Manifestation of the bride, the church as a glorious house of our Lord Jesus Christ – Explanation with a pattern

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated regarding how we must live holy for the bride, the church which is our soul to live and not die and regarding how Israel, the church and in them those who are doing the work of God, who have received the anointing for priesthood should be. Among them, those who are submitting themselves to God whoever it may be, those who have offered themselves; after they have submitted themselves to God if they live according to the way their mind goes, God does not desire in this thing.

Therefore, after we have submitted ourselves to God, for seven days you shall not go outside the door of the tabernacle of meeting (Christ’s feet) and for seven days you shall be consecrated. After each one of us have done all these things with fear and reverence in Leviticus 9: 1 – 4 It came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel. 

And he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. 

And to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying, ‘Take a kid of the goats as a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering, 

also a bull and a ram as peace offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord, and a grain offering mixed with oil; for today the Lord will appear to you.’”

When we meditate upon these verses Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel and what he told is that those who are doing priesthood and those who have experience in Israel in their lives should be washed and cleansed from sin and as our peace offering what we must offer God is our soul which is strengthened by the teachings of Christ and he is telling them to bring it to offer that for harvest. When we do this, it is said that the Lord will appear to us. 

That is, when we meditate upon the portion of the Old Testament, they did not see God. It is being said that they walked in faith. But God is showing us as a pattern through Moses that we will see him. That is, in Hebrews 11: 13, 14 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 

For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.

When we meditate upon these verses, it is said that they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims and they died with faith. But still, they declare plainly that they seek a homeland. But we are not like that, but we attain the homeland (Christ) now itself. But the old holy saints when Jesus Christ gave up his spirit, their bodies were raised. But after Christ resurrected it is said in the word of God that they came out of the graves and they went into the holy city and appeared to many. When we see this, how much blessed we are. This is because now we can hear the voice of the Son of Man, who is Christ always. When we listen, obey, and submit ourselves our inner man receives life and raises up. 

Also, our soul attains eternal life now itself. That is why in Ephesians 2: 19 – 22 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 

having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 

in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 

in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

When we meditate on the above-mentioned verses what we understand is that we are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God and the chief cornerstone of our foundation is Jesus Christ and along with him as a building he unites all the holy saints, and it grows into a holy temple of God. In him, we also are being built together as a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

In this manner, we can see him. The pattern of these is in Leviticus 9: 5, 6 So they brought what Moses commanded before the tabernacle of meeting. And all the congregation drew near and stood before the Lord. 

Then Moses said, “This is the thing which the Lord commanded you to do, and the glory of the Lord will appear to you.”

What we are reading in this, the glory of the Lord is Christ. He is the glorious house of Lord Jesus Christ (temple). We are that temple (house of Lord Jesus Christ). Let us all submit ourselves to change into a glorious house of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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