The day before Messiah’s last Passover on earth He pronounced doom upon that unbelieving generation of Judea, finally saying; “..your house is left to you desolate.” With these words notice was served that YHWH had withdrawn from the Temple and the apostate worship centered there in that generation, leaving the apostates to the doom which was the consequences of their own actions. Immediately following, on Passover eve, Messiah conferred His rightful Kingdom authority in Israel upon the Messianic leaders He had chosen, saying; “I confer on you a kingdom, even as my Father conferred [it] on me.” With these actions Messiah transferred the rightful authority in Israel away from the religious leaders recognized by that religious system and to His followers, the remnant of faithful Israel. The rest of the time in that generation was devoted to a separating of Judea into two groups, the wicked and the righteous, who soon would be manifested as the damned and the delivered. All would choose one side or the other as there could be no middle ground. The historical record as conveyed through the Jewish priest-historian Josephus of what occurred on Passovers following throughout that generation undeniably supports the truthfulness of Messiah’s words. As we examine the historical record you will see that YHWH had, in fact, abandoned the Temple cult and left them to a horrible doom, while delivering the righteous followers of Messiah with a very tangible deliverance from that same doom. All of this is important for us to contemplate on this Passover, since we live in a parallel generation that is also fast moving towards a similar inevitable end with only one of two outcomes possible for each of us - namely, doom or deliverance. (Matthew 23:37-38, Luke 22:29,30)

Roll up your sleeves and get out your toolbox! Today we are going to scope out the Temple blueprints and maybe even start framing up some of the Temple walls. Of course, before we do any actual construction we need to make sure we are building on the foundation. (A LOT of construction has already been done upon no foundation at all!) Check out those blueprints! We must build on the three-fold foundation that cannot be moved. The Chief Cornerstone is Messiah Himself. Built into Him is the whole work and Word of Yah with, to and through Israel. Among other things this includes Torah, as well as Davidic leadership under the Davidic covenant and everything built into the tribal structure of Israel. Next come the Twelve Apostles personally laid in place by Messiah Himself, completing the foundation. Wow! That three-fold foundation CANNOT BE SHAKEN! Now that we are firmly on THAT immovable foundation we can begin to frame in the superstructure upon it - namely, the faithful remnant of Israel. Then the believing remnant of the nations can be framed in as well, as one unified and solid building finally begins to take shape and grow up in the earth. For that to happen care must go into fitly framing each joint together precisely in its right place. Only Yeshua can get that right! These living stones can be slippery though - they don’t always stay in the place they are designed for. But don’t worry. The construction is under way and soon one unified Temple will stand in the earth, perfectly crafted to shine forth His multi-faceted wisdom before all the universe. Now, THAT’S a TEMPLE!

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!
