First, there is a difficulty in connecting Ezekiel’s “gate facing east” with the Eastern Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem. Ezekiel specifically says the gate he saw is “the outer gate of the sanctuary” (Ezekiel 44:1); that is, it’s a gate of the temple court, not a gate of the city. The initial glimpse of temple language occurs with the first image-bearers in the garden of Eden—Adam and Eve (Gen. 1:26-27). We’re told that Adam and Eve were made in God’s image. Images of ancient gods typically took the form of idols placed in ancient temples. So the message of Genesis 1-2 is clear: God created humanity to dwell with him and bear his image to the world. For a brief moment, there was no need for a temple structure. All of humanity lived in harmony with each other, nature, and God.

At the gate of the temple; where there must needs be the greater notice taken of him; none going in or out but such as might see him. a b Erik Hornung (2002).

Quando gli Antichi tracciano una figura, non è più la figura che guardano, ma ciò che vi proiettano da se stessi: fisicamente la guardano come un'ombra, un traforo nella luce della sua assenza. Individuano i suoi contorni. Quando tracciano una figura geometrica, non è più questa figura ad interessarli, la la Legge fatale che la impone e la conseguenza fatale che esse provoca. Così la geometria assume lo stesso carattere di vita delle immagini che scolpiscono o tracciano.Numerically, of course, there is an emphasis here on three. Many Egyptian divinities, in fact, were worshipped in triads (such as Amun-Mut-Khonsu). Christopher Dunn, engineer and author of Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt, was blown away when he examined these crowns in detail. He writes:

He continued with a warning of the difficulties to come: "And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, 'Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), so that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed'" (Luke 2:34–35). These words disclose that Jesus would reveal truth and that He would be accepted as the "consolation of Israel" by some of the Jews but not by others. Simeon's words also revealed that there would be opposition to Jesus in the future and that Jesus' suffering would cause personal pain to Mary. But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? Schwaller's text demands that it not be just read, but that it be 'thought along with.' His scientific writings contain poetic and spiritual insights that touch the soul . . . because true science, as he conceives it, is capable of generating those insights--indeed, it demands that they be generated." sur les Nombres (Aor publications, 1917).

ISBN 0-89281-112-9 Arguing for a literal fulfillment of the prophecy of Ezekiel’s temple are the numerous details of Ezekiel’s vision and the specific dimensions of the temple. If the vision is to be literally fulfilled, then the fulfillment must be future, for nothing like what is described in Ezekiel 40–48 has taken place up to this point. The dimensions of Ezekiel’s temple are far larger than the temple in Jesus’ day, and that temple was a grand structure.W

ISBN 0-415-18549-1Second, the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem is not the same one that Jesus rode through in His triumphal entry. The modern Eastern Gate was not constructed until centuries after the time of Christ. The original gate that Nehemiah built (and possibly dating to the time of Solomon) is underground, below the current gate, as documented by archaeologist James Fleming in 1969. It was through the lower gate (now underground) that Jesus would have entered Jerusalem in AD 30. Strong's 3756: No, not. Also ouk, and ouch a primary word; the absolute negative adverb; no or not.

Some interpret these passages in Ezekiel as references to the Lord Jesus Christ. The glory of the Lord coming into the temple is seen as the triumphal entry (Ezekiel 43:2; Matthew 21:1–11). The command to permanently shut the gate because the Lord has entered it (Ezekiel 44:2) is seen as a prediction of the walling-up of the Eastern Gate by the Muslims in AD 1540. And, finally, the “prince” to whom the gate will be opened (Ezekiel 46:12) is seen as Christ Himself at the second coming—the Prince of Peace will return to the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4) and enter Jerusalem by way of the re-opened Eastern Gate.Greer, John Michael (2003).

The central part comprises of four pillars, while on either side are smaller rooms with two pillars each. Once you observe the myriad of correspondences, however, you can’t unsee them. A study of Luxor Temple reveals that the ancient Egyptians had much deeper knowledge of human anatomy (and a whole lot else) than Egyptologists give them credit for.
