T#036 BUILD - - “the assembly and fitting together of components into a structure like a building, or a place such as a city WE ARE NOW unknowingly CONSTRUCTING!.”


>>Genesis 2:7-15 = THE LORD GOD
  • formed man with a body of dust from the ground, and
  • breathed into his nostrils the essence [spirit] of life;
  • and man became a living [soul] personality or a distinct entity.
  • >>1st Thessalonians 5:23

Now THE LORD GOD had planted a garden in the East, in Eden; and there HE put the man HE had formed. And THE LORD GOD made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground – trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food.
  • In the middle of the garden were the tree of life
  • and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. THE LORD GOD took the man and put him in The Garden of Eden
  • first --- to cultivate It and then - - -
  • second --- to PERPETUATE It unta!!!



 Here we see

  • how THE LORD GOD thought of LIFE,
  • created LIFE, and thereafter
  • worked out provisions for LIFE
  • to take care of LIFE.
  • THE LORD GOD thought of man,
  • fashioned man, and thereafter
  • willed for man
  • to be taking care of the wisdom, strength and beauty and purpose of
  • THE LORD GOD’s given & exclusive provisions for him
  • purposed to be HIS moving images in the likeness of HIS AUTHORITY
  • >>Genesis 1:26

 Backtracking a bit,

  • we see farther back, how
  • THE LIFE HIMSELF - GOD
  • thought of man,
  • gave him LIFE, and
  • willed for him
  • --- that for his own LIFE,
  • he takes care of HIS provisions
  • for him and
  • depend on them & HIM --- alone.

Forwarding a bit, 

  • we see a little of
  • THE LORD GOD’s PROJECT PLAN
  • ---- of that which HE wants to assemble
  • ---- and fit together
  • ---- from out of the materials
  • ---- at hand
  • ---- into a whole new structure
  • ---- that is TO-BE-BUILT-UP!

 >>Genesis 6:11-16 = Now the earth was corrupted in THE LORD GOD’s sight and was full of violence.
  • THE LORD GOD saw how corrupted the earth had become
  • for all the people of the earth
  • had corrupted their ways.
So THE LORD GOD said to Noah,
  • “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them.
  • I am surely going to destroy both
  • them and the earth.

So build yourself AN ARK
of cypress wood; make
rooms
in it and coat it with pitch
inside and out.

  • This is how you are to build it:
  • The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high.
  • Make roof for it and
  • finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top.
  • Put a door in the side of the ark and
  • make lower, middle and upper decks.

Here we see

  • that THE LORD GOD decided to destroy
  • all of LIFE then
  • ---- because IT has been corrupted by
  • their building/constructing and providing
  • themselves with THEIR ENTREPRENEURSHIPS
  • THE LORD GOD has not planned as
  • option for them,
  • neither provided them,
  • nay willed for them

---  to make a name for themselves (>>Genesis 11:4);

  • instead .... they should just have walked with HIM
  • enjoyed LIFE with HIS provisions
  • HE planned for them
  • ....... at the beginning of time!

Then, deciding
that LIFE should continue

  • WITHOUT those corruptions
  • through the righteous man Noah
  • .... whose LIFE was a walk with HIM (>>Genesis 6:9),
  • HE instructed Noah
  • to build the ark

according to

 the blueprint that came

 from THE GOD HIMSELF


  • that LIFE may continue thereafter
  • without those human initiatives,
  • worldly ventures,
  • methodologies and ramifications
  • which only tellingly proliferated further
  • the corruption of all of THE LORD GOD's creation!

LIFE indeed continued after that,

  • even unto the days of Moses
  • when the glory of THE LORD GOD
  • settled on Mount Sinai! (>>Exodus 24:16).

Forwarding a bit,

  • we see how THE LORD GOD
  • of that obedient generation
  • revealed another blueprint.
  • Uncomfortable with being THE ONE WHOM
  • only Moses can get close to on the Mount and
  • mingle with HIM

HE commanded Moses:


>>Exodus 25:8-9  = Then have them
  • BUILD A SANCTUARY for ME
  • and I will dwell among them.
  • Make THIS TABERNACLE and all its furnishings
  • exactly like the pattern I will show you.

Moving forward until >>Exodus 31:1,

  • we see how in detail
  • THE LORD GOD painstakingly instructed
  • HIS people
  • through Moses
  • how to build THE LIFE according strictly to HIS blueprint

that HE may dwell among them
and they mingle with HIM

  • while yet in their journey towards The Promised Land.
When all of GOD’s
people then

  • were firmly established
  • in all wisdom and prosperity
  • in The Promised Land
  • under King Solomon (>>1st Kings Chapters 4 & 5),
  • it was clear
  • he had a full understanding of THE LIFE
  • (>>1st Kings 4:32-33  > botanical and animal --- this far)

from
>>1st Kings 5:3-5,

  • of building a temple for GOD
  • in association with other people
  • until he finished it
  • in strict compliance to every detail
  • to GOD’s specifications
  • as recorded up to >>1st Kings 6:38.

There and only there,
THE LORD was to be

 WORSHIPPED
by HIS people
in HIS glory!

  • For our time
  • when TO-BE HIS people
  • there is to be no more distinction between Jews and Gentiles
  • particularly in the matter of SALVATION

we are to reflect on these spiritual truths from


>>John 1:14 = THE WORD became flesh and made HIS dwelling among us,

>>John 2:19-22 = Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days. The Jews replied, “It has taken 46 years to build this temple, and YOU are going to raise it in three days?”

But the temple HE

 had spoken of

 was HIS BODY.


After HE was raised from the dead, HIS disciples recalled what HE had said. Then they believed THE SCRIPTURE and the words that JESUS had spoken.

The spiritual truths
in all these are that

  • for the traveling Jews while on their way to The Promised Land

they had the material
tabernacle;

  • for the then already settled Jews in The Promised Land

they had The Temple
built by Solomon

and
  • for us [Jews & Gentiles] in this end times ....... both

in order that we
may come

 [1] close to and

 [2] mingle with HIM,

  • HE is to-be actually within us individually in our spirit --- owned by HIM (>>1st Corinthians 6:19)

when we are
indwelt by HIS Spirit

  • as we ourselves individually are called to 
  • be indwelt by The Holy Spirit
  • that we as HIS spiritual BODY

collectively eventually
become GOD’s temple of
distinction and uniqueness

  • (>>1st Corinthians 3:16-17)
  • for unbelievers to 

Oh, what
A COLLECTIVE
SPIRITUAL
task

  • for our individual selves
  • our [will, intelligence, emotion, urges & appetites]
  • in This Church Age

to becoming
GOD's TEMPLE
(>>Ephesians 2:19-22)

  • under the leading of The Holy Spirit

thru HIS WORD
(>>>Treatise #030)

  • fellow-priests -to- one-another

directly under THE CHIEF-PRIESTHOOD
of our LORD JESUS

  • as we seek in all diligence and wisdom
  • our obedience to every detail of
  • GOD’s instructions in
  • THE New COVENANT,
  • as we RESPOND to

 Oh, what a wisdom,
strength, and beauty
to realize

  • IF ONLY WE
  • IN ALL DILIGENCE MAKE SURE
  • WE DON’T ADD TO,
  •  nor SUBTRACT FROM, nay
  • TWIST ANYTHING FROM IT

as ALL RELIGIONISTS &
DENOMINATIONALISTS
are all guilty of

  • ---- not even take our own initiatives
  • ---- in our work of building
  • THE LIFE for ourselves!

THE BIBLE
is afterall
THE BOOK OF LIFE.


    >>Genesis 3 to Revelation 20
    • OF  GOD’s  starting to assemble and putting together or

    BUILDING TOGETHER

     HIMSELF,
    MAN, and
    THE WHOLE CREATION

     >>Genesis 1 & 2

    • INTO THE LIFE AND CITY

    we are called to-be together mingling

    • IN ETERNITY

    THE  NEW JERUSALEM
    as described in
    >>Revelation 21 & >>22!

    Compare what you read and see
    • in >>Genesis >>1 & 2
    • and Revelation >>21 & 22.

    THE LIFE to live 
    for us therefore .....

     ought-to-be
    our mingling
    with GOD now(!)

     slowly
    (but increasingly)
    doing away with

     in REPENTANCE
    kun PAGBINAG-O
    [>>> T#002]

    our own conceived
    activities, rituals,
    shows, devotions,
    traditions, systems
    and
     entrepreneurships;

    • particularly not anymore mingling
    • in the likes of those centered on the material ark and temple where our predecessors mingled with GOD

    as GOD has
    seen fit to be
    done away with

     already

     in this generation
    in this end-times

    • as HE does not anymore live inside
    • --- (no matter how they bless them to render them sacred)
    • and celebrate activities centered on
    • --- those relics, ciboriums, tabernacles, monstrances,  altars, chapels, shrines, logos, streamers, sanctuaries, church-buildings, cathedrals, basilicas,
    • --- (ALL made by human hands
    • >>Acts 7:48)

    but wants HIMSELF
    to-be
    IN us now(!)

    • --- as HE has put in HIS blueprint
    • for us to follow,

    which is what
    THE LIFE
    of REPENTANCE
    is for us ....
    ALL ABOUT!



     1. HOW ARE YOU BUILDING AND GETTING BUILT
    • GOD’S TEMPLES

    WITHIN YOU
    & OUR FELLOW "CALLED-OUTS"?


    • STRICTLY ACCORDING TO HIS WORD??
    • --- according to
    • how
    • the hearers of Peter’s sermon in Jerusalem on that Pentecost Day of A.D.33
    • individually became GOD’s Temples
    • as prophesied as early as the days of Isaiah and Joel yet! 

     2.  ARE YOU MAKING YOURSELF
    • PART OF GOD’S ON-GOING CONSTRUCTION or BUILDING OF

    via OVERCOMING
    >>>T#027

    • THE SOON-TO-BE REVEALED

    NEW HEAVEN &
    NEW EARTH WHICH IS
    THE NEW JERUSALEM?



    3. ARE YOU really MINGLING WITH GOD IN HIS WORD?
    • OR WITH JUST YOUR NICOLAITANS
    • &/or 
    • their denominational kinds of behaviors, teachings, shows, rituals, traditions, activities?
