Karl Randolph asked:
Has anyone made a model of the temple as described in these last
chapters of Ezekiel?
I write:
There is this model (with some unusual commentary) which I remembered
Stephen Cook linking to on his blog last year:

Karl asks:
How closely did those who worked on Harod's rebuilding of the temple
follow those plans?
I write:
Apparently not at all, as the plans are quite different. The Herodian
temple complex lacks the symmetry of Ezekiel's plan. But the complex
described in the Qumran Temple Scroll appears to have been largely
based on the Ezekiel Temple plan, with some interesting differences.
Yigael Yadin's _The Temple Scroll_ (both editions: the complete
3-volume set and the single volume popularization/abridgement) include
very nice drawings of the Temple Scroll's temple complex.
