Future animal sacrifice is described in the book of Ezekiel. Theology based on the idea of the sacrificial death of a messiah is fundamentally flawed because the righteous are not sacrificed.

The wicked [shall be] a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright.
Proverbs 21:18

The whole point of the self sacrifice of the righteous one is that He is thus able to provide atonement for the unrighteous, i.e. everyone else.

The idea is repugnant to the Torah. Death of the innocents was one of the reasons for the punishment of Israel.

Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. [Is this] of thy whoredoms a small matter,
That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through [the fire] for them?
Ezekiel 16:20-21

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
Mark 5:36 KJV

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

The description of the temple in the book of Ezekiel seems to be describing the temple that would be built to replace the one built by Solomon. This would make the instructions applicable to the rebuilding of the temple by Ezra, and would likely also apply to the Herodian upgrade.

No, Ezekiel's temple is not in Jerusalem and it is for a future time when the geography is different.

Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto YHWH, an holy portion of the land: the length [shall be] the length of five and twenty thousand [reeds], and the breadth [shall be] ten thousand. This [shall be] holy in all the borders thereof round about.
Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred [in length], with five hundred [in breadth], square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary [and] the most holy [place].
Ezekiel 45:1-3
