Ezekiel Chapter 45 Vs. 7-8


The Land of the Temple Priests



Ezekiel 45:7-8


This square of land, 8.3 miles in each of its four dimensions, will be located at the present site of Jerusalem. A band of land will extend from the city to the east and west. The prince (i.e., David; Eze. 34:24) will have the land bordering each side of the area formed by the sacred district and the property of the city. This strip of land will extend on the east to the Jordan River and on the west to the Mediterranean Sea.
This "prince" is speaking of the leader in the land, whoever he might be. This administrator of the kingdom under Christ will have his territory in two parts, one the West and the other to the East of the temple/priest and city portions.
My princes shall no more oppress”: God pledges a kingdom era free from civil leaders selfishly taking advantage of the people, such as seizing their land. The princes most likely are the leaders of each tribe. No one will be deprived of his possession under Messiah’s rule.
