The Altar, a Sign of Hope

Written By Beyond the Otherside

Lesson Text: Ezekiel 43:13-21 KJV

The altar in Ezekiel’s vision has symbolic meaning. For instance, its location outside the temple is the focal point for sin atonement.  The altar's precise measurements and detailed design emphasize the precision required to approach God. This underscores the belief that holiness is not arbitrary but follows a divine specification. Remember, the altar's precise measurement, being the exact size and shape of a square, symbolizes the perfection of God. 

Thus, the altar is a constant reminder of the need for reverence and the sacredness of the relationship between humanity and the divine. Let’s reverence God daily through faith in Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

Beyond the Otherside

I present the same Biblical truth on this website from a different perspective. Although God’s word remains unchanged, our experiences can provide new viewpoints. Therefore, I intend to develop a series of eBooks to share my reflections with you. I have held two careers: 33 years in the Army Reserves, reaching the rank of Colonel, and 43 years in higher education as an administrator. Due to my various leadership roles, I possess a broad range of experience working with Soldiers and students of all ages. I have observed numerous incidents that I have valued over the years. Now, I am applying those experiences to Kingdom work at the OLM School of Ministry as an instructor and administrator.
