"The Secret of GOD," as revealed by John in the Revelation of Christ, between the chapters, of chapter 11-2, with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

We are taking a deep look into "The Measure of the Temple." Keeping in mind that the Saints make up the Living Temple of GOD'S earthly presence, for He both dwells among us but also within us as His Christ ones.

Continuing with The Measure of the Temple:


Our base scripture is Revelation 11:1-2 which when read with a renewed mind reads as: I was handed a measuring reed resembling a royal scepter and instructed to arise and measure the inner sanctuary of GOD and the altar as well as those who worshiped in there. This measuring shall not include the outer court since it was given to the multitudes who would be treading around the outskirts of the holy city for forty-two months.

Colossians 1:26-27 Humanity's most sought after quest, the mystery which has remained elusive and concealed for ages and generations, is now fully realized in our redeemed innocence. Within us, GOD is delighted to exhibit the priceless treasure of this glorious unveiling of Christ's indwelling in order that every person on the planet, whoever they are, may now come to the greatest discovery of all time and recognize Christ in them as in a mirror! He is the [1] desire of the nations and completes their every expectation! (He is not hiding in history, or in outer space nor in the future, neither in the pages of Scripture, he is merely mirrored there to be unveiled within you. Mat. 13:44, Gal. 1:15, 16, 2Cor. 3:18, 4:4, 7. This is huge! What GOD was able to disclose in the Saints is immediately equally relevant in the nations! Christ in the nations is the hope of glory! This is the mystery of the ages! This is what we were waiting for [1, Haggai 2:6-7])

John 2:17-18, 19, 21-22 This incident reminded His disciples of the Scripture, 'I am consumed with zeal for my Father's house!' (Ps. 69:9) The Jews demanded to know from Jesus how, what He has just done in the temple, could possibly point to the significance of His messianic mission. "Show us a sign!" To which Jesus responded, 'The temple will be completely destroyed by you and in three days I will raise it up!' They did not understand that the temple Jesus was pointing to, was the human body. (In Him, the only true address of GOD was to be redeemed in human life in His resurrection! See Hosea 6:2, 'After two days He will revive us, on the third day He will raise us up!' also Ephesians 2:5 and 1Peter 1:3, Acts 7:47-50. But it was Solomon who built a house for him. Yet the Most High does not dwell in houses made with hands; As the Prophet says, 'Heaven in My Throne, and earth My footstool. What house will you build for Me, says the LORD, or what is the place of My rest? Did not My hand make all these things?'

The word heiros speaks of the greater temple building with all its outer courts etc....whereas the word Jesus used here is naos, referring to the inner sanctuary - this is also the word Paul used in 1Corinthians 6:16, "Do you not realize that your body by design is the sacred shrine of the Spirit of GOD?" This is the most sacred place in the universe! There is nowhere in eternity that can match this! See John 1:14, "And the Word became flesh and now resides within us! And 14:20, 'In that day you will know that I am in My Father and you in Me and I in you!'" These words of Jesus as well as their significant prophetic connection with Scripture gave such clear context to the disciples when they later, after His resurrection, recalled all these things."

Colossians 1:19, 2:9-10  The full measure of GOD'S [1] happy delight in human life indwells Him. (Delightful intent, [1, G2106] eudokeo.)...All of [1] Deity [2] resided in Him, in a human body! He proves that human life is tailor-made for GOD! ( The word, [1, G2320] theotes, means godhead/deity, is feminine in form. Jesus gave detailed expression of what the Father, Son and Spirit is like, in human form. The word, [2, G2730] katoikeo means to dwell in, to inhabit. While the expanse cannot measure or define GOD, their exact likeness is displayed in human skin. See Col. 1:19, "GOD is fully at home in Him." Jesus exhibited GOD'S happy delight to be human.) And you are in Him! He is the [1] chief authority and [2] fountainhead of your being, [3] endorsing your completeness. (The word, [1, G746] arche, means chief in rank. The head - [2, G3739, G2776] he kaphale. GOD packaged completeness in "I am." The word, [3, G1849] exousia, is often translated authority; is from (G1832 is in the third person singular present indicative of a compound of G1537 ek and G1510 eimi ) ek + eimi , originating out of "I am." The days are over where our lives were dicated to under the rule of the law of performance and an inferior identity.)

Ephesians 4:7, 11, 13 Grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of the gift of Christ....What GOD has in us is gift wrapped to the world....Standing face-to-face in equal stature to the measure of the [1] completeness of Christ. (The word, [1, G4138] pleroma, means a life filled to the brim with Christ, like a freight ship carrying its cargo.) (The Mirror, with editing.)

Okay, we are through the first note the LORD willing we shall look at the next, "Two Witnesses dressed in Sackcloth," in our next visit. May the LORD bring life alive within you and yours.
