And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
One must recall that Ezekiel 40-48 is prophetic, future, and speaks of something otherworldly.[1] The prince, in the text, is I believe, symbolic of Christ. The sacrifices and offerings are representative of those Christ has performed for us on the Cross. The priests, in the New Testament and, I believe, into eternity, are all those who have been redeemed by His blood.
Now learn the lesson.
In eternity, Christ is ever-present and always in our midst. We go nowhere that He isn't with us, among us, and in our midst.
Spiritually, this is true even today. Among those of us who know Christ, we have learned to accept this as fact, and to look for Him in our midst.
· Through fires and floods,
· Over mountains and valleys,
· In trials and victories,
· At work, home, or in the house of God,
Jesus Christ, our Prince of Peace, is in our midst. When we go into the house of God, He goes in with us. When we leave the house of God for our daily duties, He goes with us.
Whether we eat or drink or whatsoever we do,[2] we must do it to the glory of God, because indeed, whatsoever we do, God is in our midst.

In Every Step: Christ's Constant Companionship
[1] The Temple measurements are such that they could not refer to any building on this earth: past, present, or future.
[2] 1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV)
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
