More about Pilgrimage of Ezekiel.
* Al'Ihraam (part of pilgrimage to Mecca):
Ezekiel,
42:13 Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.
42:14 When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place intothe utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.
In these verses Ezekiel refers to the sacrifice during Al Hajj,"the meat offeringand the sin offering".
Furthermore, he talks about Al Ihram at the beginning of the Hajj.."they shall lay their garments wherein they minister, and shall put on other garments", and they are the garments described by him in 44:17-19.
* Important Note:
During this Journey, God has asked Ezekiel to preserve the place and its measures...Let's read:
Ezekiel
44:5 And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
44:6 And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith theLord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
But, Why did God ask for such thing?
The answer comes from the Qur'an:
In Surat (Chapter) Al Baqarah (the cow, which is Chapter 2)..we read:
144. We see the turning of thy face (for guidance to the heavens:now Shall We turn thee to a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque: Wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction. The people of the Book know well that that is the truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do.
(The Noble Quran, 2:144)
The matter of changing the qibla was very confusing matter for Muslims, the jews at AlMadina used that for their own advantage, yet Allah unveiled them in the Qur'an..Allahsays clearly "The people of the Book know well that that is the truth from theirLord",so that God ordered Ezekiel to preserve the place and its description to be aprove against them in their own books, even after their corruptions,Indeed."they think they are over reaching God, but God will over reach them"..!
* Is really That description for the
House of GOD representthe Temple that was built by Solomon?
