did anyone else see the image of Washington DC in the layout of the temple districts?

No I did not see that. I have a hard time figuring that stuff out. But….I did find 2 nice sites that showed the temple itself side by side with scripture. The first link is a very well done video. The second link will take you to a more indepth study if a person has an interest in that.

Goodness! What a lot of detailed description! Found 2 very interesting sites to help understand these chapters. The first link is to some videos that do a very good job of showing what is described. The second link is also of great interest for those perhaps wanting to go more indepth!

Well….we’ll try this a second time. Don’t know where the first post went!
Found two sites to help with the detailed description in these chapters. The first link is to video which I recommend. Don’t know how accurate it is but certainly better than my imagination! The second link is probably more indepth for those interested in further study of this temple.

I know we’re past Ezekiel 20:11, but this verse has been stuck in my head. Do y’all know of a new testament verse that resembles this?

For starters study Luke 10:28 and Romans 10:5. This link might help your studies:

The idea of that particular verse is taught often in the Old and Renewed Covenants. Have fun!

Does anyone know anything about these pads in 13:18?
July 11, 2019 at 9:15 am /
I thought the pads and bonnets were soft armour. protecting/supporting head and joints/ vulnerable places on the body. Thats speculation, I have no professional insight.

According to various commentaries it has something to do with witchcraft/voodoo. Pillows can be interpreted as straps.
From Dr Bob Utley from E Sword:
SPECIAL TOPIC: WOMEN IN THE BIBLE
Eze_13:18 “sew magic bands on all their wrists” This group is seen more like sorceresses than prophetesses. The word “magic band” (BDB 492, see Special Topic: Magic) is found only here in the OT and has been interpreted several ways.
1. as amulets
2. as phylacteries (Origen’s Hexapla)
3. as pillows (LXX, JPSOA, KJV)
The phrase “on all their wrists” is literally “all joints of the hands” (BDB 69 construct 388). This seems to be similar to modern voodoo with its spells and incantations.
“make veils for the heads of persons of every stature” The NOUN “veils” (BDB 705) appears only here and in Eze_13:21 in the OT. KB (607) calls it a robe of coarse material, while LXX has “scarf,” or “head covering.” Whatever these items were, they were attempts to control the destinies of people (both negatively as curses and positively as charms, cf. Eze_13:19). This is the essence of divination and the occult. It is an expression of egocentric fallen humanity!
▣ “but preserve the lives of others for yourselves” This shows that whatever their occultic practices were, they were done for self interest! These false prophets/prophetesses wanted to destroy some people and protect others, but not for the glory of YHWH rather for their own selfish, manipulative purposes! Religion can be superstitious and destructive!

Thanks Denise. I was wondering if there was a modern equivalent around today to better picture it and understand what was going on. Thanks again 🙂
