Here Ezekiel sees a vision from the Lord about the new temple in Jerusalem. Ezekiel himself said that it was similar to his first vision of the Lord when he was called in chapters 1-3, and when the Spirit of the Lord left the temple in chapter 10 of Ezekiel. One thing that is clear is that the temple was demolished because the people and the temple had ceased to be holy, instead they had become profane & unclean. The Lord is calling both His people, and His priests to be holy as He is holy. The Lord is still calling His people to that (1 Peter chapter 1).
