1 Cumque cœperitis terram dividere sortito, separate primitias Domino, sanctificatum de terra, longitudine viginti quinque millia, et latitudine decem millia : sanctificatum erit in omni termino ejus per circuitum.

2 Et erit ex omni parte sanctificatum quingentos per quingentos, quadrifariam per circuitum, et quinquaginta cubitis in suburbana ejus per gyrum.

3 Et a mensura ista mensurabis longitudinem viginti quinque millium, et latitudinem decem millium : et in ipso erit templum Sanctumque sanctorum.

4 Sanctificatum de terra erit sacerdotibus ministris sanctuarii, qui accedunt ad ministerium Domini : et erit eis locus in domos, et in sanctuarium sanctitatis.

5 Viginti quinque autem millia longitudinis, et decem millia latitudinis erunt Levitis qui ministrant domui : ipsi possidebunt Viginti gazophylacia.

6 Et possessionem civitatis dabitis quinque millia latitudinis, et longitudinis viginti quinque millia, secundum separationem sanctuarii, omni domui Israël.

7 Principi quoque hinc et inde in separationem sanctuarii, et in possessionem civitatis, contra faciem separationis sanctuarii, et contra faciem possessionis urbis, a latere maris usque ad mare, et a latere orientis usque ad orientem : longitudinis autem juxta unamquamque partem, a termino occidentali usque ad terminum orientalem.

8 De terra erit ei possessio in Israël, et non depopulabuntur ultra principes populum meum : sed terram dabunt domui Israël secundum tribus eorum.

9 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Sufficiat vobis, principes Israël : iniquitatem et rapinas intermittite, et judicium et justitiam facite : separate confinia vestra a populo meo, ait Dominus Deus.

10 Statera justa, et ephi justum, et batus justus erit vobis.

11 Ephi et batus æqualia et unius mensuræ erunt, ut capiat decimam partem cori batus, et decimam partem cori ephi : juxta mensuram cori erit æqua libratio eorum.

12 Siclus autem viginti obolos habet : porro viginti sicli, et viginti quinque sicli, et quindecim sicli, mnam faciunt.

13 Et hæc sunt primitiæ quas tolletis : sextam partem ephi de coro frumenti, et sextam partem ephi de coro hordei.

14 Mensura quoque olei, batus olei, decima pars cori est : et decem bati corum faciunt, quia decem bati implent corum.

15 Et arietem unum de grege ducentorum, de his quæ nutriunt Israël, in sacrificium, et in holocaustum, et in pacifica, ad expiandum pro eis, ait Dominus Deus.

16 Omnis populus terræ tenebitur primitiis his principi in Israël.

17 Et super principem erunt holocausta, et sacrificium, et libamina, in solemnitatibus, et in calendis, et in sabbatis, et in universis solemnitatibus domus Israël : ipse faciet pro peccato sacrificium, et holocaustum, et pacifica, ad expiandum pro domo Israël.

18 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : In primo mense, una mensis, sumes vitulum de armento immaculatum, et expiabis sanctuarium.

19 Et tollet sacerdos de sanguine quod erit pro peccato, et ponet in postibus domus, et in quatuor angulis crepidinis altaris, et in postibus portæ atrii interioris.

20 Et sic facies in septima mensis, pro unoquoque qui ignoravit, et errore deceptus est : et expiabis pro domo.

21 In primo mense, quartadecima die mensis, erit vobis Paschæ solemnitas : septem diebus azyma comedentur.

22 Et faciet princeps in die illa, pro se et pro universo populo terræ, vitulum pro peccato.

23 Et in septem dierum solemnitate faciet holocaustum Domino septem vitulos, et septem arietes immaculatos, quotidie septem diebus : et pro peccato hircum caprarum quotidie.

24 Et sacrificium ephi per vitulum, et ephi per arietem faciet, et olei hin per singula ephi.

25 Septimo mense, quintadecima die mensis, in solemnitate, faciet sicut supra dicta sunt per septem dies, tam pro peccato quam pro holocausto, et in sacrificio, et in oleo.

Apocalypse Revealed # 191

191. "'I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God.'" This symbolically means that the truths they possess, springing from goodness derived from the Lord, sustain the Lord's church in heaven.

A temple symbolizes the church, and the temple of My God symbolizes the Lord's church in heaven. It is apparent from this that a pillar symbolizes what sustains and stabilizes the church, and that is the Divine truth in the Word.

In the highest sense, a temple symbolizes the Lord in respect to His Divine humanity, particularly in respect to Divine truth. In a representative sense, however, a temple symbolizes the Lord's church in heaven, and so also the Lord's church in the world.

That a temple in the highest sense symbolizes the Lord in respect to His Divine humanity, and particularly in respect to Divine truth, is apparent from the following passages:

(Jesus said to the Jews,) "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." ...He was speaking of the temple of His body. (John 2:19, 21)

I saw no temple in (the New Jerusalem), for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. (Revelation 21:22)

Behold..., the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple, and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire. (Malachi 3:1)

I will bow myself toward Your holy temple... (Psalms 138:2)

...I will look again toward Your holy temple... And my prayer went to You, to Your holy temple. (Jonah 2:4, 7)

Jehovah is in His holy temple. (Habakkuk 2:20)

The holy temple of Jehovah or of the Lord is His Divine humanity, for it is to this that people bow, look to, and pray, and not to the temple merely, as the temple is not, in itself, holy. It is called a holy temple, because holiness is predicated of Divine truth (no. 173).

"The temple that sanctifies the gold" in Matthew 23:16-17 means nothing else than the Lord's Divine humanity.

[2] That a temple in a representative sense symbolizes the Lord's church in heaven, is apparent from the following passages:

(The) voice (of Jehovah) from the temple...! (Isaiah 66:6)

...a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven... (Revelation 16:17)

The temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. (Revelation 11:19)

...the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. And out of the temple came the seven angels... And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God... (Revelation 15:5-6, 8)

I called upon Jehovah, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple... (Psalms 18:6)

I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty, and His skirts filled the temple. (Isaiah 6:1)

[3] That a temple symbolizes the church in the world is apparent from these passages:

Our holy... temple... has become a conflagration... (Isaiah 64:11)

I will shake all nations..., that I may fill this house with glory... The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former... (Haggai 2:7, 9)

The new temple in Ezekiel 40; 41; 42; 43; 44; 45; 46; 47; 48 describes a church to be established by the Lord. A church is also meant in Revelation 11:1 by the temple that the angel measured. So likewise elsewhere, as in Isaiah 44:28, Jeremiah 7:2-4, 9-11, Zechariah 8:9.

...the disciples (of Jesus) came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, ."..Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left... upon another, that shall not be demolished." (Matthew 24:1-2)

The temple here symbolizes the church today; and its demolition means, symbolically, that not one stone would be left upon another. This symbolizes the end of that church, when not any truth would remain. For when the disciples spoke with the Lord about the temple, the Lord foretold the consecutive states of this church, even to its last one, or the end of the age; and the end of the age means the final period of the church, which is the one that exists today. This was represented by the destruction of that temple to its foundations.

[4] A temple has these three symbolic meanings, namely the Lord, the church in heaven, and the church in the world. Because these three are bound up together, they cannot be separated. Consequently one cannot be meant without the other. Therefore anyone who divorces the church in the world from the church in heaven, or the one or the other from the Lord, is without the truth.

The temple here means the church in heaven, because reference to the church in the world follows after this (no. 194).
