One of the earliest intimations I had of a "process" that occurs within the Old Testament Temple structure was from a video that was put out by Timothy Ferris quite a few years ago. Having grown up as a Catholic, I always wondered why steeples were so prominent in church buildings--especially Catholic cathedrals. Timothy Ferris tied together several reasons for it, even tying together its representation within the CERN complex. It was more than a symbolic gesture. It held connotations of an upward sweeping spiritual experience and an expansiveness that defied rational explanation. It testified of something that could not be seen nor experienced, but deep in our souls it RESONATED with something that was beyond us. Even then, the understanding of what was being conveyed did not hit me until I began putting together the structure of the Temple.

I have never seen an actual ACCURATE depiction of the temple. It came as a great surprise to me that the cubit-by-cubit representation of it in Ezekiel showed a "steeple" that was 120 cubits in height. It was nearly three times the height of the building, itself. The People's Bible Encyclopedia explained that it was "the perfect ideal of a Shemitic Temple", but it could never be built in actuality. I came to understand this in time. There were "anomalies" in there that could not be reconciled with traditional construction. I became frustrated with my own inability to understand why. Quite some time passed before I realized that it had nothing to do with the building, itself. It was all about what was contained WITHIN and the purposes of those "artifacts". Believe me when I say that I could talk for HOURS about what the "traditional" understanding was all about. The SDA church's teachings have the Sanctuary at the very center of their teachings and can relate almost every single aspect of Christ's life within the "Jewish economy" that was was indicative of the daily, weekly and yearly services. In other words, the "goings in and the goings out, the forms and the laws thereof" were ENTIRELY about spiritual things and steps in the lives of its people.

However, we as a church had taken it no further in spite of all the other things in there that were not discussed by ANYBODY and were a total mystery to me. I love mysteries. I jumped in with both feet and was not prepared for what I found. I was boggled by it. I still am to some degree. Even my closest Christian friends cannot see the value of what it represents. If it doesn't have the traditional understanding of the different aspects of a Christian lifestyle, it had no meaning for them--and even DETRACTED from their own spiritual understanding. In short, they dismissed it out of hand--just like most do here. They would rather not hear about it at all. It reeked of deep science--a deeper science than they were willing to even discuss, let alone STUDY. To make the current attempt even more difficult, my I7 computer crashed, wiping my hard drive with all my data. I had hoped to show a physical representation, but now that is impossible for the present time. I am now limited to trying to get it understood by PERCEPTION ALONE. A picture, they say, is worth a thousand words. I'm currently stuck with the 1000 words. So be it. It may even order my thoughts. I may just end up talking to myself, but I am CONSTRAINED by some current "intimations" of final events and a deep feeling of time running out.
