The Holy District

1 “Moreover, when you adivide the land by lot into inheritance, you shall bset apart a district for the Lord, a holy section of the land; its length shall be twenty-five thousand cubits, and the width ten thousand. It shall be holy throughout its territory all around.  
2 Of this there shall be a square plot for the sanctuary, afive hundred by five hundred rods, with fifty cubits around it for an open space.  
3 So this is the district you shall measure: twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide; ain it shall be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.  
4 It shall be aa holy section of the land, belonging to the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to minister to the Lord; it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.

Ezekiel 45:1-25

- In the period here foretold, the worship and the ministers of God will be provided for; the princes will rule with justice, as holding their power under Christ; the people will live in peace, ease, and godliness. These things seem to be represented in language taken from the customs of the times in which the prophet wrote. Christ is our Passover that is sacrificed for us: we celebrate the memorial of that sacrifice, and feast upon it, triumphing in our deliverance out of the Egyptian slavery of sin, and our preservation from the destroying sword of Divine justice, in the Lord's supper, which is our passover feast; as the whole Christian life is, and must be, the feast of the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
