"You, son of man: Tell the House of Israel about the Temple. Let them see the measurements of the plan. Let them know the form of the Temple and its structure, all its forms and all its laws. Write it before their eyes, and they will guard all its forms and all its laws and do them." ( Ezekiel 43:10-11)
SECRETS OF THE FUTURE TEMPLE is the English version of Mishkney Elyon, "Dwellings of the Supreme", by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto ("RaMChaL", 1707-47), translated by Avraham Yehoshua Greenbaum. It discusses the significance of the design of the Third Temple as prophesied by Ezekiel and explains the purpose of the Temple services. This is a serious kabbalistic text that will be most meaningful to those who have a grasp of the Temple layout and services as well as some familiarity with kabbalistic concepts.
