It may seem to the casual, or uninterested reader of Scripture that the minute details of this Temple are of little interest. Some may even say as they do with the various chronologies in the Bible that they are unnecessary and without any spiritual importance. However, God says to us through King David that His Word is of supreme importance.
Psalm 138:2-3
2I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3In the day that I called thou answeredst me (ASV, 1901).
Our God has given us much to be desired. We may not know the immediate importance of the facts and details of the Messianic Temple but God has not given us irrelevant, inconsequential or unnecessary plans and designs. These details of the future Temple provide us with an understanding of one of God’s characteristics. He is a God of order, facts, truth, plan and decorum. He does nothing haphazardly. While we may not see the importance of His order it is apparent that He had an everlasting interest in the manner in which we worship Him as the Creator and Redeemer
