Can anyone explain what is going on at the end of Ezekiel? Matthew Henry says that Jews don't let people read it until they are 30 years old. Dispensationalists claim that it is a picture of the new temple that will exist in the millenial kingdom and it will include LITERAL animal sacrifices by Levitical priests as a memorial of Christ's sacrifice for Israel. Many study bibles just don't comment a lot on what the prophecies mean.
I have been told by dispensatinalists their view and I would like to know how to refute that because I don't see how that could be right. Jesus said it is finished on the cross, and Paul says in Galatians that we are Israel if we are in Christ. And the levitical priesthood is supposed to be abolished because Christ is reigning now at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor and High Priest and his sacrifice has atoned for our sins. He is our prophet priest and king all at once.
