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.
