Teaching on Deuteronomy 33-34 and Revelation 21-22 from a Messianic Jewish Perspective. Apex of Gospel of God's kingdom. Jehovah's Witnesses have something right. Fantastic hermeneutic question. First as protos and new as kainos. Eating swine and mice won't be cool in the kingdom. Jerusalem comes down. Ezekiel's temple and sacrifices. Dream of no death, pain, crying. Everyone's thirsty and drinking. Toilets and poison fluid sources. Prerequisite to receiving promises. List of people disqualified from the Kingdom. Cowards, unbelieving, gross, murderers, pornos, drug users, liars, idolaters are going to the second death. Gad or God will be a name on gate of New Jerusalem. Extremist sacred namers will have to get over it. Apostolic foundations. Human and angelic measurements. Pearls aren't kosher. No Temple after thousand years. Sun is shrinking, study from Eddy and Bornazian. Torah defines unclean and abomination. Months without the sun and moon. Do the mizvot. Come Yeshua.

Early Christians went to Temple and synagogue when they could, but primarily gathered in homes in Jerusalem, Phillipi, Ephesus, Rome, Corinth, Colossae, and elsewhere. Time wasn't the sacred service hour on Sunday morning, it was Saturday night! Figurehead verse of the house church movement describing gatherings of disciples where each one had a gift, knew what it was, and contributed. Shaul's letter assumes that each person had a relationship with the Master, that the Ruach was present and moving, that they were gathered in a circle, not in rows facing the front, so that it was participatory and not spectator oriented and led by the Spirit rather than someone at the front, that it was an open meeting and not programmed or canned, and that it was small so that eveyone could be involved. Choice growing groups face to become huge and become less participatory, or multiply into a network of groups. Multiplication like a birth, not divorce.
