What is the meaning of Ezekiel 45:25? during the seven days of the feast Ezekiel pictures a literal, week-long celebration that echoes the Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:33-36; Numbers 29:12-34). Just as Israel once camped in booths to remember God’s wilderness care, the future kingdom will pause for seven days to rejoice in His sustaining presence (Zechariah 14:16-19). • Seven days underscore completeness—God provides perfectly for His people. • A feast signals joy: the kingdom age is marked by glad worship rather than weary ritual (Isaiah 25:6-9). that begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month The fifteenth of Tishri fixed Israel’s annual calendar; in the millennial temple it still will (Leviticus 23:39). God’s ordained times never drift; He rules history’s clock (Acts 17:26). • This timing follows the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27), so celebration flows from cleansing—relationship before rejoicing. • The unchanging date reminds us that God’s promises are as firm as the calendar He wrote (Psalm 89:34-37). he is to make the same provision “He” points to the prince of Ezekiel’s temple (Ezekiel 44:3; 45:22). Though a royal leader, he submits to the Lord’s worship patterns. • Leadership equals responsibility: the prince supplies what worshippers need, mirroring Christ the ultimate Provider (John 6:35). • “Same provision” links this feast to Passover week (Ezekiel 45:21-24), revealing a unified system—atonement and celebration always rest on identical grace (Hebrews 10:10-14). for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, and oil Four elements paint a full picture of restored worship: • Sin offerings—remind of the cost of cleansing (Leviticus 4:27-31). • Burnt offerings—express total consecration (Leviticus 1:9). • Grain offerings—honor God with daily provision (Leviticus 2:1-3). • Oil—symbolizes the Spirit’s empowerment and gladness (Psalm 45:7). During the future feast, these offerings memorialize Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice while teaching nations righteousness (Isaiah 2:2-3). Rather than replacing Calvary, they commemorate it, just as the Lord’s Supper does today (1 Corinthians 11:26). summary Ezekiel 45:25 describes a literal, joyous Feast of Tabernacles in the coming kingdom. On the fixed fifteenth day of the seventh month, a God-appointed prince will provide every required offering for seven days, ensuring worship that is complete, cleansed, and Spirit-filled. The verse affirms that God’s calendar, His covenant promises, and His provision in Christ all stand unshakably secure. |
