Worship In The Age To Come

This series invites us to imagine the glory of the Kingdom Age and the worship that will take place in the temple described by Ezekiel. With careful attention to prophecy and practical application, Brother John Siviour guides us through the visions of God’s house, showing how they shape our present discipleship and point us toward our eternal hope. Each class unfolds a different aspect of temple worship, helping us see ourselves as part of God’s great purpose.

A Citizen of Zion

The opening study reminds us of the character required to dwell in God’s holy hill. Drawing on Psalm 15 and Ezekiel’s visions, it emphasizes that those who walk uprightly, speak truth, and live righteously will stand in the temple of the age to come. We are called to see ourselves as future citizens of Zion, preparing now for our place in God’s house.

The Frame of a City Upon God’s Holy Mount

Ezekiel was shown the temple as the frame of a city, a fortress-like structure elevated by God’s power. This vision helps us appreciate both the grandeur and the detail of the house of prayer for all nations. It is a call to look with our eyes, hear with our ears, and set our hearts upon the vision of the Kingdom, so that it may inspire our walk today.

The Measuring of the Temple

Every part of Ezekiel’s temple was carefully measured, symbolizing how God’s people will be fitted together stone by stone. From the palm trees of victory to the pavement of live coals that speak of cleansing and holiness, this study shows that each detail carries a spiritual lesson. We too are being measured now, prepared for a place in God’s spiritual house.

Walk About Zion and Go Round About Her

As Ezekiel’s tour continued, he was shown the inner courts and the great circular buildings, sealed with living wood and filled with greenery. These images anticipate the Feast of Tabernacles in the Kingdom, when all nations will gather to worship. The prophet’s vision reminds us that the labor of discipleship will end, and the joy of living fellowship with God will begin.

The Prince and His Associates

In one of the most moving visions, Ezekiel is introduced to the Prince—Christ himself—who will sit in the temple, share his inheritance with his sons, and lead the worship of the nations. This class highlights how the Prince will fulfill God’s promises to Abraham and David, and how we, as his seed, are invited to share in his glory.

Changes in the Land of Israel

The final study looks at the dramatic transformations that will occur in the land to prepare for the temple’s construction. Earthquakes will reshape Jerusalem, nations will contribute their wealth and labor, and Christ as the Branch will oversee the building. These prophecies assure us that God’s plan is certain, and they inspire us to live in hope of the day when worship in the age to come becomes reality.
