Ezekiel 43:10

That is why God showed this *vision to Ezekiel. The descriptions in this *vision may seem strange to us today. But those descriptions were familiar to the people in *exile, who had lost their *temple. Because of that event, they may have thought that nothing could mend their relationship with God. But God was showing them that they could have a new kind of relationship with him.

They should study this plan. Then they would see how it described God’s perfect character. They would see that they must respect the difference between *holy things and other things. They would see that they must love God with their whole hearts. They would see that they must confess their *sins. They would see that God still wanted to have a relationship of love with his people. And they would see that they must always be loyal to God.
