One of the Old Testament's most enigmatic prophecies is Ezekiel's vision of a new, restored temple in Jerusalem. Some dismiss the notion of a rebuilt temple as irrelevant to both the Christian faith and the modern world. But what if Ezekiel's prophecies are true? What would a restored temple be like? How would it operate? And when might it be built? These and many other intriguing questions are answered in this newly updated and expanded work based on extensive research and discussions with leading Jewish leaders and rabbis in the United States and Israel. This work provides the most accurate and complete description currently available of the future center of worship during the coming messianic kingdom. Along with clear and sound biblical interpretation of the key prophecies of Ezekiel regarding Messiah's coming temple, the work includes photos and descriptions based on a unique and detailed three-dimensional model of the future temple constructed by author John Schmitt.

Jesus came to give us life.Jesus called twelve men to be His disciples, but three fishermen–Peter, James, and John–shared a special relationship with Him. They were given direct access to some of the more pivotal events in Jesus’ ministry, such as the transfiguration, His raising of Lazarus from the dead, and His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. John’s account thus gives us a unique glimpse from one of Jesus’ closest disciples into the significance of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. John reveals how Jesus came to provide “living water” to quench our deep spiritual thirst for the things of God. He shows how Jesus is the “bread of life” who satisfies our deep spiritual hunger. And he reveals how Jesus is the only way we can obtain that living water and bread of life, for “no one comes to the Father” except through Him.The Jeremiah Bible Study Series captures Dr. David Jeremiah’s forty-plus years of commitment to teaching the Word of God.

Along the way, you will gain insights into the text, identify key stories and themes, and be challenged to apply the truth you find in your life.
