The Holy Temple- was
a way of life for so many. The Holy
Temple was built according to heavenly plans.
No human architect designed the Temple. In fact before there was a stone
structure there was a traveling Temple that moved from place to place with
God's chosen people. The Holy Temple on earth was designed according the
Heavenly Temple. Yes, there is a Temple in heaven. The Temple on earth was to be used for God's
chosen to interact with God. The design was-- in the most basic of examples-
the outer court/altar- the Holy Place- the Most Holy Place. The Heavenly Temple- the same design. Yet,
the Heavenly Temple was not built for the same daily/yearly services that the
earthly Temple was built for, the Heavenly Temple exists for the most Heavenly
of purposes- the Great High Priest, Jesus Christ Our Lord!
Why do so many not
even care about a Heavenly Temple when we know this--
Rev_3:12 Him
that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go
no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the
city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my
God: and I will write upon him my new name.
And this--
Heb 9:11 But
Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more
perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this
building;
Heb 9:12
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in
once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Heb 9:13 For
if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the
unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Heb 9:14 How
much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the
living God?
Heb 9:15 And
for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death,
for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament,
they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Heb 9:16 For
where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the
testator.
Heb 9:17 For a
testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all
while the testator liveth.
Heb 9:18
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
Heb 9:19 For
when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he
took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and
hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Heb 9:20
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto
you.
Heb 9:21
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of
the ministry.
Heb 9:22 And
almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of
blood is no remission.
Heb 9:23 It
was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be
purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices
than these.
Heb 9:24 For
Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the
figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of
God for us:
Heb 9:25 Nor
yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the
holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 For
then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now
once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself.
Heb 9:27 And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So
Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for
him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
The Heavenly Temple
is a reality, a very important reality.
More on this tomorrow by the will of God.
May we learn what we
need to know so we may ever be living for our Lord and Savior, ambassadors for Christ!
2Co_5:20 Now
then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we
pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
All through our
Lord, our Savior, now and forever!!!!!! Through the Heavenly Father and His
amazing LOVE!
