21 ^aNo priest shall drink wine when he enters the inner court.

22 They shall not take as wife a ^awidow or a divorced woman, but take virgins of the descendants of the house of Israel, or widows of priests.

23 “And ^athey shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy, and cause them to ^bdiscern between the unclean and the clean.

24 ^aIn controversy they shall stand as judges, and judge it according to My judgments. They shall keep My laws and My statutes in all My appointed meetings, ^band they shall hallow My Sabbaths.

What Does Ezekiel 44:23 Mean?

Ezekiel 44:23

In the Millennium, when God's Kingdom is reigning on earth, the priesthood will teach the difference between clean and unclean! And after the thousand years, no abominable thing, nothing that defiles will mar the New Jerusalem! All of its citizens will be holy. This is the wonderful destiny that we are preparing for, and part of making ourselves ready is following the law of clean and unclean meats.
