The Season of the Son: It’s Your Time! (Part 3)

The Season of the Son: It’s Your Time! (Part 3)
15 And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning. 16 So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.– Numbers 9: 15-17

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. – Romans 8:14

Upon its completion the glory – the weight, the honor, the esteem, the majesty, the abundance, the wealth, the presence of the Lord in the form of a cloud filled His place of residence, the Tabernacle, the tent of the testimony – His private home. This indicated that the Lord approved of the work done by Moses and the children of Israel. They had followed His instructions to the letter.
The standard of measurement used to build the Tabernacle was based on the measure of a man – called a cubit. The man from whom these measurements were taken was usually the King. A cubit is an ancient unit based on the length of a man’s forearm, from elbow to the tip of the middle finger, usually from 17 to 21 inches. A finger measures about 3/4 of an inch. A hand is roughly 3 to 3 ½ inches. God used measurements based on a man to build the things which were to house his presence. From the beginning God had it in His mind to create man to be a personal, private residence for His presence. Look at this, "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" (Genesis 2:7). Notice what it says, "God… breathed into", or in other words, "God… inspired" or put His Spirit into man, making man His house, His temple.

My friend, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? “ (1 Corinthians 6:19). You are His house. You are His temple and everywhere you go, the house of worship goes with you. Everywhere you go the house of praise goes with you. Everywhere you go the house of power goes with you. Everywhere you go the house of purity goes with you. You are the Tabernacle, the place where His glory dwells. You are the Ark that carries His covenant. You are the instrument to be used for the salvation of others. You were designed by God to be His house.. “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:” (Ephesians 4;13). You were measured to meet the standard of King Jesus. (To be continued)
