OPENING ANCIENT DOORS
OPENING ANCIENT DOORS
“Lift up
your heads O gates and be lifted up O ancient doors; that the King of glory may
come in! Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty
in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates and left them up O ancient doors; that the
King of glory may come in! Who is the King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is
the King of glory.” Psalm 24:7-10.
Surely
as David wrote these epic words, He was undoubtedly thinking about the
tabernacle of Moses and beyond that His deep desire to build a house for the Lord.
Earlier in this chapter David had asked the question: ”Who may ascend into the hill
of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a
pure heart…”
We know
that before Solomon’s magnificent Temple was built, David built a tent for the Lord
and placed it on Mt. Zion. It was a tent without veils or walls so that the Ark
of the Covenant could clearly be seen. So David surrounded His tabernacle with
priests and worshippers in shifts so that worship and praise to the Lord went
on 24 hours a day and night.
When
Solomon built His temple, the glory of the Lord filled the place with such
power that the priests could no longer stand to worship. However, we find that
when God once again builds a house to dwell in, it will not be Solomon’s
temple, but as it says in Acts 15:16-18
“After
these things I will return and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David which has
fallen and I will rebuild its ruins and I will restore it, in order that the rest
of mankind may seek the Lorde and all the Gentiles who are called by My name “says
the Lord, who makes things known from of old.
If we
rightly divide the Word of God we will understand that whatever was spoken
about the tabernacle and whatever happened to it in ancient times applies to us
as humans living today, for we are now the temple of God.
But
interestingly when God talks about restoring and rebuilding the Tabernacle, He
doesn’t refer to Solomon’s glorious temple, but to the simple humble tabernacle
of David.
Now let’s
put two and two together. The Masonic Lodge practically worships Solomon and
their masonic secrets and mysteries, concerning Hiram Abiff (who I believe was
a Phoenician builder), all center on the building of Solomon’s temple. Today the
Masons, who are part and parcel of the New World Order, want to rebuild the Temple
of Solomon in order to fulfill the ancient scriptures. But they want to build
it by men and they want the glory to go to their imposter king the antichrist.
This
third temple is a part of the grand delusion that is coming quickly upon the
world as they seek to fake the millennial reign of Christ. But God, looking
down to our time, says that He is not interested in a Solomon kind of temple
any more. He wants to restore the tabernacle of David. It was a humble
tabernacle without veils. And corresponding to this Paul said in 2 Cor. 3: 16:
“Whenever
a man turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” This again is a picture of
David’s tabernacle and we can rest assured that God is now dwelling in humble
hearts and HE will not dwell in that manmade temple which they are planning to
build in Jerusalem, because the temple that God is building and will build will
be built by the Messiah as per the specifications found in Ezekiel. Whether a literal
temple or one built in human hearts in that coming day, I can’t say, but
perhaps it will be both.
But
when we rightly divide the Word of God, then we can clearly see how that
everything that happens in Israel physically, tells us what is happening
spiritually in the rest of the world and even as a false temple is being built
in Israel for the antichrist, so there is a huge falling away taking place as
large swaths of Christianity falls away from the foundations of the faith and
joins with Pope Francis to form a false religion that will in turn worship the
Beast and His image.
Rightly
dividing the word of God is becoming critically important in our day if we are
to understand what is going on in the world and so we can avoid being swept
away by the grand delusions that are coming upon the earth.
It is
exciting to see the third temple quickly becoming a reality in our day. It is
prophesied in the Bible and Jesus reiterates that event as a last day event
when the antichrist commits the Abomination of Desolation in that temple.
Everyone but God’s true Remnant will worship the Beast when he takes his place
in the temple, but it will not go well for them. The book of Revelation
identifies this coming third temple as a synagogue of Satan, built by those who
say they are Jews, but are not.
So, yes
it is exciting to see preparations taking place for the third temple, because
we know that it will be in full swing during the final great tribulation and
that means that Jesus will soon return.
But if
you want to open the gates and the everlasting doors so that the King of glory
might come in, then You must become more like the tabernacle of David… humble…
with cleans hands and a pure heart… and through the blood and sacrifice of
Jesus we can stand in His presence without veils for they are removed in
Christ.
When we
rightly divide the word of Truth, then we are shocked at how relevant the Old
Testament is to what Satan is trying to build in the world right now, and in
turn we can see exactly what God is trying to build in human hearts. He is
rebuilding the tabernacle of David, even as the New World Order people are
seeking to restore the Tabernacle of Solomon. They want the glory that is due
only to the Lord, but the Lord is going to share His glory with His people.
“For it
was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things,
in bringing many sons to glory to perfect the author of their salvation through
sufferings. For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all
from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren.”
Heb. 2:10, 11
Let us
determine today to become like the tabernacle of David so that the King of
glory might come in.
