INTRODUCTION TO THE MESSIANIC KINGDOM AND TEMPLE

by

June 18, 2017 Daniel E. Woodhead Series:  Ezekiel  · 89 of 89 The section of Scripture we are entering is an exposition of the Temple that will exist during the future Messianic Kingdom. The coming Kingdom was known for many ages by the nation Israel and revealed extensively throughout the Old Testament prophets in all of the aspects of it that God chose to provide us.

“I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse.” Song of Solomon 5:1

by

The heart of the believer is Christ’s garden. He bought it with his precious blood, and he enters it and claims it as his own. A garden implies separation. It is not the open common; it is not a wilderness; it is walled around, or hedged in. Would that we could see the wall of separation between the church and the world made broader and stronger.

Living Epistles

by

Reflections You are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart. (2 Cor. 3:1-3) What is the testimony that God is writing in and through us? Is it a testimony about US — or about all WE have done for God? Is it a testimony about all of our potential greatness — about what a wonderful specimen WE can become? No. A living epistle of Christ is about HIM – and all HE …
