Fellowship and the Tabernacle

Fellowship

The Lord stands on our doors and knocks-to enter, not to be a doorman. 

Revelation 3:20   Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

When the door is opened, He enters. But watch out for those that shall come through other means. It is interesting that He knocks on the same door which He again says, "I am the door."

 John 10:9   I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 

This brings to remembrance the scripture "I chose you." That no one comes to the father but the father Himself calls them. So when He calls, accept the call and open up your heart to Him.

He and the father come in and make a House within the lucky one. This becomes his temple - His place of worship(that is the purpose of temples, any where.) Moses Tabernacle (representing spiritual garments) was for God to dwell in. So is ours. The temple was also The Lords dwelling amongst-and the same way he dwells amongst His people as a whole too, aside from the personal relationship. This is why fellowship is important. This means that whoever brings God without Christ is not good for the sheep, he is a thief so do not hearken to their tales. Only the true shepherd gives pasture. 

John 10:2   But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.  John 10:7   Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.   John 10:9   I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 

The shepherd who is not true on the other hand fattens the shhep for slaughter:

Christ is the head of the church. Furthermore, we are being built into a temple that is being hewn together into a heavenly house. The Christ is the cornerstone(which the builders, out of folly rejected,) of one whole body.

 I always question the spirit behind the founders of these mostly separatists movements. but scripture seem to think it is sometimes a good idea- 1 John 2:19 ).

 1 Corinthians 12:12   For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 
  1 Corinthians 12:13   For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 
  1 Corinthians 12:14   For the body is not one member, but many. 

Divide and rule always worked in the colonial strategy of conquest and the Kingdom of this Age knows the power of the church being of one mind. Strife should not have a place in the body of Christ:

 Hebrews 6:16   For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

State of the Tabernacle

TABERNACLES
Dont ye know tat ye are the temple of the Holy Spirit?(Compare Jn 14:23, Eph 2:21,Eph 2:19,20.) The old tabernacle was built as per the pattern shown on the mountain. A more permanent(naturally) was later hewn by Solomon. The old tabernacle had temporalism as its attribute, synonymus of the journey of believers on the age, awaiting a more permanent abode.  Synonymous with salvation also is the drawing- with an splendid show of might, of Gods people from a nation of oppression, idolatry and any other mischief of the darkness. Note the temple could not be in Egypt. There had to be a decisive separation. Thus we are drawn out of the world, Separated, and this is the definition of sanctification. Pharaoh wasnt exited about this separation. He suggested they just do the worship thing with all their bondage secured. The prophet knew better. First such would be an abomination in the sight of Egypt and could cost their lives(Ex 8:26). The wicked are an  to the abomination to the righteous. Increase the righteous in a land and its transgression would be stamped out. this is a secret of warfare. It is the tool of the Gospel.

Principalities, powers, rulers, spiritual wickedness.

ORDER
What comes of the Ephesians 6 depiction of these is an organised system. There is a clear cut form of governmental authority. It is division of labor or powers, territory or principality and delegation for effectiveness. It is a snapshot view of the enemy territory that "we" are fighting. The artillery of the war is equally mysterious; loins girt about with truth, breastplate of righteousness, feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of truth, the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God, and prayer. These are the garments of the believer.They are also the impenetrable seals.

GARMENTS

GARMENTS/ CLOTHES
The differentiation  between different people is best understood from the point of view of garments. Garments depict status, purpose, designation, ability, belonging to a group etc. 

The scriptures have a different types of garments refered to. for example, the possibility of being clothed with 'our habitation from heaven'2nd cor 5:1. This is being covered  spiritually.

There are many references concerning garments being as white as snow. these are garments adorning believers. White garments, in the old testament adorned the priesthood as a show of righteousness. they spiritually,symbolize our status with God. So in scripture, you'll come across phrases like getting washed white, being given new clothes

Humility and obedience is one example of a "heavenly" garment. There are also numerous references to the garment of humility, and in the first chapter of proverbs, honor of parents is refered to as ornamental on the obedient. 

The priests in the Israelite temple adorned themselves with different frocks, ornamented by what was a likeness of fruits. Their colours matched the temple. This was a reflection of their significance. They had become living temples. We too have been adopted into the holy priesthood through Christ. In this instance, garments depicted status. It was a reflection of their ministerial roles before God. Each ministry is a kind of garment ... special power to execute it's purpose.

The fruits of the holy spirit, like humility, are refered to as garments.It therefore follows that these garments, spiritual in nature, are also fruits of the work of the Spirit of God in Us, starting with the first grace we received, of conviction by the Spirit of God. The garments can therefore be refered to as depiction of the grace of God as we are gradually transformed by his Spirit. We do grow in grace; 2nd peter 3:18. Each believer is adorned differently according to their fruit. Because what goes out to God gets returned, reinforced.

The Difference Between the Beast

 SHEEP FOUND, LOST SHEEP, AND OTHERS
(All scripture in reference to the king James bible )
The the difference is the sheep, or goats respectively. The sheep are of two types, the lost, and those already in the fold. All are elect, out of the seed of the earth. those who believe are saved from the powers of the adversarial domination of this world. The unsaved are also the lost sheep, wandering in a dangerous world, full of predators, and Jesus cares and intercedes for them, being those he died to reconcile to God. Christ is a shepherd. His are only the sheep. It is important to differentiate the sheep from other specie of animals as the line has gone blurred over the years.  Concoctions we have now in churches, now mixtures of sheep, goats, warewolves dressed up as sheep and spice it up wit a few serpents. While it is good for the sheep to love her enemies, but being watchful at the same time.
