Ezekiel's Temple

Ezekiel's Temple can't directly refer to the future in Israel, nor directly to Christ and His Church - because it mentions Levites and offerings. 

There can never again be a Levitical priesthood in Israel for two reasons: God already made a New Covenant, and the required genealogies are lost. 

Christ's priesthood is not after the Levitical order. Believing in Jesus wasn't designed to make a non-Levite a Levite. 

Ezekiel's vision was symbolic of the restoration of Israel from captivity to their land, to resume Levitical worship in their rebuilt Temple. 

It had to be and it was fulfilled soon afterwards, during Old Covenant times.

In that historical context, Messiah was to come to Israel.

That's one way we know Jesus is the Messiah - because after Jesus' generation circumstances changed forever in Israel. If Messiah hadn't come by then, the Messianic prophecies forever lost their chance to be fulfilled in the detail that was written.

Our faith is based on historical fact. Physical facts. In national Israel.

But if we make the prophecies to be about the future, then we lose our basis for asserting that Jesus was Israel's promised Messiah.

Or it could even wrongly imply that Judaism must again be in our future.
