Chapter 19
The Antichrist enters the
Temple of Yahuah
|
Introduction
Before we have “eyes to see” the Abomination of Desolation
we must understand what that Temple is at the end within The Yahushaic (New)
Covenant. Because it is at the time of the end that
the Antichrist
“enters the Temple of Yahuah” and commits The Abomination of Desolation which
is slaughtering the Ishtar Pig Jesus instead of the Passover Lamb Yahusha.
Matthew 24:15
"So when you see (with your spiritual eyes)
standing
in the holy place 'the abomination (of sacrificing
a pig on the altar) that causes (the)
desolation (of Yahuah’s Temple),' spoken
of through the prophet Daniel--let the reader understand
(with their spiritual mind what that Temple really is! It is
YOUR body)
In keeping with Scripture and progressive revelation
(defined in my book The Kingdom of Yahuah), this chapter will
illustrate that Yahuah designed the physical Temple of Solomon in the previous
covenants as a shadow picture or physical representation of the temple in
The
Kingdom of Yahuah. That spiritual Truth cast by the physical shadow by
the design of the physical Temple of Solomon was that Yahuah’s Temple was
always the bodies of the sons of Yahuah.
This fact was the meaning behind Yahusha’s declaration that
he would tear down The Temple and raise it again in 3 days. This “Temple” the Messiah was referring to was his body. The Bible confirms that the
resurrection of the Messiah was in fact the beginning of the construction of
the true Temple of Yahuah as the Messiah is the Chief Cornerstone.
In this chapter we will examine the physical design of the Temple
of Solomon demonstrating the design was a divine physical portrait of the
human body. Then we will apply our understanding of “transposition” as it
relates to The Temple of Yahuah from physical to spiritual
Truth. Once we have fully established that the Temple of Solomon was a temporary
physical structure illustrating a greater spiritual Truth, we can fully
understand the physical and spiritual state in which Yahuah’s Temple now exists
in The Kingdom of Yahuah.
The
Physical Design of the Temple of Solomon
The physical design of the Temple of Solomon was literally a
human portrait. In keeping with progressive revelation, this physical world is
literally a training ground and a teaching tool for the sons of Yahuah. We are
being trained and taught spiritual Truths concerning
The Kingdom of Yahuah
by what we see and experience in the physical world. Every detail of the
previous 6 covenants including the physical priesthood of Levi, the High
Priesthood of Aaron, the sacrifice of the Passover Lamb, the scapegoat,
The
Temple of Yahuah,
The Altar of Yahuah, were all given to
us physically as training aids. The Spring and Fall Festivals
were given as physical “rehearsals” to teach us about the spiritual plan of
salvation.
Everything in the first 6 covenants was designed to point us
to The Messiah and teach us about Yahuah’s Spiritual Kingdom. It is only
within the scope of this chapter to discuss the
physical to spiritual
parallels of the Temple of Solomon as it relates to
The Temple of
Yahuah in The Kingdom of Yahuah.
The 3
Chambers of The Temple of Solomon
One evident
physical to spiritual parallel is
that both the Tabernacle of Moses and the Temple of Solomon contained three
distinct and clearly defined sections. There was the Outer Court (Ulam), the Inner
Court or Holy Place (Hekal), and the Holy of Holies or Most Holy Place (Beit
HaMikdash).
These three sections find perfect
correspondence to man as he is also a tri-part being consisting of body, soul
and spirit. The Apostle Paul was speaking of our body temples below and the
physical to spiritual parallel of The Temple:
I Thessalonians 5:23
Now may the God (Paul declares The Shema) of peace Himself (Yahuah) sanctify you (His
Temple) entirely; and may your spirit (Holy
of Holies) and soul (Inner Court)
and body (Outer Court) be preserved
complete, without blame at the coming of our King Yahusha the Messiah.
The Human
Portrait in The Temple of Solomon
It is only my intention to communicate what Tony Badillo and
others have illustrated; that The Temple of Solomon was a physical portrait of
a human body (physical to spiritual parallel). Very specifically
crafted as a 3 layered “Temple Man” carefully
constructed
to illustrate physically the ultimate spiritual Truth that
The Temple of Yahuah
is the human body.
The
High Priest as Temple Man
The section below is taken from Tony Badillo’s
website
http://www.templesecrets.info/.
The picture to the left is the temple floor plan as seen
from looking at The Temple from above. It is transformed into a figure of the
Zadok High Priest; and within the figure are 13 red
numbers briefly explained below. All are in
sequence except nine (9).
1.
PRIESTS’ CELLS
as a TURBAN1
west side – Gold
and silver bullion, I Kings 7:51, was likely stored here. These cells form the
High Priest’s head cover or turban mentioned in Exodus 28:4, 37. The common
priest’s cap or bonnet, Exodus 28:40, was more globular, resembling an inverted
bowl.
2. PRIESTS’ CELLS,
south and north sides – These are the arms. Only one
ingress is given, I Kings. 6:8, but Ezekiel 41:11 includes a second. The
entrances correspond to the onyx stones the High Priest wore on his left and
right shoulders. Each was engraved with the names of six Israelite tribes,
twelve names total, Exodus. 28:9 -12.
3. TWO LARGE STARS –
These are two 10-cubit tall cherubs of gold plated
olive wood, I Kings. 6:23, 28; they are the eyes within Temple Man’s
head, while the head is the Holy of Holies2
.
4. THE ARK of the COVENANT
– This
is a gold plated chest with a solid gold cover and two small cherubs (small
stars).The Ark is his nose; and its poles –when attached to its long sides and
drawn forward (I Kings. 8:8) – depict extended nostrils smelling the sweet
smoke from the Incense Altar in the Holy Place.
5. STAIRWAY – A short staircase or ramp led from the Holy Place to a
slightly elevated (six cubits) Holy of Holies. The stairway is his neck/throat
and its top is his mouth.
6. INCENSE ALTAR –
This small gold plated altar (I Kings 6:22) is national Israel’s
heart, and its sweet-smelling smoke is the prayers and spiritual life
of national ideal Israel,
7. TABLES OF THE SHOWBREAD –
On these gold plated tables (I Kings
7:48) were bread and wine, symbolizing flesh and blood, i.e., the
humanity of national Israel.
8.
THE LAMP STANDS
(I Kings 7:48, 49) – Their total number was 10
stands/menorahs x 7 stems each = 70 lights, relating to the 70 Israelites of
Exodus 1:5 (Jacob’s offspring). This is national Israel as the light to the
world,
and the world is the 70 nations of Genesis 10. They may also symbolize the
Sabbath multiplied 10 times, implying a messianic age of worldwide rest
(meaning peace).
9. THE PORCH,
Portico or vestibule – This antechamber, the ulam,
(I Kings 6:3, II Chronicles 3:4) corresponds to the human pelvis (hips) and,
therefore, procreation through the male and female genitalia.
10. TEN LAVERS –
Five bronze water lavers were on the
north and five on the south side. These signify the ten fingers of the hands.
The lavers were for washing the blood off the sacrificial offerings, I Kings
7:38
11. JACHIN,
BOAZ – The large bronze pillars were named Jachin and Boaz
(II Chronicles.3:17) and form Temple Man’s legs. These are two hybrid plants
symbolizing Kings David and Solomon, war and peace.
12. SEA OF BRONZE, TWELVE
BULLS – This was a huge
basin full of water for the priests to wash their hands and feet (II Chronicles
4:2). It depicts the twelve tribes of Israel stakeing the Red Sea. Its water
symbolizes the God’s spirit and also his seed.
13. THE SACRIFICIAL ALTAR –
This
(II Chronicles. 4:1) forms Temple Man’s feet, while also symbolizing the
metallic King Messiah’s feet and
footstool, as was the custom of that time, II
Chronicles 9:18, Psalms 110:1.
The point here is that the physical Temple that existed in
the previous covenants prior to the 7th Yahushaic Covenant was
designed as a physical metaphor or “shadow-picture” or portrait. The Temple
of Solomon was a physical shadow designed to teach us the greater Spiritual
Truth found in The Messiah that The Temple of Yahuah is our
body.
Many men throughout history have studied the Temple
of Solomon. It is considered one of the 7 Wonders of the World and Sir Isaac
Newton (1642–1727), the noted English scientist, mathematician and theologian,
studied and wrote extensively upon the Temple of Solomon. He dedicated an
entire chapter of The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms to his observations
regarding the temple. Newton was intrigued by the temple's sacred geometry and
believed that it was designed by King Solomon with privileged eyes and divine
guidance.

Transposition
of The Temple of Yahuah
Now that we have looked into the physical design of the Temple
of Solomon and see a portrait of the human body, is there evidence in
Scripture to support this physical to spiritual parallel. Is it
true that now in the 7th and final Yahushaic Covenant that The
Temple was transposed from a physical place to its final Spiritual state never
to be rebuilt physically again? Could it be that there will never be another
physical temple built by the hands of man in Jerusalem? There hasn’t been in
2,000 years!
This spiritual Truth concerning the state of
The
Temple of Yahuah is a consistent theme in Scripture which clearly
defines The Temple of Yahuah as the human body in
The Yahushaic
Covenant:
John 2
19 Yahusha answered and said unto
them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20 Then said
the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear
it up in three days? 21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
I Corinthians 6:19
Do you not know
that your
body is a temple of the Spirit of Yahuah who is in you, whom you have
from Yahuah?
II Corinthians 6:16
What agreement has
The Temple
of Yahuah with idols? For
we are the temple of the living God;
just as Yahuah said, “I will dwell in them and walk among them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”
Ephesians 2:19-22
So then you are no longer strangers
and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of Yahuah’s
household, having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
the
Messiah Yahusha Himself being the corner stone (of The Temple of Yahuah), in whom the whole
building, being fitted together is growing into a
Holy Temple of Yahuah;
in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of Yahuah in the
Spirit (The Kingdom of Yahuah).
I Peter 2:5
You also, as living stones, are
being built up as a spiritual house (Temple)…
We see this Spiritual Truth clearly in Revelation as the
“physical Temple” was not seen in the City of Jerusalem, but rather that Temple
is now spiritual:
Revelation 21
22
I did not see a temple in the city, because the (sons of ) Yahuah Almighty and the Lamb are its
temple.
The Temple of Yahuah
has been transposed from its physical shadow to its Spiritual Reality and is
the human body, the sum total of the sons of Yahuah.
The sons
of Yahuah are Living Arks of The Covenant
In
The Kingdom of Yahuah, the Ark of the
Covenant has been transposed from physical to spiritual. The hearts/minds of
the sons of Yahuah are now the Ark of the Covenant.
As we see, in
The Yahushaic Covenant, The
Torah or "Law" or "Commandments/Instructions" are now
written within our "heart" which is now the spiritual Ark of the
Covenant:
Romans 2:14-15
14 Indeed, when Gentiles, who do
not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for
themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15
They show that the
requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences
also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other
times even defending them.
Inside each of us is the spiritual equivalent of the
physical portrait of the Ark of the Covenant! The tablets of
The Law of Yahuah
as given to Moses... Aaron's staff, and a portion of Manna (bread from
Heaven). Paul lists the physical items found within the physical Ark of the
Covenant:
Hebrews 9:4
4 which
had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This
ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that
had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
The Ark of the Covenant is within each of us
in The Kingdom of Yahuah. The blood of Yahusha, the Passover
Lamb, is poured on top of the Ark spiritually inside us to cover our sins as we
keep Passover in light of Yahusha’s sacrifice.
Inside the Ark (in our heart) is:
·
The Commands of Yahuah. They are “written on our hearts”
or placed inside The Ark of the Covenant. We keep them out of love.
·
The staff of Aaron. Yahuah is our shepherd, Yahuah ROHI.
·
The Manna. We are fed spiritually “manna from heaven” as
we are filled with the Spirit of Yahuah
Now that we realize that The Temple that Daniel was speaking
about is our bodies not a physical temple in Jerusalem, let’s identify the
sacrifices. What is stopped by this abominable sacrifice of the Earthly Pig
and what is that Altar that is desecrated?
