The Daily Word of Righteousness

The Move of God After Pentecost, continued

Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. (Isaiah 12:5)

The Kingdom of God will come to its earthly capital, the city of Jerusalem. Therefore we can expect the promised scriptural awakening of the Jewish people to the knowledge of Jesus as Christ to take place in the near future, for the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is "to the Jew first."

It is in the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles that all will be brought together in Christ. The Kingdom of God will be established on the earth. Christ will sit on the throne of His "father," David, in the city of Jerusalem. The "good olive tree," of which every true Christian is a member, whether he or she is Jewish or Gentile by physical birth, will "blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit" (Isaiah 27:6).

When Christ is dwelling in us we discover we are singing in our heart and it is a love song to the Lord.

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

The Glory of God dwelling in us causes us to shout for joy. God is great and greatly to be praised! God has come to take up His eternal abode in the Body of Christ, in the Wife of the Lamb.

For two thousand years the Christian churches have been "leaping" in their attempts to build tabernacles "for God," hoping thereby to achieve something of merit.

But God will dwell only in Zion, in Christ Head and Body.

Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill [Zion, the Body of Christ] which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever. (Psalms 68:16)

The Christian churches have been as Peter on the Mount of Transfiguration. They have seen the glory of the coming of the Kingdom and they desire to do something about it. But they do not know what they are doing just as Peter did not understand what he was saying.

The Spirit of God spoke through the Prophet Zechariah on the occasion of the restoring of Solomon's Temple:

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)

This is a prophecy concerning the coming of the Kingdom of God to the earth. The Kingdom of God is God in Christ in His saints. It is the Body of Christ, the holy city, the new Jerusalem. It is the eternal Temple of God.

The eternal Temple of God will be brought to completion and perfection but not by the wisdom, talents, and energies of man. The eternal Temple of God will be perfected by the Spirit of God.

God is moving today in all the earth to fulfill the words of the Hebrew Prophets and of the Apostles of the Lamb.

The living stones of the eternal house of God are being fashioned "at the quarry." Each stone will be "made ready" before it is brought to the construction site. God perfects us where we are. When it is time for the Body of Christ to come together there will be no sound of a "hammer or axe."

To be continued.
