In the millennial temple there is nothing said about a golden altar of incense or the seven branched golden lampstand. The altar of incense symbolized the prayers of God’s people ascending to the Lord (Ps 141:2; Rev 8:3). Since the Lord is present with them in Revelation, there is no symbolic prayer. As for the lampstand, which symbolized the light of God’s truth, the shekinah glory was prsent in the temple of the Lord.
Ezekiel had seen the glory depart from the temple, but now he saw the glory return (Ezek 43:1-12). His guide took him back to the eastern gate in the outer court, and when he looked out, he saw the glory approaching. Along with the sight of the glory, came the voice “like the noise/roar of many waters” (Rev 1:15; 14:2; 19:6). Ezekiel prostrated himself to the ground as he did when he saw the glory throne at the beginning of his calling. (Ezek 1:28; 3:23; 9:8; 11:13). Then the temple was filled with God’s glory, and the Spirit transported Ezekiel back into the inner court.
In both the tabernacle and the temple, God’s glory was “enthroned” on the mercy seat in the Holy of Holies (Ex 25:22; Ps 80:1; 99:1). In the millennial temple there is no mention of the ark and mercy seat. The temple will still be God’s throne (Ezek 43:6-7), and the Messiah will still reign (Zech 6:9-13). Ezekiel describes the glory of the temple in detail and wrote it down so God’s people will get the message and want to obey the Lord. A similar admonition is found in (Ezek 44:4-8) when Ezekiel was at the North Gate. We need to take heart not to be complacent when it comes to the things of God.
Putting faith in the Lord (Heb 11; Ps 51:16-17; Hab 2:4) shows lessons that can be learnt.
Genuine success is found in establishing a relationship with God, discovering who He created you to be, then developing talents and gifts He has given you, just like Ezekiel pursued. It’s all about Trust, obeying and being content in amongst the circumstances.
