Ezekiel Chapter 40 Vs. 38

 The Inner Court

And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering. Eze 40:38

chambers and the... These chambers were inside the inner wall and on both sides of the north gate; and there were four tables on each side where sacrifices were slain, and two tables of hewn stone on each side where the instruments were laid (Eze. 40:39-43).

Verses 38 to 47: Describes “chambers’ for the priests, and raises the question of sacrifices in the millennial kingdom. They will exist as (verses 39-43 indicate), but will be no more efficacious then than they were in Old Testament times. No sacrifice before or after Christ saves. They only point to Him as the one true Lamb who takes away sin.

The Lord’s Supper is a memorial that looks back to Calvary and in no way diminishes the cross. Israel rejected their Messiah, but when they have received Him and are in His kingdom, they will have a memorial of sacrifices that point to Him. They will have missed the memorial of the Lord’s Supper, but will then have their own memorial sacrifices for 1,000 years.

where they washed... These chambers, where the priests stayed, were near the place of the offering of the burnt offering. Each offering must be washed, before it was acceptable for sacrifice. This symbolically means that what we offer to God must be clean.

At the sides of the inner gates tables were set up for slaughtering the sacrifices.
