Summary

In scholarly debate Ezekiel’s temple is considered to be a blueprint for a new temple or a symbolic designation for the future Israel. A middle ground between these two options may be found in interpreting the vision as a spatial concept.

Visualising the Vision by Konstantin Stijkel

In Visualizing the Vision, the author presents a detailed analysis of Ezekiel’s temple vision from an architectural, linguistic, and historical approach. The study demonstrates that the vision was not meant as a building instruction, but as a sign of hope for the exiles in Babylon, showing the temple as it will be built in a distant future, when it will never again be defiled and the Glory of the Lord will return to His house forever. The author takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the description of the vision’s temple and provides architectural drawings of its possible construction, situating these within the larger framework of Ancient Near Eastern building styles.
Konstantin Stijkel, Ph.D. (2021), Protestant Theological University, is a retired town planner and nowadays a researcher of Old Testament. He has published two articles on Ezekiel in Dutch magazines (ACEBT cahier 26; Schrift 286).
