Of Temples (20.7.16)

“The second temple had its time expire upon My rising from the grave.

The second temple’s fate was sealed upon the renting of the curtain in the Holy of Holies,

                                           for it was then that was witnessed the transference of the presence of God—

                                                                       from the temple built by man to the temples built by God.

     For the day of Pentecost would follow in its path.

     For the day of Pentecost would usher in the era where the heart of man would become the dwelling place of my presence.

     For the day of Pentecost would announce the new locations of the temples of God wherein My Spirit
                                                                                         would be seen to dwell,

                                                                                                                     would My counsel be forth coming,

                                                                                                                     would My gifts be presented for acceptance,

                                                                                                                     would the pathway to My presence be ensured by faith
                                                                                                                                       with grace in leading My people back:

                                                                                                                                           to the source of eternal wisdom,

                                                                                                                                                     of eternal light,

                                                                                                                                                     of eternal life.

The second temple’s fate was aligned with the promise made to Abraham with his descendants,

                                         was taken down and scattered within the will of God,

                                         has already been rebuilt in many different locations from where My Spirit dwells,

                                                                                                                            from where the living water flows,

                                                                                                                            from where My gifts are evidenced,

                                                                                                                            from where salvation’s message is proclaimed,

                                                                                                                            from where faith flows forth as a mighty river
                                                                                                                                                          with rivulets galore:

                                                                                                as grace abounds to cleanse and inundate both sides of all the banks.

The second temple’s fate was shattered into splinters,

                                                                   had fulfilled its purpose,

                                                                   was about to be surpassed,

                                                                   was not able to equip the coming saints of God,

                                                                   was not able to complete the presence of God among His people,

                                                                   was not part of the fulfilment of the inheritance of the cross,

                                                                   was not able to make the switch from the edifice of law to the field of grace.

So the Ark of the Covenant had a new covenant to embrace,

                                                    a new covenant to uphold,

                                                    a new covenant to honour and protect—

                                                           within the life of My people with their destiny of choice—

                                                                                            with the tools of God available—

                                                                 so all may be able to find their way home to dwell within the family of God.”
