The document discusses the roles of priests in ministering before God. Faithful priests like Zadok were allowed to minister in the outer court, holy place, and holy of holies. Unfaithful priests like Eli and Abiathar were confined to the outer court only. True worship requires living a holy life and being vessels prepared for noble purposes. Faithful priests will one day see God face to face in heaven.

4. MINISTERING BEFORE THE PEOPLE
Ezekiel 44:5-14
Eli and Abiathar - the unfaithful priests
- They were confined to minister only in
the Outer Court as a consequence of
their unfaithfulness.

5. MINISTERING BEFORE THE LORD
Ezekiel 44:15-16
Zadok - the faithful priest
- Ministries in the Outer Court, Holy
place and the Holy of Holies.

6. Holy of Holies
Ezekiel 44:15-16 NLT
[15] "However, the Levitical priests of the
family of Zadok continued to minister faithfully
in the Temple when Israel abandoned me for
idols. These men will serve as my ministers.
They will stand in my presence and offer the
fat and blood of the sacrifices, says the
Sovereign LORD. [16] They alone will enter
my sanctuary and approach my table to serve
me. They will fulfill all my requirements.

7. Outer Court
Ezekiel 44:19 NLT
[19] When they return to the outer courtyard
where the people are, they must take off the
clothes they wear while ministering to me.
They must leave them in the sacred rooms
and put on other clothes so they do not
endanger anyone by transmitting holiness to
them through this clothing.

8. From Outer Court to the Holiest place. From glory
to glory. From strength to strength.
2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV
[18] But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass
the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image
from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Psalm 84:5-7 KJV
[5] Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in
whose heart are the ways of them . [6] Who passing
through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also
filleth the pools. [7] They go from strength to strength,
every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

9. The faithful priests will see Him face to
face .
Revelation 22:3-4
“And there shall be no more curse: but the
throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in
it; and his servants shall serve him: And
they shall see his face; and his name shall
be in their foreheads.”

10. The Lord is their portion.
Deuteronomy 10:9 NLT
[9] That is why the Levites have no share of property or
possession of land among the other Israelite tribes.
The LORD himself is their special possession, as the
LORD your God told them.)
Psalm 73:25-26 KJV
[25] Whom have I in heaven but thee ? and there is
none upon earth that I desire beside thee. [26] My flesh
and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my
heart, and my portion for ever.

11. CARRYING THE PRESENCE OF GOD
REQUIRES PROPER ORDER.
(1 Chron.15:12-15; Deut.10:8; )
Perspiration speaks of human endeavor.
Ezekiel 44:17-18

12. TRUE WORSHIP MEANS LIVING A HOLY LIFE.
Romans 12:1-2
VESSELS OF GOD
2 Timothy 2:20-22

13. TRUE WORSHIP MEANS LIVING A HOLY LIFE.
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy,
to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and
pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Do
not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then
you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--
his good, pleasing and perfect will.

14. TRUE WORSHIP MEANS LIVING A HOLY LIFE.
VESSELS OF GOD
2 Timothy 2:20-22
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and
silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble
purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses
himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for
noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and
prepared to do any good work. Flee the evil desires of
youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and
peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a
pure heart.(NIV)

15. Lord , who shall abide in thy
tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy
hill?
– Ps.15
