Tabernacle in the Wilderness the Habitation of God
The Tabernacle of Moses is one of the most important subjects in the Word of God. It is not a topic to be taken lightly. God gave his oracles unto the Jews that were of great advantage unto the Jews. (Rom 3:1 KJV) WHAT ADVANTAGE then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? (Rom 3:2) MUCH EVERY WAY: chiefly, because that UNTO THEM WERE COMMITTED THE ORACLES OF GOD. Jesus sat down his disciples and taught them the oracles of God starting with Moses and the law. Because many so-called apostles, teachers, evangelists, prophets and pastors of the new covenant church of today do not know these basic truths of God; these men are on spiritual milk and unable to eat the spiritual meat that they should be feeding upon.
These studies are going to be of great value to all of us. They are studies of major value and importance in our Christian walk with God. They bring a greater understanding of the body of Christ Jesus and how that one body of Jesus Christ is suppose to operate and function.
We have knowledge that forty-three chapters in the word of God are filled with the teachings that revolve around the Tabernacle of Moses. By the shear knowledge of the amount of information concerning the Tabernacle of Moses we realize its importance as a schoolmaster to bring us to the Revelation of Jesus Christ and the oneness of the church.
No other topic is talked about in the scriptures more than the Tabernacle in the wilderness, but we know it all reveals Jesus unto us. (John 5:39 KJV) SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and THEY ARE THEY, WHICH TESTIFY OF ME.
Much of the book of Hebrews is written around the theme of the Tabernacle of Moses. This teaches us that the Tabernacle of Moses was a pattern, a visual aid as it were of spiritual things. The book of Revelation speaks of the furniture in the Tabernacle. It is not possible to understand the book of Revelation without a working knowledge of the Tabernacle.
In your readings of the book of Revelation you find altars, the ark and the candlestick. The book of Revelation has been written to the people of God who should know about the oracles of God consisting of the types and shadows of Christ. The oracles of God were given to us through the Old Testament in order that the church may be able to comprehend what are the breadth, length, depth, and height of the oneness of God through the full knowledge of the oneness of the Son of God, which is the completed church. The patterns or types and shadows that are in the Old Testament are physical, visual aids of spiritual truths. The Tabernacle of Moses is a very strong and precise picture of spiritual things. Our intentions, through Christ Jesus, will be to take each truth and get the spiritual knowledge that Christ intended it to reveal unto the body of God.
We will start with these verses: (Exo 24:15 KJV) And Moses WENT UP INTO THE MOUNT, and A CLOUD COVERED THE MOUNT. (Exo 24:16 KJV) Now the GLORY OF THE LORD RESTED ON MOUNT SINAI, and the CLOUD COVERED IT SIX DAYS. And on the SEVENTH DAY HE CALLED TO MOSES OUT OF THE MIDST OF THE CLOUD. (Exo 24:17 KJV) The sight of the GLORY OF THE LORD WAS LIKE A CONSUMING FIRE on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. (Exo 24:18 KJV) So Moses WENT INTO THE MIDST OF THE CLOUD and went up into the mountain. And Moses was ON THE MOUNTAIN FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS.
Just about everybody knows that Moses was forty days and forty nights in the company of God. What really happened in those forty days is what should be of interest to the body of God. Many do not think on these things nor try and find out through the study of the word the depth of the events of the Old Testament; therefore there is a lack of knowledge concerning these happenings.
The Lord during this forty-day period on Mount Sinai gave Moses the pattern of the Tabernacle along with the law. More than just the law was given unto Moses during the forty days that Moses spent in the Mount of Sinai. The twenty-fifth chapter of Exodus unto the thirtieth chapter of Exodus gives us the details of this event. God gave Moses the pattern for his house or the church of the living God. God wanted to dwell among his people. In the twenty-fifth chapter of Exodus in the eighth verse it states: And let them make ME A SANCTUARY that I may dwell among them. God wanted a house where he could dwell among his people so God gave them the instructions to build the tabernacle.
God conveyed unto Moses the pattern of the tabernacle that the children of Israel were to receive. This pattern would be the schoolmaster that would bring the one body of God unto the knowledge of Jesus Christ and the knowledge of the one Son and one body of that son. (Exodus 25:40) And see to it that you make them according to the PATTERN, which was SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN. There was a pattern that was not to be changed for the construction, a pattern for the different compartments, and a pattern for all of the furniture. Everything was to be made according to the pattern. Not one single thing was to be changed or made by Moses that would change God's pattern or plan.
When we look in the New Testament we see that the Church is being built today in the Spirit by the same pattern that was given unto Moses. This statement is proven by what is taught and stated in the New Testament in the eighth chapter of Hebrews. We learn from Hebrews that the Tabernacle represented heavenly things and was the visual picture of God's dwelling place. The understanding of the natural realm always comes first and from the understanding of the natural things the spiritual things of God are understood. (1 Cor 15:46 KJV) Howbeit that was NOT FIRST WHICH IS SPIRITUAL, but THAT WHICH IS NATURAL; and AFTERWARD THAT WHICH IS SPIRITUAL. Everything that we are going to study about the tabernacle, in the natural will give us a picture of something true in the spiritual.
These studies will help us see that the doctrines that teach the dualism of the Godhead and that teach Trinity theology are in error. These studies will reveal that the division of the one body of God, the one seed of God, the one bride of God, the one Son of God, and that the division of the one church of God is also in error. These studies will prove that the Old Testament saints and the New Testament saints are all the one church and one body of Jesus Christ. This oneness doctrine is the true oneness faith that is taught in the word of God.
Understand that heavenly things or spiritual things are not to be comprehended as a far distant place or that Jesus lives in a heaven that is million or billions of miles away. The kingdom of God has come and Jesus Christ being the Holy Ghost and the father of us all is living within us. We live in the spirit and become the bones, flesh, and mind of Christ Jesus here on earth. We bring the word being the spiritual priest and instructors of the spiritual things of God here on earth. We are dwelling in, living in, and performing the spiritual acts of the priesthood everyday. Presently we are seated together in heaven with Christ. (Eph 2:6 KJV) And hath raised us up together, and MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus.
How can I be in this physical body of flesh and be seated with Jesus Christ in heavenly places ruling with him? I am in this world but I am not of this world. My citizenship is in heaven where we rule and reign with him as the one body of Christ. We are set over our spiritual house and over our wives and children ruling through Christ Jesus over the sin that would kill. (1 Tim 3:5 KJV) For if a man KNOW NOT HOW TO RULE HIS OWN HOUSE, how shall he TAKE CARE OF THE CHURCH OF GOD? We are judges and judgment starts at the house of God. (1 Cor 2:15 KJV) But HE THAT IS SPIRITUAL JUDGETH ALL THINGS, yet he himself is judged of no man.
We are of the body of Christ now being anointed through the Holy Ghost being the one collective body of the one Son of God that rules over sin here on earth. We, the church, have become the covering cherub that the first Adam once was. Adam was placed over everything that was in heaven, the paradise of God, and was only second to God. We bind the powers of Satan, the old man, in heaven, the church, or in the paradise of God ruling what takes place in heaven. (Mat 16:19 KJV) And I will give unto thee the KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN: and WHATSOEVER THOU SHALT BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN: and WHATSOEVER THOU SHALT LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN. We do these things now as the church always has.
(Eph 2:19 KJV) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but FELLOW CITIZENS WITH THE SAINTS, and of THE HOUSEHOLD OF GOD; (Eph 2:20 KJV) And are BUILT UPON THE FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, Jesus Christ himself being THE CHIEF CORNER STONE. The church started when this first stone was laid. This stone was laid in the beginning from the foundation of the world. This stone is God our beloved Jesus Christ that spoke the universe into existence. This stone is the spirit of God not the natural flesh of the son or of man. Col 1:18 KJV) And he is the head of the body, the church: WHO IS THE BEGINNING, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. This is why we know that the one church started in the beginning from the very foundations of the earth. If you believe that Jesus is God you then realize that the cornerstone was from the beginning being God. This is part of the revelation of the oneness of God that will be revealed through the study of the tabernacle of Moses.
We are born again into the kingdom of God, we sit in heavenly places, the holiest of all is within us, and we have become a member of the body of the one Son of God. So when we are looking at physical pictures of spiritual truths, we need to realize that the physical tabernacle of Moses that was built in the wilderness was a pattern of God's spiritual building or his people, which we are! We are the son and body of Jesus Christ the church that is walking here upon the earth. How many of you know that we are the spiritual house of God? And that house is one house without any division whatsoever. God lives not in a building made with hands of natural flesh or that is made out of mortar and brick, but God lives in his people, which have become his habitation.
You cannot divide the word; if you do you divide Christ Jesus, the body, and the one Son of God. It was the word (CHRIST) that was given to us from the mouths of the prophets of old. (2 Pet 1:21 KJV) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST. This same word became flesh and was born of a virgin becoming the very image of God manifested in the flesh unto the world. That manifestation is still being displayed through his body, as we become members of his body, the word regenerates us and we become bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh.
When we study the Tabernacle of Moses that was made in the physical, we see types and shadows and real spiritual truths of what is true of us as the habitation and the spiritual temple of God. We realize the house of God is not of the carnal religious traditions of men. We can tell which ones have the spiritual revelation of God by where they are living in the spiritual realm. It is easy to distinguish whether people are caught up in man's tradition and their carnal minds by the way that they discern the spiritual truths of scripture.
The more traditions of men, the less oneness of God that we see, and the more that we follow the rudiments of this world reveals that we do not have our senses fully exercised to understand the oracles of God that was given unto the prophets of old. When we do not have the understanding of the oracles of God we live in a lower dimension of spiritual revelation and have need of milk and not meat. (Heb 5:12 KJV) For when for the time ye OUGHT TO BE TEACHERS, ye have NEED THAT ONE TEACH YOU AGAIN which be the FIRST PRINCIPLES OF THE ORACLES OF GOD; and are BECOME SUCH AS HAVE NEED OF MILK, and NOT OF STRONG MEAT.
We need to be established in the types and the shadows of the oracles of God. These truths were among the first things that Jesus taught the disciples. Because we do not know the oracles of God many of us are still influenced by the teachings of false prophets, which deceive us as to what the true depth of the oneness of God is in every aspect of God. (Luke 24:27 KJV) And BEGINNING AT MOSES and all THE PROPHETS, HE EXPOUNDED UNTO THEM IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES the THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF. Jesus expounded in all of the scriptures of old the things concerning himself, which is what needs to be done today.
(Acts 7:38 KJV) This is HE, THAT WAS IN THE CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS with the angel which SPAKE TO HIM IN THE MOUNT SINA, and with OUR FATHERS: who RECEIVED THE LIVELY ORACLES TO GIVE UNTO US. This verse plainly states: that he (JESUS) was in the church in the wilderness, not a different church, but the one church of God.
The oracles of God was given to us through the prophets of old so that all of the body of Christ or Son of God could be perfected and completed by understanding the pattern of the tabernacle of Moses. The prophets of old without us are not perfected or completed neither are we complete or perfected without part of the foundation that are the prophets of old, which we are built upon. (Heb 11:40 KJV) God having provided some BETTER THING FOR US, that THEY WITHOUT US SHOULD NOT BE MADE PERFECT. They are perfected and completed through the same body, the same God, and the same Jesus Christ as we are, which is the one body of the Son of God.
The house that God is building is for him to live in. Jesus, the one God, lives in his people and fills them with his spirit the Holy Ghost. Each and every one of us is a stone in that one habitation or building of God. We are one building just as we are that one body of the Son of God that is made up of many members. We, the church, are one with God being that virgin woman of revelation, the bride of Christ Jesus, which brings forth the Son of God, but that woman came forth from the side of the man Jesus Messiah.
We are a collective unit made up of all of the saints of the old covenant and the new covenant that have been bridged together by God, Jesus Christ, or that one spirit of the Holy Ghost to become the one church, habitation, or dwelling place of the living God of Israel the one nation of God. (Eph 2:21 KJV) In whom all the building FITLY FRAMED TOGETHER GROWETH unto an HOLY TEMPLE IN THE LORD. The temple of God is still growing and enlarging itself.
The natural Israel after the flesh of ungodly ways was given a bill of divorcement, not the spiritual Israel of God that consist of all of the saints of God. By flesh we are gentiles and have no part in the Kingdom of God but through spiritual adoptions we become Jews. (Rom 2:29 KJV) BUT HE IS A JEW, which is ONE INWARDLY; and CIRCUMCISION IS THAT OF THE HEART, in THE SPIRIT, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Ones who think that Jesus our Lord ever divorced the saints of old that were filled with the Holy Ghost have not rightly divided the word. Israel after the flesh of the carnal mind was given a bill of divorcement and has become spiritual gentiles; therefore the gentiles who have become spiritual Jews have replaced them. The spiritual gentile branches that are Jews in the flesh have been broken off and we the spiritual Jews that are gentiles in the flesh have been grafted into that one tree of life, which is Jesus Christ. (Rev 2:9 KJV) I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them, WHICH SAY THEY ARE JEWS, AND ARE NOT, but ARE THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN. (Rev 3:9 KJV) Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which SAY THEY ARE JEWS, AND ARE NOT, BUT DO LIE; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Replacement theology that teaches we have replaced all of Israel including the spiritual branches, which consist of the prophets of old, have missed the mark and do not understand the oracles of God. These men have no understanding of the oracles of God and the types and shadows of the Tabernacle. They do not have the revelation of Jesus Christ and the full oneness of God.
God is building a house for himself to live in, but what tremendous blessings we receive because he lives within us. Jesus lives within us and gives us gifts of the spirit. These gifts are blessing of joy and are unspeakable and full of glory.
But there is more to life then just being blessed and receiving gifts. There comes a time when the gifts that you have been so excited about receiving give way to a hunger to know the giver your husband Jesus Christ. When Abraham's servant was drawing the bride, Rebecca to Isaac, she was drawn unto him through the gifts that he brought her. Abraham's servant was repeating all of the time that these gifts were of Isaac. Rebecca received raiment, jewels of gold and jewels of silver, distinctive of all the gifts that the church is receiving while we are being drawn to Christ. The gifts were not the ultimate objective. The gifts were used to articulate what would happen to her when she got to Isaac her husband. The gifts were of Isaac but they were not Isaac himself just as the gifts of the spirit can be signs of the Holy Ghost, but are not the Holy Ghost within themselves, because Satan has the same signs and gifts.
I have a hunger to know King Jesus because I love him more than the treasures and gifts of this world. The church is still growing and it is in various stages of spiritual development. Some have never tasted of the new wine of Pentecost, but once we have tasted the wine we must want the King more than the wine. (Song 1:4 KJV) Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, WE WILL REMEMBER THY LOVE MORE THAN WINE: the upright love thee.
And there are some who are very satisfied with just tasting of the new wine of Pentecost. Some are only interested in the gifts, and the blessings of God. It is the same spirit of Christmas that promotes the receiving of gifts and has nothing to do with knowing Jesus Christ in his power.
Praise God! There are others who have tasted of this new wine and allows the gifts or blessings make them crave and starve to know the Lord and savior Jesus Christ in a deeper way. I have tasted of that new wine and of that spirit and now crave to become one with my husband fully knowing him in every way. I am hungry for a deeper more intimate relationship with the King my husband. I pray that all can relate to what is being said and have that same desire.
This is why we need to allow the spirit of God to teach us and draw us into that deeper relationship with God until we come to the full stature of Christ Jesus. (Eph 4:13 KJV) 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. The knowledge of the Son of God is knowing that the Son of God is one body made up of many members and that the body is unified in faith having the same mind of Christ. The stature of the fullness of Christ consists of the body of Christ being the one Son of God, which is all of the saints in heaven and in earth that rules the kingdom of God.
The Church of Jesus Christ is being brought today to a place where the very manifested presence of God can be brought into its fullness. We are his habitation and his place of abiding. What keeps ones from coming into this awareness of his presence? It is false doctrine, lack of knowledge, and spiritual battles that keeps God's people out of hearing distance.
Can you see the building that we are growing into? The building and the habitation of God is a growing entity, body, and unit. The habitation grows unto a holy temple in the Lord becoming the one body and Son of God that the Holy Ghost our father lives in. We are growing into the temple or body of God; remember that we are not going to the temple or church we are the church that is still growing. We are becoming the completed house and upon the completion of that house the Son-Ship of God will end and God will become all in all.
The building is still under construction. When Jesus said: (Mat 16:18 KJV) And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The rock is the revelation of who Jesus Christ is: the Holy Ghost or our father must reveal unto us who the son is. (Mat 16:15 KJV) He saith unto them, But WHOM SAY YE THAT I AM? (Mat 16:16 KJV) And Simon Peter answered and said, THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. (Mat 16:17 KJV) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for FLESH AND BLOOD HATH NOT REVEALED IT UNTO THEE, but MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
The book of Revelation is the revelation of Jesus Christ, the completed body, the fullness of Christ, and Son-Ship of God. Jesus being God is the head of this body and we being the members of the body of God have the prophecy of the book of Revelation take place in us, the church. It is not the end time carnal natural events that all men who do not have the revelation of Jesus Christ are preaching. As all false prophets in the word of God agreed having the same message for their day so does the prophecy of the false prophets of today agree in their carnality.
Just as Jesus told Peter that he was blessed because he had received the revelation from the Holy Ghost as to whom he was; Revelation tells us that we are blessed because we receive the same revelation that Peter received. Every single saint that has read and kept the prophecy of the Book of Revelation has been blessed all down through time.
We, the saints, know and keep the revelation of Jesus Christ. We do this because we are one with Jesus being the body and Son of God. (Rev 1:3 KJV) BLESSED IS HE THAT READETH, and they that HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY, and KEEP THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN THEREIN: for the time is at hand. You are not blessed because you read the book of Revelation, but you are blessed because you HEAR THE WORDS AND KEEP THE PROPHECY of that book. By hearing and keeping the prophesy of the revelation of Jesus Christ you do the will of your heavenly father and perform his works and not the works of the flesh.
There are many members but only one body and habitation of God, which is the tabernacle of God. This is the lesson that we learn from the oracles of God by studying the pattern of the Tabernacle of Moses. (Eph 2:22 KJV) In whom ye also are BUILDED TOGETHER for a HABITATION OF GOD THROUGH THE SPIRIT. We want to put special emphasis on the fact that it states we are built together as one building, which simple means we are one body, and one son. God's dwelling place is in his one son, the church.
We are going to take a journey through the Word of God and find a pattern for Gods house, Gods dwelling place, and Gods temple. (1 Chr 17:5 KJV) For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have GONE FROM TENT TO TENT, and FROM ONE TABERNACLE TO ANOTHER. With this verse starts the prophecy that God will have a house and his son, the Messiah, the Son of God, will build that house.
Lets look at the tents or the tabernacle and see if we can see a pattern. The purpose of God in this hour is so important. We have to know what the Lord is doing by the SPIRIT and not essentially by what most of the church is saying today from the understandings of carnal knowledge. God has always done most of his works without the knowledge of the majority of the people being aware of it. Religious people have been caught most of the time off guard when God moves.
Israel many times, as a whole, was thinking one way when God definitely was thinking another. Only a few of the prophets or seers knew what God really was doing and what he was going to do. Israel did not listen to the prophets and the majority that was looking for Jesus, the Messiah, to come missed the event all together. The natural nation of Israel is still looking for the Messiah to come. These are blind and although the law and the prophets was given unto them they never understood and still do not understand the oracles of God. Although the word of God was made flesh and dwelled among them being the Messiah they missed him. (John 8:19 KJV) Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, YE NEITHER KNOW ME, NOR MY FATHER: if ye HAD KNOWN ME, ye SHOULD HAVE KNOWN MY FATHER ALSO.
Everyone thought that they knew how he was coming and what he was going to do. They thought that his kingdom would be of this world because they were not lead by the spirit. They disregarded the words of the men of God that knew. All of the religious leaders and prominent people agreed. There was only one prophet that was crying in the wilderness prepare ye the way of the Lord. Does all of this sound familiar to us?
John the Baptist was preaching another message that was not popular and it surely was not agreeing with the majority of the so-called men of God. We that have the message of today from God are not being heard and the majority is overlooking the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Another transition is about to take place and it is an important one. History always has repeated itself and kingdoms have risen and have fallen. According to the word of God there will be a man that will deceive the whole world and the countries, religions, and peoples of the world are coming together at a fast rate. Everyone believes they are aware of the Anti-Christ and the mark of the beast, but are ignorant to world historical events, and the truths of the book of Revelation.
All of the prominent people of today have it all figured out just as Israel had the coming of the Messiah all figured out. As it was then it is now and most people are wrong about how the end time events will transpire. Why, because most people are not flexible to what the Spirit is saying to the church. How do we know what God is going to do? There are patterns all the way through the word of God that shows us God's plan and all we have to do is discern it through the spirit and become seers that see what the seers of old saw. We must understand the oracles of God that was given so that we can see what God's plan is for the habitation that he is building.
Go to the word of God that was wrote for us, wrote to us and seek the direction of the Holy Ghost. It is a promise from the Lord that we will find his way and his plan for us. If we have eyes to see there are pictures, in the word of God, that are maps to show us the way. The true prophets and children of God call these maps patterns that are symbolic but they can be seen and read by the seers or God's prophets of today.
God's first dwelling place was a man named Adam. God formed him from the dust of the earth, breathed into his nostrils and Adam became a living soul. God placed life into this man or part of himself, because only God is life. (John 6:35 KJV) And Jesus said unto them, I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Jesus our God is the tree of life that all must eat from in order to live. There is only life in Christ Jesus.
Genesis is a great book of spiritual truths. Through the understanding of the creation we understand the Godhead and the oneness of God. (Rom 1:20 KJV) For the INVISIBLE THINGS of him FROM THE CREATION OF THE WORLD ARE CLEARLY SEEN, being UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT ARE MADE, even his ETERNAL POWER AND GODHEAD; so that they are without excuse:
The first teachings of any subject is of major importance because it reveals the basic foundation for the truth of that subject to stand upon. If you learn math you should learn the tables of math, if you learn to read or spell, the phonics should be learned. Our educational system is in great shambles because the foundations of subjects are not laid by being learned.
Let us examine the basic facts of what we learn from Genesis about where God wanted to dwell. Adam was created in the likeness of God and had no sin. God walked in the midst of the garden as he also walks in the midst of the church. God had communion with Adam walking and talking with him. God's first desire has always been to live in the midst of man and to dwell there. God has always wanted man to be his habitation and his tabernacle. This is a fact since God is God and the creator; the Lord gets what he wants.
We will find that Genesis is the first book in the word that becomes the last and that the book of Revelation will become first. Going to revelation we find the garden, paradise, and the tree of life, which is Jesus. We also find in chapter twenty-one that New Jerusalem descends out of heaven and that the Tabernacle of God is with men. (Rev 21:3 KJV) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, and HE WILL DWELL WITH THEM, and they shall be his people, and GOD HIMSELF SHALL BE WITH THEM, and BE THEIR GOD. What was lost through Adam we gain back through Jesus Christ becoming his body and God's dwelling place. We become the one body of God and the Son of God his habitation and the tabernacle of God. Praise God Almighty! He is dwelling in us now and we have communion with him and he walks and talks with us.
When Adam sinned God moved out and did not dwell there, but that was just the beginning of the plan of God. He told Moses in Exodus build me a tabernacle because I want to dwell among man again in the garden of God.
God has dwelt in tents or individual members or saints, but the church is coming together into one glorious body and in that one house there are many mansions that our Father has prepared and is still preparing, which are you and I. These many mansions make up the one great city of New Jerusalem, which is that one great house of the Father. (John 14:2 KJV) In my FATHER'S HOUSE are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. There is only one Father's house that consist of many houses or mansions. Are you seeing more of the oneness of God?
Moses build me a tabernacle and see that you do it according to the pattern that I give unto you. Do not add rooms or furniture or anything because I will fashion it and I will fashion you, and I will fashion my church the way that I exactly want it built, this is what God was saying. If Moses had built the Tabernacle his way it would not have fit God's exact needs. God's glory would have never filled it as it never filled Herod's temple. It would have been glorious and beautiful unto man, but it would have only been a house of merchandise and a den of thieves and robbers.
The church and body of the living God is being built upon spiritual truths and by the pattern of God, which is given unto us in the oracles of God. God is in the church today but not in the power nor to the extent that he wants to be. The revelation of Jesus Christ and the fullness of the oneness of God is the strength of the church that brings the body together and that unifies the body into the full awesome power of God. This unifies the body into the one mind and power of God. Where there is confusion there is Babylon and the evil works of the first Adam where God cannot dwell.
(Hab 2:14 KJV) For the earth SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD, as the WATERS COVER THE SEA. God is in his church and his habitation. When this body completely comes together through understanding the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, in these last days, the power and the glory of God will be fully revealed.
Revelation is what the habitation and the Son of God are built upon. What revelation is the church built upon? The church is built upon the revelation of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, being the church, which is the one body and dwelling place of our father. We are unified and glorified with our father Jesus, the Holy Ghost, and when it is finished the habitation will be the completed body of the Son of God. The word continues to be made flesh unto all of the inhabitants of this earth through us, his flesh the builders of the dwelling place of God. Jesus works through his body and we do the work of our father. (John 17:11 KJV) And now I am no more in the world, but THESE ARE IN THE WORLD, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, THAT THEY MAY BE ONE, AS WE ARE. We are one body, one son, and the one habitation and dwelling place of God.
Every time that the glory of God showed up in the word of God it was manifested in the natural. (Mark 16:17 KJV) And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (Mark 16:18 KJV) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. These were the signs that followed the church before the divisions of denominations and Babylon took away the revelation of the oneness of God.
Denominations and man made fellowships destroy the unity of the one body of Jesus Christ through lack of revelation. They changed the pattern of the habitation and the Tabernacle of God and built them beautiful temples that are made by their hands. This applies to men that are puffed up in their own self's and claim to have the indwelling of God or the Holy Ghost. They are false lying prophets without the true revelation of the Son of God. These men come in power of the unholy ghost, Satan, having all lying signs. These men also claim to be the habitation of God. (2 Th 2:9 KJV) Even him, whose coming is after the WORKING OF SATAN WITH ALL POWER and SIGNS and LYING WONDERS.
Denominations have changed the glory of God into the corruptible glory of the beast and worship the image of man, the beast, and not God. The image of the beast is the carnal church, whore, and corrupted pattern of man. This image has been given the power to speak as it changes the revelation of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, into their lies of end time prophecies of carnal warfare.
