September 11, 2023 Bible Study — Do Not Commit Idolatry on the Other Side of the Wall From the Glory of God

Today, I am reading and commenting on  Ezekiel 41-43.

Perhaps if I was an architect or a civil engineer I would get more out of Ezekiel’s description of the new temple in his vision.  However, considering that Paul writes that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, we should pay attention to what Ezekiel says about how the Israelites had defiled God’s name in the original temple.  He writes about how the Israelites had performed idolatrous rituals in the old temple with just a wall separating these evil activities from where God’s glory resided.  After all, if our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit, then any sins we commit are next to the glory of God.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
