The Daily Word of Righteousness
Tabernacles, and the Coming of the Lord, #2
And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; (Mark 11:15)
When Christ entered His Father's house He drove out the moneychangers. When Christ enters our hearts He casts out what is displeasing to God, what is hindering us from walking as we should in holiness, prayer, and joy.
We have come now, in the course of the development of the Christian Church, to the season of the spiritual fulfillment, in the elect, of the last three feasts of the Lord: Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles.
Pentecost is the fourth of the seven feasts. Many Christian churches have been experiencing the spiritual fulfillment of the feast of Pentecost throughout the twentieth century. Now it is time to progress to the fulfillment of the last three feasts.
Trumpets, feast number five, portrays the coming of the King, the Lord Jesus, to us for the purpose of driving His enemies from His Bride, and finally from the nations of saved peoples of the earth. The spiritual fulfillment of Trumpets is taking place now, and it includes the forming of the saints into the army of the Lord.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. (Psalms 24:9)
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 3:3)
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. (Malachi 4:1)
The Day of Atonement, the sixth feast, is the war that the Lord wages against our personality, the war announced by the Blowing of Trumpets. The judgment on the evil in our personality that the Lord performs in us results in freedom from worldliness, sin, and self-will as we open the everlasting doors of our soul to Him.
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. (Isaiah 4:4)
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (Matthew 3:12)
"Purge his floor"!
Tabernacles, the seventh and final feast, portrays the coming of the Father and the Son to take up Their eternal abode in us.
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:21,22)
