by

The Angel of the Lord who showed Ezekiel the Temple now brings him across the outer court to the inner court by the south gate. They now enter the inner court by way of the large inner gate on the south side going out of the outer court. This gate has the same dimensions as the three on the Outer court.

If we are not ourselves really following Christ, walking and communing with Him, it is but mockery to speak of Him to others. If our “service” for Christ is robbing us of the time so urgently needed for the cultivation of our personal “vineyard,” then it is a snare and a curse to us……Let not the reader conclude from what has been said that the writer is opposed to either public worship or the Christian’s being engaged in any good works …
