a doubt. LOL

Sorry about the abrupt departure since the last time I posted, but life intervenes.

The Heavenly Sanctuary

The Heavenly Sanctuary is vast and glorious in coparison with the earthly sanctuary, which was but a "faint reflection." Therefore, its' vastness can only be dimly viewed. Even from that dim view, we can deduce a great deal. According to the Bible, the earthly sanctuary was built upon a "pattern" which was given to Moses. It was also seen by others in vision. The question here arises, can mortal man behold the glorious heavenly sanctuary (with all of is inner workings( and be able to adequately describe it? In fact, which will be proven later, mortal men could not describe it adequately; so they had to be shown a pattern which described (at least symbolically) the workings therein. In other words, the earthly sanctuary was made after a pattern which was not the true sanctuary, but a symbolic pattern which could only be understood in similtudes such as "like the appearance of brass,", "like the Son of Man", etc. Our understanding thus far about the sanctuary service is predicated on our belief that there were two apartments in an actual building located in some heavenly sphere. Conversely, although we can glean a great deal of knowledge from this "pattern", it is obvious that it is just a prelude and a primer leading to greater knowledge and truth that can be gleaned from a new view of old truth.

As I mentioned early on, the one aspect of the sanctuary which has received little attention is the subject of the Holy Shekinah. But before broaching the nature of Shekinah, I would like to state what we are looking for, and put forth what I have come to understand about it--and its implications. The things that emerge are wonderfully complex in their simplicity and cannot be expressed fully until we understand how they came to be in the first place.

The Kingdom of God has been called a mystery and a secret. It is a mystery and a secret that begs to be told. The psalmist states in Psalms 27:5, "in the time of trouble, He shall hide me in His Pavilion; in the secret of His Tabernacle shall He hide me." Matthew 24:15 states, "when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the holy place." The secret of His Pavilion and the holy place are one and the same. The question arises--is this simply a faith procedure, or does it have physical applications as well? The answer to this question contains far more than we can imagine! We have to go to the visions of the prophets to find out about this secret "place." However, the key to the visions can only be found in one prophet alone. That prophet is Ezekiel.
