If we [those who are in Christ] cannot accept and operate within the roles God has given us... are we prepared to accept and operate within the roles God has prepared for us in the kingdom?

Daniel's life in the court of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon called upon him to take a stand for obedience to the living God rather that human government.

Daniel in the Court of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon

There is a new world order coming... but not the way people imagine it. There is "one world government" coming... but not as people hope or fear. The groundwork for the "new world order"... "one world government" is being prepared by God through His Church.

Everything God is currently working on is directed toward the restoration of His will upon earth. Everything we are doing now is preparing for that next step... which is the return of Christ.

Daniel was a teenager who was taken captive by Babylonian army in the year 605 B.C.  He would be used by God to record important prophecies concerning the course of human history from the fall of Israel through to the end of age and the return of the Messiah.

The Life and Times of Daniel the Prophet

Jesus rode a donkey for his final entry in to Jerusalem, on one hand to fulfill prophecy... on the other hand to signify that He comes in peace.

Was Judas [and the others] becoming impatient with Jesus... wanting to see more action... more implementation of social justice... a more obvious political stance against the Roman oppressors... was there bitterness? ... questions about how money was being handled?

Whatever it was, Satan used the opportunity to enter Judas and use him to inflict damage on his enemy... Jesus.

Each of the 7 festivals pictures a necessary, and distinct, step in the work God is doing. They are a road map for the process of our own spiritual creation... and for God's large scale plan of filling the universe with life. They cover past, present, and future... They address all the known universe... They are for every man, woman, and child who has ever drawn the breath of life.

👉 Why Should Christians Keep The Biblical Festivals of Leviticus 23

The proper response to the deliverance made possible through Christ is obedience and effort to overcome sin. The back-to-back biblical festivals of Passover and Unleavened Bread picture the effort God is expecting us to make after He has redeemed us from the penalty of sin.

Your conscience is an important part of what makes you human in the image of God, self aware, and self determining. Through it you are subject to a set of standards outside your own head. 

Your conscience can be trained... for better or for worse. It can be trained to judge rightly by God's word... it can also be trained to trade good for evil.

A guilty conscience is there to warn you and help you overcome sin. You can ignore it or you can use your sense of guilt as motivation to change and allow yourself to molded into a fully mature child of God.

👉 The Church is the Temple of God

Christ & the Church: Together We Are a Temple

The bible often compares spiritual realities to features of our day to day existence to draw out some feature of that spiritual reality... Jesus compared the work of the holy spirit to the wind "you can't see the wind but you can see the results of the wind". Sometimes a variety of different comparisons are made about the same thing. Each drawing attention to a different aspect of the spiritual reality.

The relationship of Christ and the church is just such a subject. It is compared to a marriage, it is compared to human anatomy, it is compared to a shepherd with his flock, it is compared to a city with citizens, and it is compared to a temple.

Today we will look at the relationship of Christ & the Church through the analogy of the temple where they come together.
