VISION OF THE GLORIOUS TEMPLE OF GOD ALMIGHTY IN HEAVEN

Introduction

When the Lord the God of Israel saw the fall in the house of Jacob, he said to her of her ancestry that her mother was a Hittite, father an Amorite, sister Samaria, who lived with her daughter in the north and the younger sister Sodom who lived with her daughters in the south. The Lord however, lamented of Israel that she did not merely sin against him but had now become more depraved than them (Ezekiel 16:43-48). Jehovah God at this point bemoaned the fact that Israel even after being chosen by him did not cut off the umbilical cord of connection between herself and defiled ancestry. In order to cut off that umbilical cord of defilement between Israel and her detestable ancestry, God showed Moses the vision of the mighty temple of the Lord in heaven. In this way, Jehovah had intended that from then henceforth, Israel would never over-indulge in defiled worship, but worship would now have to be consecrated. It is this consecration of worship that was supposed to build the closest relationship between our holy God in heaven and the sinful church. The sin of Adam and Eve in the garden, created a terrible rift in the relationship between God and the human family. But God has since then spent the centuries reaching out to the church, seeking to heal and restore this relationship. Gods declaration that he would dwell among the Israelites in a tabernacle, was a step in this process of reconciliation (Exodus 25:1-40). The Lord God has always longed to live among his people, the church. Restoration of mans relationship with the Lord would have to be done Gods way. It is for this reason that he laid out a clear protocol of how he should be approached in worship. The details of these patterns and designs that he laid out in the tabernacle, also show that God clearly sets limits within which he relates with the church (Exodus 26:1-37; Exodus 27:1-21; Exodus 28:1-43; Exodus 29:1-46; Exodus 30:1-38). However, when Jesus became man, Gods personal presence among the church, represented and highlighted an even more personal relationship (John 1:1-14). This relationship was now to be centred around the spiritual tabernacle of God. And that is the reason for which Jeremiah the prophet of God was sent to speak judgment and desolation to the temple in Jerusalem. However, at that time Israel did not comprehend that the utility of the physical tabernacle had been completely exhausted. And it was now time for the Lord to build a more permanent and higher-order spiritual sanctuary. In their naivety, the people of Israel did not realize that God had actually allowed Jeremiah his prophet, to see the advent of Christ the Messiah. Jesus was now coming to build-up the spiritual tabernacle of God, because the events in heaven had spiritually shifted. God was not going to put up any longer with the perpetual defilement of sin that had scourged the house in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 36:15-21). The coming of our Lord Jesus therefore, crowns an important milestone in the history of worship. Gods command to Moses to keep the lamp burning in the temple throughout the hours of darkness, indicates that our God is indeed a God of Light who does not tolerate darkness in worship (1 John 1:5; John 1:1-9).

Vision of God’s temple in heaven

On the 26th day of March 2008, under the quiet and sedate cover of dawn, I saw very mighty and unusual visions of the Lord God Almighty. The vision I saw was that of the glorious most holy temple of the Lord God Almighty in heaven. It all began when in this visitation, heaven stood open right before me and the tremendous glory of God Almighty inside heaven started pouring out into the sky. This glory of the Lord completely spurned and saturated the entire expanse, even to the ends of the horizon. Suddenly the entire expanse became radiant with the magnificent glory of Jehovah Adonai right before my eyes. The Shekinah glory could be seen flowing and saturating the different facets of the sky. Observing this powerful glory of the Lord conquering the sky, then slowly and gradually, the Lord began to unveil and unwrap. Shockingly, the more the glory of the Lord unenveloped, the more I began to see what looked like a dome. It was most startling to realize that what was unveiling was actually the most holy temple of God Almighty in heaven. This was such a mighty sight to behold, a sight that literally stunned my breath away in that vision. The manner in which the Lord unenveloped this precious centrepiece of heaven, slowly opening clouds of his glory to give a glimpse of this mighty house of God, is what was particularly shocking beyond comprehension. However, in all this astonishment, the temple of the Lord came out as pure gold. The glitter of pure gold on the preciously adorned and finished dome, gave a startling glance of a lifetime as it came through the glory of the Lord. It is a spectacular sight that can never be replicated anywhere on earth or in heaven.

The mighty dome

What the church can write home about in this vision will come from none other than the tremendous glory that completely spurned around the precious dome of the temple of God in heaven. That glory appeared to have well preserved the dome, taking full authority around the dome and vividly announcing with utmost clarity on the glorious status of this heavenly house, over and above all creation. Moreover, the glory of God that lavished the most powerful dome of the temple of the Lord in heaven gave this temple a unique distinctive identity as a heavenly house. Furthermore, the command taken by the authoritative glory of God as it flowed around this dome resounded a very clear message that this house of God is an entirely spiritual house. The purity of holiness therein could not escape ones attention. The last time God made such a move was when he showed Moses the Man of God this very temple of the Lord in heaven, and at that time there was a clear message Jehovah was relaying to his people Israel. In this vision too, Gods instructive statement to the church is taken notice of. It is a message that comes with extreme spiritual gravity. Particularly, most captivating is the fact that God in heaven, seems to lay greater emphasis on his glory in such a manner that the church is yet to comprehend. It is all about the purity of God that is required in the church. This reiterates the greater weight that the Lord Almighty in heaven has placed on purity. Pure gold essentially represents the purified, consecrated and holy presence of God Almighty.

Message to the church

The meaning of this vision is that God is demanding for a worship sanctuary that resembles the one in heaven. When God presented the vision of his temple in heaven to Moses, he literally demanded an earthly sanctuary. This sanctuary was supposed to be a replica of the one in heaven (Exodus 25:1-40). At the time, God Almighty had seen that his people lacked a direction and sanctuary for worship. They had even previously erected an idol golden calf to worship, thereby extremely grieving the heart of God Almighty. That conversation principally compelled Moses to raise for the Lord a house of worship. The defilement that had characterized the life of his people Israel, would now be wiped off the face of the earth. In the same way, through this March 26, 2008 vision, the Lord Almighty is telling the church to build for him a magnificent spiritual tabernacle that emulates his house in heaven. It is obvious that as in days before, the Lord has most definitely watched the defilements of idol worship in todays church. This has made him to speak out. The defiled worship in present-day church appears to have caused, the otherwise compassionate heart of the Lord Almighty, to be grieved. This was the case during the time of Moses. The heart of the Lord must definitely be hankering for another relationship of worship with his people, the church. Like Israel, the religious activities of the church have now been exposed in a vision of the Lord. For Israel, she got involved in idolatrous pagan practices and had the gall to believe that God didnt see. This misconception about God is still prevalent today. The church somehow believes that she is capable of hiding her sin from God and that he is somehow looking the other way, even as worship degenerates. Such belief in the church is falsely dangerous and can lead to painfully irretrievable consequences of missing the rapture. It is a state wanting of genuine and righteous shepherds that can lead the sheep into greener pastures and the fountain of living waters (Jesus). Nonetheless, for misconception to have persisted this long in the church, she must have lost direction. That is why the Lord presented the temple in heaven, that the church may be redirected towards him. Currently, there is so much worldly focus in the church. God intended that the terrible fate of Israels leaders should serve as warning to this church. And undoubtedly, when God presented his much treasured and hidden holy temple in heaven, a temple that only Moses was privileged to sight, he must be telling the church today that time has come for them to build for him a now house. This would have to be a sanctuary that bears his revered Holy Name, that he may dwell among them. God in heaven is openly saying that, “like I have shown you, tell this people to build for me one of this kind in their hearts.” It is the spiritual renewal of the church and the sustainability of holiness prior to rapture that the Lord is emphasizing.
God purposed that the church may learn from Israel. In Israel, the setting up of Gods tabernacle fundamentally meant a new life of worship. This also terminated the idolatry of her past. In such manner, by the Lord presenting this mighty March 26, 2008 vision, he practically implied that the church has to enter into a new worship relationship with him. The spiritual tabernacle that Jesus built for God Almighty in the church now requires a new breath of renewal. And our heavenly Father is very grieved that even after the heavy price Jesus paid on the cross, and the subsequent release of the Holy Spirit, the church has once again has gone back to Egypt (2 Peter 2:19-22). It is as though God is asking the church, and the nations of the earth, this question, “Where is the house you will build for me? (Isaiah 66:1-3). It is this house that God is right now pleading with the church to rebuild for him in their hearts.
At the time when Moses was instructed to build the tabernacle, high expectation had consumed heaven, that glorious and acceptable worship would now reach God Almighty, from the house of Jacob. A brand new chapter in the relationship between Israel and Jehovah, was at this moment being birthed out. Such an expectation is equally unfolding in heaven regarding the church. In examining the life of the church today, one realizes just how demanding Gods standards for righteous living are. Only the grace of God can help the church meet the holy standards of God. And because God is in the business of healing our relationship with him, in this mighty vision Jehovah is saying to the church that a new regime has come, a season for holiness and righteousness.

The sackcloth

In one of the most recent visions of the Lord that he advanced to me on May 7th, 2008, the Lord presented a sackcloth that had three green stripes followed by the mighty voice of the Lord that yelled in a terrifying way saying three times, “It Is A Command! It Is A Command! It Is A Command!” It is a command to repent wearing the sackcloth in Christ Jesus. The sackcloth I saw was made out of pure sisal. After this, the Lord showed me a massive judgment including an earthquake coming to Kenya. This however, he said would not leave out many of the nations that too have defiled the altar of Jehovah. Astonishingly, in less than a week, the Lord again in a mighty vision showed me a tremendous earthquake and after the quake, the Angel of the Lord stood on the mountain. Just hours after this vision, while in Mwanza Tanzania, the giant Chinese quake jolted the earth. What a state of urgency this Word presented!
At the time when the sons of Aaron committed the despicable sin of familiarizing themselves with the sacrosanct priestly calling, the Lord was extremely enraged because it is a very holy and sacred anointing that can never be tampered with. Their loathsome conduct so intensified the wrath of the Holy One of Israel, that he could not contain such blasphemy. The aberrant duo pseudo-priests, Nadab and Abihu, had carelessly lit unholy fires of defiled worship before the Holy presence of Jehovah, the Lord of Hosts, the Consuming Fire (Leviticus 10:1-3; Deuteronomy 4:24). Jehovah watched this persistent contemptible act and was so infuriated to the point that he instantly obliterated them by his terrible, holy and consuming fire. Surely, the Lord, He is very Holy! The church today should urgently pick up this cue from this fallen fabulist priesthood to quickly seize the veracity of the order of the holy Word of God. This unchangeable truth of honesty to the Word of God, will disclose the heavenly secret that the dispensation has ushered in. And that the Lord is coming to annihilate todays false prophets, not overlooking this kind of imprudent ignorance anymore (Acts 17:30). This destruction of the false prophets of prosperity will eventually birth out only the desired holy and glorious vessels that will light up holy fires before Jehovah God Almighty. The mighty vision of the glorious temple of the Lord in heaven, imparted a very crucial message to the church of Christ. This message expresses the Lords yearning for a glorious temple that will bring forth a fragrant aroma of holy worship into his throneroom. This is especially critical at this late hour in the day.
