of the animal (or daughter) to the service of the Tabernacle. Alas, the daughter will not be able to marry, because she is dedicated to God.

Further in this story there are very interesting details.

First, the word "daughter" and the word "house" in Hebrew differ only by one letter "Yod". Immediately after the story of the daughter of Jephthah, the next chapter of the book of Judges tells of the tribe of Ephraim, who was about to burn the house of Jephthah.

"daughter" <> "house"

Since the daughter of Jephthah was not brought for a burnt offering, and she was treated according to the Law, the Ephraimites failed to burn the house of Jephthah.

The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan opposite Ephraim. And it happened when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me cross over," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No," 

then they would say to him, "Say now, 'Shibboleth.'" But he said, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it correctly. Then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan.  Thus there fell at that time 42,000 of Ephraim.

"sh" <> "s"

"Yeshua" <> "Jesus"

The Jews pronounce the name "Yeshua," Christians pronounce the name "Jesus". The number 42,000 sends us immediately to two places in the Holy Scripture: two bears that killed 42 children from Bethel (where there was a calf to worship), immediately after the rapture of Elijah. And the second fragment of Scripture with the number 42 is the story of the "two witnesses" of Revelation. Continuing to compare these stories, from the 11th chapter of Revelation there is a direct reference to the 37th chapter of Ezekiel: "stood up upon their feet," there and there.

Hence it can be assumed that carnal Christianity will not accept the Temple and will "fight" against the Jews and that part of the Christians who will build this Temple. This is God's judgment on the Christian religion.

The second interesting story, the outlines of which are visible with a careful study of the story of the daughter of Jephthah, are four days in the year, when the daughters of Israel will mourn the daughter of Jephthah.

11th, 12th, 13th and 14th are the month of Tishrei.

It is necessary to recollect the book of the prophet Zechariah 12: 12,13. You remember, of course, who Nathan was. And you remember, up to what point in the New Testament the circle of existence of the entire present structure of the Church is outlined:

And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,  

for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;

until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

(Eph. 4:11,12)

"The unity of the faith" - this is the moment when the mission of the Church is completed. This moment comes on the 10th of Tishrei, in Yom Kippur, when the Eastern Gate of the Third Temple, into which the saints entered, into which the glory of the Lord entered, into which the Lord the God of Israel has entered, will be closed forever.

And on the 15th of Tishrei the Law forbids crying, because the greatest festival of all the Lord's holidays of the Bible is coming: Sukkot.

So, here we are: today there is a Church and there are Jews. After the closure of the Eastern Gate of the Temple, the Church is no longer there, but there are the courts of God, it lasts for a while, maybe 1335 days, from Tu B'Shvat to Simchat Torah. After this there is no Christian religion, there is a believing peace, and there is Israel, which will be the embodiment of Messiah Yeshua.

These satellite images of the Earth's surface can be found in Google's services. If you know the boundaries of the future of Israel in accordance with the prophecy of Ezekiel, you can see the "face" of the Messiah in the Second Coming:

In the picture of the earth's surface, you can see a kind of face of a person and a lion's face, if you want, you can see both.

In Google pictures you can find many different drawings of Ezekiel's Temple.  As a rule, commentators of Ezekiel's prophecy paint very high gates.

He made the side pillars sixty cubits high; the gate extended round about to the side pillar of the courtyard.
From the front of the entrance gate to the front of the inner porch of the gate was fifty cubits.

(Ez. 40:14-15)

Ezekiel almost always indicates only horizontal dimensions. Obviously, showing us only horizontal dimensions, the Lord God hopes for our common sense. In the fourteenth verse of Ezekiel in the original Hebrew there is no word "high". From the original in Hebrew you can translate something like this:

And he made (measurements) columns - sixty cubits, Also for the columns of the courtyard at the gate - around, around.

Since in the next verse the prophecy speaks of a horizontal dimension of 50 cubits, - we have no reason to try to measure out 60 cubits in height. 60 cubits of height for the pillar, the width of which is only 2 cubits - this is too disproportionate. And for the whole room measuring 50 by 25 cubits, the height of the canopy of 60 cubits would be a great inconvenience in the rain.

Therefore, on our model, we consider the size of 60 cubits as the total length of two gates, from the pillar at the entrance to the temple complex, to the last pillar in front of the entrance to the outer court.

c60.png

Why is this all so important?

When the height of the main building, the house of God, is not indicated in the prophecy of Ezekiel, we must be guided by the height of other buildings near the Temple when determining the height of the Temple.

If the height of the inside of the gate is 60 cubits, the outer height of the gate may be about 63-66 cubits. And the height of the Temple will be twice as high, that is, 126-132 cubits!

You come to celebrate in the Father's House, and this House wants to overwhelm you with its gigantic dimensions, as if your Father, to whom Jesus Christ led you, is an earthly despot, a tyrant, a pharaoh?

60 cubits are measured in a horizontal plane and then the Father's house becomes a height of 77/66 cubits, and the outer height of the gate is equal to 33 cubits.

One more note. It is supposed to make a mirror ceiling in the gate room. Passing through the gate people can see themselves on the ceiling, as if entering into the expanse of the sky. The height of the pillars in the looking-glass, as well as outside, is 30 cubits. Total we have 60 cubits of height: 30 in our world, and 30 in the mirror ceiling:)

Perhaps the most difficult book of the New Testament is the book of Revelation of John, the Apocalypse. If I had to choose the book that is most apocalypse among the books of the Old Testament, then I would call the book of the prophet Ezekiel. However, it is also quite possible to understand the figurative language of the Revelation of John, it is also possible to create a concrete model of the Temple according to the few details of the description of this Temple in the book of the prophet Ezekiel.

Let's try to understand the parameters of the staircases that are in the House of Sanctuary.

The first obstacle for the English-speaking Bible reader is that the English translations of the Bible do not specify the number of steps on the main staircase before entering the porch of the Temple.

The length of the porch was twenty cubits and the width eleven cubits; and at the stairway by which it was ascended were columns belonging to the side pillars, one on each side. (40:49)

The Russian Synodal translation of the Bible indicates the number of steps at the staircase, but one can hardly rely on the national translations of Ezekiel's book.

ez.40-49i.jpg

Ten steps ... - Translation by the conjecture (h2s.png), which confirms the Septuagint (h4s.png).

Accepting this hypothesis, based on the Septuagint text, we can determine the height of the staircase on the main staircase of the Temple.

At the very beginning of the measurements of the temple complex, a cane was used to measure the wall. And we also know that in the prophecy of Ezekiel, the cubit was used to measure the length in the Temple. Probably, the height of the first floor of the Temple should be a multiple of an integral number of cubits. 

Let us see what may be possible:

1 reed = 6 cubit / 10 steps = 2880 mm / 10 = 288 mm = 11,338

5 cubit / 10 steps = 2400 / 10 = 240 mm = 9,449

4 cubit / 10 steps = 1920 / 10 = 192 mm = 7,559

3 cubit / 10 steps = 1440 / 10 = 144 mm = 5,669

2 cubit / 10 steps = 960 / 10 = 96 mm = 3,779

The maximum height of steps of stairs in residential and public buildings is 190 mm.
The minimum step height is 120 mm.

We have only one option: the height of the step in the Temple is 144 mm.

Another important conclusion we got: the floor level of the first floor of the Temple is 3 cubits or 1440 mm.

And we accept the assumption that all the other staircases in the temple complex also have a step height of 144 mm.

If we accept such an assumption, and we assume that the height of any floor of any building of the temple complex is necessarily a multiple of an integer number of elbows, it turns out that only for the height of a floor multiple of 3 elbows, the number of steps at the stairs between the floors will be an integer.

Let us leave for now the question of the height of the secondary buildings of the temple complex. Let's try to understand the question of the design and layout of service stairs in the main building of the temple complex, in the House of Sanctuary.

As I have already shown in the drawing of the first floor of the Temple, the storerooms are located on the northern, western and southern sides of the House.

storerooms.png

Since Ezekiel's prophecy does not provide space for staircases in the interior of the house where storerooms are located, there is space for staircases only in "free space".

The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. But the free space between the side chambers belonging to the temple. (41:9)

The doorways of the side chambers toward the free space consisted of one doorway toward the north and another doorway toward the south; and the width of the free space was five cubits all around. (41:11)

Since the doors of the rooms only extend to the north and south, for the arrangement of the staircases it is convenient to use only the western, back part of the House. But the space of 5 cubits is too narrow to accommodate a staircase with several flights of stairs. The construction of several stair flights is hampered by the expansion of the house with each successive floor:

The side chambers surrounding the temple were wider at each successive story. Because the structure surrounding the temple went upward by stages on all sides of the temple, therefore the width of the temple increased as it went higher; and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story.  (41:7)

In this verse of Ezekiel's prophecy there is an important detail: "and thus one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the second story".

From this phrase it becomes clear that in the Temple of Ezekiel there are no spiral staircases: in order to climb to the third floor, you must first go up to the second floor, then go through the second floor to the staircase leading to the third floor and only then you can climb to the very top.

I will not substantiate in detail the choice of height between the floors in the Temple. We chose a height of 2 reeds (12 cubits or  5,76m). If you choose a smaller height, then the building of the Temple will be very low. If the height between the floors is increased, then with the width of the room on the first floor, equal to 4 cubits, the ceiling will be too high.

With a height between floors equal to 2 reeds, the staircase must have 40 steps.

Construction rules do not allow the construction of stairs with an even number of steps. The number of steps of a ladder on one flight of stairs should be no more than 16.

After some thought, I chose the number of steps for the stairs in this way: 13 + 13 + 13 + 1.

Approximately in the middle of the path, a bend is made so that the staircase is leveled along the plane of the wall of the next floor:

But thanks for your views.

All the people living when Jesus returns (after the Tribulation) will become believers..

It is written: "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.'"

Can you name any preacher, teacher, denomination or school that agrees with that ?   (none I know of do)

Oh,   they (everyone) will "believe",  but not all will be saved, according to Scripture,

even as the religious leaders "believed" Jesus,  but would not follow Him, in the NT.  They could see Him,  and everyone will 'see' Jesus,  so they will 'believe' as in after the flesh,  but not all will believe in spirit and in truth - like many today they will only 'believe' as the demons do,  or a mental agreement that Jesus exists,

but without trusting Him, without faith in Him....

(even the demons will bow before Y'SHUA (they already acknowledge Y'SHUA as MESSIAH and as GOD,   but none of them will be saved at all)
