The "inner sanctuary" is often understood as the Most Holy Place, a sacred area where God's presence was believed to dwell. The emphasis on the space above the entrance highlights the importance of the temple's structure and its symbolic representation of divine order and holiness. This mirrors the design of Solomon's Temple, where the Most Holy Place was the innermost and most sacred part (<a href="/1_kings/6-19.htm">1 Kings 6:19-20</a>).<p><b>on all the walls</b><br>The mention of "all the walls" suggests a comprehensive and detailed decoration or design, indicating the thoroughness and precision in the construction of the temple. This reflects the meticulous nature of God's instructions for sacred spaces, as seen in the detailed descriptions of the tabernacle in <a href="/exodus/25.htm">Exodus 25-27</a>. The walls' adornment may symbolize the encompassing presence of God and His holiness surrounding His people.<p><b>spaced evenly around the inner and outer sanctuary</b><br>The phrase "spaced evenly" implies order and symmetry, which are significant in biblical architecture as they reflect divine perfection and harmony. The "inner and outer sanctuary" distinction indicates different levels of access and holiness, with the inner sanctuary being more sacred. This separation is reminiscent of the tabernacle and temple layouts, where only the high priest could enter the Most Holy Place once a year (<a href="/hebrews/9-7.htm">Hebrews 9:7</a>). The even spacing may also symbolize the orderly nature of God's creation and His desire for balance and justice in the world.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel receives visions from God, including the detailed vision of the new temple.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/inner_sanctuary.htm">Inner Sanctuary</a></b><br>The most holy place within the temple, symbolizing God's presence among His people.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/c/cherubim.htm">Cherubim</a></b><br>Angelic beings often associated with the presence and glory of God, depicted in the temple's design.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/palm_trees.htm">Palm Trees</a></b><br>Symbolic of victory, peace, and eternal life, used in the temple's decoration.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/n/nave.htm">Nave</a></b><br>The main body of the temple, where worshippers would gather.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_holiness_and_presence.htm">God's Holiness and Presence</a></b><br>The detailed design of the temple, including the cherubim, underscores the holiness of God and His desire to dwell among His people.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_victory_and_peace.htm">Symbolism of Victory and Peace</a></b><br>The palm trees symbolize victory and peace, reminding believers of the ultimate victory and peace found in Christ.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/continuity_of_worship.htm">Continuity of Worship</a></b><br>The consistent use of cherubim and palm trees from the tabernacle to the temple highlights the continuity of worship and God's unchanging nature.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/heavenly_vision_and_earthly_reality.htm">Heavenly Vision and Earthly Reality</a></b><br>Ezekiel's vision points to a heavenly reality that believers are called to reflect in their lives through holiness and worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/a/anticipation_of_the_new_creation.htm">Anticipation of the New Creation</a></b><br>The temple vision foreshadows the new creation where God's presence will be fully realized, encouraging believers to live in anticipation of this promise.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_ezekiel_41.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 41</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/do_ezekiel_41_1-5_measurements_match_any_temple.htm">How do the specific measurements in Ezekiel 41 (particularly verses 1-5) align with any known historical or archaeological temple structure?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_ezekiel_41's_temple_feasible.htm">What scientific or historical evidence supports or refutes the feasibility of the temple dimensions given in Ezekiel 41?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_the_eastern_gate_important.htm">Why is Jerusalem's Eastern Gate significant?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_reconcile_ezekiel_41_with_1_kings_6.htm">How can Ezekiel 41's instructions be reconciled with the different layout presented for Solomon's Temple in 1 Kings 6?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/41.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(17) <span class= "bld">To that above the door.--</span>Better, (<span class= "ital">The space</span>) <span class= "ital">over above the door, both to the inner house and without</span> . . .
