The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9"According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9


God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven?

Copy of the True Tabernacle

The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also?

They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

The Greatest Commandment

Matthew 22

36.Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?".

Many Christians have use that question as a way to discount the ten commandments , to say that the "Royal Law" of God was nailed to the cross. In this article we will go over what this verse means and why we should not allow ourselves to be deceived any longer by false teachers.

37.Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.

What does it mean to love God with all your heart. Is loving God a weak sentimental feeling left to us to decide or does the Bible describe what it is to love Him. Fortunately for us it does and it is right in the ten commandments. The commandments has two parts, the first four dealing with Loving God and the second with loving your neighbor.

So what does it  means to love God? Well if you love God

High Self Esteem is not of God

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Philippians 2:3


Pride

Many define self-esteem as “feelings of worth based on their skills, accomplishments, status, financial resources, or appearance". This definition can be summarized as having pride, of being proud of one's self. A person that has high self esteem does not have a need for God because they have become their own gods .

God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6


America the land of the Proud

Building self esteem and self confidence is now a major drive in the culture, even the churches are joining the chorus. Everyone want to feel like they are the most important person, that the world revolves around them. It is a spirit of arrogance, a spirit of lie

Following the crowd: Apostate Christianity

Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, "No, but there shall be a king over us, that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.1 Samuel 8:19,20 .
Holy Nation


God wanted Israel to be a special people, a Holy Nation different than the surrounding nations. To be a light among the nations and preached unto them the good news of the kingdom. Likewise we Christians are supposed to be so. We ought to be the light in a world deep in darkness. The speakers of  truth to a world in love with error.

For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. Deuteronomy 7:6

You Shall Not Surely...... Satan's response to modern Eves

But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:4,5 .


As we saw in the previous article titled ,"Did God Really Say? Satan's questions to Humanity in the 21st century:, Satan has continued to ask the questions. Many Christians like Eve have been attempting to provide the answers to those critical questions. The question now is, do we believe in Satan's response to our answers? In this article we will go over some of those responses being provided by the enemy.
                      

Marriage

You shall not surely disobey God if you live together for God knows that marriage is just a paper, and is also a dangerous thing to do.  And the woman looked and saw that marriage was not

The Days of Lot (United states and spreading) 21st Century Bible Reading

And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business--eating and drinking, buying and selling, farming and building, until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

Luke 17:28,29


Christ's prophecy of the end times are now here. These are no longer speculations ,but the realities we are now living in the United States and many other countries throughout the world. In this article we will look at how the days of Lot are but with a modern twist.

Genesis 13. Christians settling in the Valleys of the world's ways

 Christians settled among the cities of the valley and moved their tents as far as Sodom.


Tents  :Christians trying as hard as possible to be just like the world in their teachings, fashions, and ways

Now the men of the United States were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.


Genesis 18. Outcry Against the United States and others

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from the True Christians  that thing which I do;

20Then the LORD said, "The outcry against the United States and many other countries is immense, and their sin is extremely serious. I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."



Ezekiel 16.The Iniquity of the United States and others

Behold, this is the iniquity of thy sister United States, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness is in her and in her daughters, neither does she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy
And they are haughty, and are committing abominations before me: therefore I am going to take them away as I see good. Ezekiel 16:49,50


Genesis 19. House of God's servants Surrounded

Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of the United States, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.

From every quarter:  activist judges passing laws promoting perversions and suing Christians for refusing to participate .
Education systems being vehemently anti God and pro immorality and false philosophies  such as evolution.
Liberal churches denying the Word of God by trying to be like the world
Politicians flipping sides to accommodate immoral behaviors in order to gain votes

But the Christians went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind them and said, "Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly.

Get out of our way," they replied. "This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We'll treat you worse than them." They kept bringing pressure on Christians and moved forward to break down the door.

Name calling to suppress the truth Intolerant, self righteous, Pharisee, Bigot, Homophobe, Better than thou.
Pressure  being applied on the  true Christians in order  to break the door of moral restraint  and the knowledge of God in the Land.

Isaiah 3:9. United States Parading Sin


The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves. Isaiah 3:9


Jude 1:7. Imminent Judgment

And don't forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God's judgment.


Beloved when you start seeing a nation behaving like Sodom then you know that the days of Lot are here. The Lord will pay that nation a visit to see if they have done according to the outcry against it. Let us pray God that he may help us , give us the courage to spread the good news so that many may be rescued from the destruction to come.

Did God really say? Satan's questions to humanity in the 21st century

 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, 'You shall not eat of any tree in the garden'?”

This strategy shows that Satan has not change his ways from his first question to our first parents. He continues asking questions to cast doubts in the Word of God and cause as many as he can to fall just like Adam and Eve did. Here are some of the topics that are in question these day and age.




Marriage

From the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh?
Mark 10:7

Divorce

I hate divorce!" says the LORD, the God of Israel. "To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. "So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife?"
Malachi 2:16

Homosexuality

If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13

Atheism

The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
Psalm 14:1

Creation

For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.
Exodus 20:11

Sabbath

But the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God.Exodus 20:10

Sabbath in the New earth?

For just as the new heavens and the new earth Which I make will endure before Me," declares the LORD, "So your offspring and your name will endure. 23"And it shall be from new moon to new moon And from sabbath to sabbath, All mankind will come to bow down before Me," says the LORD

Women ordination

I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly.1 Timothy 2:12


Ponder on these questions and give the appropriate response to the serpent according to the Word, may God help us all.

Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"Matthew 4:4
