BLESSED IS SHE THAT BELIEVED

“And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.  And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call His name JESUS.  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end.  Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”   (Luke 1:30-35)   What an incredible event it was when God sent the angel of the Lord to a lowly handmaid by the name of Mary to announce that she had been chosen to birth the Son of God!   Of all the women in Israel, it was she whom the Lord chose....

THE TABERNACLE OF GOD

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men , and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God .  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” (Revelation 21:1-4).   A study of the Jewish Tabernacle of God in the Bible is a fascinating one to be sure.  Hidden within the blueprint of God’s House are mysteries relating to the spiritual growth and maturity of God’s people who are the true Tabernacle of God and Body of Christ.   God was very particular ...
