ONE RELIGIOUS ORDNANCES(LAWS) CONTROL BOTH THE EARTHLY TEMPLE(SANCTUARY) AND THE HEAVENLY TEMPLE.
In Isaiah 46:9-10. God states that He declares, “the end from the beginning.” In other words, those who want to “search out” what is prophesied to happen at the end of the age must first make the connection to what happened in the beginning.
THE SANCTUARY JOHN THE REVELATOR SAW COMPARED TO THE SANCTUARY MOSES BUILT IN THE WILDERNESS.
It makes sense, then, lets compare the Sanctuary(Temple) John in Revelation saw in heaven compare to that of the Sanctuary(Tent/Temple) Moses built on earth.
Rev 11:19(a) God’s Temple that is in heaven was opened, and the Ark Of The Lord’s Covenant was seen in his Temple.
Rev 15:5 After these things I looked, and the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony in heaven was opened.
Here we see in Revelation that (1), The Temple is in Heaven, (2) The Ark of Covenant which contains the Torah(Law) is also in heaven.
(3) How Religious ordnances was done in heaven.
God revealed to Moses all the religious ordnances(services) as a copy of what was already in existence in heaven.
Reading Genesis 1:14(GNB) Then God commanded, *Let lights appear in the sky to separate day from night and to show the time when days, years, and religious festivals begin;(Note: Religious festivals is translated in Hebrew as Mo'ed and in other versions as Appointed times or seasons.)
Gen 2:1 The heavens, the earth, and all their vast array were finished.
2 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. 3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.
MOSES CONSTRUCTED THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY(TENTS) ACCORDING TO ITS COPY/IMAGE OF THE SANCTUARY IN HEAVEN.
God call Moses on the mountain and revealed this same Sanctuary(Tents/Temple) John the Revelator saw in heaven and commanded Moses to build the same Tents(Sanctuary) according to its pattern/copy/image/shadow/revelation shown to him.
(Note: God has Only One TEMPLE located in Jerusalem this earth where dwells and the rest are Synagogues(Local Churches)]
Exo 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
Exo 25:40 And see that thou make them after their pattern, which is being shown thee in the mount.
THE ARK OF COVENANT WAS FASHION ACCORDING TO THE SANCTUARY IN HEAVEN AND PLACED IN THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY.
Exo 40: 1 And the Lord said to Moses,
2 On the first day of the first month you are to put up the House of the Tent of meeting.
3 And inside it put the ark of the law, hanging the veil before it.
Exo 40:17 So on the first day of the first month(ie New Moon/Month) in the second year the Sanctuary(Tent) was put up. Vrs
20 And he took the law and put it inside the ark, and put the rods at its side and the cover over it; 21 And he took the ark into the Sanctuary(Tent), hanging up the veil before it as the Lord had given him orders.
Exo 25:16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE TEMPLE IN HEAVEN COMPARE TO THE ONE MOSES BUILT.
Rev 15:8 The Temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.
Exo 40:34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses wasn’t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.
THE LORD HIMSELF CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND GAVE THE LAWS AND ORDNANCES CONCERNING THE SANCTUARY SERVICE IN HEAVEN.
Neh 9:13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant.
Lev 26:46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
ONE RELIGIOUS LAWS(ORDNANCES) REGULATES BOTH THE EARTHLY TEMPLE AND TO THAT OF THE TEMPLE IN HEAVEN.
These are the religious ordnances(laws) of the sanctuary services both in the earthly sanctuary and that of heaven. (1) Daily prayers of morning and evenings (sacrifices) Exo 29:38-40, (2) Weekly Sabbath(Exo 20:8-11), (3), New Moon/month(Num 28:11-14), # Religious Festivals (a) Passover (Exo 12:1-14), Feast of Weeks/Pentecost (Lev 23:15-21), Feast of Tabernacles(Lev 23:33-39).
SOLOMON BUILT GOD TEMPLE.
In 2 Chr 2:1 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
THE GLORY OF GOD FILLED THE TEMPLE SOLOMON BUILT SIMILAR TO THAT OF MOSES.
2 Chr 5:13 when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the shofars note and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, “For he is good; for his loving kindness endures forever!” then the house was filled with a cloud, even the LORD’s house, 14 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled God’s house.
ONE ORDNANCES (LAW) IN SANCTUARY MOSES BUILT TO THAT OF SOLOMON.
2 Chr 2: 4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
2 Chr 8:12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread(Passover), and in the feast of weeks(Pentecost), and in the feast of tabernacles.
THE PRIESTS IN THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY(TEMPLE) SERVES AS A COPY OF THE TEMPLE IN HEAVEN.
Heb 8:5 And(The Priests in the Temple) serve a copy and type of the heavenly things, just as Moses was divinely instructed when about to build the Sanctuary. For God said, "See that you make everything in imitation of the pattern shown you on the mountain." meaning exactly how the Priests use to minister in the earthly sanctuary was a copy(type/pattern/shadow) of the Temple service in heaven. And the pattern of their ministry were daily morning and evening prayers(Sacrifices), Weekly Sabbath, New Moon(Month) and the Religious Festivals.
EZEKIEL'S VISION OF THE FUTURE TEMPLE IN THE MESSIANIC ERA.
Ezekiel vision of the future Messianic era Temple extends all the way from Eze 41-47
Reading Eze 45:16 All the people of the land shall give to this offering for the prince(Messiah) in Israel. 17 It shall be the prince’s part to give the burnt offerings, the meal offerings, and the drink offerings, in the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the Sabbaths, in all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel. He shall prepare the sin offering, the meal offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
Eze 46:1 The Lord GOD says: “The gate of the inner court that looks towards the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened. 2 The Prince(Messiah) shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening. 3 The people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before the LORD on the Sabbaths and on the new moons.
A COPY/TYPE/SHADOW/REVELATION OF HOW WORSHIP IS DONE IN HEAVEN IS TO COME IN THE NEW EARTH.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect to religious festivals, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow (pattern/type/revelation) of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
THE TEMPLE IN HEAVEN IS PARALLEL TO THE THE EARTHLY TEMPLE AND THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS PARALLEL TO THE KINGDOM ON EARTH TO COME IN THE FUTURE.
One Religious Ordnances and Laws confirms by the Lord of heaven and earth which was already in existence in heaven as a kingdom and will come as a future earthly Temple in the kingdom on earth where the Prince(Messiah) will be both King in the Temple and King in the Kingdom.
God want us to keep on rehearsing his Religious ordnances(Laws) as his congregation on earth serving as a copy of which the reality will come the the city of the living God, Mount Zion together with his heavenly congregation of multitudes of angels , see Heb 12: 22 But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels, 23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect.
For you it is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God but to the rest it is not given to them for they read but don't understand. This is the KEYS OF DAVID(Rev 3:7).
