    Ezekiels Temple Vision

    What do make of the Temple vision? It's so specific not only with the blueprint and dimensions but of the Temple rites, customs and priestly offerings. For me it represents a symbolic, ultra dimensional example of skillful perfection by the most high planner, creator and instructor of all...
