Old Testament Lesson 44 "Every Thing Shall Live Wither the River Cometh"
Ezekiel 43-44; 47
43:2 Establishes this is a vision, sees the God of Israel in glory
43:4 Vision of the Lord entering the Temple in Jerusalem after triumphal return in glory
43:7-9 The Lord is with them Forever more
43:10-12 Establish the pattern of the ordinances
43:13-17 Altar is 23' high, 38' across
43:18-27 Animal Sacrifice on the Altar in the last days
44:1-3 Only the Prince and the Lord use the East Gate
44:5-8 Letting strangers into the temple was a sin
44:9 No more strangers in the temple
44:10-14 Levites who ministered to idols cannot offer sacrifices, but will be temple administration
44:15-16 Faithful priests are to perform ordinances
44:17-19 Manner of dress for performing ordinances
44:20-23 Priests should not shave heads (in mourning) or tear their cloths or drink wine in the inner court
44:22 Priests should only marry virgins or widows of other priests
44:23-24 Teach the people and judge the people
44:25 Priests shall not attend funerals except for immediate family
44:28-31 Priests do not have land set aside for them; they eat the sacrifices
47:1 River coming from the temple
47:2-5 Measure the river
47:7-10 The River heals the Dead Sea and everywhere it goes
47:12 Miracle trees with 12 fruits (one per month) and leaves of medicine
47:13-23 How the land is divided

Is it just me, or is the Gospel Doctrine manual focused entirely on the symbolism and ignoring the actual physical fulfillment of this prophecy?
