Ezekiel's Temple - Past, not Future

I heard a preacher say today on an internet broadcast that there are 30 or 40 Bible-Prophecies requiring a third Temple to be built; then Messiah must build a fourth Temple (Ezekiel's Temple) during the Millennium which must be twenty-something miles long.

Ezekiel's vision of the Temple included Levite priests offering burnt offerings for atonement. Therefore the vision can't have a future fulfilment - because God isn't into returning to a shadow. Ezekiel's vision therefore must have been symbolic of events which happened in Israel from the time of their return from exile up until the first-century AD, while Israel was still under the Old Covenant.
