Sacrifices in the Kingdom
The Millennial Temple’s main objective will be to provide a place of worship for Israel and the Gentile nations that will be similar to, yet distinct from, that under the old Levitical system. Jews and Gentiles alike who have mortal bodies will be required to bring animal sacrifices (Isa. 56:7; 66:20–23; Jer. 33:18; Ezek. 45:13–17; Mal. 3:3–4).

When the 1000 years are finished; Satan is released and allowed to deceive the nations on the earth, Gog and Magog. It says their number is like the sand of the sea. They surround the camp of God and the saints to make war, but God destroys them. So there will be people in fleshly bodies during this time. Ezekiel is not mistaken. This is found in Revelation 20: 7-10
Collin you confuse the earthly kingdom and millinal reign with each other. Before the new heaven and new earth/new Jerusalem comes there is a reign of Christ and Jeremiah and Ezekiel both mention there will be sacrifices. In Rev. It says that in New Jerusalem there will be no temple. Two different events spaced out with two different way of doing things.
Not only does this go against the book of Hebrews but it goes against the words of Christ himself Jesus told Peter in the upper room that the words that he had spoken to them made them clean and we know that not only did his blood atone for our sin but the Bible says blessed are they who wash their robes white in the blood of the Lamb meaning they are Sanctified holy and clean so therefore this vision of Ezekiel has to be a false vision. Another point to make is that in Matthew Jesus says that he will separate the sheep from the goats when he comes back he says that the Sheep will enter eternal life and the goats will go into the Eternal Lake of Fire so that tells us right there that when he comes back to establish his Millennial Kingdom there will be no unrighteousness that dwells there. The wicked will be wiped out so there will be absolutely no reason for sin atonement. I believe its 1st Corinthians 6:19 Paul says that in the Kingdom there will be no adulterer no drunken no murderers no idolatrous no thiefs no sorcerer etc…….that will inherit the kingdom. So we know during the thousand year reign of Christ there is absolutely no sin on the Earth! how could there be? There cant be because Jesus casts the Beast and the false prophet into the Lake of Fire and the angel of the Lord binds Satan and puts him in Chains in the abyss for a thousand years. So there will be no sin because there will be no deceptionn there will absolutely not be anyone on Earth during the thousand year reign of Christ that will be contrary to the kingdom of Rightousness. Also during this Millennial Reign on the Earth it will be a time that takes place on this literal earth right here right now. The new heavens and the new earth doesn’t come until the end of the Thousand year reign in Revelation. and we know that when he establishes the new Heaven and the new Earth there will absolutely be no trace of sin or anything Unholy that dwells there. It’s really obvious to see that the prophet Ezekiel when he wrote These passages really took no thought of the Messiah reigning in Jerusalem from the temple on the Throne of David but instead had in his heart and in his mind great thoughts towards Israel and wanted to comfort the people by prophesying the establishment of a new Temple where things would go back to the way they were in the book of Leviticus. The facts are as much as I love the Lord Jesus there’s no way to reconcile these blatant obvious contradictions but it’s nice to know that the prophet Ezekiel had big thoughts and great intentions for the children of Israel but the truth is if Messiah is who he says he is He is the savior of the world and he came to take the sins away from the world so during his Millennial Reign there will absolutely be no trace of the old system involved he will sit in the Temple and reign as High Priest and King. Jesus accomplished what the old system could not do and I am forever grateful for that! I just pray that God would just keep opening up our eyes up to the truth and keep leading Us by his holy spirit each day.

I read the original Hullinger article just before finding yours here. As I’m involved with Israel, this is not a tangential subject. I’m forced to solidify my position on sacrifices in the Millennial Temple now because the building of the Third Temple is upon us in these end-times! Will this rebuilding be allowed only with a covenant with the antichrist spoken of in Daniel, or will sacrifices begin before, when we will see them?
I’m afraid there will be a furious reaction to renewed sacrifices not just from unbelievers but from unthinking Christians, as the time looms. I’ll be sharing your article!
