The Renewed Temple #82
Posted by TsiyonJul 27
Many people think of the Jerusalem Temple as being a fixed institution of Israel. The truth is though, that what became the Temple went through a number of permutations from no temple at all to a simple altar of uncut stones, to the Mishkin / Tabernacle / Tent, to the first and second Temples in Jerusalem. Through Isaiah the prophet YHWH foretold a renewed Temple in the earth under the reign of Messiah that would operate upon a new and better principle than all earlier temples. Later, Renewed Covenant writers, such as Kefa / Peter picked up on the Temple prophecies of the Tanach and taught the scattered remnant of Israel on their fulfillment. As we learn about the Renewed Temple we soon find a blueprint there of our own purpose and identity in Messiah that has the startling effect of renewing US!

Greetings to all,
Another thought provoking lesson to say the least.I am reading Isaiah right now and was into Chapter 51, so dug the lesson on Ch 56. But again for the truth seeker /Big Picture seeker, this is another good one.Amazing how powerful and helpful the word can be when you really tap into the full meaning and depth that was intended for us to discover.How all of these examples of Spiritual Temples all the sudden come to light.And Bam! you realize you are late to the party .This Temple is already under construction.”I need to get movin”. Grace is multiplied by this message.We discover a wonderful extension of Yahweh’s love to all Nations. A buzz saw to all the false doctrines and hippocracy.A way to access the Father through the Son,a way home no matter who or where you are.
The other point to consider here,was that at one point we needed no Temple.Mind blowing and an easy detail to miss.But one that never the less is important to focus on.Purpose is a good thing.And we discover several from the purpose of the original alter ,to the purpose of us as stones in the Final Temple.Great Show..
Blessings to all.
Fred

I suppose it is necessary to address these type of topics.
I also have heard teachers discussing the renewed temple. Some teach that we are the new temple and that seems feasible since the Ruach Hakodesh dwells in us and the renewed covenant deals with this subject so eloquently. And, others teach that there will be yet another Temple to be built. I have heard arguments on both sides and this is yet another subject where teachers give scriptural foundation and their understanding of the prophetic scriptures to justify their belief.
I certainly understand your reasoning concerning an actual Temple, and that it is a bad idea makes sense, given our history. That middle wall of partition that kept the gentiles out was used in an unlawful way. Yahshua broke down the middle wall of partition and through His blood restored the relationship of all who come to the faith.
Quite frankly, even though we are now the Temple of the Ruach Hakodesh, we know that we are not without sin, and have defiled ourselves and thus defiled the Temple of the Ruach Hakodesh. Yahweh’s name has been profaned by us to the gentiles (unsaved/pagan).
I do not care one way or the other whether a new temple is acutallly going to be built in Jerusalem. To me it doesn’t make sense that animal sacrifices will be restored? For what purpose? Even so, it does not change the fact that we are the temple(s) of the Ruach Hakodesh, and that we should be an example of Yahweh’s character i.e., holy.
What I care about is being close to Him and to love and serve Him and to bring glory to His name. Yahweh has made a way for all who come to Him to be restored into the family of Yahweh through the blood of Yahshua. If we are lively stones and He is the Chief Cornerstone, make up the One New Man… He is the Head and we are the parts that make up His body.

Mark 14:58 …A day with the Lord is as a thousand years..2Peter3:8..after two days He will revive us..Hosea 6:2…in the third day He will lift us up…mt 26:61…we are entering into that third day…He has destroyed the temple and ,as of yet , it has not been rebuilt, only started…Jn 2:19..
An unsanctified temple is spoken of by Daniel as being the one in which the antimessiah will come to power ‘in the midst of the week’. The one He showed me, His temple, was a barren, sand covered, rock strewn desolation that has been abandoned and left undone by those that were supposed to have been building it up since Yeshua left.
Yes, we must ‘walk in Him’ and be that light . We must put on our armor and raise our shields and draw our swords . Isa58:5-7..and do HIS work, not “lean to our own understanding’. There are a lot of ‘living stones’ that are being gathered by Him and being ‘chiseled down’ in preparation of being set in the real temple. These are the days that prophets spoke of and we are blessed to be in this time… IF we choose YHWH’s true path…

I see how the renewed temple is the faithful remnant and by grace the grafted in gentiles.
I also thought that there was supposed to be another physical temple built in Jerusalem that the anti-christ sets himself up in and claims to be God. This of course was church teaching. I’ve already learned that much of what I was taught in the church was in error.
What also is now unclear to me is how the peace treaty between the antichrist and Israel will all play out since now I believe that the we, the scattered faithful remnant, will be gathered to the land of Israel during the tribulation. I can’t imagine the faithful remnant making a peace agreement with the enemy. Perhaps there will be a secular government in Israel as well as the Kingdom government (that of the remnant).
Perhaps the antichrist will use the Dome on the Rock as a makeshift temple since the Muslim presence at that time will be minimal (if I understand your teachings concerning the coming war in 2014 or 2015). Then again, once Yahweh destroys Damascus and the surrounding Arab nations during this war, I can’t imagine the Dome on the Rock will be allowed to stand longer then the time it takes to move the bulldozers into place.
Either way, these are exciting times.
The Temple of Yahweh is built with His Chief Cornerstone and His Living Stones. He is able to dwell in us and with us. All made possible by the Blood of His Son. Simply mind boggling.
Shalom,
Don

Greetings Tribesmen!! This lesson has absolutely positively without ANY DOUBT, flushed the theory of a third temple down the toilet. This once again PROVES what I have mentioned so many times before, when I said, “If I want to know about baseball, football, basketball, I’ll talk to an American. If I want to know Hebrew scriptures, I’ll talk to a JEW, called by Yahweh!!! CASE CLOSED, BOOOMM!!!! LaHit Tra’ot. Shalom

This exposition is truly a revelation. I have a true understanding of what the purpose for the temple was and is and shall be. That is Yahweh’s name to be glorified and magnified in the earth. To see the progression from an altar to the tabernacle on to the temple and finally the renewed temple shows how Yahweh deals with man and His plan for His character to be manifested in the earth versus a building for man’s religion or ritual. Because of the precious sacrifice of Yeshua the Messiah we have become a precious stone of that temple and we can manifest Yahweh’s name and character in the earth.

Another awesome program that I have heard more than once and I am still learning things. I love YHWH and all that He is doing.

When it all began, no temple in the garden,
innocence is lost, setting up a need for a pardon!
Relationship now, has to be on His terms,
erect an altar, and sin sacrifices must be learned!
Moses frees the people, erects a tabernacle,
a temporary dwelling, lit with menorah candles!
Yahweh needs a place, where His name can reside,
all the holy utensils, will be kept inside!
So the House of God, becomes a Holy place,
a sanctuary of worship , could you see it on each face?
The Jews are trying hard, yet did not see His coming,
they were more concerned, with keep the fires burning!
Have we as a nation also missed this event?
Is He the God, to which sunday worship represents?
We are told to worship, in spirit and in truth,
yet we fail to see, the importance of the feast of booths!
Come full circle, to the spiritual house,
come be in the spirit, get fully dowsed!
Feel the joy of being, a breathing living stone,
a place in the heart, where Yeshua can call home!
