THE KEYNOTE OF THE SPIRITUAL TEMPLE OF
EZEKIEL, IS FELLOWSHIP.
When we came to the cross where God
gave us The Spirit of Christ
and placed us in The Kingdom of Christ, we
met Christ.
When we know The Baptism with Holy
Spirit, by Christ, into The Spirit of God.
We have come to God The Father.
Both live in us by their Spirits.
It is not to be THE WORK OF GOD AND
CHRIST THAT WE HAVE KNOWN, THAT THE BELIEVER CAN STAND UPON, for inheritance,
nor the knowledge ABOUT GOD OR
CHRIST. We are called to love Christ, and love God, Our Father,
whom we are to love
with our whole heart.
Our knowledge is to be of a personal
nature with God and Christ. Although we cannot see them, we know
them as Persons,
in whom we trust and know the reality,
of who they truly are.
This is why those In Christ will be
judged as to doing the Will of God The Father, whom they are to have known.
This is why those who come to the cross are
to Love Christ and do his commandments which is essential to being Baptised
with Holy Spirit, so that one is brought to The Father who is God.
THAT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE REALITY OF BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON IS KNOWN
WHICH IS THE KEYNOTE OF TRUE FELLLOWSHIP ALSO WITH THOSE WHO LOVE GOD AND HIS
SON.
1 John 5:
1-5 1 John 1: 3 John 14: 23
For God so loved the world
and
the good seed out of it stands for
the
Sons of The Kingdom
The son of Man will send his
angels
to weed out his kingdom
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure
and a pearl
The kingdom of heaven is like a net and
catches
all
kinds of fish
Angels will separate the wicked, who
disregard God’s will
from
the righteous
Every teacher who is instructed about The
Kingdom of Heaven
brings
out of his storeroom, new treasures
as
well as old.
The Good Seed becomes a son through
Christ’s work
as
Lamb and Baptiser.
THE SPIRITUAL TEMPLE
OF EZEKIEL.
Where is this
Spiritual Temple? Certainly, for
now, in the Heavens, because in The Eternal City of The Kingdom of God
there will be no Temple.
The Spiritual
Temple is in The Heavens where those who respond to The Gospel of God and
Christ are Spiritually placed and are either in the Spiritual Kingdom of Christ
or The Kingdom of Heaven which is of God.
It is
Spiritual in that one cannot see where they are but can know where they
are. It cannot be seen but it is real.
In a vision Ezekiel was taken up onto a high mountain, which on its South
side, were buildings.
It was The
Spiritual Temple in The Heavens. While
it was in heaven, people were to enter into it. But how could this be when heaven had been closed to mankind
since the time of the fall, according to Jesus. And as a result when righteous men died they could not enter
heaven but were held in Paradise. John 3: 13
The vision of Ezekiel’s Spiritual
Temple was prophetic of an open heaven into which mankind could enter and know
God Himself and of the one who would make The Way into the heavens so that man
could enter in. Jesus was That One who opened up The Way
into Heaven for all mankind by his death on the cross, when God’s curse on all
mankind was revoked.
This Temple in the heavens is Spiritual
because of the description of the buildings which would defy the possibility
of man building it. It is The
Temple in The Heavens where those Holy Ones of The Old Testament and those dead
and those alive of New Testament Dispensation are Spiritually together in
reality, now with God and Christ.
The Holy Ones who had been judged by God to be righteous had waited in
Paradise for the work of the cross. Raised at that time, they ascended
with Christ to heaven and became the foundation of The Spiritual Temple
where they wait even now, to fulfil their role with those In Christ who will
inherit to reign together with Christ for one thousand years. The
Temple was to come into existence when the Cornerstone was ready to be
put in place with The Foundation Stones. Christ as The
Cornerstone, and The Holy Ones, are the Foundation of The
Temple.
Jesus looked forward to the building of this Temple, when he spoke
of A Temple in Jerusalem, saying that if it were destroyed, that he would
replace it, or raise it again, in three days, and he did, establishing
The Spiritual Temple with Living Stones who are those of The Body of
Christ, who are Temples of The Living God.
It was at his trial and while on the cross that accusations were brought
against him for saying this. He did not say a word of explanation, as it
was a spiritual fact which would not have been understood. It was
not Herod’s physical temple that Jesus had in mind, but The Spiritual Temple,
with entrance given to it, not only to Israel but to all people of all
nations. It was not his physical body, but the Spiritual Body, that
was to be created that he had in mind.

EZEKIEL’S TEMPLE REVEALS GOD’S REQUIREMENT OF MAN, IN MAN COMING TO GOD
BY THE WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST AS THE SON OF GOD, THE LAMB OF GOD AND BAPTISER
WITH HOLY SPIRIT.
John 1: 29-33.
Ezekiel’s Temple gave revelation by its floor plans that the approach to
God remained progressive for the Christian, as it was in The Tabernacle, but
it would be at the price of a man’s life rather than that of an animal.
There are obvious differences in The Tabernacle from that of Ezekiel’s
Temple. Solid gold covered most of the furniture in The Tabernacle
that spoke of God’s Holiness and Righteousness; yet God did not inhabit The
Tabernacle, but the gold, symbolised His presence.
On the other hand Ezekiel’s Temple, is a Spiritual structure in The
Heavens, which apparently is lined with wood, which is a basic earthly
material in a Spiritual Temple, in a Spiritual Place. This would
indicate that wood symbolises man who as a Living Stone, is consequently
built into The Temple. In Ezekiel’s Temple there is no gold because
God Himself and Christ are in this Temple and while it is Spiritual, it is
meant to grow which is indicated by the rooms that expand or grow
narrower. There are gates, doors, rooms, tables, and altars but there is
no mention of what they are made. Only measurements are given.
GOD, FOR MAN’S GOOD GAVE.
Ezekiel was repeatedly commanded to pay
attention to all that he saw and especially concerning The Entrances and
Exits which are to be known because they are The Plan of God being
essential for progress in the journey, from the World to The Throne of God,
which now applies, not only for Israel
but for all mankind.

PROGRESS FROM THE WORLD TO THE THRONE

THERE ARE THREE KINGDOMS IN EXISTENCE NOW WHICH MANKIND, TO COME TO GOD
MUST GO THROUGH TO ENTER THE FOURTH KINGDOM:
THE ETERNAL KINGDOM OF GOD. Ephesians 5: 5
The Kingdom
of The World. Is Death and Darkness,
and man in it is Darkness and under the wrath of God, because they belong to
this Kingdom. God shall judge them.
Romans
6:23 Ephesians 5:8 Revelation 20:15
The Kingdom
of Christ. Is in the Death Realm. It’s a Spiritual Kingdom of which Christ is
The Prince. Entrance is gained by
coming in faith and repentance TOWARDS GOD and faith in Jesus. The believer is placed here by God, who has
forgiven past sins, and placed The Spirit of Christ in the spirit of the believer.
Christ gives
them a gift. While they are still in
The Death Realm, God has broken THE DOMINION OF ITS DARKNESS, but they are still under the Bondage of its
Laws, and must therefore be delivered, raised out of Death and Darkness.
The only One who can do this is God The
Father, who had to exert His Power to
raise Jesus out of this Realm. They
will be judged by God The Father.
They are
SAVED from The Judgement of The Lake of Fire.

The Kingdom
of Heaven will
be entered into through an Instantaneous Spiritual Process done in God’s order
of work, which when accomplished gives entrance from The Kingdom of Christ.
They have
been Spiritually Circumcised of Death and Darkness, forgiven all sins and seen
as holy and blameless before God. The
believer has come into God’s Spirit, and will speak the spiritual language of
The Kingdom of God.
They will be
judged by Christ : the criteria being the doing of the Will of The Father.
The Eternal
Kingdom of God is where the believer can truly say, “I have entered Eternal Life”
which will only be when all of God’s purposes have been fulfilled on this earth
and in The Heavens and Eternal Life with God and Christ will be on A New Earth
and in The New Heavens. All Judgements have been completed.
Entrance
shall be to those who did the will of God The Father.
The Eternal
Kingdom of God is not to be confused with the present Spiritual Kingdom of
Heaven, into which entrance can be known now through Baptism with Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 6: 18 2 Corinthians

PROGRESS OF BEING SAVED IS THROUGH THE KINGDOMS IN THIS LIFETIME, STEP
BY STEP.
THIS HAS BEEN ORDAINED BY GOD BECAUSE HE IS HOLY.
PROGRESS IS THROUGH THE KINGDOMS BY ELECTED ENTRANCES AND EXITS, WHICH
ARE TO BE FULLY PREACHED ABOUT TO ALL PEOPLES.
GOD HAS EMPHATICALLY SAID SO.
Ezekiel 43: 10-11 44: 5
This command
was given for the people of Israel before the redemptive work of God and Christ
was given for the world, which now continues to apply not only to Israel but
the whole world whom God said that He Loved and ordained the Way for all men
who would seek Him to find Him.
John 3: 16.
Entrances and Exits are Not to be ignored.
They are not to be ignored because The Kingdoms, that of God and Christ,
are revealed and confirmed by The plan of The Temple and by Jesus himself
in the parables of Matthew 13: 37-42, Colossians 1:
13-14 [Christ’s
Kingdom], Matthew 13: 47-50 [ The Kingdom of
Heaven] , Ephesians 5: 5-7 [ both].
The epistles of Paul are on going, in that they confirm Ezekiel’s
Exits and Entrances in the progressive journey, in such
verses as Colossians 1: 27-28 Romans 8:
10-11
Hebrews 10: 22 1 Peter 1: 2
Romans 5: 9-11 Romans 4: 7-8.
The Progressive Journey through The Kingdoms is so ordered by God’s Stipulations and
Regulations, [ the Spiritual Work of the cross and Baptism with Holy
Spirit] which state the approach which is the necessity of The Way to
God The Father.
This calls for man to obey, if he would to know The Way to God The
Father.
There is a progressive journey, yet today
when one comes believing to the cross, they are told that they are born
again at that point. They came out of the world and believe
that they are immediately in The very Throne Room of God. This is an
amazing assumption of what is not true.
The Entrances and the Exits are not being observed.
Consider mankind who
is under the curse and judgement of death, and is Darkness; and they believe
that all they have to do is to say ‘I Believe’ and Be Born Again? That
in itself is incredulous. Not that with God it would be impossible, but
according to His Plan of Progressive Salvation, it is not possible because
God is holy.
The Entrances and Exits are NOT being observed.
Because of coming to the cross one is delivered from the judgement of
The World, by the powerful work of the blood and all that this
promises. Consequently the believer is saved from Eternal judgement in The
Lake of Fire.
But there must be a further strong work of God and
Christ, apart from The Cross and its work, called Spiritual Circumcision, by
The Instantaneous Process, (See Come to The Baptism With Holy Spirit), in order
to be delivered from The Realm of Death and all its Laws.
Romans 8: 1-2.
The Truth is that the work of the sacrifice of The Guilt Offering,
which Jesus was, NEVER GAVE ENTRANCE INTO WHERE GOD WAS in The Tabernacle
nor does it by the cross. While God Himself, was in Jesus by His Spirit
reconciling The World to Himself on the cross, the focus is the blood, that
Jesus, as God’s Lamb, shed for God’s purpose, to fulfil His Criteria of The
Blood of Genesis 9: 5-6.
It is the initial
Repentance towards God and faith in Jesus in the sacrifice of the cross,
that qualifies one to go on to receive The Promised Spirit that Jesus
said we were to ask of him in John 7: 37-39 This is when we are
Born Again, not by blood, but by God’s Spirit, when one is Baptised with Holy
Spirit, by Christ and receives forgiveness for all sins, by God ;
not just past sins as at the cross.
Note Well:
The Death Realm is the gap between the cross and to the receiving of The
Promised Spirit of God. We are to be taken down into the gap, by Christ,
to be raised out of it by God The Father. The cross does not extend
across ‘the gap’, but because of the cross, we are taken through to deliverance
from The Death Realm, by God and Christ. This is worked out in The
‘Instantaneous Spiritual Process, described in Romans 6: 3-14, Colossians
2: 9-14, which is often incorrectly applied when one is water baptised,
which is error, because one is physical and the other profoundly, powerfully,
Spiritual.
The cross, by the blood, is but The First Step in faith towards God,
which qualifies us to be Born Again, by The Spirit, The Living
Water. Galatians 3: 14.
Isaiah 53: 10
Galatians 3: 22 Colossians 1: 19-20
Acts 20: 21 Galatians 3:14
John 3: 3-6 Colossians 2:13
Romans 4:8, 3:25, 4:7
Ephesians 1: 13-14 1 Peter1:2.
FIRST THINGS FIRST ALWAYS.
The disciples who walked with
Jesus as The Son of Man, believed in The One True God, and in Jesus, as The Son
of God, The Messiah The Christ of God. After his resurrection Jesus
breathed, into their spirit, his Spirit, making their spirit alive.
They had known redemption in God’ sight as their faith was in God and in Jesus
as to who he was. They did understand in time, who and what
Jesus was, in God’s purposes.
John 16: 25-33 Acts 11:15-18*
They were commanded by Jesus just before his ascension, to wait
in order to be Baptised with Holy Spirit, which would occur when he
took up his heavenly position as Christ and Lord.
At Pentecost they were
Baptised with The Spirit of God, and it was then that they were Born
Again by God’s Spirit. ** It was then that they became New Creatures
and are where? In Christ!.
On The Day of Pentecost they were the first to be Baptised with Holy Spirit and
were given entrance, by God Himself, into The newly created Body of Christ, and
are now a part of The Temple’s foundation.
Because of the cross they had spiritually entered The Kingdom
of Christ, then exited and entered The Kingdom of Heaven at
Baptism with Holy Spirit; that is Progressive Salvation is to :
First ---receive The Spirit of Christ. Romans 8: 10
Colossians 1: 27 Romans 4:7
Next--- receive God’s
Spirit.
Romans 8: 11 Colossians 1: 28 Romans 4:8
The Story of Acts 8: 10-17 and other events, give further confirmation to this
fact.
The disciples and Jesus knew The Temple of their day and understood the
restrictions and order in that temple, in the approach to The Holy Place of
God, yet because of Baptism with Holy Spirit were given Spiritual entrance then
into The Inner Sanctuary of The Spiritual Temple, which had been
impossible before their Baptism.
Consider The Tabernacle with its plan of entry into the courtyard but
never into the sanctuaries, which was ONLY AS A PRIEST and in God’s strict
order of Stipulations and Regulations.
Defy that order and The Priest would die! Neglect to be Baptised with
Holy Spirit and one does not enter Eternal life with God and Christ His Son.

2: 31-36, Colossians 1: 27 then 28

Ephesians 2: 6 Acts 8: 12-17 Mark
16: 16-18
THE PROGRESSIVE JOURNEY FROM THE CROSS TO THE THRONE OF GOD IS TO BEGIN
THROUGH THE ENTRANCES AND THE EXITS.
The seeker comes to the cross. What is the seeker thinking ?
Is the seeker’s need or motive in line with God’s provision?
Those who come to the cross believing for salvation can be those who
have previously never heard of the Gospel of God and Christ, or they are in
association with Christian friends and have heard about the need of
salvation. Many come from different roads of experience, cultures, home
and social circumstances. All of which will have strong effects, as to
one’s motive and ideas for coming to the cross. There are many
Roads to the cross, but only One to God. They could be challenged
by “Do you want to be Born Again? Do you want to come to Jesus?” or
moved by their own desires “I want Eternal Life. I want to go
to heaven. I want to be saved. I want peace”.
The seeker may know facts about Jesus, but they must come to the cross
to meet the person of Jesus, and then know his work as Baptiser with Holy
Spirit and this being fulfilled, they will truly be able to say “ I believe in
Jesus Christ.”
Those who come to the cross with the motive to repent to God and have
faith in Jesus as their Saviour, are the ones who will go on, because they came
to give themselves and not just to get, according to their own ideas, or to
fulfil their motives. They have exited from The World and entered The
Kingdom of Christ, where they are not to believe that they have Eternal
Life, but that they are on a sure road to Eternal Life.
To enter Christ’s Kingdom, is to know Jesus who is the one who knows the way to
God The Father.
John 14 : 6 Jesus said “ I am The Way to The Father and
no one comes unto Him but by me.”
Romans 8: 10 Galatians 4: 6 Colossians 1:
27 John 6: 37-40 Colossians 1:27-28.
For those in The Kingdom of Christ, i.e. in The Courts of The Temple, Christ is
their hope of Glory, of becoming a Son of God.
TO BE IN CHRIST’S KINGDOM IS TO BE IN THE
COURTS
OF THE TEMPLE
It is to be remembered that Christ’s present Spiritual Kingdom is in The
Death Realm. Christ, as The Prince of his kingdom has known in his work
as The Son of Man, the laws of the Realm of Death and their effects on
men of the world : whereas God The Father can only abide within His Spirit and
not in Death.
Ezekiel’s Temple Plan of Progress begins at the cross at the east gate
and gives entrance to Christ’s
Kingdom, which is the first Kingdom entered into as one exits from The World.
The believer in The Courts is to love Christ and to obey his
commands. He is The Prince. The believer is to know God’s
will through him. The believer is not to trust in Jesus as God
because he is Mediator between God and man.
Jesus’ commands are : to love and to forgive each other, to be
Baptised in Holy Spirit. In order to move from Christ’s Spiritual Kingdom
into God’s Realm, The Kingdom of Heaven, they must ask Christ to be Baptiser.
Christ’s Spirit is carved Spiritually by God into the spirit of the
believer, in order to be able to receive The Baptism with Holy Spirit of God,
which is not of the same Spirit and Person as Christ. This is a great
blessing laying great responsibility to respond to God’s plan and purpose for
doing this initial work.
This applies in like manner to all mankind who continues to be created in the
image of God, by God’s order. Genesis 9: 6
They will be without excuse for not seeking God, just as those who are
Unbaptised for neglecting such a Great Salvation of being Spiritually
Circumcised from The Realm of Death and its laws.
The Courts are to be
the place where the redeemed believer is to come to know personally Christ in
their daily commonplace of life, but know that The Courts are NOT THE PLACE
TO STAY. While having a continual commitment to Christ, the believer
is to be aware that they have not come to God Himself, who is in The Temple
beyond The Courts.
The walls of The courts are prophetic by the engraving of palm trees,
which is very significant because the way that the Palm tree is formed is the
binding of each growth into one, which is the picture of The Body of Christ.
In The Courts and The Sanctuaries God resounds again and again by the
Palm trees giving witness to the believer to seek to gain entrance into The
Body of Christ through Christ’s Work, as Baptiser with Holy
Spirit, which is essential to exit from The Courts, and gain entrance to The
Sanctuaries, where God is.
It was with palm branches that Israel welcomed and rejoiced in Jesus as
Messiah and their coming King which held great significance, for those who
looked for his coming. Whereas to the believer in The Courts they are significant
as a message to come to God through Christ, and to those in The Sanctuaries,
they are the witness to our coming to God through Christ’s work as Lamb and
Baptiser.
There are Sacrificial Points, and Priests who are from the
Sanctuaries, whom God has appointed to teach and encourage those in The
Courts, to gain entrance to The Sanctuaries, to be ‘In Christ’.
Ephesians 4: 12-13
There are Gates giving entrance to the Temple Courts, facing North, East
and South, but it is always by the East Gate that any Exit or Entrance of
spiritual significance in God’s sight is registered as progress in one’s
Spiritual journey.
There are Rooms and Doors which are to be the focus, for those in The
Courts. Because ‘as
a room’, they represent the believer who in their knowledge of Christ
only, they will get narrower the higher they go up
because of the lack the knowledge of God and God’s Truth and
Purposes. It is His plan that we become ‘storerooms’ of His
knowledge.
Therefore the believer, must give their lives as a living sacrifice, in
order to be Baptised with Holy Spirit and Fire by Christ in order to be in
God’s Spirit who will teach us His Truths, and to become His Storeroom.

Definition of
‘In Christ’ Colossians 1:27-28
Those who are Baptised with Holy Spirit by Christ are then
Baptised by God The Father into a Spiritual Body which is called The Body of Christ,
which is to be In Christ. This is not speaking of the person of
Jesus, BUT THE PLACE WHERE God The Father places the Baptised believer.
God The Father is the ONLY ONE PERSON WHO CAN BY HIS SPIRIT PLACE US IN
THE BODY. ie, IN CHRIST. All ‘In Christ’ are to be
‘Like Jesus’.
Those In Christ are The Church, the elect, and the saints.
Definition of
The Instantaneous Spiritual Process.
It is a powerful Spiritual work which is carried out in
precise order instantaneously and one is NOT In Christ until this is
accomplished.
The believer dies, is crucified with Christ, is Baptised
into Death, by Christ, is raised out of Death by God, is Baptised with Holy
Spirit by Christ, and is Baptised into The Body of Christ by God The Father who
is the only “One” who can do this work. It is in order and
instantaneous. Its work achieves Spiritual Circumcision, from The Death
Realm and its Laws and the believer IS PLACED In Christ by God The Father.
This work is described in, Galatians 2:20
Romans 6: 3-14 Colossians 2: 9-13.
The result is Ephesians 1: 13-14,
1 Cor. 12: 13-18 Rom. 2: 29
Jeremiah 9:25 Colossians
1:28 Matt. 15:13 Jeremiah 36: 27.
THE BELIEVER IS LIFTED UP AND BROUGHT INTO THE INNER COURT:
And from inside The Temple I heard a voice say, “Son of Man
this is The Place of My Throne” This was the voice of The Lord God
Almighty. He is not in The Courts as this is in The Death Realm, which
will call for Christ to be The Baptiser with Holy Spirit.
Ezekiel 44: 1-4 Ezekiel
43:1-12, 17 John 14: 13-17.
The Call is to be Heard, in the spirit of the believer in
The Courts as a result of understanding the Command of Christ to be Baptised in
order to gain entrance inside The Temple where God’s Throne is.
So why is it necessary for the believer to come to The Inner Courts?
To know the strong, instantaneous Spiritual Process.
Today believers of The Courts are called to be Baptised with Holy
Spirit.
Do they know that it is a command of Christ and that it is Christ’s
Heavenly Work as Christ and Lord, in order for them to be taken out The Death
Realm?
Do they have a strong conviction that there is more to know, or,
that there is no further Spiritual work to be done. BECAUSE THE CROSS WAS
SUFFICIENT and that Baptism is just a matter of choice. They must not
believe that it is just for power, or as a subsequent blessing, with no
eternal consequences for neglect.
They must know that The Instantaneous Spiritual Process is the
work of God and Christ in order to be raised out of The Death Realm
and its Laws, which is to exit out of The Courts [Christ’s Kingdom] and be
given entrance into The Sanctuaries [God’s Kingdom of Heaven] to be ‘In
Christ’.
They must know they were redeemed in order to receive The
Promised Spirit of God The Father, in order to be called Sons of God.
Acts 1: 4-5 Acts 2: 31-36 John
1:29 -33 Galatians 3:14 Romans 8:17
Mark 16:14-16
THE BELIEVER COMES IN SPIRIT INTO THE INNER COURT TO THE
ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERING IN ORDER TO BE BAPTISED.
The Altar of Burnt Offering and its work could be said to be the centre, the core, the touch stone, in
The purposes of God, to be Spiritually Circumcised from Death and in man’s
Progressive Spiritual Journey in the believer’s ongoing Christian
life. Because of the work of the cross the believer is to come to
The Altar of Burnt Offering in order that the Chaff which represents the
believer is burnt in order to be Baptised with The Spirit of God, by Christ.
That is to receive The Promised Spirit of God The Father, whose Spirit, as a
result, is over, through, and on the believer.
This is when we are made to drink of The One Spirit of God Himself
and be washed with Living Water and to have ‘Sprinkled Salt’ in the inner man,
which is the work of Romans 6: 3-14, Colossians 2: 9-13, the
reality of which is pictured in Leviticus 1 and in 6: 10-18 To gain
everything new.
The instantaneous Spiritual Process on The Spiritual Altar
of Burnt Offering is carried out as the same Physical
Stipulations as The Burnt Offerings of The Old Testament which allows the
believer, under The New Testament Dispensation, to be Baptised with Holy
Spirit, in order to make us partakers of The New Covenant in order that we
enter The Sanctuary where God is.
All was begun by the Spirit of Christ in The spirit of the
believer and confirmed by The Spirit of God The Father who testifies ‘Jesus is
Lord’ by the Spiritual Language through the believer, that is in
Tongues. Christ’s Full Work on behalf of His Father has been achieved and
confirmed by God to the believer as Jesus said that He would.

Knowledge of the work of the Sacrificial System is helpful here in
giving revelation, understanding and appreciation of the fact that all
the sacrifices of The Old Testament were the Shadow of the Spiritual
requirements for The New Testament believer.
Which is now done Spiritually and not physically because God has said so.
Every detailed sacrifice has its own particular work. Eg. The cross was carried
out according to Old Testament regulations with Jesus as The Lamb given by God
for Himself to fulfil His Criteria of Genesis 9: 5-6 in order to revoke The
Curse. Acts 20:28.
Which happened for us at the cross, but is the First Stage in the progressive
journey to God Himself. The work of The Altar of Burnt Sacrifice, is the
second stage. This is where the believer dies, as a living sacrifice, and
is made alive Spiritually in God, when Baptised with Holy Spirit.
It was at great cost that Jesus the
Son of Man died, whom God saw as a ‘burning stick’ snatched from the fire,
but now as Christ and Lord he is ‘a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap’
as he Baptises with Holy Spirit and Fire. The believer who is the
object of deliverance by God from The Realm of Death and its Laws, is
seen as righteous in His sight. The Altar calls to the believer to
be holy, as they are being saved, in their ongoing Journey into the knowledge
of God The Father.

PROGRESS IN THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY HAS BEEN MADE FROM THE
COURTS AND ENTRANCE INTO THE SANCTUARIES [THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN]
BECAUSE OF BAPTISM WITH HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD THE FATHER
-
WHERE WE ARE UNDER
HIS COVER.
The Prince who is Christ guards The Door of The Outer
Sanctuary. In Ezekiel’s time of the vision of The Temple there was no Way
for man to enter The Sanctuaries let alone heaven because heaven was closed
then. But now entrance is given if the believer fulfils the command to be
Baptised with Holy Spirit by Christ in his God given, exalted, position as
Christ and Lord, who will open The Door of The Outer Sanctuary.
Acts 5: 31 Ezekiel 44: 1-3 John 3: 13
Acts 1 : 4-5 Acts 2: 31-36
The Sanctuaries in God’s plan of The Temple have their foundation elevated
above that of The Courts, and this in itself reveals the difference
between The Courts and The Sanctuaries which complements those who are its
foundation. The believer entering The Outer Sanctuary would notice
that The Door into The Outer Sanctuary is wider than that of The
Inner Sanctuary, that is before them. Its measurements go from 3m.
To 1.5m. This speaks for itself.
In The Sanctuaries are those who are said to be In Christ.
[in The Body of Christ]. All are in the same spiritual position with The
Spirit of God and Christ in them but if they are guilty of Idolatry, The
Narrow Door to The Inner Sanctuary will be closed to them. If they
fail to grow in the knowledge of God and Christ as Spiritual Storehouses, by
becoming Rooms which are to grow even wider than when they began, they will
bring condemnation from God Himself because they will remain in the same
position as those in The Courts who as Rooms grow narrower because of
the lack of Teaching Truth by God.
We see in the Outer and the Inner Sanctuaries, that which is not
to be seen in The Courts. In the space above the outside of the Entrance
to the Inner Sanctuary and at regular intervals all around The Inner and The
Outer Sanctuary we see the face of a cherubim [Angel] with
the face of a man and a lion.
These reveal Christ’s work then with the Father as the Angel of the Lord,.
His coming as the Son of Man, and his coming rule as King, the Lion of Judah.
These carvings ‘shout out’ the full work of Christ Jesus and God’s
exaltation of His Son to Christ and Lord who sits on His right
hand. By allowing these carvings of another in His Most Holy Place,
demonstrates that He is pleased with His
“ beloved Son.”
There is the wooden table, the only furniture in The
Sanctuaries. This is where we are called to sit Spiritually and
symbolically and be taught Truth by God Himself, as we submit to His Will, remembering that while we live Spiritually in The Heavens, we are
still of the earth [wood] Spiritually. Romans 8: 11.
We are to grow in the knowledge of good and evil; by the
teaching of righteousness, by condemning sin as being useless and overcoming by
the power of God, in whose Spirit we are. We are to remember that there
is no more sacrifice for wilful, deliberate sin.
Upon entering The Sanctuaries we are to Spiritually burn
the clothes that we wore in The Outer Courts and put on our priestly linen
garments which are to be kept clean from defilements through our faith in
the work of the blood, and by the fire of the Altar of Burnt Offering.
This is the ongoing work of The Altar of Burnt Offering, where we spiritually
shed our blood in total commitment to God.
The Priestly Garments are for those who are priests
and Sons of God, co-heirs with Christ, and are not to be worn outside
The Sanctuaries except to The Inner Court, to The Altar of Burnt Offering for
one’s own personal sacrifice. This rule is in case they inadvertently
consecrate those in The Outer Courts who would become falsely identified
with those in The Sanctuaries.

THE EXITING FROM THE COURTS [CHRIST’S KINGDOM] AND ENTERING
THE SANCTUARIES [THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN] IS NOT A MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE BUT
IS A REAL SPIRITUAL WORK BY GOD AND CHRIST IN THE PROGRESSIVE JOURNEY WHICH
SHALL NEVER CEASE:
As the believer enters where God is to The Mountain where God’s
throne is, where His Feet are, we have entered into a relationship with God
Himself. We are Sons.
We are told that we have come to God and Mount Zion, to The
Heavenly Jerusalem the city of The Living God and to Jesus whose blood speaks
better than that of Able. Here we are to know God Himself, just as we
know Jesus. Let it be understood that while the believer has gained entrance
into The Outer Sanctuary, the Mountain of God in The Inner Sanctuary is
inaccessible if there is Idolatry or Spiritual Prostitution, and if they should
trust in The Way, [Christ Jesus] rather than ‘The Destination’ God Himself to
whom Jesus has brought us.
Beware of
nullifying Jesus’ work in this regard.

IN EZEKIEL’S TEMPLE THERE IS NO ARK BUT THE RIVER, WHICH
SPEAKS OF GOD OUR FATHER AND HIS WORK BY HIS SPIRIT.
In Revelation we see The Heavenly Temple of Ezekiel being
referred to several times.
In Revelation 11: 19 we see The Temple and The Ark inside. For The Ark
to be seen, this would mean that God Himself had left the Temple because
the symbol of Himself and His Laws are present, as it was in The
Tabernacle, of The Old Testament. But in Ezekiel’s Heavenly Temple, there
was no Ark to be seen because God is there. Why? What has
occurred for The ark to be placed in The Heavenly Temple, in The End Times in
Revelation. Why has God left it?
The preceding verses give us the clue that those who are In
Christ [those in The Sanctuaries] have been gathered to where
Christ will judge them, because judgement cannot take place in The
Temple. God would be with them and this would be reason for The Ark in
The Temple, because He is not present.
Mark 13: 26-27 2 Corinthians 5: 10
1 Thessalonians 4: 16 Matthew
13: 43
Matthew 7: 21-23 2 Corinthians 3:17
Revelation 11: 1 John in The Vision of Revelation is
told to go and measure The Temple and the people in it. Understanding has
been given by Ezekiel as to the meaning of measuring the people, who are
‘Rooms’ in The Temple, who are to be measured by John. The size of The Temple will depend upon the
measurement of the people according to their growth which affects the expansion
of The Heavenly Temple. The number of people is the deciding factor as to
The measurements of The Temple, and so Ezekiel’s Temple gives us understanding
of God’s inquiry in the days prior to The Mark of The Beast, when the Church is
still on earth.
Revelation 15: 5-16: 2 Here we see The Temple FROM
which comes the seven final plagues cast out by the seven angels as part of
God’s judgement on the earth.
God is present, as The Temple is filled with smoke from His Glory and His
Power. However no one will be able to enter The Temple until The seven
Plagues of the seven angels were completed.
God was in His Temple but there were no believers in The
Sanctuaries because they had been ‘exited’ by Christ for judgement.
Daniel’s timing for the Last Days is revealing as to the
time for the church to be taken out which will be after The Mark of The
Beast, but only a matter of a month, two weeks and three days. [no hour is
known except to God alone]. It would be believed that in the
space of time between The Mark of The Beast and the onslaught of The
Plagues, that those In Christ will be removed from The Temple for
judgement, by Christ ie. Raptured and will not enter The Temple again.
Those who inherit will ride with Christ and put down The
Beasts and with him, rule on the earth for a thousand years when The Prince’s
work on earth will require him to be seen in a new aspect. He is to
be seen and not to remain in a Spiritual sphere, of being unseen, just as those
who do inherit will be seen even though they shall be spirit. Those
In Christ, who do not inherit will not return to The Temple, but be cast into
The Fiery Furnace as they did not do the will of The Father. So The
Father closes The Temple Sanctuaries to any entrance. The only ones in
The Temple are those in The Courts who shall not be
judged by God until the very end,. after Christ’s 1000 year Reign.

FOR NOW EZEKIEL’S TEMPLE IS IN THE HEAVENS AND CAN BE
ENTERED INTO,
where we see prophetically our LORD GOD Almighty as THE
RIVER, which speaks of His Spirit symbolically, which He calls for us to swim
in.
It is only in the understanding of God The Father as The River and that our
desire is to swim in Him, according to His Will, that progress is known, to
having a close relationship as a Son. 1 John 1: 3
This should give us understanding as to those who Jesus
spoke of in The Kingdom of Heaven as ‘being fish,’ who have been
caught in a net as fish, but note their judgement if they are bad fish. Matthew
13:47-50.
God in Jeremiah 16: 15-16 prophetically speaks of ‘fishermen’ who will
gather His people and restore them to the land given to their forefathers,
which Christ, as The Prince, will give his attention in his reign.
Ezekiel 47: 13 to Chap. 48
In Ezekiel Chapter 47, we see the River comes from under The Door
of The Outer Sanctuary, which is the threshold of the Sanctuaries.. It
flows south to The Altar of Burnt Offering, from which it flows. This is
very significant because this is where one is Baptised with The Spirit
of God by Christ and gives the impression of God The Father by His Spirit
reaching out, because - no one can enter The Sanctuaries unless they are in
God’s Spirit, Born Again by living Spirit water. So
Christ does this work of Baptism with Holy Spirit.
By fulfilling John 16:13-15, - 23 -28, The Water will get deeper as we
constantly turn to God Himself asking Him for all things, so that the
Fruit of His Spirit becomes deposited in us to remain transforming us into
the likeness of Christ.
By doing God’s Will His Spirit is
allowed penetration into all parts of our bodies and lives, which sets us free
as we trust Him totally, without any selective solutions and
decisions, especially as Healer, deliverer, provider, and
defender. By this we mean that it is to Him we look for all things
so that our authority and faith, is strengthened in God. We
reinforce The Name of Jesus, in all that we ask of God, because we are Sons of
God, because of Jesus’ work so we give recognition of his
work and establish that we have been given this authority as co-heirs
with him.
THE RIVER ENTERS THE SEA.
To enter The Sea of God’s Spirit would indicate full continuous
enjoyment because of full continuous trust in God The
Father who would be giving us His Offerings, as we ask of Him continually.

IN THE MATTER OF INHERITANCE :
Ezekiel 46: 16-17 Matthew 8:
12 John 15: 9-15
Many believe that they are Born Again - and are confident that they have
Eternal Life. All who would come to God would desire to have
Eternal life with God. They do not want The Lake of Fire, The Fiery
Furnace, or Outer Darkness. But Jesus speaks of these and to whom they
would relate.
May the question be asked? If Eternal Life is
assured why is there the separation of those who are in The Kingdom of Christ,
those who are in The Courts, from those In Christ , those in The Sanctuaries,
for separate judgements.
Ezekiel, on the matter of Inheritance speaks of it in
relation to those who are subjects and those who are sons, and it is Jesus
himself who clarifies the difference for us.
1 John 2: 24-25 Matthew 7: 21-23
Revelation 20: 11-12 Ephesians
5: 5-7
Hebrews 10: 19-31 Hebrews 6: 1-7.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUBJECTS AND SONS AS TO THEIR
INHERITANCE
ACCORDING TO EZEKIEL AND JESUS HIMSELF.
Those who are placed in The Kingdom of Christ, by God are called Subjects,
Servants, of Christ.
The Subjects receive a gift for ministry from Christ, as a bond
servant either that of the work of prophet, apostle, evangelist, teacher –
pastor, which are not spiritual gifts. Therefore their working
will not pass on, to the believer’s descendants but will be removed at the
time their office ends.
It is not Christ’s intention that they should remain servants but become sons,
because to remain a Subject is not to be Christ’s friend, if they have not
obeyed his command to be Baptised with Holy Spirit.
Their inheritance will be Outer Darkness or The Fiery Furnace because of
unbelief. Christ’s Angels will sort them out, giving them to be judged by
God at the end of Christ’s 1000 years reign. Woe to them if Christ was to
do this work.
Matthew 22:13 -14, 13: 37-41, 25:14 -30
Galatians 4: 6 Acts 1:
4-5 Mark 16: 14-18
Ephesians 4: 7-13 Revelation 20: 4-15.
The GIFT, given by Christ to those who are called Sons because
they are Baptised with Holy Spirit -
Christ’s Gift to Sons of God is, to share his Spiritual
inheritance. He calls us brethren.
As co-heirs with Christ, God Himself gives Sons and Priests Spiritual
gifts, which are to work with the Gifts given by Christ, when the Sons were
Subjects.
The gift of the Prince shall never fade away, because it is
Spiritual and will have a sanctifying effect for the descendants of those who
are Spiritually Sons of God, which can be likened to God remembering Abraham.
1 Corinthians 7: 14-17
The subjects who are servants in Christ’s Kingdom are bond
servants and not the same as those who are Sons of God who are called to be
free servants to do God’s will as Paul did.
They are not servants because they have disobeyed the commands of Christ but
servants who as Sons have willingly laid as it were their ear to be nailed
to the Door as a willing servant who has gained his freedom, and continues to
be faithful to God, as a Son in servitude. The condition for Sons to
inherit Eternal life is THAT WE DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER, as Christ does or be
subject to The Fiery Furnace.
NB. The children of those In Christ cannot stand on
their father’s faith even while they have had the privilege of the sanctifying
effect promised by God. They must personally believe and commit their
lives to become Sons for themselves, and not to, in the face of such testimony
of Truth, they shall have no excuse on their Day of Judgement.

THE BLOCKAGES TO ETERNAL LIFE BEING INHERITED.
WARNING :
To those who believe Christ to be God and Saviour. Those who believe and
have confidence only in the full sufficiency of the cross,
which has generally become the criteria for those unbaptised, believing that
the Baptism with Holy Spirit is unnecessary or is only a subsequent work which
doesn’t matter in regard to inheriting Eternal Life. Whereas it is the
difference between being a subject, or a friend of Christ.
A matter of being In Death or In Life.
Mark 16: 14-16 Colossians 1:27 not 28
Romans 8:10 not 11.
To those who have made a bridge over The River of God
believing it to be just for power failing to understand that they belong to The
River yet refuse to enter into all that it requires to swim strongly in
it. They remain as an observer looking and seeing, but they are fearing
as to where it might take them and at what cost, in view of man’s opinions who
may disagree with them.
Mark 16: 14-16 Matthew 7: 21-23

To those who are GUILTY of Spiritual Idolatry and Spiritual
Prostitution.
Exodus 34: 14 Jeremiah 17: 5-18
John 17: 3 1 Corinthians
8:6 Exodus 20: 1-2.
The Lord our God, The Father is a Jealous God. He does
NOT share His Glory with any other. No one else is His Equal.
Isaiah 40: 25-26 Philippians 2: 5-6
To trust in anything that man originated, is an offence to
God. To trust in any other one, as God, THIS INCLUDES HIS SON, IS
AN OFFENCE TO GOD WHICH THE CHURCH IS GUILTY OF DOING, BECAUSE OF THE TRINITY.
Men may sing praises to God The Father, and pray to Him by Name, but
while Jesus remains as God in their hearts, they will not hear from God, nor
know the praise of God or Christ. To have as gods eg, money and
status ; these are paltry in comparison to the blasphemy of trusting in Jesus
as God and Father. The Father in Isaiah warns of this, saying “All
that hang on this will be cut down by Him, by His zeal.”
Isaiah 22: 20-25 Ezekiel 44:
10-14 1 John 5: 1-5**
It is the work of The Trinity that has taken The Church into
Spiritual Idolatry, creating false hopes and assumptions which have ‘clouded’,
if not fully obscured the Progressive Journey, in coming to God Himself,
through Jesus as The Way to The Father and to understand what that means.
The believer may gain The Outer Sanctuary by the work of Jesus Christ,
as Lamb and Baptiser and the relationship to him as their Prince.
But once The Sanctuary has been entered, it is God’s purpose in The Progressive
Approach to Himself that the believer will go RIGHT ON IN THROUGH THE DOOR OF
THE INNER SANCTUARY BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE GOD IS AND WHERE HE IS TO BE KNOWN
AND TRUSTED IN AS GOD ALONE.
*********************************************
Those who are Baptised in His Spirit, who are In
Christ, if they are guilty of Idolatry, in any form, God has said
:********
“They can serve in My Temple and serve the people of The Temple, BUT they are NOT to come near and to serve Me as
Priests, nor come near any of My Holy Things or My most Holy Offerings.
“They must bear their shame.”
Ezekiel 44: 10-14.
Ezekiel gives warning of Spiritual Prostitution, by the selling
of one’s Birthright short of its glorious purpose. [The sin of Esau] by
believing that all needs can be met, not in Truth and Righteousness but
with those who have neither, and are satisfied. By
neglecting the call, and position as Priests by not demonstrating a knowledge
and burden for those who are in The Courts, who are still in the Realm of
Death and Darkness. By failing to give any warning of the consequences,
they bring themselves into identification and agreement with those in The Courts,
with no declaration of distinction, because there is no knowledge or
appreciation of any distinction between those in The Courts and those in The
Sanctuaries.
They have no realisation of the Spiritual Work that must be
accomplished on those in The Courts. They fail to act as Sons of God
doing greater things than Jesus did, for this is God’s expectation of Sons and this creates unconscious denial of one’s position in God,
because they fail to see where they are Spiritually in God’s purposes for
themselves.
Subsequently, ‘because of the lack of knowledge’, the People
perish, which results in the priests of The Outer Sanctuary not
being taught Truth, so sustaining the error, the church has in regard to The
Spiritual Temple and its Exits and Entrances which God has said we must all
preach. God’s Plan of The Progressive Journey to Himself, has been fouled
for so many.

THOSE IN THE SANCTUARIES ARE IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
We are to be like The Sons of Zadok who can enter
God’s Sanctuary and come to His Table to minister and to perform service
to Him and know His Offerings to Bless us, as we progress in faith in Him in
all things, in ministry and our personal lives. We can teach the
people the difference between the clean and the unclean as The Father
as The Spirit of Truth teaches His Truth as He has promised and we
adhere to His teaching of righteousness.
We are to pray in The Spirit of God or Christ at all times
because all knowledge of men and circumstances are known to them.
We will ask of The Father for all things and He will hear us. We
must trust in God ALONE and know His works.
NB. God The Father has seven Spirits by which He does
His differing works.
The Spirit of Truth, Life, Adoption, Holiness, Grace, Glory, Wisdom and
Revelation, all of which operated on the believer, FOR THE FIRST TIME AT
BAPTISM, AND GOES ON OPERATING AS ONE TRUSTS IN GOD, THE FATHER, THE ONE TRUE
GOD BECAUSE HE IS REAL AND TRUE.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE TEMPLE?
Many Temples have been built in the name of God. It
began with The Tabernacle calling for the need of David’s Temple which Solomon
built. History relates how that this was plundered for its contents.
Herod’s Temple was destroyed by The Romans but God has built, through
Christ, a Spiritual Temple that no one can destroy, except hinder its being
built. There is a curse of God for doing this.
1 Corinthians 3: 17
Today in Israel, those of The Holy Covenant desire a Temple to be
built, making the utensils and the accessories that would be used in the
function of that Temple.
They have failed to understand that God is building a Temple through The Work
of His Son, not on the earth, but in The Heavens. They have failed
Nationally to believe and to receive The Messiah and the giving of God’s
Spirit. They have failed to understand that the utensils and the
accessories is speaking of men who would serve The Living God, coming to know
Him through His Son, being built up as Living Stones in that Temple, where the
inhabitants are Temples of God. Exodus 37: 16 &
24.
In Ezekiel’s Spiritual Temple, God’s presence is real to all
who would become Sons of God, to be taught God’s truth by God Himself and to
fellowship with Him where He sits with Christ His Son. 1 John
1: 3
It is the Holding Place for all since the time of Adam who were seen as
righteous in God’s sight, and those who have been to the cross and those who
have known Baptism with Holy Spirit. Those who have died physically and
those who remain on the earth, sit together In The Heavens, in Spiritual
oneness in The Temple.
The disciples of Jesus knew the reality of The Holy Ones as
they saw Moses and Elijah which reveals their on
going reality in God’s Realm as they continue with The Church to work
together in God’s purposes today and into the days of Jesus’ Reign.
Those under The Old Dispensation are with those of The New Dispensation.
As Temples of God, He can convict those of The World of sin, through us, and
we are to wrestle God’s enemies in The Heavens by the power of God’s
Spirit, being the manifold Wisdom of God to Principalities and
Powers. Right there in The Heavens where all the time God is there to
Bless us.
To bestow on them a crown of beauty and oil
of gladness
the
garments of praise to be called oaks of righteousness
a
planting of the LORD for the display of His Splendour
