of his Redeemer. This measurement however gives the length as fifty cubits and the width, twenty-five cubits. Fifty being the jubilee, can also be viewed as 10x5=50, which signifies the perfection of God’s Divine order which is multiplied by His grace. In this instance, twenty-five must not be viewed as a half-way point but the self, same multiplication of God’s grace 5x5=25, which shows that man has no power to redeem his own life. The Apostle Paul wrote: “And although you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you formerly lived according to this world’s present path, according to the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the ruler of the spirit that is now energizing the sons of disobedience, among whom all of us also formerly lived out our lives in the cravings of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath even as the rest … But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, even though we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ by grace you are saved!

In this fourth and permanent temple, the Lord takes Ezekiel up seven steps, which signifies a new beginning of man’s ascension into Yeshua, as the number seven indicates his spiritual perfection and rest. Notice in these verses, Ezekiel did not ascend these steps alone, he was led by Yeshua, because man cannot attain this standard on his own. Isaiah 61:1-3 speaks of the completion of man’s perfection in Yeshua: “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day
