Transferring the Legacy & Distinguishing of Tabernacles– South Africa 2010 The Church Unusual Page 1 Session 7 The God of Generations God is a god of Generations. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, 12 tribes of Israel. Important statements: 1. Each generation is crucial and strategic in God’s plan. Elijah got the Mandate, Elisha nurtured it, Jehu got the power to execute it. Each generation must receive their own specific revelation for with this revelation each must then run their race in order to fulfil destiny. 2. Each generation rises out of a spiritual vacuum which proves God is real in their day. Each has their own challenges. They will fight it, rise up and shine brightly. Never make children feel they cannot do it. Do not play them down. Allow them to look up to you and be their hero, their model, their leader. Somebody they can always look up to. They need to be shown what they become when they have grown up. Teach them values and leave them with the possibility to choose. You must trust them. They must know you believe them. You must raise them up to be trustworthy, not to be controlled by you. They must know that they can and will make a difference. Remember: in the midst of all perversity we do not have to be afraid. We can trust God. We follow Him, laying down our life, having received everything we have from Him. Fathers must lay the inheritance for their children’s children because of the future that will come. The system will be too much of a demand for too little of resources. The pressure will be impossible to stand without being prepared well. 3. Each generation is marked by perversions of the reigning culture and the dominant thought pattern of that day. The reigning culture of today is perverted relationship. ‘ I will go where I am used and needed’ The only way to destroy this is building differently. Having relationship with honour and covenant. People in church are not related, just contributing. Being ready to leave any day. We need to live by a different code of ethics. Show and live a model that is based on righteousness and truth.

Mar 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Mar 11:23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up
and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.
Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Joh 14:7 If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Joh 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know
me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?
Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.
Gen 18:17 And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham that which I do; Gen 18:18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? Gen 18:19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
‐ God chose Abraham because Abraham was commanding His children to walk after Him‐ Children are commanded by their father‐ You keep the way of God by doing !‐ The father sees all of us who are connected as one – one being blessed means everyone being

1Chronicles 15:1-3 And David made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath Jehovah chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him forever. And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah unto its place, which he had prepared for it.
1Chronicles 15:12-13 and said unto them, Ye are the heads of the fathers' house of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto the place that I have prepared for it. For because ye bare it not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance.

1Chronicles 21:25-3- SoDavid gave toOrnan for the place six hundred shekels of gold byweight. AndDavid built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt‐offerings and peace‐offerings,andcalleduponJehovah;andheansweredhimfromheavenbyfireuponthealtarofburnt‐offering. And Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into thesheaththereof.Atthattime,whenDavidsawthatJehovahhadansweredhiminthethreshing‐floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. For the tabernacle of Jehovah, whichMosesmade in thewilderness, and the altar of burnt‐offering,were at that time in the highplaceatGibeon.ButDavidcouldnotgobeforeittoinquireofGod;forhewasafraidbecauseoftheswordoftheangelofJehovah.

1Kings 3:4-5 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
1Kings 3:15 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream: and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

Amos 9:1-4,9 I saw the Lord standing beside the altar: and he said, Smite the capitals, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape. Though they dig into Sheol, thence shall my hand take them; and though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down. And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and it shall bite them. Amos 9:4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
Amos 9:9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the
nations, like as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least kernel fall upon the earth.

Lord,givemecapacitytoreceive,retain,andreleaseintime.Psa 78:70 He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds: Psa 78:71 From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the
shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. Psa 78:72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them
Psa 78:1 Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
Psa 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old, Psa 78:3 Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us. Psa 78:4 We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the
praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done. Psa 78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he
commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; Psa 78:6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be
born; Who should arise and tell them to their children,
Psa 78:7 That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,
Psa 78:8 And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

Psa 78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.
Psa 78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law; Psa 78:11 And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.
They didn’t believe God is able to protect them. They turned back. God forbid that after all theequipping we have received we will turn back. What a disappointment for God. Well equippedpeopleturningback.
Hos 7:8 Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Hos 7:9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are
Hos 7:15 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise mischief against me.
Hos 7:16 They return, but not to him that is on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Hos 13:12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store. Hos 13:13 The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise
son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children. Do not allow Ephraim access to the next generation. Do not allow him to transmit
that spirit. Hos 13:15 Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the
breath of Jehovah coming up from the wilderness; and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall make spoil of the treasure of all goodly vessels.
Hos 14:1-9 O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Take with you words, and return unto Jehovah: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and
accept that which is good: so will we render as bullocks the offering of our lips. Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon. Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found. Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein.

Isa 59:3-4 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness.

Isa 59:11 We roar all like bears, and moan sore like doves: we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Isa 59:4 None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. Isa 59:5 They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. Isa 59:6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. Isa 59:7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their paths.
Isa 59:8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no justice in their goings: they have made them crooked paths; whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.

Isa 59:21 And as for me, this is my covenant with them, saith Jehovah: my Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for ever.

Mat 19:12 For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
The third level is always the most powerful and most glorious. Eunuchs served as verytrusted aids to dignitaries and kings. No personal agendas. By being a eunuch they havedemonstratedthattheyhavegivenawaytheirlife.
Jeremiah 38:7-10 Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin,) Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying, My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city. Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
Gen 37:2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them unto their father.
Gen 37:11 And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind.

I am envisioning the day and time that is soon upon us that one of us is stepping into a worlddestroyed by corruption and the fall and deals with it, declaring His glory and manifesting Hischange.
There is noway you can declare God’s glory to the nations of the earth / bring His glory to thenations except you understand what God did in David. After reading about David you can onlyconclude thatGodhas favourites.God isnot respecterofpersons.Everynation,everyone fearingthenameoftheLordisacceptabletoHim.
Psa 89:1 I will sing of the loving kindness of Jehovah for ever: With my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.
Psa 89:3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant: Psa 89:4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations.
Psa 89:19 Then thou spoke in vision to thy saints, And said, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
Psa 89:20 I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him: Psa 89:21 With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him. Psa 89:22 The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. Psa 89:23 And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him. Psa 89:24 But my faithfulness and my loving kindness shall be with him; And in my name
shall his horn be exalted. Psa 89:25 I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. Psa 89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation. Psa 89:27 I also will make him my first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth. Psa 89:28 My loving kindness will I keep for him for evermore; And my covenant shall stand
fast with him. Psa 89:29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, And his throne as the days of heaven. Psa 89:30 If his children forsake my law, And walk not in mine ordinances; Psa 89:31 If they break my statutes, And keep not my commandments; Psa 89:32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, And their iniquity with stripes. Psa 89:33 But my loving kindness will I not utterly take from him, Nor suffer my
faithfulness to fail. Psa 89:34 My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Psa 89:35 Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David: Psa 89:36 His seed shall endure for ever, And his throne as the sun before me. Psa 89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, And as the faithful witness in the sky.
Rth 4:13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and Jehovah gave her conception, and she bare a son.
Rth 4:14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be Jehovah, who hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be famous in Israel.
Rth 4:15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourish of your old age, for thy daughter-in-law, who love thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.
Rth 4:16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. Rth 4:17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to
Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

Isa 56:3 Neither let the foreigner, that hath joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, Jehovah will surely separate me from his people; neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
Isa 56:4 For thus say Jehovah of the eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant:
Isa 56:5 Unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
Isa 56:6 Also the foreigners that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and hold fast my covenant;

Isa 56:8 The Lord Jehovah, who gather the outcasts of Israel, says, Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own that are gathered.

1Ch 13:12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
1Ch 13:13 So David removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
1Ch 13:14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months: and Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
Why into the house of a GITTITE ? A Gittite was a native of Gath who was a Philistine. Anuncircumcisedstranger.
2Sa 21:19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Beth-lehemite slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
David, bringing the ark back, having some problems on the way, didn’t think it wrong ordishonouring toGod topark the ark in thehouseofObedEdom, an enemyof Israel. AndObedEdomwasgreatlyblessed.

2Sa 15:18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
2Sa 15:19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return, and abide with the king: for thou art a foreigner, and also an exile; return to thine own place.
2Sa 15:20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I may? return thou, and take back thy brethren; mercy and truth be with thee.
2Sa 15:21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As Jehovah liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will thy servant be.
2Sa 15:22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
2Sa 15:23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.

thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my

Psa 139:4 For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
Psa 139:5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me. Psa 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Psa 139:7 Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? Psa 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou
art there. Psa 139:9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Psa 139:10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me. Psa 139:11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be
night; Psa 139:12 Even the darkness hide not from thee, But the night shine as the day: The
darkness and the light are both alike to thee. Psa 139:13 For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb. Psa 139:14 I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful
are thy works; And that my soul know right well. Psa 139:15 My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously
wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Psa 139:16 My eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written,
Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them. Psa 139:17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of
them! Psa 139:18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I
am still with thee. Psa 139:19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye
bloodthirsty men. Psa 139:20 For they speak against thee wickedly, And my enemies take thy name in vain. Psa 139:21 Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those
that rise up against thee? Psa 139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies. Psa 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; Psa 139:24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
Psa 17:3 Thou hast proved my heart; thou hast visited me in the night; Thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them. Psa 21:10 Their fruit wilt thou destroy from the earth, And their seed from among the
children of men. Psa 21:11 For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not
able to perform. Psa 21:12 For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy
bowstrings against their face. Psa 21:13 Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength: So will we sing and praise thy power.
WhatwasitGodfoundinDavid:
1. Spirituality
1Sa 13:13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. 1Sa 13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah hath sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee.
To be a person after God’s own heart is to have a life that is in harmony with the Lord. If your heart is after God’s heart your life will be in harmony with Him. What is important to Him will be important to you. What bothers Him will bother you. You love what He loves, you hate what He hates. When He says go right, you go. Stop – you stop. When you are deeply spiritual you have a heart that is sensitive to the things of God
Psa 89:20 I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him: Psa 78:70 He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:
With a servants heart you do as you are told. You serve faithfully and quietly. You obeythoseincharge.Ahumblemandoeswhatheistold.
1Sa 18:5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
1Sa 18:13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a
thousand; and he went out and came in before the people. 1Sa 18:14 And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with

1Sa 16:7 But Jehovah said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for Jehovah see not as man see; for man look on the outward appearance, but Jehovah look on the heart.
Isn’t it strange thatwe read scriptureswithout understanding them, and thenwe read the samescripturesanotherdayandtheyopenup.ItshowsGodknowswecanhandleit.AndwhenHebringsittousheholdsusresponsibleforit.
Act 8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Act 8:2 And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

Mar 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Mar 11:23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up
and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.
Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Eze 40:4 And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with my eyes, and hear with my ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall show thee; for, to the intent that I may show them unto thee, art thou brought hither: declare all that thou see to the house of Israel.
Eze 40:6 Then came he unto the gate which look toward the east, and went up the steps thereof: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad.
Eze 40:7 And every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and the space between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.
Eze 40:8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed. Eze 40:9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two
cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house. Eze 40:10 And the lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that
side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
Eze 42:15 Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
Eze 42:16 He measured on the east side with the measuring reed five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
Eze 42:17 He measured on the north side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about.
Eze 42:18 He measured on the south side five hundred reeds with the measuring reed. Eze 42:19 He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the
measuring reed. Eze 42:20 He measured it on the four sides: it had a wall round about, the length five
hundred, and the breadth five hundred, to make a separation between that which was holy and that which was common.

Ezekiel 43:1 Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east.
Eze 43:2 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shined with his glory.
Ezekiel 43:6 And I heard one speaking unto me out of the house; and a man stood by me. Eze 43:7 And he said unto me, Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of
the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;
Eze 43:8 in their setting of their threshold by my threshold, and their door-post beside my door-post, and there was but the wall between me and them; and they have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.

Eze 43:10 Thou, son of man, show the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
Eze 43:11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, make known unto them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the egresses thereof, and the entrances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof; and write it in their sight; that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, said Jehovah, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
Jer 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness.
Jer 23:7 Therefore, behold, the days come, said Jehovah, that they shall no more say, As Jehovah live, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jer 23:8 but, As Jehovah live, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land.
1Ch 16:14 He is Jehovah our God; His judgments are in all the earth. 1Ch 16:15 Remember his covenant forever, The word which he commanded to a thousand
generations, 1Ch 16:16 The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac, 1Ch 16:17 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting
covenant, 1Ch 16:18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
1Pe 4:17 For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?
His reason for coming to measure the temple is because His judgment is about to come. Hemeasuresifwhathasbeenbuilt isaccordingtoHisreleasedpattern.If it isnotfoundaccordingtothepattern:
