Do we know who the prince is in Ezekiel 45? There will be a prince, but the Lord Jesus will be the King, correct?
Ezekiel 45:7, 16-17, 22
And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel. And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.
It's David! Israel's King David will be resurrected in that earthly kingdom and he will sit as our Lord Jesus Christ's "prince" in that day! We know this because God already told us that earlier in chapters 34 and 37.
Ezekiel 34:24; 37:25
And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt ; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
Hopefully this helps!
