When God asks for contributions from His people to build a place for Him to dwell, He asks it from those who will freely give from the heart. Not out of obligation, but out of desire to be close to Him.
What is the gospel that Yeshua preached? Was it about going to heaven, or was it about heaven coming to earth?
God makes promises about redemption of all things and the promised Messiah. His word is true, and He is faithful to perform it!
Why did Yeshua curse the fig tree when He found no fruit on it? What connection did this have to the coming exile? And now, as the exile continues and we await His return, how can we hasten the coming of the Messianic Era?
God’s desire is to dwell with man as it was in the beginning. As part of the restoration, God has given the Holy Spirit as a pledge of what is to come at the end of the Millennial Reign.
