"This is the Most Holy Place"

Text: Ezekiel 41:4

THE MILLENNIAL SANCTUARY

When God gave the plans to Moses to build the Tabernacle, great attention was paid to the construction of the Sanctuary. The same attention was given to the building of the Millennial Sanctuary.

“Then he brought me into the sanctuary and measured the doorposts, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other side—the width of the tabernacle. The width of the entryway was ten cubits, and the side walls of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits. Also he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits. He measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, ‘This is the Most Holy Place.'”
Ezekiel 41:1-4
