“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Revelation 3: 12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah

The Twelve Pillars of the Church

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past day, we meditated that God blesses those who listen to Him and those who do not listen to Him become desolate. Also, in our life, to grow in spiritual experience God along with his holy angels fight against Babylon, dragon, beast and with those along them and because He is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, he overcomes them. In this manner, our Lord Jesus Christ who is the Lamb overcomes our soul from the mouth of the lions (false teachings, world, flesh, devil) which was stuck among these and God saves it and takes it. In this way, we who have received salvation must listen to God’s teachings daily and if we will obey God, he will give us all kinds of blessings (fruit of the womb, increase of the soul, also spiritual growth, and heavenly riches that is gifts of grace and holiness) and will bless us daily. Otherwise he will hand us over to the hands of the wild beasts, Babylon dragon and these things. If we submit in this manner, in the past day we meditated regarding the punishment that God gives if we do not obey the word of God. The same things will happen in our lives also. We will be in chamber of hell and will be going straight to the chamber of death.

Therefore, we must always listen to God and wait for his good guidance and walk with Him and we must receive God’s blessings.

Next the word of God that we are meditating on God is telling Moses “Come up to the Lord, you, and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar.

And Moses alone shall come near the Lord, but they shall not come near; nor shall the people go up with him.”

Mountain means, what we meditated before Mount Sinai. (It is a pattern of Christ). In the Old Testament, only those who have complete holiness can come close to the throne of grace. The others can come close to God only through the holy people. So, Father God sent his Son Christ to the world and then in our soul the resurrected Christ as the Holy Spirit comes to our soul and stays there and revives our soul and unites us in fellowship with Him and breaks down the wall of separation in the middle and gives us the privilege to unite with God through Jesus Christ.

So, Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord. And all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words which the Lord has said we will do.”

Though they submitted in this manner, we see that on the way during the journey many of them died. The reason being they walked in faith. Among those who had faith only two people reached. Among the others those who obeyed, when Christ died, they came out of the graves and after appearing to many along with the resurrected Christ they joined along with Him in heaven.

In this manner after we die, in our life it will not happen like what happened with the Old Testament holy people. This is because when they were living there was no reviving of the soul for everyone. But for us, we do not walk only by faith but to walk along with faith and by sight, he gave the Holy Spirit in our soul and made us speak and study with God and to be straight in fellowship with Him and in this world itself he gave us a rebirth and the Holy Spirit as the word of God, so that in our soul to put on his name, in this manner he gave us all heavenly gifts and from that day he judges us, makes us holy and for the fellowship along with the holy people whenever Christ comes, he comes along with the holy people so that with one heart united with Christ we may worship God he gives us all blessings and always for us to have fellowship along with Him and for Him along with us he is showering us with grace.

Exodus 24: 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And he rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

He is showing us this as a pattern that the mountain is Christ and He only is our altar and it had twelve pillars.

The explanation of this is that the church requires twelve pillars then the church will be made steadfast. For this, our Lord Jesus Christ shows us as a pattern, and we see that he chooses twelve disciples. Also, as the twelve pillars of Israel, church the twelve fathers of the tribes are written.

Then Moses sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord. 

And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins, and half the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 

Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the Lord has said we will do and be obedient.” 

And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you according to all these words.”

Moses sent the young men to offer sacrifices. Also, the blood of the lamb or oxen were put in a basin and was sprinkled on the altar and the Book of the Covenant was read. This means that it is being showed as a pattern to Christ blood. By that blood of Christ when we are redeemed our soul is manifested as a young man. That young man is our Lord Jesus Christ. He is only the Book of the Covenant. When this book is being read (word of God) all the people are obeying.

That is what in Isaiah 65: 20 “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old, But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.

All those who die in Christ (water baptism) and all those who are revived in Spirit are young men. That is what in Psalms 119: 9 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.

That is what, it is written in Psalms 103: 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

In this manner, the elders of Israel saw God.

Exodus 24: 10, 11 and they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity. 

But on the nobles of the children of Israel He did not lay His hand. So, they saw God, and they ate and drank.

Also, when we see the altar with the twelve pillars was the feet of God (Christ). That shines with glory and after that only they ate and drank. It is written that God did not lay His hand on them.

From this, the most important thing that we must know is that Christ’s church, twelve pillars (disciples) should be there, without becoming less. That way, when we are complete only, we must eat and drink the Lord’s supper and should rejoice in the Lord. Let us all meditate and submit ourselves.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
