Title Where the Lord is
Contents
Where the Lord is, only those who serve the Lord dwell. God will honor those who serve Him. The place where the Lord is is the dwelling place of God. It is the home of our Heavenly Father.
Therefore, He said, "If a man will serve me, follow me; where I am, there will also be those who serve me; and if a man serve me, my Father will honor him" (John 12:26).
That is the place of eternal rest. The Lord Himself said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled, because you believe in God, believe also in me. My Father's house has many dwelling places, otherwise I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you; I go and find a place for you. If you prepare, I will come again and receive you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be” (John 14:1-3).
These are all those who have received the Lord whom God has sent into the world, who have received the authority to become children of God by believing in His name. It is the same as the words of the evidence that is written, “Father, I want him whom you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may see the glory that you gave me because you loved me before the foundation of the world” (John 17:24).
These are those who follow the Lord to the eternal dwelling place where God Himself dwells along the new and living way opened through the veil by tearing apart the human body, which is the image of God, with the cross.
As it is written, “The veil of the sanctuary was torn from top to bottom, and became two in two” (Mark 15:38), and as it is written, “We have this hope, like an anchor for the soul, strong and secure, and enter into the veil. Jesus, who passed away, became high priest forever and entered for us according to the order of Melchizedek” (Hebrews 6:19-20), and again, “It is a new and living way that he opened for us through the veil, and the veil is It is my flesh” (Hebrews 10:20).
It is written, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, saith God..." (Genesis 1:26), according to the words of the evidence that the human body was made in the image of God and in the likeness of God. Since he has received it, he has come to the point of showing himself to be called God. Regarding this, the Bible says, “I give thanks to the Lord, for His creation is marvelous, and my soul knows well that Your works are marvelous” (Psalm 139:14).
The human body is the veil that covers the Holy of Holies where God dwells. Both the image and likeness of God are engraved on the veil. It is written, “You shall build the tabernacle according to the pattern shown on the mountain. You shall make a sheet of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely braided linen, and embroider cherubs skillfully on it, and cast it over the four pillars with gold hooks, and make the four pillars of carved wood. You shall wrap it in gold and place it on your silver socket, and after draping the cabinet under the hooks, bring the ark of the testimony into the cabinet, and he will separate for you the Holy and the Most Holy” (Exodus 26:30-33). “Put the mercy seat on the ark, and put the tablets of the testimony that I will give you into the ark, where I will meet you and tell you all that I will command you for the children of Israel between the two cherubim on the mercy seat, which is on the ark of the testimony.” (Exodus 25:21) 22) The veil is what separates the Holy from the Most Holy.
Therefore, if a person who is the image of God blocks the way to the Holy of Holies in his own body, he cannot abide in God. Therefore, the way of the cross is the way to tear the veil, that is, the human body, in order to enter into God.
God is seated between the cherubim. It is the same evidence as it is written, “Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; give ear, you who sit among the cherubim, let the light shine” (Psalm 80:1). That is the place of the Lord, the eternal resting place of the Father, with the eternal mercy seat (the mercy seat) under the wings of the cherub.
The Bible says, “The Ammonites and Moabites shall not enter the assembly of the Lord, and those who belong to them, not only teenagers, shall not enter the assembly of the Lord forever” (Deuteronomy 23:3). They tore it all together and followed Naomi into her husband's hometown, the house of God. This is why he testified, “May the Lord recompense what you have done, and may the Lord, the God of Israel, give you a complete reward, who have come to seek protection under His wings” (Ruth 2:12).
Also, as Paul said, “But I have nothing to boast about except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world” (Galatians 6:14). It is like a word.
Therefore, all of us who will dwell in the dwelling place of the Lord will, with precious faith, tear the world and the flesh together with Jesus on the cross, saying, “I will dwell in your tents forever, and under your wings I will take refuge” (Selah) (Psalm 61:4). . Amen, thank you Lord.
