God is Thought. The brightness
of our revelations depends upon the correctness of our
doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts laid
one upon
another, ascending into the mind of Christ.
(Luke
17:20,21) And when he was demanded of
the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he
answered
them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with
observation [Gk: ocular evidence: observation]: Neither
shall
they say, Lo [Look] here! or, lo [look] there! for, behold,
the kingdom of God [“the kingdom of heaven” Matt
19:23,24]
is within [Gk: inside] you.
[Whose thoughts are inside you?]
GOD IS PREPARING YOU TO BE A
SANCTUARY FOR HIS THOUGHTS
(HE IS HIS THOUGHTS)
(Exo
25:8-11) And let them make me a sanctuary [1];
that
I may dwell [Heb: reside or permanently stay: abide,
inhabit,
remain] among them [OT “among them” / NT “within
you”].
According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern [2]
of
the tabernacle [of the tabernacle in Heaven which is an
earthly physical
type and shadow of the spiritual body of Jesus Christ] [(draw a
blueprint of
the body)] [3], and the pattern [of those
instruments in
Heaven, i.e., angels] of all the instruments [4]
[in Heaven, i.e., furniture, vessels, pots, snuffdishes, tongs, etc.;
earthly
types and shadows of us as instruments of God, that is, of
angels]
thereof, even so shall ye make it. And they shall make an ark
[5] of shittim wood [6]: two cubits [7]
and a half [possibly over 6 feet] shall be the length
thereof,
and a cubit and a half [possibly over 3 feet] the
breadth
thereof, and a cubit and a half [possibly over 3 feet]
the height
thereof [i.e. a rectangular box/chest] [(draw a blueprint of
the ark
with the three inner items)]. And thou shalt overlay [Heb:
cover] it with pure gold [Heb: to shimmer] [a
metal that
symbolizes God in the OT relating to the Shekinah Glory of God],
within
[Heb: inside] and without [Heb: outside]
shalt
thou overlay [Heb: cover] it, and shalt make
upon it a
crown of gold round about. (Exo 25:40) And look that thou
make them [i.e.,
everything] after their pattern, which was shewed thee in
the
mount [Sinai].

their God.
