When the pattern is
followed, the garment will fit. Likewise, when HIS Word is
heard and heeded, our lives will be tailored to the design HE
has given. The Old Testament Tabernacle was a
precise replica of what Moses had been shown by GOD from Heaven.
No detail was overlooked, no instruction ignored, no expense
spared, and no sacrifice withheld ... thus in glorious approval
upon its completion here on Earth,
"the LORD filled the tabernacle."
In the New Testament,
the design has changed, but the demand for precision and
excellence has not: "What? know
ye not that your body is the temple of the HOLY GHOST which is
in you, which ye have of GOD, and ye are not your own? For
ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify GOD in your body,
and in your spirit, which are GOD'S." The pattern of the
new
temple was conceived by The HOLY GHOST in Mary's womb and
revealed to us over the span of 33 years.
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld
HIS glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the FATHER,)
full of grace and truth." The Blueprint is
now canonized and preserved as Scripture. We, like Moses
in the Old Testament, are commanded to build unto completion
exactly as has been shown us.
"In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of
GOD through the SPIRIT." With HIS SPIRIT
as the General Contractor on the job of your life; care in the construction
must rise to the level of care in the instruction. "...
But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For
other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is
JESUS CHRIST."
Blessed forbiddance! ...
"Moses was not able to enter ..." would to GOD that HE would so fill HIS temple
today as
to prevent our flesh all access or control. "... that
ye might be filled with all the fulness of GOD."
May the construction go forward with great care:
"Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the SON OF GOD, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fulness of CHRIST:"
Sadly, there are modern day 'Raiders of the Ark' who foolishly trudge
in with thoughts to usurp. Woe be unto that one though, who
would misuse the Blueprint that he might rob the temple.
"If any man defile the temple of GOD,
him shall GOD destroy; for the temple of GOD is holy, which
temple ye are."
