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

Hebrews 3: 6 but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

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

Hallelujah

Do not build your house in Shinar; Let us be filled with glory which is God’s eternal house

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past day, we have been meditating regarding the explanations about how we must dwell in the secret place of the cloud and who does not allow us to dwell like that in the secret place of the cloud?  

That is, God redeemed the people of Israel from the bondage of Egypt and to possess the land of Canaan he is making them begin their journey with faith. But we meditated that in their journey many things happened and still we are meditating. Also, when the cloud was going in front of them, they will be journeying. When the cloud stops, they will stop their journey. In this manner, as a protection for them in the daytime they had the pillar of cloud and in the night the pillar of fire.

The above-mentioned things God is using them and is explaining clearly with clear patterns regarding us, who are the generations of the tribes of Israel. Our sinful life, which is the traditional life, pleasures of the world, infatuations, evil lusts all these are Egypt. From this sinful life to give us a redemption our Lord God revives his only begotten Son in our soul and makes our old life to die with him and by his Spirit he revives us along with Him as a new life. For this God gave his Son to this world for us as a pattern. Then he sends the spirit of the Son into us. In this manner, we attain the image of God and when we enter into this glory God teaches us his words through the Holy Spirit and makes his glory to be manifested on us. When manifested in this manner, his cloud shadows over us. He is our protector, rampart, fortress and refuge. In this manner we must leave the worldly life and when we search for the heavenly life, we receive salvation. That salvation is Christ. He is only our garment, that garment should always be holy. If such a holiness is present in us, we will dwell in the secret place of his cloud. That is the garment of salvation.

My dear people, in the journey of the people of Israel we see that only Moses climbs Mount Sinai.

Exodus 24: 15 – 18 Then Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain.

Now the glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 

The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. 

So, Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

In the past days we meditated that mountain is Christ. When Moses climbed up the mountain, a cloud covers the mountain. The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai. From this, those who obey the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and believe in his name and perform deeds on them that cloud will shadow over them.

Also, we will meditate regarding who does not allow us and hinders us to dwell in the secret place of the cloud. That is, the vision that God gave Zechariah he sees a basket that is going forth. We see that the angel of God says that “This is their resemblance throughout the earth:”

My dear people, think of how true this is. Basket signifies the world, which are our sinful habits. All the people’s eyes are upon this only. If we will say particularly those who speak the word of God are the great crowd that speaks only about the world and its blessings.

Regarding this, Zechariah 5: 7 – 9 Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; 

then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket and threw the lead cover over its mouth. 

Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

My dear people, many are preaching regarding the world and its blessings. We must have good understanding regarding what that teaching is. That is, the basket that is going forth in the vision for Zechariah, and in the middle of that basket a woman is sitting inside. She is wickedness, who makes our soul completely as the world and gives the pride of the world, pleasures of the world and riches of the world and in our soul she gives us wickedness over wickedness and when we also do wicked things and are perishing, if God is putting the lead cover over its mouth and closing it means let us think why. If we lean in her way, we see that God puts wickedness upon wickedness upon us.

Then two women are lifting up the basket between earth and heaven and going. They had wings like the wings of a stork. Those women show two types of worldly churches. The explanation regarding the two women we will meditate tomorrow. 

But those women are taking this basket to the land of Shinar to build a house for it. There it will be established and set on its base says the Lord. She will work against the cloud of God.

My dear people, this wickedness is only the Babylon woman. Her land is the land of Shinar. We must ensure that she does not build her land, her house in our soul and to safeguard ourselves let us heed to the voice of God. Let us submit ourselves.

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