Again, rain is something that we've been having lately contributions.

so, The word is used three times in a very, very short order and it's Terry. Kuruma. So, you know, raise up a contribution. To me. So I'm I'm going to make a contribution now from my coin purse and I'm going to go off screen for just a second. You don't have to follow me. I'm going to put a contribution of $0.05 and the basket. This is where we receive our contributions and we don't make a big deal out of it and interesting. Lee enough God didn't either he said whoever wants To make a contribution. Whoever has this desire in his heart to make a contribution. Let him make contributions, but it's not a simple word. It's Thai room is heave offering. So he's kind of saying, grab all your money and throw it into the pot. I mean, I'm not preaching this. I'm just saying that's what God said. It's a heave offering else were called a heave offering. I've taken some brief snapshots of the Temple Tabernacle. It's a four layers of skins and linen. The inner layer is this fine, linen layer and inside. It is a gold-plated. Wooden frame with gold plated supporting rods. And it's a lot of gold.

Anyone ever want to do something really special for your kids and like decide to take them camping?

Imagine you wanted to take your kids on. The most glorious camping trip, you've ever imagined in your life and you were going to buy a tent. How much would you spend on this tent?

And you wanted to be really, really fun. So you're going to really invest in this because this is this is going to be something, your kids are going to remember their lifetime, and they're going to tell their children about it and their children's children about it. They're going to be so excited about this camping outfit that you got this. You won't believe it. So how much do you think God asked them to spend on this camping trip?

All they wanted to, you don't have to spend anything. If you want to contribute to this wonderful camping trip. I'd like you to raise up a heave offering a contribution.

66 million dollars in gold.

3 million dollars in silver $10,000 in bronze. And let's talk about the wood. Well, I'll get there. I'll get there. Speak to the people of Israel, it's desirable. This is kasuto a commentator. It's desirable that they take for me. Grab take

Not steal. But grabbed take a wife. It's so it's a powerful word. Take for me, a contribution tarama from everyone who wishes to give me a Tarot, whether he be rich or poor, if he gives much or little the nickel that I put in if I'm poor would be greatly honored by God. Doesn't matter how much if you want to give give. We have that same tradition here. If you want to give the baskets for their, we do not make a big deal out of giving you will not hear giving sermon well, with rare exception in this body, we don't, it's not our goal to try to cause you to give money so that we can do anything. If you give money, will try to use it. Effectively and efficiently. our goal, our primary goals at church and Messiah are missions and benevolence

And we've given a lot. And that's okay. It's not enough. From every man, whose Hearts moves him, you shall receive a contribution from for me. You shall receive take a contribution. You shall receive a contribution are the same words. Take grab a hold, take a wife, receive a wife, it's the same word, you do unusual that, that word would be in opposite directions. Let them build me a sanctuary that I may dwell in their midst. So we focus on the idea that we're building a place for God to dwell, right? Sometimes we do that. He says, he says, let them build for me a sanctuary. He doesn't say a Dwelling Place. David wanted to build a dwelling place for God. And you know what God said to him?

You got no idea. I have a Dwelling Place.

He doesn't need a Toyota place to dwell. He's got whatever that place we call Heaven. Is he has an incredible place and Moses is asked to make this small copy after realities that are in that place and we're supposed to learn from what those things are and how they're made and everything else about our own lives.

I don't think so. Yes. I think so.

So use the pattern, I'll show you. So a lesson that I take from this is God doesn't say, go down to Walmart and buy a cheap tent and it can be big or small. I prefer a big Fairly durable and I'll be fine and say that. He says if you do this this is how I want you to do it. And then Moses dutifully followed as well as he could the instructions and he god-gifted betzalel with the holy spirit. So betzalel was able to interpret Moses instructions or God gave him instructions directly. And Moses was able to supervise superintend, the instruction to make sure that everything was in accordance with what he saw on the mountain. God is present in his own terms. He's not present on your terms. We want God to be present on our terms. We talked to God, like we're the ones who decide how it's going to be and he can walk along with this if he wants. That's the way it's supposed to be. God has his own terms, he's laying out and where to do whatever it is. He's telling us to do on his terms. So if you hear God, speak a word. And you know, it's God. And you know what he means by it? It's clear. It isn't whatever you want to do. He's giving you instruction. He's giving you clear terms and you know what you are to do? That's something. We should always remember God's present on his own terms. He's a loving God who cares for us but he has rules. He has terms so Moses receives the pattern from God and meanwhile the nation of Israel has a different idea. They think it would be cool to make a golden calf. More on that. Later, much later. So the basic principle the pattern, God showed Moses was God's Dwelling Place, which we call Heaven. Sometimes the Tabernacle, however, costly, it might seem

Was a copy, a cheap copy. Which provided a way that God could come to us on his own terms and something we could afford, he didn't demand that they re rebuild something as big and glorious is heaven. He wanted them to build a cheap copy.

The cost about 70 million dollars. Doesn't sound cheap. But it was cheap. They wanted to give so they threw in the hell. He waved money at this until God said, that's enough. That's not this week but it's coming. God will tell them you give it enough. Stop got enough. I don't be a few weeks from now probably. Provided a way, God could come to us on his own terms and something we could afford. It was something we could afford incredible. The details of the Tabernacle were expanded in Solomon's Temple. So, what you see in the Tabernacle, you'll see again in Solomon's Temple in one form or another and the second temple, I'm not going to call it herod's Temple cuz I prefer to leave it. The second temple ezekiel's temple, which is a prophetic future Temple. And have it itself, the revelation of John, I believe saw. I think John saw what Moses saw on the mountain and so Moses is copying the images that we can read about in Revelation.

A careful study of these Furnishings details. Instructions etcetera is intended to instruct us regarding the realities trues and needs of our own lives. I've been thinking about this basic idea for a long time. Now, since the first time I encountered this idea which would have been in 1994 So I'm amazed at what I learned every year from this. It's

Exciting. yep, sobering Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Acacia. So first he says, build build the ark out of an acacia tree. Make it out of acacia wood. This is almost certainly the type of Acacia use. There are three types that could have been used and this is common throughout that part of the world they're actually maybe hundreds of different kinds of vacation but only three of them are good for making furniture. I've always imagined a pretty scrawny little tree, right. Can you saw a two and a half Cubit board? Out of that tree by 1 1/2 cubits doesn't look like it, right? No, don't look like it. So I've always imagined the ark being constructed of laminated boards that are kind of glued together maybe with a dowel through the center holding together. I don't know. Anyway, I keep looking. So, how big in The Acacia? Can you can you buy? You know? I mean so this is an example of an acacia plank. It's the biggest one I've ever seen online. Definitely, you could build a two and a half cubic by 1 1/2, Cubit thing out of that. And if you bought enough wood to build a two and a half, cubic by 1 1/2 cubed by one and a half cubic box, guess what it would cost. At the local hardware store. Today. About $5,000 for the fox.

If you made it by hand, this is a very, very hard wood. Very scratch resistant. Would have been not easy to make, but they knew how to make it as this guy. Doesn't he had PS power. So that's a good thing anyway. I thought interested me so I thought I'd show it to you Ezekiel Vision. So We just skipped. Two temples were going forward to Ezekiel in the 25th year of the Exile on the 10th of Nisan. 10th of Nisan. Did anything happen on the 10th of Nisan? That's before Passover. What happened to things happened? I'll just tell you Miriam died and they no longer had water. Just one thing that happened. Another thing that happened is, it's the day that they cross the Jordan River to enter the land. so those are interesting background facts not particularly meaningful here, but I think they play in

Yes. They choose the Lambs on the 10th of Nisan.

Yeah. Yeah, the water, the water, the loss of water. And the gaining, the water, and the kingship of Jesus. And Jesus, baptism, it's all, it's all related. I think that Jesus baptism, if you go way forward from where we are right now was really not that he needed to be baptized. It was it was, he was entering into his Messianic life.

He's now the king. And John proclaimed that. so it's it's, it's

John says, I can't baptize you. You should baptize me and you cuz yeah, I know, but this is what we're doing. So that things can be fulfilled and which I think really in the background is that, it's my time. All right. I have to enter the water and come up out of the water as the new king just like Crossing through the LEDs Red Sea. Yes.

That's the day. The Lord brought me to a city. The city actually is what it says. A bronze man with a measuring cord and Reed. Stood at the Gateway saying, son of man, look with your eyes, hear with your ears and set your heart upon all that. I show you and tell Israel everything you see. So here's this bronze, man. At ezekiel's Temple, which is crazy big. And if you look at artists Renditions of ezekiel's Temple and you look at five of them, you'll go they don't have anything in common. These are all different they don't look the same at all. Know we don't know what is ezekiel's Temple. Looks like we know what artists have said, it might look like it's something beyond our comprehension. That's all I know. But I think is ezekiel's Temple. Is also representative in some way of what John saw. And what Moses saw. So we're going to go here. Son of man. Look with your eyes, hear with your ears set, your heart upon all that. I show you and tell his real everything. You see he had a measuring cord which is like a rope a string that you measure distances with an amazing read or rod and a back in the day they would take a reed from I guess a Papyrus read about 10 ft long and they do use it as a basic measuring stick kind of like our yard stick or three yard stick

An image.

Take this measuring read the measuring cord and measure everything and tell his real about it. God's glory came from the East after this man shows that with the sound of many Waters You can hear the shofar, blowing in the background, the Earth shown with his glory. I fell on my face as the Lord, the glory entered, the temple. The spirit lifted me up and brought me to the inner court and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. So, Ezekiel, as the son of man is now in the inner Court. Of the temple. And God is filling the temple. And he is seeing it. The presence of God is filling the temple, a voice from the temple. Presumably God, I can't prove that but a voice from the temp I can if you if you look at all the things that he says about himself and what he expects a voice from the temple. God said, Son of Man described the Temple Israel. So they'll be ashamed of their sin and measure the plan. The details of this Tabernacle Temple are intended to instruct us about our lives. Not only about how they should be but help us to realize about the idea that they're not what they should be. We've got some problems that need worked out. We've not we got some wounds that need healed. Got some issues that need to be discussed. We got some relational conversations that need to be had. Some things need to be said that we're not saying But these are all important, and he's saying this to them.

That they'll be ashamed of their sin and measure the plan, make known to them. The temple design, its Arrangement exits and entrances, its whole design and also all of its statutes the laws that don't make sense to you. And also its instructions Torah and write it down and their site. So that all may observe all its laws and all the statutes and carry them out and be the kind of people, I've created them to be.

When were praising God. And people jumping out of proof used to dance and kids are somersaulting in the Isles. We are what God wants us to be. I believe.

Joyfolie. What were your words were? I joyfully doing what they were created to do now?

I have an image of the eagle. Also, we were in Alaska and they took us to this little island in the middle of nowhere is a boat ride and we a rubber raft ride out weave. And he said, I want you to see this and so it was a eagle's nest on this really little island on One Tree one, little tree with an eagle on the top of it and had the mother eagle And a teenage. Rebellious, son Eagle who looked like an adult eagle. And the teenage son was crying out for his mother to feed them.

And the mom was throwing them out of the nest.

He was doing what he was created to do. He wasn't yet at the point where he was old enough to know, he should be soaring. And finding his own food. So timing of things is person individual related if, if Asher loves to somersault and worship glorify,

I do you may disagree with me. Oh well. Instructions observe all that. So this is a crude comparison you can see the court of the Tabernacle there on the middle, right? It's fairly small Solomon's Temple. The temples about the size of the Tabernacle then there is Harrods or the second temple. There's an American football field for comparison and this is one artist rendition of ezekiel's Temple. This is the smallest rendition. I know of there are others that are much larger of ezekiel's Temple So today we're going to focus in on the inner Temple, the inner holy and holy of holies and we're going to be zooming in on the ark. The Mercy Seat on the menorah and the table table of the bread of the presence.

Before we go there. if you look, The whole Tabernacle layout. And you divide it in half.

It's fifty, cubits fifty cubits, fifty cubits, 50 cubits and a door of 20 cubits. So this is doesn't look very square. And what does it does on yours? Those two sides are squares there. Exactly equal squares. And if you draw the intersecting lines, The Mercy Seat, the all the ark, and the and the altar are dead center. And the places. Of their service. And I think the instruction we can learn from this is that God has to be dead center. I'll give you that more later, but I said that now, because I wanted you to see the picture and understand what's going on.

Layout lessons. So what lessons can we take from this? Will rob? All you say is interesting but I don't really have anything, I can take away. Okay? We're going to be doing some takeaways today. Our lives are like walking in the Tabernacle, we enter a courtyard, a holy place and sometimes are called to serve as priests at the altar of sacrifice. That's on the on the right.

Or in the Holy Place, Another another place. And in the most holy place, we enter the most holy Place. Through our Lord, Jesus Christ, Hebrews 10, we enter through Jesus who is the curtain and we go into the throne room and were able to make our desires known to the king of the universe. The most holy place.

The ark and the are on the altar are both located at the absolute Center of each area of an inner lives. God must be at the absolute Center. So, I have a question. What is it that God wants the golden tent?

Why is he build a golden 10? We read it.

He wanted to be a

Sanctuary. A place where we worship Him. and in such a place where we can worship him a sanctuary, He dwells. In our worship. And the worship Place. God wants it. Why does he want it? He wants to be with us. But he wants to be with us on our terms or on his terms. And his terms.

Blows me away just thinking about it.

The God wants to be with human beings.

This is the Arc of a depiction there of this is from the temple Institute, doesn't mean it's what they think it looks like. But it's it's um it's a it's an image of the Ark with with the priest sprinkling blood on it.

Here's another image.

Could go through lots of details on this. Just going to give you a few.

Ark and mercy, seat lessons. We're like Muirwood. We're Not Gold. We're just wood. Regular stuff. Stuff to build houses out of nothing, special. Nothing precious but he wants us to be covered in gold on the inside. And on the outside, he wants our appearance to others, to be like gold. He wants our parents to others to be precious. He wants when we walk into the presence of other people, that they're glad to see us. And they're glad to hear what we have to say and they're glad to be in our presence. Perhaps more importantly, he wants our inside. To be gold. Covered in gold.

Where would but we're covered in gold on the inside. And the outside, you can tell the Integrity of a man by knowing what he is when he's alone. What you are on the inside is important. Can you? Change that.

kind of,

we are what we are. We're not going to change but we can learn And so, one of the lessons of this Arc is that we we learn to be holy. Pure on the inside and on the outside. And as a fact, as a matter of fact, we carry God's word in US. Wherever you go. You carry the word of God in you. Not only that, you carry, Aaron's staff, a staff that buds blooms and bears fruit. So in your core you have stuff. That's sweet. Like a flower that bears fruit is good for life. And good for everyone who comes in contact with you that's in you Above the box of the Ark were covered by God's Mercy Seat. The little word for the covering is Kappa Rhett. Which if you take, pepper it into the New Testament is hilasterion and the seat the cover. Is the word for? Atonement.

So we can talk about the various theories of atonement. Penal substitution and all the rest are maybe 10. But the main, the main thing is, is not the individual theories. We we shouldn't get into arguments over which one's right, and which one's wrong. But what is it? We're covered with. God's mercy were covered with his covering. We're covered with his blood were covered with his mercy seat and above the mercy seat, I will around the rim of The Mercy. Seat is a crown. It says there's a rim around at her molding around at the same word for Crown.

Crown.

Above the Box recovered in The Mercy Seat. We're like children cherubs my opinion, who faced each other in relationship with the presence of God in our midst. So, it's, it's an important detail. According to many things that I agree with and I haven't read a lot that are in disagreement that these, that, these chair of them are In relationship. They're facing toward each other.

In the first temple, in Solomon's Temple, he had these here. But in the in the in the holy of holies

He also had. Big cherubim facing outward. And some of the Jewish commentators say that the darien lied, a problem with the design of the of the temple because the chair of them, the large tell them, we're not in relationship. One to another and if they're not in relationship, one to another Then the Shekinah Glory of God cannot dwell in their midst. So, there were cherubim and on the mercy seat, and the Shekinah Glory of God is dwelling in the midst of these two in relationship face to face. But they have these two big ones, not face-to-face and when you don't have relationship, you don't have God. so relationship is key to our relationship with God and we know that for many verses

With the presence of God in our midst. God is present Above The Mercy Seat. Mercy Seat between the cherubim. And, and some people say that this this Arc, because God is sitting above it, Is a footstool. And so, that's where we get the idea of worship at his footstool. because the, The Arc, the place where in relationship to one another and the Shekinah Glory of God is growing in our midst. The ark is the footstool. He's resting there. This is where he wants to chill. With us.

God is present. Both the night, Mercy Seat. The ark is like good sky and right relationship. We wear this Crown. The crown I was describing a minute ago. That doesn't have a crown and has a rim, but it's also a crown. If you took that off and made it round, it would look like a crown.

This is unusual. This is the table of showbread, according to a temple Institute, understanding and an orthodox understanding and it's created in such a way that when you go in, you have the 12 loaves of bread.

And the priest apparently eats in the presence of God, these one of these loads are partakes in these loaves but the bread is always present. So if you take a loaf, the bread's not present. So the Orthodox Russell with this and then they concocted this design, which allows you to slide, blow van and remove another bread. So you always have 12 lows

The bread of the presence. The bread of the presence of God. Punish him in the face, Faces by neem Nae in the face. So you're a free present before God's faces. Your faces, he sees your faces, so they make a big deal out of this is a plural for. It's a singular person who's there. And the meaning behind that is the, we have many faces. We have the face, you see? And we have the faces, you don't see the attitudes of sentiments, the beliefs we have many other facets to our life more faces. So, whenever you see this word, it's the pie name. So this is the the bread of the presence that I can't even say it. Call, you got a decent cute English translation of the Hebrew here.

It's based its its face bread in the face Leaf Nae. So the name is the many faces we've met before the face. So this is the day of the bread that is before God's face.

Bread of the presence lesson, again, we're Muirwood but covered in Gold. We provide face bread. Not only before God, but also to those we serve did David and his men actually ate the bread of the presence. We also carry plates dishes, jugs and bowls for infants, in for bread and drink offerings. That's not depicted in this picture, but the bread of the presence. If you read in the Bible has places for plates dishes, jugs and bowls for incense in for bread and drink offerings. So this is a real fancy meal. Gold silverware if you will one in the right relation. Also again, we wear the crown. So we have the Lark, the bread of the presence, the table of showbread. And we're not doing it this week, the incense Altar. And those are the three things that have crowns and I thought this before. But it's it's, it's commonly understood that the ark is God's word.

The table of the bread of the presence is God's Providence. And the incense altar is like, our intercession. So these are liking to Prophet priest and King. The three things with crowns, Jesus is said to be the prophet priest and King Mary Sylvia.

I think so. Is this a foreshadowing of the Feast of the Lamb? I think. So God wants us in his presence on his terms. So yeah, I think it definitely is and and and

We do it every week. When we come forward, we're going into the presence of God to share a meal with him, according to his instructions, not according to hours. so, we celebrate this each week when we take communion

Is there a correlation between the mercy seat and the throne Jesus. It's on Those who agree.

Those who disagree. I think so. Can I prove it?

when you start seeming together versus But sometimes it's a wonderful thing. And sometimes it's, it's, it's, it's dangerous without without spending significant time on that. I can't, I can't say, I can prove it or not prove it, but I think so.

It's definitely the Throne of God, that's the image. I mean, if you take, if you take what, what John saw in Revelation, he saw the Lord God in the midst of an infinite sea, sitting on a throne. And Jesus sits on that throne. so if you go forward to John, you kind of have to say well yeah, yeah, so that thrown in the midst of an infant to see is The Mercy Seat, The Arc, the presence of God, in the midst of all the people who are worshipping him around and infancy. And all these Elders who are around the Cincinnati, what are they doing?

They're casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea. What are the crowns? The crowns are prophet. Priest and King.

Profit the profit. Has God's word in him, he speaks God's word of Truth. The king provides bread for his people. A king who doesn't help. His people won't be king for very long. He'll be overruled. Priest. The priests lifts up intercedes for the people who is praying for incense. So Prophet priest, and King Elders, casting down their golden, crowns around a classy. Whenever you start reading this and Jewish commentary, Hugo these are the three great crowns. The crown of a good name rises above them all. Read that maybe 20 times. What's it mean to pry? The, the the

What did I just say?

The crown of a good name, rises above the mall. You can't have a good name. If you're not acting for your family, for the people around you as Prophet priest and King.

I know it's too much information.

Wainwright relation, we wear a crown. Bread of the presence lessons. This is the Tabernacle as reconstructed by the temple Institute in in Jerusalem,

if this were made out of solid gold, According to the people who understand solid gold and the weight of it which is about twice, the weight of lead, it would not stand because golden is incredibly soft. The pure gold of The Exodus is around. 23 carrots. They didn't have the science that we have today to make 24-karat gold. Apparently, I'm not saying it wasn't 24 karat gold. I'm saying the best indication we have about archaeological. Evidence is 23 carats. But in order for this to stand with the way that it must be according to the size that it is, it almost has to have a frame that supports the gold. It's believed that this was probably a acacia wood frame. And today the one in Jerusalem has a steel frame which, I'm not going to go there.

Menorah lessons God's light shines before us directing our path when we light the lamps, it's Shining Light so that we can see what is going on where we're going. Do you need the light of God to see where you're going? How often do you need to trim the lamps for this light of God. According to the Bible. Twice a day. Morning and evening. We provide light, not only for our paths, but we also provide light to all those around us are like comes from oil. That's what it comes from in the Bible. It's like an anointing oil. In our oil comes from the anointed one. Jesus, we don't have any oil if it's not from Jesus.

Give me a oil in my lamp. Keep me burning burning. But never mind. We need to rely on his leading as we provide light for ourselves and for others and the menorah one more thing about the menorah. It's like an almond tree. So, it has blossoms.

Blooms and fruit. An almond tree in see the almonds that are above the calyx right below. The, the lamp part.

This is an interesting word. Almond, the word for almond is Chicago, which also means to watch and the Lord asked, Jeremiah is Jeremiah and Jeremiah says, I see an almond branch. Okay, so what God says You seem very well. Jeremiah

I see an almond branch. We don't get this. We don't understand it. I see an almond Branch because You seem well for I am watching Chicago over my word to perform it so God is saying yeah you see. Well it's an almond Branch like a seeing branch. Like a watching Branch da man is an image that God watches and prepares and causes things to happen. It's a watching Branch. So if we're like The Almond Tree represented by the menorah that provides light. We are watching over and even protecting God's word. Which dwells within us in another part.

Hagi. I be strong and work. For, I Am with You declares. The Lord of hosts. According to my Covenant, my spirit remains in your midst, fear. Not once more in a little while, I'll shake the heavens Earth, sea, and land, I'll shake the nation's not just Egypt, the nation's. So all their Treasures will come in and I'll fill my house with Glory. The silver is mine and the gold is mine. This 70 million dollars is nothing.

All of, it's mine.

The latter Glory of this house. Hagi. I writes the latter Glory of this house. Not the glory of the house. That Moses is constructing the latter Glory of this house. Shall be greater than the former

Inconceivable. But true. And in this place I'll bring wholeness peace Joy. Will be able to do all we can do. Every time I hear Tom or someone say Duvy, do I think? Oh yeah. I remember that song. Dooby. Dooby Doo. Nevermind. I'll bring peace, Isaiah. I would never connected these. These these to this verse but it it all connects. Arise & Shine. For your light has come, the glory of the Lord has risen upon. You Nation shall come to your light Kings of the brightness for Rising. The wealth of the nation shall come to you. And then he says, camels from Midian, Eva Sheba shall come bearing, gold, and frankincense, and good news. The Praises of the Lord and kadar's flocks and the bias Rams and tarshis will come from the coastlands. Now, all of these places are places where Arabs, well today,

This is the Messianic fulfillment of the prophecies. Promised. In a sense to Moses. And constructing the Tabernacle, everything everything, there is a cheap copy, you won't believe how great it's going to be. Your Gates will always be open. Your Gates will never be closed. Nations will be free to come and go. No one will want to leave. Amen. Glorious. Glorious. You shall know that I the Lord, am your savior and Redeemer. And so, that's enough. I don't need more than that, right? That's enough. The spirit of the Lord is upon me. I wasn't expecting that right there. I was good. I don't need more. To bring good news. He's the noided me to bring good news to the poor bind up the Brokenhearted. This it caused me to cry this week this week. So anyone who is heart? Inclines him to give me an offering. Bring it here. It if your heart inclined, you bring it. Give it. Take it. Give it. I have plans.

Good news to the poor to bind up the Brokenhearted. I would not have connected. This is a connecting word. What he's saying is, if you're broken hearted, if you're incapable of free freely, wanting to give to God, he will bind up your broken heart.

You'll be fixed. You'll be repaired, you'll be made new. You'll be willing and able and desirous to help and honor and do whatever you can for this Lord.

It isn't the just that Jesus is going to fix us. It's going to fix us for a reason.

Takeaways for the day, we've covered several of them, the ark and mercy atonement seat lessons. The mineral Essence, the bread of the presence lessons, God wants us to raise up a heave offering. Our Free Will gifts to make a sanctuary. A place of worship for him.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you whom you have from God? You are not your own. You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. Raise up a heave offering unto the Lord. Amen. Any questions?
