Ezekiel chapter 41 describes in detail the prophet's view of God's temple, including his measurements, architecture and ornaments. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in this chapter:
1 Kings 6:2 - "And the house that King Solomon built to the Lord was sixty cubits, twenty wide and thirty in height." This verse provides an example of a temple measurements, as well as Ezekiel 41.
Isaiah 2:2 - "It will happen in the last days that the mound of the house of the Lord will be established in the summit of the mountains, and will rise upon the hills; and all nations will compete to him." This verse talks about the importance of the Lord's house, or temple, which is emphasized in Ezekiel 41.
1 Corinthians 3:16 - "Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" This verse makes a connection between the physical temple and God's people, showing that the temple represents God's presence on earth.
Psalm 48:9 - "We think of your love in your temple." This verse talks about the joy and worship that people feel when they are in the temple of God, reflecting the importance of the temple to the community of faith.
John 2:19 - "Jesus answered, and said unto them, Detrine this temple, and in three days I will raise him." This verse talks about the destruction and reconstruction of the temple, which is an important theme in Ezekiel 41, where the prophet sees a vision of a new temple being built.
