The Daily Word of Righteousness
Blow the Trumpet in Zion, #12
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. (Psalms 24:7,8)
Now we shall learn how to fight in the spirit realm. Now the enemies of God will be cast from our personality in an act of eternal judgment. Now we shall be prepared by the Spirit of God to ride with the Lord Jesus in the Battle of Armageddon.
There is a coming of the Lord to His royal priesthood that will take place before He appears to the world. It is for the purpose of creating righteousness, holiness, and obedience to God in the personalities of God's saints:
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. (Malachi 3:1-3)
Notice that when the King, Jesus, entered Jerusalem in His Glory, He immediately went into the Temple of God and began to cast out that which does not glorify the God of Heaven:
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, (Matthew 21:12)
The Lord Jesus is coming to us today in just this manner. Judgment has begun in the house of God (I Peter 4:17). All that is not of God must be purged from every individual who would be part of the godly remnant of the last days, who would escape the deceptions of Antichrist.
The Gospel of John describe several aspects of the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles. The Lord tells us there are many dwelling places in the Father's house (which is Christ—Head and Body), and that He will come to receive us after He has gone to the cross and then has ascended to God with the atoning blood, thus preparing a place for us in Himself in God:
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:3)
Again:
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:18)
The context of these two verses, particularly John 14:18, reveals that the Lord is not referring to His coming in the clouds of glory. He is speaking of His coming to the individual believer in the spiritual fulfillment of the Blowing of Trumpets.
