Read Ezekiel 48 in context

Scripture Focus

8And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

9The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.

10And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.

Ezekiel 48:8-10

Biblical Context

The passage presents a large, precise rectangle with a central sanctuary, where offerings are arranged around the holy space and the LORD’s sanctuary sits in the middle.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine these numbers as states of consciousness, not stones. The 'border of Judah' marks the edge of your familiar self, stretching from the east to the west, with the sanctuary placed squarely in the middle. The offering and the oblation symbolize what you allow into your awareness—your thoughts, feelings, and acts brought into contact with the I AM. When you move through life in any direction—north, south, east, or west—the center remains unchanged and holy. The 'sanctuary of the LORD' is the steadiness of awareness that holds all activity within its bounds. The priests’ portion is your inner worship: a constant devotion to the truth that you are the temple, that divine life flows through you as your very being. So you learn to separate what is profane from what is sacred not by exclusion but by aligning every aspect of living under the governor within the core. Practically, you will find God’s presence arises in the middle when you keep returning to that center and treat it as home, regardless of outer conditions.
