I have never before considered the tabernacle and the priesthood together, but this week I have seen something further concerning this: the Lord’s heart’s desire is the building, the main emphasis of the Bible is life and building, and the tabernacle (the building of God) is actually the same as the priesthood (the built up […]
The Church is Composed of God’s Redeemed People as a Spiritual House and a Priesthood
After seeing that the entire Bible speaks mainly of life and building, we today come to the matter of the tabernacle and the priesthood: the tabernacle is the priesthood, and the church is both a spiritual house and the priesthood. The basic and central revelation of the Bible are life and building; from Gen. 2 all […]
Seeing that Life and Building are the Basic and Central Revelation of the Bible
The entire Bible speaks of life and building, and when we look at the priesthood in the book of Exodus we realize that it is inseparable from the building of God. As one of the hymns says, holy priests are living stones (see Hymns #849). The building in the type of the tabernacle and the […]
Experiencing Christ at the Two Altars to be Incorporated into God as seen in Psa. 84
Psalm 84 is a wonderful and mysterious psalm speaking of the psalmist’s appreciation and longing for the house of God; the two altars are mentioned in particular, as they refer to the leading consummations of the work of the incarnated Triune God for us to be incorporated into God.

The Passover, […]

Being those who Know our God and who Show Strength and Take Action (Dan. 11:32)
![Knowing God can strengthen us. Many times we are weak because we do not know God. Our strength depends on the degree of our knowledge of God. Only those who know God will show strength and take action [Dan. 11:32]. To take action means “to expand.” Those who know God will be strong to expand their horizons and extend their boundaries and break new ground for God. On the earth today God needs those who would know Him in this way. W. Lee, Crucial Truths in the Holy Scriptures](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Knowing-God-can-strengthen-us.-Many-times-we-are-weak-because-we-do-not-know-God2.jpg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1)
Our desire as human beings created in God’s image is to know God – we yearn not just to know about God but to know Him personally, intimately, by being in Him and by being one with Him. We are created in God’s image and according to His likeness, and nothing on earth satisfies us […]
