Ezekiel — Chapter 46
Regulations for the prince's offerings at the sabbath and new moon gates; processional liturgy through the Temple courts. Lapide reads the elaborate liturgical rubrics as types of the Catholic Mass and its rubrical precision — the argument being that God's majesty demands a precisely ordered ritual worship, not spontaneous improvisation.
Verse 1
The east gate is to be opened on the Sabbath and New Moon but shut on working days: Lapide reads the Sabbath opening as a type of the Sunday Eucharistic assembly — the day when the gate of access to God through the Body and Blood of Christ stands open to the faithful.
