1 τάδε λέγει κύριος θεός πύλη ἡ ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ ἐσωτέρᾳ ἡ βλέπουσα πρὸς ἀνατολὰς ἔσται κεκλεισμένη ἓξ ἡμέρας τὰς ἐνεργούς ἐν δὲ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἀνοιχθήσεται καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς νουμηνίας ἀνοιχθήσεται

2 καὶ εἰσελεύσεται ὁ ἀφηγούμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ αιλαμ τῆς πύλης τῆς ἔξωθεν καὶ στήσεται ἐπὶ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης καὶ ποιήσουσιν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ προσκυνήσει ἐπὶ τοῦ προθύρου τῆς πύλης καὶ ἐξελεύσεται καὶ ἡ πύλη οὐ μὴ κλεισθῇ ἕως ἑσπέρας

3 καὶ προσκυνήσει ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς κατὰ τὰ πρόθυρα τῆς πύλης ἐκείνης ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις ἐναντίον κυρίου

4 καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα προσοίσει ὁ ἀφηγούμενος τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἓξ ἀμνοὺς ἀμώμους καὶ κριὸν ἄμωμον

5 καὶ μαναα πέμμα τῷ κριῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς θυσίαν δόμα χειρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ ιν τῷ πέμματι

6 καὶ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς νουμηνίας μόσχον ἄμωμον καὶ ἓξ ἀμνούς καὶ κριὸς ἄμωμος ἔσται

7 καὶ πέμμα τῷ κριῷ καὶ πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ ἔσται μαναα καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς καθὼς ἐὰν ἐκποιῇ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ ιν τῷ πέμματι

8 καὶ ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι τὸν ἀφηγούμενον κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ αιλαμ τῆς πύλης εἰσελεύσεται καὶ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης ἐξελεύσεται

9 καὶ ὅταν εἰσπορεύηται ὁ λαὸς τῆς γῆς ἐναντίον κυρίου ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν προσκυνεῖν ἐξελεύσεται κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς νότον καὶ ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς νότον ἐξελεύσεται κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τῆς πύλης τῆς πρὸς βορρᾶν οὐκ ἀναστρέψει κατὰ τὴν πύλην ἣν εἰσελήλυθεν ἀλλ' ἢ κατ' εὐθὺ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται

10 καὶ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς εἰσελεύσεται μετ' αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐκπορεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐξελεύσεται

11 καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς πανηγύρεσιν ἔσται τὸ μαναα πέμμα τῷ μόσχῳ καὶ πέμμα τῷ κριῷ καὶ τοῖς ἀμνοῖς καθὼς ἂν ἐκποιῇ ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ ιν τῷ πέμματι

12 ἐὰν δὲ ποιήσῃ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ὁμολογίαν ὁλοκαύτωμα σωτηρίου τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἀνοίξει ἑαυτῷ τὴν πύλην τὴν βλέπουσαν κατ' ἀνατολὰς καὶ ποιήσει τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ τοῦ σωτηρίου αὐτοῦ ὃν τρόπον ποιεῖ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων καὶ ἐξελεύσεται καὶ κλείσει τὰς θύρας μετὰ τὸ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτόν

13 καὶ ἀμνὸν ἐνιαύσιον ἄμωμον ποιήσει εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα καθ' ἡμέραν τῷ κυρίῳ πρωὶ ποιήσει αὐτόν

14 καὶ μαναα ποιήσει ἐπ' αὐτῷ τὸ πρωὶ ἕκτον τοῦ μέτρου καὶ ἐλαίου τὸ τρίτον τοῦ ιν τοῦ ἀναμεῖξαι τὴν σεμίδαλιν μαναα τῷ κυρίῳ πρόσταγμα διὰ παντός

15 ποιήσετε τὸν ἀμνὸν καὶ τὸ μαναα καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον ποιήσετε τὸ πρωὶ ὁλοκαύτωμα διὰ παντός

16 τάδε λέγει κύριος θεός ἐὰν δῷ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος δόμα ἑνὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ τοῦτο τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἔσται κατάσχεσις ἐν κληρονομίᾳ

17 ἐὰν δὲ δῷ δόμα ἑνὶ τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται αὐτῷ ἕως τοῦ ἔτους τῆς ἀφέσεως καὶ ἀποδώσει τῷ ἀφηγουμένῳ πλὴν τῆς κληρονομίας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ αὐτοῖς ἔσται

18 καὶ οὐ μὴ λάβῃ ὁ ἀφηγούμενος ἐκ τῆς κληρονομίας τοῦ λαοῦ καταδυναστεῦσαι αὐτούς ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ κατακληρονομήσει τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ὅπως μὴ διασκορπίζηται ὁ λαός μου ἕκαστος ἐκ τῆς κατασχέσεως αὐτοῦ

19 καὶ εἰσήγαγέν με εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῆς κατὰ νώτου τῆς πύλης εἰς τὴν ἐξέδραν τῶν ἁγίων τῶν ἱερέων τὴν βλέπουσαν πρὸς βορρᾶν καὶ ἰδοὺ τόπος ἐκεῖ κεχωρισμένος

20 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με οὗτος ὁ τόπος ἐστίν οὗ ἑψήσουσιν ἐκεῖ οἱ ἱερεῖς τὰ ὑπὲρ ἀγνοίας καὶ τὰ ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτίας καὶ ἐκεῖ πέψουσι τὸ μαναα τὸ παράπαν τοῦ μὴ ἐκφέρειν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν τοῦ ἁγιάζειν τὸν λαόν

21 καὶ ἐξήγαγέν με εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐξωτέραν καὶ περιήγαγέν με ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα μέρη τῆς αὐλῆς καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐλὴ κατὰ τὸ κλίτος τῆς αὐλῆς αὐλὴ κατὰ τὸ κλίτος τῆς αὐλῆς

22 ἐπὶ τὰ τέσσαρα κλίτη τῆς αὐλῆς αὐλὴ μικρά μῆκος πηχῶν τεσσαράκοντα καὶ εὖρος πηχῶν τριάκοντα μέτρον ἓν ταῖς τέσσαρσιν

23 καὶ ἐξέδραι κύκλῳ ἐν αὐταῖς κύκλῳ ταῖς τέσσαρσιν καὶ μαγειρεῖα γεγονότα ὑποκάτω τῶν ἐξεδρῶν κύκλῳ

24 καὶ εἶπεν πρός με οὗτοι οἱ οἶκοι τῶν μαγειρείων οὗ ἑψήσουσιν ἐκεῖ οἱ λειτουργοῦντες τῷ οἴκῳ τὰ θύματα τοῦ λαοῦ

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).
