“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

John 10: 9   I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah

How the City of Zion is glorified in us

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the past day we meditated certain things regarding the way in which God builds Zion within us. This city had twelve gates; and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. In the past day, we meditated regarding how the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and how it will unite with the Cornerstone of Zion. Today we see that the city has twelve gates. We are going to meditate today regarding the twelve angels that were near the gates.

In order to build that city, God is showing Jacob as a pattern. We meditated in the past day that it was also Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The promise was given to Abraham in the beginning, by God, that in Isaac your seed shall be called and in the same way, Isaac's son Jacob is made to increase. We see that God tells Jacob, while in Egypt that I will make you a great nation. In order to make him that great nation, God brings Jacob and his twelve sons to Egypt, to the city of Goshen and there the Israelites bought land and we can see that they multiply and increase there.

In Egypt itself, we see that God fulfills the promise that he gave Abraham.

But, in Hebrews 11: 15, 16 And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 

But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

That city is the city of Zion. This city, among the twelve father's of the tribes of Jacob, arises from the tribe of Judah. We mediated regarding this in the past day.

The Word of God tells us that this city has twelve gates. In order of God to dwell, God builds the temple of Jerusalem through Solomon, the son of David. That temple is filled with glory. But Solomon, defiles that temple, for the sake of foreign women, and he built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon. Not only that but because in that temple,  the people did things that did not please God, therefore we see that Jesus Christ said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise the temple up.” This temple is the Holy Spirit.

The New Jerusalem, the holy city, Revelation 21: 11 - 13 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 

Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 

three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.

We come to know that in order to write the names of the twelve tribes, God has predestined Jacob. It is written that the holy city had twelve gates; and twelve angels at the gates. These twelve angels are the twelve different fruits given by the Tree of life, which is our Lord Jesus Christ.

On the gates of the city, the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel was written means

Ezekiel 48: 31 (the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel), the three gates northward: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi; 

on the east side, four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan; 

on the south side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun; 

on the west side, four thousand five hundred cubits with their three gates: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali. 

All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from that day shall be: THE LORD IS THERE.”

My dear people, firstly in our life we must be the generation of Jacob. If we enter the temple of God, with the traditional life of the bondage of Egypt, we will not be able to know about the deliverance of the soul (regarding Salvation). Therefore, God is showing us Jacob as a pattern. When we become Christians initially, God is showing us the twelve gates which will be in us. But God is standing outside our hearts. That is why, it is said that the angels were there at the gates.  On the gates of the city, the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel was written. We meditated in the past days regarding the deeds of the twelve names. These are our traditional deeds. Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

From this, in this city, in a new experience, the teachings of the apostles will begin to work. Then all the old things will pass away and new things will be created.

That is why, Jesus Christ says, “Destroy this temple. He is changing the old experience, and in order to fill us with a new grace Our Lord Jesus Christ, who spoke to the apostles in those days, is speaking to us today.

That is why, in 2 Corinthians 5: 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

If we obey Christ's true gospel and remove our old traditional deeds, then in this day, we must leave the traditional deeds of our father's of the tribes and reconcile with Christ.

2 Corinthians 5: 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

If we will reconcile in this manner, he will become a sin for our sins and for us to walk in holiness he gives us his holy blood. In this manner, to each one of us, in order to reconcile with God, he has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

If we will submit to God's will in this manner, the Christ who standing outside our door, will enter the gate of our heart.

In Ephesians 2: 21, 22 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 

in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

My dear people, if we will submit in this manner to God, we will not do these deeds but by one spirit we will manifest as Christ's temple.

When we are filled with Christ's glory like this, the twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

Revelation 21: 22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 

Gold means the manifestation of God's glory. Revelation 21: 23, 24 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 

And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it

Let us all pray that we receive such blessings in this day.

May the Lord bless us all.
