Book Description

Secrets of the Future Temple will enlighten and inspire all who seriously yearn and hope for the Temple which is destined to stand eternally in Jerusalem as the House of Prayer for All the Nations. The Bible records the prophet Ezekiel's vision of being transported to Jerusalem, where a heavenly angel showed him this Temple, giving him precise measurements of all its building, chambers, courtyards, gates and other details. The inner meaning and purpose of the Future Temple are explained in full in Mishkney Elyon, "Dwellings of the Supreme," a priceless jewel in the legacy of towering 18th century mystical genius Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzato (Ramchal, 1707-47). The Temple is the center point where all the branches of the Tree of Life connect with their roots, channeling a flow of sustenance and blessing to the entire world. Secrets of the Future Temple presents a clear English translation of this kabbalistic classic together with diagrams of the Temple and Altar and other study aids. An extensive Overview traces the Temple vision from the Founding Fathers of Judaism onwards, reviews Ramchal's life and works, and explains the central concepts of Mishkney Elyon in simple, understandable terms. Translated by Avraham Yehoshua ben Yaakov Greenbaum.
