Book excerpt: In Visualizing the Vision, the author presents a detailed analysis of Ezekiel’s temple vision from an architectural, linguistic, and historical approach. The study demonstrates that the vision was not meant as a building instruction, but as a sign of hope for the exiles in Babylon, showing the temple as it will be built in a distant future, when it will never again be defiled and the Glory of the Lord will return to His house forever. The author takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the description of the vision’s temple and provides architectural drawings of its possible construction, situating these within the larger framework of Ancient Near Eastern building styles.
