the visions . There can be little doubt , that the grand outlines of the description of the temple , in the following extraordinary vision , were taken from that of Solomon's , with all the additions made to it in after ages; and we may suppose that Zerubbabel and the other Jews had respect to it , as far as circumstances would permit , in rebuilding the temple after the captivity. There are , however , many circumstances which conclusively shew , that something infinitely superior to either the first or second temple was intended; and that the external description must be considered as a figure and emblem of spiritual blessings. Probably the more immediate accomplishment of the prophecy will be subsequent to the conversion and restoration of the Jews , the destruction of Gog and Magog , and the pouring out of the Spirit , mentioned at the close of the last chapter; but whether there will be any external forms analogous to these cannot be determined , though in some respects it seems improbable.

they three . The entrance into the outer court seems to have been through a porch with doors at both ends; and on each side of this porch were three small chambers , or rooms , for the use of the porters , a reed square in size , with a passage of five cubits between them. The common cubit , termed the "cubit of a man ," . Deuteronomy 3 . 11 , was about 18 inches; but the cubit used by the angel was , as we learn from Ezekiel 43 . 13 , "a cubit and a hand breadth ," or about three inches more than the common cubit , that is 21 inches. Hence the measuring reed , which was "six cubits long , by the cubit and the hand breadth ," . Ezekiel 40 . 5 , must have been about 10+ feet

It does not appear that any such tables were used either in the tabernacle or temple; and this seems to intimate the introduction of a new and more spiritual dispensation. See the references.

Two bivalve , or folding doors , each leaf of them being three cubits wide , seem to have formed the entrance; which , with five cubits , perhaps of brick or stone work , one each side , called "the post of the porch ," amount to sixteen cubits; and the other four cubits may be supposed to have been the distance from these posts to the outside walls of the temple. 1 Kings 6 . 3 , 2 Chronicles 3 . 4
