Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
- 0:03Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
- 0:07Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
- 0:11Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
- 0:15Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
- 0:19Speaker 1: going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words

- 1:26Speaker 2: and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we
- 1:29Speaker 2: will get underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving
- 1:32Speaker 2: us the privilege of coming together. Help us to see
- 1:36Speaker 2: ourselves as wholly and acceptable to you through Christ. In
- 1:42Speaker 2: Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again, I almost
- 1:47Speaker 2: said in Jesus's name. I say, that's interesting. Yes, so
- 1:52Speaker 2: Jesus at the temple, Jesus at the Temple. Now there
- 1:56Speaker 2: is so much that we need to discuss from this
- 2:00Speaker 2: lesson study. But let me just begin in the Bible
- 2:02Speaker 2: Book of HAGGII. When's the last time you read from
- 2:05Speaker 2: the Book of Haggee I? And the Bible reads in
- 2:08Speaker 2: chapter two, beginning at verse seven, something miraculous. Let me
- 2:12Speaker 2: just say, I am not overstating this. You'll understand by
- 2:16Speaker 2: and by something miraculous. The Bible says, and I will
- 2:19Speaker 2: shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come.
- 2:26Speaker 2: The desire of all nations shall come, and I will
- 2:31Speaker 2: fill this house with glory. Set the Lord of hosts.
- 2:35Speaker 2: The silver is mine and the gold is mine, says
- 2:39Speaker 2: set the Lord of Hosts. The glory of this latter
- 2:41Speaker 2: house shall be greater than of the former. Set the
- 2:46Speaker 2: Lord of Hosts, And in this place will I give peace?
- 2:51Speaker 2: Set the Lord of Hosts. Now, to really get what
- 2:56Speaker 2: we're talking about here, it's amazing, we have to discuss
- 3:00Speaker 2: the glory. The Bible says prophetically that God would bring
- 3:05Speaker 2: more glory to this house, meaning this temple, this temple.
- 3:11Speaker 2: There are two temples being discussed here. One was built
- 3:14Speaker 2: by Solomon. I wish I had the time to really
- 3:17Speaker 2: drill that. The second ultimately was improved by Herod. It's
- 3:23Speaker 2: called Herod's Temple. I know there was another phase of
- 3:27Speaker 2: it prior to that. I think it's during Zerubebule's time. Okay,
- 3:31Speaker 2: but Herod's temple Solomon's temple. Now during Solomon's time, when
- 3:37Speaker 2: the temple was dedicated. You have to really get this.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Like when it was dedicated, we see the story in
- 3:44Speaker 2: First Kings, Chapter eight, Verses ten and eleven. The Bible
- 3:48Speaker 2: says that the glory of God filled the temple in
- 3:52Speaker 2: the form of a cloud, or maybe enshrouded in a cloud,
- 3:57Speaker 2: to the degree that even the priests could not minister there.
- 4:02Speaker 2: The presence of the of the Lord was so thick
- 4:05Speaker 2: and heavy that the people of God who were dedicated
- 4:09Speaker 2: for the purpose of ministering there, couldn't even stay in there.
- 4:14Speaker 2: We're talking about glory. Norman. Are you listening, Norman, are
- 4:18Speaker 2: you listening? I said glory. The glory of God was
- 4:23Speaker 2: so thick in that place that they couldn't even minister.
- 4:28Speaker 2: So we see the presence of the God of God
- 4:30Speaker 2: fully present and there to transform, and we say thank God.
- 4:35Speaker 2: We say thank God. So how in the world could
- 4:38Speaker 2: the prophetic pen forecast that the glory would have been
- 4:43Speaker 2: greater than that glory? What? Well? The reality is that, Uh, yeah,
- 4:51Speaker 2: Jesus was the manifestation. I need you to I need
- 4:55Speaker 2: you to get this. Uh. The glory that filled the
- 4:59Speaker 2: first temp of course, is God's presence. Ah. But God
- 5:04Speaker 2: pulled back the veil. I wish I had the time.
- 5:07Speaker 2: God pulled back the veil of all that the Temple
- 5:10Speaker 2: and all of its sacrifices represented. God pulled back the veil.
- 5:15Speaker 2: The Bible says that no one hath seen the Father
- 5:18Speaker 2: at any time, but Jesus, the Son of God, he
- 5:21Speaker 2: hath revealed him. This is what the Bible says. And
- 5:24Speaker 2: so when Jesus comes into what we call now Herod's
- 5:28Speaker 2: temple and he opens up the scrolls and begins to read.
- 5:34Speaker 2: And when Jesus goes into the temple and he teaches
- 5:37Speaker 2: on a regular basis, when he is in the temple
- 5:40Speaker 2: and he is delivering people, including the woman who was
- 5:44Speaker 2: caught in the very act in air quotes of adultery,
- 5:47Speaker 2: and he delivers her. And he puts those men that
- 5:51Speaker 2: were acting like they were the people of God, he
- 5:53Speaker 2: puts them on notice. Like when Jesus comes into that space.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Now we see there were a glass in a way
- 6:02Speaker 2: that God is giving us a peek into his actual presence,
- 6:07Speaker 2: because Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And
- 6:13Speaker 2: so the question is first temple, second temple, First temple,
- 6:17Speaker 2: second temple, brainbuster or alert? The first atom fully created
- 6:22Speaker 2: in the image of God, in the likeness of God,
- 6:25Speaker 2: created He him, male and female, created He them. Are
- 6:28Speaker 2: you the temple of the Holy Ghost? First temple, first atom.
- 6:33Speaker 2: I know you weren't anticipating this second temple, second atom.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Do you remember Jesus said, if you if you destroy
- 6:41Speaker 2: this temple in three days I'll raise it up in
- 6:44Speaker 2: the people of God, the goofy people of God, who
- 6:47Speaker 2: who really were not connected with God, said what, how
- 6:51Speaker 2: can he destroy this temple that was building for forty
- 6:56Speaker 2: six years, that's the renovation of Herod forty six year
- 7:00Speaker 2: and rebuild it in three days. The Bible says that
- 7:04Speaker 2: he spoke of his body. Are you the body of
- 7:07Speaker 2: Christ I'm talking about in twenty twenty five? Are you
- 7:11Speaker 2: the body of Christ? Are you the temple of the
- 7:13Speaker 2: Holy Ghost? What know ye not that you are the
- 7:16Speaker 2: temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you? And
- 7:18Speaker 2: you were bought with a prist. Therefore, glorify your Father,
- 7:24Speaker 2: glorify God in your body, which are the lords. And
- 7:28Speaker 2: so the first atom he failed. The glory was in
- 7:31Speaker 2: Adam's life he failed. The second atom is the manifestation
- 7:36Speaker 2: of what God intended when he erected the temples. Do
- 7:41Speaker 2: you remember he said to Moses, have them make me
- 7:45Speaker 2: a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. And so
- 7:49Speaker 2: the only purpose was for the people to have the presence,
- 7:53Speaker 2: the presence with them, the presence of God with them.
- 7:56Speaker 2: And so when Jesus is the manifestation of what the
- 8:00Speaker 2: glory really was, and he's present in Herod's temple. The
- 8:05Speaker 2: people had a decision to make. They had a decision
- 8:08Speaker 2: to make. Would they capitalize and maximize the presence that
- 8:13Speaker 2: was there, the desire of all nations, the desire of
- 8:17Speaker 2: all ages when he was present there, or would their
- 8:21Speaker 2: house become unto them desolate? Oh, I just turned another corner.
- 8:25Speaker 2: You weren't expecting that one. I turned another corner. So
- 8:30Speaker 2: the second Temple, the glory is now full there because
- 8:34Speaker 2: Jesus is there. But there came a point, though, that
- 8:38Speaker 2: there were people who chose not to become the sanctuary
- 8:44Speaker 2: of God, who chose not to be the temple of
- 8:48Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost. They chose to reject and to resist
- 8:53Speaker 2: the blessing of God. And He left unto them that house,
- 9:00Speaker 2: and it was desolate. And we see in seventy a
- 9:03Speaker 2: d that that desolation met its culmination. Look it up.
- 9:08Speaker 2: And so God, God has given us the privilege of
- 9:12Speaker 2: Jesus in the temple. Jesus is in the temple. Are
- 9:15Speaker 2: you there with him? Is he in dwelling you so
- 9:20Speaker 2: that you will be the ultimate manifestation of what God
- 9:24Speaker 2: intended that he could dwell among us? Or will you
- 9:28Speaker 2: become that temple, ultimately that is left desolate because you
- 9:33Speaker 2: reject him. I'm asking myself the same question, what is
- 9:38Speaker 2: your answer? Make it a great day. Peace, we said
- 9:42Speaker 2: a lot.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
- 9:48Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:51Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
- 9:54Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
