This idea of the holy and common still needing a separation has come up several times in Ezekiel. Today we want to eliminate the difference, but this is about the future, either during the reign of Christ or after. That means there must still even today be a distinction between the common and the holy. The idea the distinctions and differences must be eliminated from life, that lines must be blurred is a human, worldly idea. There is a push to eliminate differences between male and female, between leader and led, and between holy and common. It sounds noble, to make everyone equal, but that was never God's idea. Even when He created everything, before sin was in the world, there were still distinctions: between God and man, between man and animal, between male and female. Without distinctions, every man does what's right in his own eyes, because every person's opinion is equally valid even when diametrically opposed. To make everyone equal doesn't just dethrone human leaders, but ultimately attacks God, who is the pattern on which all human interrelation is based. There must still be a distinction between holy and common, if for no other reason than to give motive for people to attain to something higher and closer to God, to give themselves to serve Him fully rather than have competing priorities.
