Ezekiel's Temple

Ezekiel was a prophet from a long time ago who wrote about a special temple that God showed him in a dream. This temple was different from other temples because it had special things inside that were not in other temples.

One thing that made this temple special was the altar, which was extra big and had special horns on the corners. The altar was where people could make sacrifices to God.

Inside the temple, there were special rooms for the priests to use when they were working. There was also a special room where only the king could go.

The temple had lots of special rules about who could go inside and what they could do there. Even the gates had rules about who could go through them.

Some people think that Ezekiel's temple was just a dream and never really existed in real life. But it was a special vision that God gave to Ezekiel to show him how important it is to follow God's rules and to honor Him.
