  1. Close and closer<\/em>. Who are the ones serving in sanctity that make use of the chambers? \u201cThe priests who have access to the LORD\u201d (verse 13). Apparently not all the priests were the same status. The same thing was expressed in chapter 40. There we met \u201cthe priests who perform the duties of the altar\u2014they are the descendants of Zadok, who alone of the descendants of Levi may approach the LORD to minister to Him\u201d (40:46).<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Sanctity and separation<\/em>. The system of walls, steps and gates is designed to create a separation between holy and profane, \u201cto separate the consecrated from the unconsecrated\u201d (verse 20), and between different consecrated realms. This isn\u2019t just a building, it\u2019s a worldview.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Inner, and outer<\/em>. The Temple is the main thing. But in a vision of 87 verses (chs. 40-42), only 23 verses describe it directly. All the rest give a detailed description of the outer elements: the gates, the courtyards, the outer chambers. What should we deduce from that?<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Everything is ready<\/em>. At least in the vision – the Temple is prepared. What\u2019s missing? Patience – it\u2019s in the next chapter.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
