Hello Marilyn and Doves
Your post from which I am responding.
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2014/marilyna511-2.htm
I am always fascinated when I read from Christians who give credence
to " the so called desecration of the holy of Holies," as though IT
were holy.
Holy of Holies is NOT in the KJV Bible ! I don't know where that term came from, do you?
The Third temple (is) A BUILDING or STRUCTURE, MADE WITH HANDS, and
[some] look upon [IT] as if THAT [structure/BUILDING] were HOLY to God.
IT IS NOT !
IT is not " The Temple of God !" Neither will it house " the most holy place."
That structure IS A BUILDING MADE WITH HANDS, is it not ?
I am not clear where your beliefs are in this matter, so I will elaborate.
Wasn't
the Curtain torn from top to bottom which separated the " most holy
place" where only the high priest was allowed to enter, and also where
the Ark of the covenant rested ?
The ARK is not holy ! WHY ?
Because JESUS IS ALL that the ARK represented, and in HIM REDEMPTION for
us all has been made, and ALL the commandments ARE FULFILED in Him.
For
[ Christ is NOT entered into [holy places] made with hands,] WHICH ARE
THE [FIGURE] OF THE TRUE(;) BUT [into heaven itself,] NOW to appear in
the presence of God [ for us(:) ]
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, AS THE HIGH PRIEST ENTERETH INTO THE HOLY PLACE EVERY YEAR WITH BLOOD OF OTHERS (;)
FOR THEN MUST HE OFTEN HAVE SUFFERED SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD (:)
BUT NOW [ ONCE] IN THE END OF THE WORLD HATH HE APPEARED TO PUT AWAY SIN BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF.
Hebrews 9:24-26 KJV
What THEN is the HOLY PLACE ?
Know ye not that YE are the [Temple of God,] AND THAT THE [SPIRIT OF GOD] DWELLETH IN YOU ? 1 Cor 3:16 KJV
The Spirit of God being part of the Godhead, thus IS GOD.
1 John 5:7 KJV
For there are THREE that bear record in heaven, THE FATHER, THE WORD and THE HOLY GHOST(:) AND THESE THREE ARE [ONE.]
Also in some OTHER translations of the Bible Revelation 4:2 is quoted
as (someone or something) sat on the throne. The KJV reads (ONE) sat on the throne.
John knew EXACTLY WHO was sitting on the throne !
And so should all of US !
What book do we as believers hold as The Pure Word of God ?
or Do you believe that there IS A pure word of God ?
I DO, because God promised to Preserve IT !
Psalms 12: 6,7 KJV
7) Thou SHALT KEEP THEM O LORD, THOU SHALT PRESERVE THEM ( FROM THIS GENERATION FOR EVER.)
I believe HE HAS and WILL, continue to preserve them, AFTER ALL
remember, that John told us that IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE " WORD" and
the WORD was GOD and the WORD was with God.
Will GOD be forever ? YES and so will HIS WORD.
God created Adam, and we are all the offspring of Adam through Shem, Ham, and Japheth. ALL of US
We
also know that Noah the father of Shem Ham and Japheth WAS PERFECT IN
HIS GENERATIONS, therefore likewise were his sons, and THUS ALSO ARE WE.
NO giants in our bloodline. PERFECT in our generations.
OUR BODIES ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD !
NOT A BUILDING OR STRUCTURE MADE WITH HANDS, [ NOR BY THE MINGLING OF THE IRON AND CLAY] AS SPOKEN OF BY DANIEL THE PROPHET.
The KJV translation got it RIGHT !
THERE MUST COME A FALLING AWAY OF THE CHURCH [FIRST,] THE SEPARATION OF THE WHEAT AND THE CHAFT.
Which is exactly what is happening among the churches TODAY.
THIS IS A [SIGN] TO US [THE FAITHFUL ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST] IN THESE LAST TIMES.
1 Timothy 4:1 KJV
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, THAT IN THE
LATTERS TIME(S) [SOME] SHALL (DEPART FROM THE FAITH,) GIVING HEED TO
[SEDUCING SPIRITS,] AND [DOCTRINES] OF DEVILS(;) SPEAKING [LIES IN
HYPOCRISY(;) ]
HAVING [THEIR] CONSCIENCE SEARED WITH A HOT IRON;
Paul told us in 2 Thessalonians beginning with verse 2
Don't be shaken in mind !
or troubled
neither by (s)pirit,
nor by word
nor by letter as from us
that the [ day of Christ] is at hand(.)
(THE DAY OF CHRIST IS [ WRATH])
3) Let NO MAN deceive you
by ANY means(:)
for [THAT] day shall NOT come,
EXCEPT
there come a FALLING AWAY [FIRST] ( falling away of the church)
AND that [MAN OF SIN] be revealed,
the son of perdition(;) ( antichrist)
4) who opposeth and exalteth [himself] above ALL that is called God(,)
OR that is worshipped(;)
so that [HE AS GOD SITTETH IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD]
( a body (defiled,) not perfect as God had created man, but defiled as the Iron and Clay of Daniel)
shewing [himself] that he is God. ( NO ONE ELSE, not even ISRAEL)
7) For the [mystery of iniquity] DOTH ALREADY WORK(:)
( iniquity means wickedness, and wickedness has been in the world from the time of Adam's sin.)
ONLY HE ( the Holy Ghost) who Now Letteth WILL LET, ( the Holy Ghost who
abides in us [our body the temple of God] THE RESTRAINER)
UNTIL HE ( THE CHURCH BODY, [US] HAVING THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY GHOST) IS TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY. ( Rapture)
The HOLY GHOST is a (HE.) The FATHER is a (HE.) The SON is a (HE.)
GOD the FATHER, the SON, The HOLY GHOST IS A (HE.)
Not male and female as SOME are teaching !
8) And [ THEN] shall [THAT WICKED] ( antichrist) be revealed,
whom [the LORD] shall CONSUME
WITH THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH,
AND SHALL [DESTROY] WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING(:)
( when Christ comes in power and great glory at the END.) ( not the Rapture)
The
Falling Away is A SIGN for all of us who are watching and follow the
truth of the gospel of Christ, THAT WE KNOW THE TIME IS VERY NEAR FOR
OUR CATCHING AWAY (Rapture)
If we are NOW witnessing this { Falling Away of the church} does it not
SHOW us just how close his return for us is at the Rapture?
YES; I believe it does.
I
have not quoted any theologian or pastor, or teacher, but shown you in
the Bible clearly that there IS NO CONTRADICTION concerning these
passages.
Both the [ FALLING AWAY,] and the [RAPTURE] of the Church is present in these verses.
One comes BEFORE the OTHER as a SIGN for us.
Remember that God said in Amos 3:7 KJV
SURELY the LORD WILL DO NOTHING, BUT HE REVEALETH [HIS SECRET] UNTO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.
If you will ; go back and read about the TABERNACLE that was set up in the desert during the Exodus.
IT was called " The Tabernacle" not the "Temple of God."
And
the STRUCTURE was made of SKIN, and ALL that was inside came from the
EARTH. The gold, the silver, the precious stones, the wood, the curtain,
even the shew bread came from the earth; WHICH GOD MADE, AS DID HE MAKE
US FROM THE DUST OF THE EARTH.
HIS HANDIWORK,
The Candlesticks were of pure gold, and (represented) ALL of God's
Devine appointments ( Feasts) His Holy convocation's. Which Israel was
commanded to
[proclaim] in their times and OFFER and OFFERING by fire, IN HIS DAY.
ALL these Feasts ( Holy Convocations) are HIS, NOT Israel's nor The Church's
THEY ARE HIS APPOINTED TIMES.
ALL that pertain to OUR REDEMPTION for
the SIN of the first MAN Adam, WERE FULFILLED IN CHRIST when he suffered
on that cross and was raised up by the Father for US is COMPLETED.
We the church " The Temple of God" ONLY NOW AWAIT the " Catching Away" Rapture.
The Jewish Temple that [THEY] Israel SEEK TO BUILD , the
antichrist IS going to (CAUSE) THEIR sacrifices and oblations
to CEASE.
And IT will be DESOLATE.
THAT IS IT concerning THAT building and structure ! PERIOD
The DEFILEMENT of " the Temple of God" is in the BODY of the MAN of
WICKEDNESS/ the son of perdition. HE DEFILES HIS OWN BODY/ TEMPLE !
Israel will SEE [ THAT] and will witness [IT] stand where [IT] ought NOT.
( in the place you have shown as the holy of holies, but IT IS NOT HOLY.)
Their eyes will be opened and THEY/ ISRAEL will FLEE just before WINTER.
Matthew 24:20 KJV
But [ pray ye] ( Israel) that your flight be NOT in the WINTER, NEITHER on the Sabbath.
Mark 13:18 KJV
And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter(.)
Mark 13:14 KJV
But WHEN YE (Israel) SHALL [SEE] THE ABOMINATION OF [DESOLATION,]
(spoken of by Daniel the prophet,) STANDING WHERE [IT] OUGHT NOT
( let him that readeth understand,) THEN let THEM that be IN JUDAEA FLEE into the mountains.
WHY?
( let him that readeth understand) ?
Because IT is not A STRUCTURE OR BUILDING, THAT IS DEFILED !
ISAIAH said of the antichrist/ The Beast/ the ABOMINATION that defiles HIS temple/body.
Isaiah 14:16 KJV
THEY (Israel, the Twelve Tribes) that SEE THEE
(Antichrist) shall NARROWLY LOOK UPON THEE, AND CONSIDER THEE, SAYING, (
Is This The MAN that made The Earth to TREMBLE, that DID shake The
KINGDOMS(;)
17) That made The WORLD as a Wilderness(,) and destroyed The Cities thereof(;) That Opened Not The House of HIS prisoners ?
(GOD EVEN TELLS (us) IN THESE PASSAGES (who) THE ANTICHRIST IS !)
19)
But THOU ( antichrist) Art Cast Out of Thy Grave LIKE AN ABOMNINABLE
(BRANCH,) and AS The Rainment of those that are slain, Thrust Through
with A SWORD, ( the sword of the Lord) that Go Down to the STONES of the
Pit(;)
( stones represent individuals) as a Carcase Troden under feet(.) plural.
20)
Thou shalt NOT be Joined with THEM ( Israel) in burial(,) BECAUSE THOU
(antichrist) HAST DESTROYED THY LAND, AND SLAIN (THY PEOPLE) (:)
THE (SEED) OF EVILDOERS SHALL NEVER BE RENOWNED.
21) PREPARE (Slaughter) for HIS CHILDREN for the INIQUITY ( wickedness)
of Their Fathers(;) THAT (THEY) DO NOT RISE, NOR POSSESS THE LAND, NOR
FILL THE FACE OF THE WORLD WITH CITIES(.)
Can YOU ALL SEE who this (man) of SIN is ? !
A Clue :
Obadiah 1:12, 13 KJV
The Structure/ Building called the Temple IS (CAUSED) TO BE [DESOLATE,] NOT DEFILED !]
Daniel tells us that The Third TEMPLE, that structure/ building is made DESOLATE by the antichrist, (The abomination)
Desolate NOT Defiled.
The structure is made DESOLATE.
The Temple of God( the body) of the antichrist is DEFILED.
What [caused] Judas to do what he did ?
Satan ENTERED INTO HIM; his body was DEFILED.
DESOLATE means: WITHOUT INHABITANTS; ABANDANED; IN A CONDITION OF NEGLECT OR RUIN.
DEFILE means: TO MAKE FOUL OR IMPURE; TO MAKE DIRTY; POLLUTE:
TO PUT TO AN UNWORTHY USE; (SPOIL THE PURITY OF SOMETHING NOBLE OR SACRED:) TO BRING DISHONOR UPON:
This is what the antichrist does to his own body.
HIM shall God DESTROY.
1 Corinthians 3:17 KJV
IF any MAN DEFILE
the Temple of God (his own body,) HIM shall God DESTROY(;) for The
Temple of God IS HOLY, [WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE.]
Did this not happen back in Genesis chapter 6) where the sons of God took the daughters of men and bear children unto them ?
YES..... and THEY were all DESTROYED by God in the FLOOD because their bodies were DEFILED.
Only Noah found GRACE in the eyes of the Lord, AND WAS PERFECT IN HIS GENERATION(S).
AND HERE WE ALL ARE TODAY !
DESECRATION
means: The [act] of (depriving) something of [its] sacred [character,]
or the disrespectful or contemptuous [treatment] of THAT which is [held
to be sacred or holy] by a group or individual.
THAT third temple is NOT sacred or holy to God !
It IS going
to be held sacred and holy to Israel, BUT Daniel said that HE the
antichrist is going to CAUSE (THEIR) sacrifices and oblations to CEASE.
The antichrist will stand in THE PLACE THAT ISRAEL HOLDS TO BE SACRED.
To THEM that would be the same place that God caused the CURTAIN to be torn from top to bottom at JESUS death on the cross.
GOD has ALREADY shown [them and us,] that the holy place is NO MORE when it comes to THAT temple.
Today we can go before GOD in prayer and worship before HIS throne in HEAVEN. There is NO NEED for that temple !
JESUS
IS OUR HIGH PRIEST, OUR MEDIATOR before God the Father. The holy
place IS ALREADY UNVAILED. The curtain is torn down !
Hebrews 4:14 KJV
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that PASSED INTO THE
HEAVENS, JESUS THE SON OF GOD, let us hold fast our profession.
Hebrews 5:5 KJV
So
also Christ glorified [not] himself to be made an high priest(;) BUT HE
THAT SAID UNTO HIM, THOU ART MY SON, TO DAY HAVE I BEGOTTEN THEE.
God the Father made HIM (Jesus) our high priest, and through HIS NAME we pray unto the Father.
Hope
you will consider these words and STOP thinking that The Jew's third
temple has meaning to God. It does NOT. It only means something to
Israel, because they are temporarily blinded to the truth of Christ(.)
BUT;
When [this event happens,] THEIR eyes will be opened.
God said to Israel IN the book of Acts 7:49 KJV
HEAVEN is MY THRONE, and THE EARTH is MY FOOTSTOOL(:)
WHAT HOUSE WILL YE BUILD ME ? SAITH THE LORD(:) OR WHAT IS THE PLACE OF MY REST ?
Isaiah 1:13 KJV
Bring NO MORE Vain oblations(;) incense is an ABOMINATION unto me(;) the
new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies(,) I cannot away
with(;)|[ it is iniquity,] (wickedness) even the solemn meeting(.)
Isaiah
1:14 KJV [Your] New Moons and [Your] appointed feasts my soul
hateth(:) THEY are a trouble unto me(;) I AM WEARY TO BEAR THEM.
NOW church please open your eyes to the scriptures and KNOW that
YOU are "The Temple of God" and we are HOLY unto the Lord. We are
caught up AFTER the FALLING AWAY of the church IS finished.
WHICH IS HAPPENING BEFORE OUR VERY EYES !
Look Up and Lift Up your heads, OUR Redemption draws neigh !
God Bless you all
