The reading of Ezekiel 42-46 shows that during the millennium there will be all the principal offerings that were introduced in the Levitical system, namely, the burnt offering, the oblation, the peace offering, the sin and trespass offerings, and the drink offering. In the coming day the sacrifices will look back on the life and death of Christ in this world, whereas the sacrifices of the Levitical system looked forward to the coming and sacrificial work of Jesus.
The same chapters also show the feasts that will be celebrated. Omitted will be four of the feasts of Leviticus 23, namely the sheaf of firstfruits, the new meat offering the blowing of trumpets and the day of atonement.
There is a divine order in the feasts of Leviticus 23, the Sabbath looking forward to the rest of God, and the Passover to the death of Christ. The offering of the sheaf of firstfruits has been fulfilled in the resurrection of Christ, and the risen Christ will be in the presence of His people in the millennium. The new meat offering foreshadowed the coming into existence of the Church of God, which has its place in heaven, not on earth, in the coming day.
Israel's regathering to the land will have been already fulfilled in the blowing of trumpets, even as spoken of by the Lord in Matthew 24:31, "And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." The day of atonement, which followed, on the tenth day of the seventh month, covered a much wider field than the blessing of Israel; it laid the basis in redemption for the blessing of all who shall be blessed of God whether in heaven or on earth. In regard to Israel, the day of atonement also looked forward to the day when the nation would repent on seeing the marks of the wounds in the hands of Messiah (Zech. 12:10-14; Zech. 13:6).
On the fourteenth day of the first month the passover will be celebrated, for on its institution the Lord said, "Ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever" (Ex. 12:14). God will ever have His earthly people to realise that He delivered them from the bondage of Egypt to bring them to Himself, and into the land they will then occupy in His sovereign goodness under the new covenant. The feast of tabernacles will also be celebrated as of yore, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the people then enjoying all that was looked forward to in this joyful feast.
On the Sabbath day, which celebrated God's rest, and into which now His earthly people shall have been brought (Heb. 4:1-9), there will be sacrifices and worship to God (Ezek. 46:1-5); and the daily sacrifice will only be a morning sacrifice, for the dark night of Israel's distance from God will be for ever gone, and they will morning by morning keep the sweet fragrance of Christ as the Lamb of God, the true Burnt offering, ever before Him.
There will be a special ordinance when the new order is introduced, in the day when the altar is made and sprinkled with blood. Sacrifices will be offered on the altar for seven days, the blood being put on the four horns, the four corners of the settle [ledge], and upon the border round about (Ezek. 43:20-26). Atonement for the house will be made on the first of the first month and the first of the seventh month (Ezek. 45:18-20); and on the new moons the prince will offer his offerings, and with the people shall worship the Lord (Ezek. 46:2-7).
While the earthly people worship the Lord in the promised land, the heavenly saints will praise and worship God and the Lamb before the throne in heaven (Rev. 4:10; Rev. 5:9-10, 14).
The nations of the earth will also pay tribute to the Lord, coming up to Jerusalem, God's earthly centre of worship and government, even as it is written, "all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the praises of the Lord. And the flocks of Kedar … the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar" (Isa. 60:1-7). Worship at Jerusalem on the feast of tabernacles will be obligatory for the nations who have been spared the judgments of God (Zech. 14:16-19).
