The Triune God is Dispensing Himself into His People to gain His Corporate Expression

The Triune God is Dispensing Himself into His People to gain His Corporate Expression

When the glory of God filled the tabernacle and the cloud descended upon the tent of meeting in Exo. 40, God has finally obtained a dwelling place on earth among His people for His corporate expression; the Triune God is dispensing Himself into His people to make them His corporate expression, His house, His dwelling place.

The tabernacle is a type of Christ, who is the Word of God incarnated to…

How Amazing it is that the Triune God is Embodied and Expressed Through the Church!

How Amazing it is that the Triune God is Embodied and Expressed Through the Church!

It is quite amazing to see how the tabernacle filled with the glory of Jehovah and covered by the cloud in Exo. 40 is a full type of the Triune God.

At the end of Exodus everything is coming to a consummation, a conclusion: God finished giving Moses the instructions for the building of the tabernacle, He selected two master builders and some wise in heart to build up the tabernacle, and…

The Desire of God's Heart is Fulfilled when His Glory Fills the Tabernacle, the Church

The Desire of God’s Heart is Fulfilled when His Glory Fills the Tabernacle, the Church

This is our last week in the Crystallization-Study of Exodus, and the topic we are enjoying is, The Erecting of the Tabernacle and the Tabernacle, the Cloud, and the Glory being a Full Type of the Triune God (based on Exo. 40, the last chapter of Exodus, where we see the desire of God’s heart fulfilled).

When we are further reconciled to God and enter into God, our journey doesn’t stop there; we…

The Principle of the Sabbath is that we First Enjoy God and Rest in Him, then we Work

The Principle of the Sabbath is that we First Enjoy God and Rest in Him, then we Work

After seeing who are the workers of the tabernacle and what are their qualifications, today we want to see how God rested and was refreshed on the Sabbath, and therefore He charged that His people would keep His Sabbaths (Exo. 31:13-16); today we want to see what it means to keep the principle of the Sabbath.

Who is qualified to build the tabernacle, that is, to build up the church? In Exodus…

Being Willing to be Emptied and Freshly Filled with the Spirit to Build up the Church

Being Willing to be Emptied and Freshly Filled with the Spirit to Build up the Church

In order for us to do the building work of God’s house, we need to be wise in heart, receive wisdom, understanding, and grace from God, and we need to be stirred up in our heart to do the noble work of building up the church; above all, we need to be emptied and unloaded so that we may be freshly filled with the Spirit of God for God’s building.

What a noble work we are called to do: we were…

Becoming Pillars in God's Building to be an Entrance for others Deeper into God

Becoming Pillars in God’s Building to be an Entrance for others Deeper into God

In our prayerful study of the tabernacle with its furnishings, we realize that we need to become pillars in the Triune God, as signified by the nine pillars in the tabernacle, so that we may be one with Christ for many to enter into God’s building and even enter deeper into God Himself.

This whole week we saw the eightfold significance of the tabernacle and how it applies to our Christian life…

Requirements we must Fulfill for us as the Church to be the Breastplate of Judgment

Requirements we must Fulfill for us as the Church to be the Breastplate of Judgment

The central item of the garments of the priest was the breastplate, which was like a heavenly, divine, and spiritual typewriter, since it was through it that God spoke to His people; today we need to experience the spiritual reality of the breastplate in the church life and we even need to be the breastplate.

The breastplate is actually a type not only of the Lord’s speaking to His people with…

Seeking God's Speaking and Leading by Reading the Actual Situation in God's Light

Seeking God’s Speaking and Leading by Reading the Actual Situation in God’s Light

It is quite impressive to see that the breastplate of judgment for God’s leading was like a heavenly, divine, and spiritual typewriter (or keyboard), and His way of speakign through the breastplate with the Urim and the Thummim is the opposite of what we would expect.

We would expect that God would speak to His people through the shining stones, but actually He used the darkened stones to convey…
