The preceding chapter gave us the surroundings of the temple; we now come to the temple itself. The door is its first feature. How reassuring that God should put entrance before us right away. Then comes the measurement of “the most holy place” (Ezek. 45:3³And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place. (Ezekiel 45:3)) and an elaborate description of the “many mansions” for the priests, such as were referred to in reference to the temple of that day by our Lord in John 14:2²In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2).

The holiest of all was foursquare, so was the temple as a whole, answering on the earthly side to the heavenly city when we read, “And the city lieth foursquare” (Rev. 21:16¹⁶And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. (Revelation 21:16)).

The whole sanctuary, including courts and outer wall, was five hundred reeds square, or a little over one mile square.
