In Exodus, as well as in 1 Kings/2 Chronicles, we read about the glory of The LORD filling the tabernacle/temple. The glory of The LORD manifests as a bright cloud. Two passages which show us this are quoted below. "…So Moses finished the work. Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the …

Desiring the Best for Others
In Zechariah 3:5, we see Zechariah asking for a fair mitre to be placed upon the head of Joshua in a vision he is being given from God. And, in Zechariah 6:11 God instructs Zechariah to literally place crowns of gold and silver and set them upon Joshua's head. The vision and the action are …
Seeking Sanctification in Others
Humility is one of the most important characteristics for us as Christians. For Jesus Himself says "I am meek and lowly in heart" and Jesus, in the greatest act of humility "emptied Himself and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion …
Making Yourself Poor
If you seek to make yourself rich on this earth, in reality you have nothing, though you may obtain and possess many physical things. On the other hand, if you make yourself poor on this earth, by giving your things and money away, you will have great riches in heaven. Both states cannot be true. …
Boasting in The Cross
David says in Psalms 21:5, speaking of "the king," "His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him." This is quite remarkable.

The reason salvation is so magnificent is because through it we get to intimately know and expereince God through Jesus, who is the "fullness of the Godhead in bodily form." Jesus Himself …
Deliverance From Affliction
The LORD delivers us out of all afflictions. We can be confident that The LORD will save us from our troubles and afflictions. We only need to trust in Him, fear Him, cry out to Him. It may not be immediate, it may only come with death, but The LORD will be faithful to His …
Breaking Sin Into Pieces
There is a passage which speaks of the millennium, when Jesus Christ will rule upon earth, upon David's throne for a thousand years. But I think we can also take it and apply it spiritually to ourselves right now. It is found in the Psalms. "The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the …
Productive Hearing
When we hear God's word, we must be careful to hear it correctly. There is a possibility of listening or reading God's word and it not bearing fruit in our lives because we listened to it or read it incorrectly. Look at two passages from Ezekiel and Hebrews, which shows us the importance of welcoming …
A Pure Reflection
In Hebrews, we learn that the tabernacle was a shadow of heavenly things. The writer tells us that on earth, "...there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, …
