1 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Porta atrii interioris, quæ respicit ad orientem, erit clausa sex diebus in quibus opus fit : die autem sabbati aperietur, sed in die calendarum aperietur.

2 Et intrabit princeps per viam vestibuli portæ deforis, et stabit in limine portæ : et facient sacerdotes holocaustum ejus, et pacifica ejus : et adorabit super limen portæ, et egredietur : porta autem non claudetur usque ad vesperam.

3 Et adorabit populus terræ ad ostium portæ illius in sabbatis et in calendis coram Domino.

4 Holocaustum autem hoc offeret princeps Domino : in die sabbati, sex agnos immaculatos, et arietem immaculatum,

5 et sacrificium ephi per arietem, in agnis autem sacrificium quod dederit manus ejus, et olei hin per singula ephi.

6 In die autem calendarum vitulum de armento immaculatum, et sex agni et arietes immaculati erunt.

7 Et ephi per vitulum, ephi quoque per arietem faciet sacrificium : de agnis autem, sicut invenerit manus ejus, et olei hin per singula ephi.

8 Cumque ingressurus est princeps, per viam vestibuli portæ ingrediatur, et per eamdem viam exeat.

9 Et cum intrabit populus terræ in conspectu Domini in solemnitatibus, qui ingreditur per portam aquilonis, ut adoret, egrediatur per viam portæ meridianæ : porro qui ingreditur per viam portæ meridianæ, egrediatur per viam portæ aquilonis. Non revertetur per viam portæ per quam ingressus est, sed e regione illius egredietur.

10 Princeps autem in medio eorum, cum ingredientibus indredietur, et cum egredientibus egredietur.

11 Et in nundinis, et in solemnitatibus, erit sacrificium ephi per vitulum, et ephi per arietem : agnis autem erit sacrificium sicut invenerit manus ejus, et olei hin per singula ephi.

12 Cum autem fecerit princeps spontaneum holocaustum, aut pacifica voluntaria Domino, aperietur ei porta quæ respicit ad orientem, et faciet holocaustum suum et pacifica sua, sicut fieri solet in die sabbati : et egredietur, claudeturque porta postquam exierit.

13 Et agnum ejusdem anni immaculatum faciet holocaustum quotidie Domino : semper mane faciet illud.

14 Et faciet sacrificium super eo cata mane mane sextam partem ephi, et de oleo tertiam partem hin, ut misceatur similæ : sacrificium Domino legitimum, juge atque perpetuum.

15 Faciet agnum, et sacrificium, et oleum cata mane mane, holocaustum sempiternum.

16 Hæc dicit Dominuis Deus : Si dederit princeps donum alicui de filiis suis, hæreditas ejus filiorum suorum erit : possidebunt eam hæreditarie.

17 Si autem dederit legatum de hæreditate sua uni servorum suorum, erit illius usque ad annum remissionis, et revertetur ad principem : hæreditas autem ejus filiis ejus erit.

18 Et non accipiet princeps de hæreditate populi per violentiam, et de possessione eorum : sed de possessione sua hæreditatem dabit filiis suis, ut non dispergatur populus meus unusquisque a possessione sua.

19 Et introduxit me per ingressum qui erat ex latere portæ, in gazophylacia sanctuarii ad sacerdotes, quæ respiciebant ad aquilonem : et erat ibi locus vergens ad occidentem.

20 Et dixit ad me : Iste est locus ubi coquent sacerdotes pro peccato et pro delicto, ubi coquent sacrificium, ut non efferant in atrium exterius, et sanctificetur populus.

21 Et eduxit me in atrium exterius, et circumduxit me per quatuor angulos atrii : et ecce atriolum erat in angulo atrii, atriola singula per angulos atrii.

22 In quatuor angulis atrii atriola disposita, quadraginta cubitorum per longum, et triginta per latum : mensuræ unius quatuor erant.

23 Et paries per circuitum ambiens quatuor atriola : et culinæ fabricatæ erant subter porticus per gyrum.

24 Et dixit ad me : Hæc est domus culinarum, in qua coquent ministri domus Domini victimas populi.

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).
