Knowing and Experiencing God as the God of Glory and the God of the House of God

November 6, 2017 by aGodMan 9 Comments

Glory is the expression of God, and building is the corporate expression of the Triune God; thus, the glory of God and the building of God go together, for the church, as God’s building, is the corporate expression of God - Exo. 40:34-38; 1 Kings 8:10-11; Rev. 21:10-11; Eph. 3:19, 21; 1 Tim. 3:15-16.

This week we come to the last crystal in the book of Ezekiel, The Return of the Glory of God to the House of God, and today we want to see how our God is the God of glory and also the God of the house of God. The main burden of this … [Continue reading]

God is Obtaining a Holy Temple and a Holy City to Dwell with and Reign in His People

November 3, 2017 by aGodMan 5 Comments

In the church as His building today, God has His temple, His dwelling place, and He also has His city for His administration. In this way, the church becomes the center for the fellowship with God and for the reigning of God. If we have the adequate enjoyment of Christ as the good land, there will be an issue—the temple and the city. When there is the temple and the city in the good land, God will have His expression, we will enjoy God and God will enjoy us, and we and God will have mutual satisfaction. Witness Lee, Life-study of Ezekiel, pp. 322-323

At the end of Ezekiel and at the end of Revelation God gains a holy temple and a holy city in which He can rest, dwell, be satisfied, and rule among man. In the holy city God can rule and reign with His authority, and in the holy temple He can dwell … [Continue reading]

We need to Draw Near to God to be the Priests and Kings Ministering to Him Today

November 1, 2017 by aGodMan 10 Comments

1 Pet. 2:5, 9 You yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house into a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ....But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired for a possession, so that you may tell out the virtues of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

The more we draw near to God to be closer to Him as priests and kings to God, the more important we are to Him, and the more He can fulfil His purpose through us. The picture portrayed by the allotment of the land in Ezek. 48:1-35 shows that, in … [Continue reading]

Enjoying Christ as the Good Land in the Sphere of His Death and in His Resurrection

October 31, 2017 by aGodMan 8 Comments

On the north side of the good land, there is no river as a border; instead, there is Mount Hermon, a high mountain, which signifies the heavens, from which the dew of God’s grace descends on the mountains of Zion, typifying the local churches (Psa. 133); the elevated good land with Mount Hermon signifies the resurrected Christ, who has ascended to the heavens. Crystallization-Study of Ezekiel (2), outline 11

The borders of the good land as seen in Ezek. 47 are the Mediterranean Sea on the west, the Dead Sea and the Jordan river on the east, and Mount Hermon on the north. The good land is surrounded by waters of death, signifying that, as we enjoy … [Continue reading]

The Church is the issue of the Enjoyment of the Riches of Christ as the Good Land

October 30, 2017 by aGodMan 13 Comments

By enjoying the riches of the land, the children of Israel were able to build up the temple to be God’s habitation on earth and the city of Jerusalem to establish God’s kingdom on earth; likewise, by enjoying the unsearchable riches of Christ, the believers in Christ are built up to be Christ’s Body, the church, which is Christ’s fullness, His expression (Eph. 1:22-23), and which is also the habitation of God (2:21-22; 1 Tim. 3:15) and the kingdom of God (Matt. 16:18-19; Rom. 14:17). The sanctuary, the temple, is God’s house for His rest, and the city is God’s kingdom for His authority; both typify the church as God’s house and God’s kingdom, which will consummate in the New Jerusalem in eternity for the fulfillment of God’s eternal economy - Ezek. 48:8, 15; 1 Tim. 3:15; Rom. 14:17; Rev. 21:22-3, 22; 22:1, 3, 5. Crystallization-Study of Ezekiel (2), outline 11

The holy temple and the holy city were built on and were the issue of the holy land, showing that the church is the issue of the enjoyment of the riches of Christ. The last two chapters of Ezekiel speak a lot concerning the holy land - not merely of … [Continue reading]
