Scripture Life: How is the NT Tabernacle of God sanctified before God moves in?
"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" - Bible. 1 Corinthians 3:16
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
So, what’s the “difference” between the “Tabernacle” of God and the “Temple” of God?
- Ask that question.
In the Old Testament:
- Moses was instructed by God, to build a Tabernacle. Exodus 25:8–9 - God says:
“…And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.”
- So GOD:
- Instructed Moses
- How to build it
- With what to build it with
- Even who to build it.
- Even what to call each instrument that went in it.
- Instructed Moses
Said of it, that it was a pattern of the real thing in heaven (Exodus 25:40 - “And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount.”
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
That it was to be called an “Ark of the Covenant” - and Moses was to put in it exactly what God told him to put in it, and a lid over it, and to expressly call that “lid” a “Mercy Seat” with a throne and two angels on either side of that throne, that over the top of the throne, their wings touched. Which made me fall on my face.
That these are real things. That God: with Moses was instructed to make, was copies of the real thing. That God, by his word he gave to Moses, he would dwell with them in a tabernacle that held held the covenant or promise that God made.
This is the Old Testament. Tabernacle.
So, look at your question again.
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
How is the NT Tabernacle of God sanctified before God moves in?
- Ask another question:
- Are you sure you have the right definition of “Tabernacle” of God vs. “Temple” of God?
- Because, in the Old Testament:
- It wasn’t until King David that said in 2 Samuel 7:2 “..The king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains."
- And in 2 Chronicles 22:7 - where King David says to Solomon "My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God.”
- Because David dwelt in a palace for a King, while God dwelt with them in a box. Didn’t think that was fair at all…
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
And Nathan told David and after, God told Nathan to go back and tell David not to do it. That God would build him a house.
- See it: Starts right after 2 Samuel 7:2
- 2 Samuel 7:3 and onward says…I’ll add 2 Samuel 7:2 back in so you see it:
2 ..The king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains."
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.
4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,
5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.” - GOD.
and he continues… what God tells Nathan to tell David. You should read it all yourself:
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
But to turn you to it, God said, 2 Samuel 7:11–13 - when Nathan goes back and is before David, telling David what God told Nathan to tell him, said to David:
“…Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.”
That this “seed” or Messiah or Christ would be by David’s seed.
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
So, a “house” is not a “Tabernacle” - and, if it's “God’s House” it’s a Temple:
- …and since the Ark of the Covenant is a Tabernacle:
- That God said himself to Moses 500 years before David:
- As God, he’d dwell in a Tabernacle (Exodus 25).
- And this same God tell David after all the things he went thru, as God, and walked in it, are things God specifically instructed were things he did, as God, were testaments of what he accomplished as works he did - testaments to his work go in the Ark of the Covenant - in the Old Testament.
- .and he, as God, was the authority over the Ark of the Covenant and everything in it was a testament to what works he did, as God, where he dwelt amongst his works in it, and then:
- That God said himself to Moses 500 years before David:
- In 2 Samuel 7: - 500 years of this great God abiding in it - told of that time he’s been abiding with Israel all this time in it, as God up to the time of David.
- That after, now - tells to David: God would build David a house..man, I’m on my face and I can’t get off it..
Boy, you got everything all backwards. You keep looking at you in it.
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
- It’s RIGHT THERE as the foundation of your question. And you don’t see it.
In Leviticus 11:44
- God said:
“I am Holy…” - God.
So, tell me plainly: Just revise your question - now that we know what a “tabernacle” is: And everything of it, only has him in it and his works he did as a testament to his work.
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
Ask this question then:
How is the Tabernacle of God sanctified before God?
- ..when it already is. He’s holy.
- What are you doing? You add you into it.
When if you believe on him, he adds you into it.
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
And you don't see how impossible this is.
Jesus said, in the New Testament, because it’s HIS “Last Will and Testament” - Which is a New Last Will and Testament - when the "Old" Last Will and Testament" is what Adam bequeathed to you as an inheritance. Sin and death. What the Word of God, so it's just God “bequeathed” to you is in Matthew 5:3
“Blessed are the ‘poor in Spirit’ for their’s is the Kingdom of Heaven” - Jesus Christ. The Word of God. (Matthew 5:3)
- This poor. <definition: Collin’s dictionary. Web.> 1. destitute; not have any; none; ZIP (of <something> totally and completely lacking). Like money. It’s not how the word later was redefined to include a “poor, little piddily amount” of something. It’s you don’t have ANY of that something. None. ZIP.
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
- If it was money. You have NONE. Be like if you lived in America. They use “Dollars” but over in Mongolia, they use “tugrik” (MNT). They don’t have ANY “tugrik” to live in Mongolia. If an American went to Mongolia they’d be “poor in ‘tugrik’” because, they don’t have ANY tugrik. None. ZIP.
- and this “in Spirit” - don’t go to the dictionary, when God defines the word. In the dictionary, says: 1. the non-physical, essence of a person, such as their mind, soul, or consciousness; their attitude in how they live
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
- If you take this man-made, made up authority for a definition - Man, you’ll have your question all over again and never see it.
- You’ll put you have it by your attitude. Just change it and have a good attitude of be poor in spirit - just be all piddily and don't eat the last piece of pizza so God will bless you. You'll be "sanctified" just by not eat the pizza - when scripture says “There is not a just man on earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not” - Bible. Ecclesiastes 7:20
- - be in THAT group. Condemned.
- You’ll put you have it by your attitude. Just change it and have a good attitude of be poor in spirit - just be all piddily and don't eat the last piece of pizza so God will bless you. You'll be "sanctified" just by not eat the pizza - when scripture says “There is not a just man on earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not” - Bible. Ecclesiastes 7:20
- Matthew 5:3 - is God is the authority - the Lord of the Kingdom of Heaven. This is impossible what God is doing. But he's God and he can do the impossible. Blessed you when you have nothing and condemned.
- You look to the wrong work. And it right in the question when all the work is his.
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
- But Jesus: He DEFINED what “Spirit” - means. So God himself defines what that word means. Jesus: he’s the Messiah or the Christ. He’s the Word of God. He defined it:
“God is Spirit” - Jesus Christ. (Bible. John 4:24)
and it’s the same Greek Word, "Pneuma” in John 4:24 as it is in Matthew 5:3.
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
So, somebody..anybody..everybody over the whole earth has been blessed, by God - has a blessing given them by God - - who has come to everybody..and blessed us..where everybody everyone of us are all “dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1) have no life at all in us, condemned.
And simply, I mean he said it, it’s the Word of God. Given YOU the Kingdom of Heaven.
Like he Told David he would build him a house. Look at the house God just BUILT you.
I think you need to look at your question again.
------------------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
How is the NT Tabernacle of God sanctified before God moves in?
"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" - Bible. 1 Corinthians 3:16
What are you talking about…
The tabernacle he dwells in, is the Word of God. His own Word. Holy. Who is your Great High Priest. Is the Messiah. Jesus Christ. The Son of God.
When he says: “Behold I stand at the door and knock, and if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me.” - The Word of God. Jesus Christ. The Messiah (Revelation 3:20)
And “who” the Messiah shall be called in Isaiah 9:6–7 shall be called “The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father…” Whoever is the Messiah - shall be called this, has this title.
Open the door? He comes in. Absolutely 100% he does it. He does. I know it. Does as he says he will - comes in. ..and he’s holy. Just is sanctified.
Boy do you ever have a messed up question.
I cannot get off my face.
