"The prince shall then be in their midst"

Text: Ezekiel 46:10

THE APPOINTED FEAST DAYS

The ancient Feasts of the Lord would be celebrated again. They would be celebrated as Memorial Feasts!

“But when the people of the land come before the Lord on the appointed feast days, whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate; and whoever enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall go out through the opposite gate. The prince shall then be in their midst. When they go in,
he shall go in; and when they go out, he shall go out. At the festivals and the appointed feast days the grain offering shall be an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as much as he wants to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah.”
