"This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
'The gate of the inner court facing east is to be shut on the six working days, but on the Sabbath day and on the day of the New Moon it is to be opened.
The prince is to enter from the outside through the portico of the gateway and stand by the gatepost. The priests are to sacrifice his burnt offering and his fellowship offerings. He is to bow down in worship at the threshold of the gateway and then go out, but the gate will not be shut until evening.' "
- Ezekiel 46:1-2 |

Worship of the Lord in His Kingdom |
|
|
Since the Messiah and his kingdom are the fulfillment of the Mosaic Law there is no conflict between New Testament faith and worship of the Messiah in his kingdom as prescribed in the Mosaic covenant.
In Ezekiel 46:1-2 we are told that gate in the inner east court will only be open on Sabbath days (and, on the first day of each month, the new moon days). On these Sabbath days the Lord will be worshipped and remembered as the Creator and the Savor. The Lord is the one who provided our world, our existence and our salvation. What Jesus has accomplished as the Creator and the Savor will be celebrated in His kingdom on these days.
On each Sabbath day and new moon day (first day of each month) the prince (the Lord’s appointed governmental ruler, not the Messiah himself) will lead the people in worship of the Lord, the Messiah. The prince will bring his offering (burnt offerings and fellowship offerings) to the Temple mount. He will enter the east court through the portico of the east gate, but will come no further than the gatepost of the gate since he is not one of the priests. The prince will be able to view the proceedings that take place inside the inner court from the doorway, but he will not cross the threshold into the inner court. From this place by the gate’s entrance the prince can bow in worship. These offerings by the prince represent his dedication to the Lord and his appreciation for having fellowship with God.
When the service is over the prince will depart back through the portico of the same eastern gate into the outer court. The eastern gate will remain open until the evening of the Sabbath day and then it will be closed until the next Sabbath. |

The concept of continental drift is scientifically supported today. The ocean floor shows signs of landmasses being ripped apart by cataclysmic events in the past. The result was the continental plates we have today. The Bible says the land was in one place at the beginning with the water in another place (Gen.1:9), that “in the six hundredth year of Noah’s life…all the springs of the great deep burst forth” (Gen.7:11) and then that the physical earth divided (Gen.10:25). |

The Zodiac Mosaic in a synagogue in Sepphoris. There are seven sites in Israel with ancient synagogues with the 12 Zodiac that include Helios in a sun chariot in the center (Beth Shean, Hammat-Tiberias, Yafia, Beit Alpha, Husifa, Naaran, Khirbe Susiya). Included in the Mosaic are biblical scenes that occured on earth such as the binding of Isaac, the consecration of Aaron and the daily sacrifice. On another side the throne of God is portrayed. These three sections seem to give us a lay out of what Paul refers to as the three heavens, or three levels of spiritual interaction: 3) the Throne of God which is Heaven itself, 2) the heavenlies where the spiritual forces abide indicated by the Zodia, 1) earth which is the realm of man's activity and where we live out our faith.
