...for the gifts and the calling of You are a revocable. called according to Your purpose. Light, enlightenedI pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. after the counsel of His will. What is my calling?How do I walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which I have been called?What is the hope of my calling? That my eyes of my heart are enlightened? That I may know what the hope of His calling is? I began writing 1 Kings down in 2007. It was in my head long before that, in 1991. It is a big piece of work, so I have split it into two parts. This first half is more like 2 Samuel. It is still about me and who I am. It is about my own ego. Who is God? Who am I to God? What is His character, His power, His nature? What is His purpose? What is His purpose for me? How does He relate to me? This is my personal spiritual journey. God's Natural and Moral Attributes are in everything that He does. I want to try to relate His actions with who my Creator is and why He does what He does. I am called to let you hear our conversations and make you a part of it. As I look back now, the same today as then: what is in my heart is much bigger and much clearer than the small paragraphs presented. The sentences do not seem coherent but if you read the chapter and the verse of the Scripture, each sentence is a summary of what is in my heart. My mind cannot put into words what it is I am actually saying. I am unable to convey what the Holy Spirit inside of me is crying out - too deep for human words. May these words be interpreted into your heart and may you understand what it is I am trying to say. His Natural Attributes of How He is in Himself are Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Eternal, Immutable, Self-Existent, Self-Sufficient, Infinite, Incomprehensible, Transcendent, and Sovereign. His Moral Attributes of How He relates to His Creation are Holy, Gracious, Merciful, Longsuffering, Righteous, Just, Loving, Good, Wise, Truthful, Faithful, Wrathful, and Jealous.Moses' tabernacle is a replica of what is in heaven. It is blueprints You gave him on Mount Sinai. You instructed Moses to let them construct a sanctuary for You, that You may dwell among them. According to all that You showed Moses, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so he constructed it. What did Moses' tabernacle have to do with King Solomon's Temple? He did everything Moses did. Why? What does this mean? Why would You have Solomon do that? Why is Solomon's Temple the same as Moses' tabernacle? Why is his extravagance just like the tent? Why would You set the tent and stone and gold?Every skillful person in whom You have put skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all that You have commanded. You said to Moses that You will dwell among the sons of Israel and will be their God. How am I a temple of You My LORD? How can I be a temple of the living God? How is that possible? How do You dwell in me? Am I just a tent of meeting carrying You around? Is there a temple of heaven that You dwell in? How do I make an extravagant temple like King Solomon's Temple? If You dwell in me then why does it matter how Moses or Solomon built a house for You the way they did? Why did Solomon follow Moses' pattern? But where is the throne? In new Jerusalem? Is it invisible? Made of Spirit? Why do You want them after the pattern for them, which was shown to Moses on the mountain? Solomon's Temple serves as a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by You. Your WORD is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. These are the questions I ask my God as I read His Word. Thank you for listening.
