Nineteen years passed away^ during which time
" the Word of Jehovah " constantly came to the
Prophet and spake unto him, and shewed him
visions of many* events, concerning the Israelites
and the heathen nations by whom they were sur-
rounded; but his prophecy^ is to close with visions

and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me ;
for he shall receive of mine, and shew them mito you."
John xvi. 18, 14.
* " These last nine chapters of Ezekiel are thought to be the
most difficult part of the whole Bible; the Jews forbid the
reading of it till a man is arrived at 30 years of age." ** Gill's
Commentary."

That these prophecies refer to the re-establishment of the
Mosaic ceremonies, seems incompatible with the teaching of
the New Testament ; they may refer to the glorious time
when all things shall be made new, when there are new
heavens and a new earth ; then will the Lord God Almighty
and the Lamb be the temple of the New Jerusalem, and the
glory of God and the Lamb will be the light thereof.
