Once We Rebuild

When the long awaited temple in Jerusalem is rebuilt, people of the many nations will unify in worship in Jerusakem, in obeisance to the one God of all creation.  And we will have to understand why we worship as one.  The nations have to understand why God sees people as one, though they are of many nations. People will travel from a far to see the temple on the mount, and will go there simply to feel its presence. 

There are those who still do not understand why all nations should come and unify under one temple and one spirit in worship. The Hebrew religion still needs to be understood by many. But its origin (mold) and contents (blue-print) are ignored, and not taken into serious consideration because of religious prejudices.  One nationality cannot point the finger in blame at another because we all have been misinformed about different religions and their various cultures.  It is most important that we understand that culture must exist, and various religions, because of the widespread dispersal of humanity, spreaded abroad, and beyond some of our realized existence.  Only we whom have never left some of our countries, and our own neighborhoods are ignorant of the fact that God created too much to discuss all of it over our morning coffee breaks, and for our shoot-the-breeze conversations.  There is so much more than a needled perspective when we considerably ingest the knowledge of the many peoples of our world. Simply to say, we all have a lot to learn about each other. 

Remember, the world began with one man and one woman.  And from the two, begat the rest of the human race.    Reading our Holy Bibles will give us an idea that even though there was a difference in worship amongst the people of antiquity, many of them believed in “a god or many gods".  Mankind has always believed that their god(s) would give them favorable results if they gave it what they ‘thought’ it wanted.  I believe that the early peoples of the world thought that their god(s) wanted the same things as what any earthly man would want.  And without having the proper guidance of a living god, they offered up things (sacrifices) that were unexceptable by the living God.

To what is perceived to be a gift to give, and to receive the same, is an act of a ritual to commence a relationship based upon the belief of its benefits. Over time, when practiced enough, this ritual becomes known as your worship.   And to worship false gods is to be denied by the living God of Israel, of whom He gave the laws to live by to the Prophet Moses. Therefore in the Christ-centered faiths, God is explicit on what worship is unto Him.  Being that He is creator of all, we are to worship Him and Him alone, having no other God in our lives, taking up His space in our hearts, or vice versa.  Where darkness is, light cannot shine until the darkness runs its course, bringing the light into where darkness once was.  The two cannot exist in the same place at the same time because there would be a natural friction called dimming.  Eventually, chaos. Such as we know life to be today!

Humanity was never meant to lead themselves, by themselves, by choosing their own gods.  Instead they were meant to be guided by their God, their creator, and not leaving us without the proper manner in which to worship Him, nor to leave us comfortless. It is true, according to our Holy Writ, that the blood of animals were to be sacrificed unto God’s pleasure.  But blood was not required as a sacrifice unto our God at first, with first man and woman.  Because of our curiosity (disobedience) in the Garden Eden, we ourselves discovered ‘sacrifice’ as a curse.

As recorded in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, first, Eve was deceived by the serpent to eat of the ‘tree of the knowledge of good and evil’ in order to be like God, so the serpent told her.  In turn, she offers the taste of it to first man Adam, easily transferring deception to him in which fulfilled satan’s plan. 

The plan that took creation from all that was ‘good’, which was the plan of no hardships, no struggles in life, with everything given to them naturally, and to simply maintain it, and enjoy it.  A bit of light duty if I may.  And this plan of agreeing to evil introduced us to the ‘evil’ concept of shedding blood of all kinds. God never meant for creation to shed each others blood.  The grave knowledge that first man and woman obtained that day was 'the knowledge of sacrifice' to keep up a style of living, instead of obeying the rule to never eat from that tree. They were to live in harmony even with the animals (the creature). And as they did, there environment would continue to produce good health and wealth instantly for them.  Within this realm of safety, all of humanity could have been born, being fully aware of the one God, our creator.  But man and woman was now responsible for what they 'knew'. They knew they were no longer what God had made them (in His image, with power and dominion), and even began to hide from Him. With man blaming the woman for the mistake that the creator held them accountable for.

Now, every since that day, which is recorded against man kind, we live in chaos amongst ourselves, finding it almost impossible to break away from our forms of prejudices which are evil. In these times of obvious change, we are being demanded by nature to do a fine comb soul search, and without a doubt, come to realize that we cannot help ourselves because we only hurt ourselves more and more each day, not ridding of our false securities to prevent a positive, harmonious change in the earth, that we as humans once had dominion over, but forfeited our rights because of the lack of knowledge. Remember, Adam and Eve were King And Queen already over everything in the earth. So they did not need a higher position. Because Christ is our high priest that goes before God on our behalf, giving us what the Holy Ghost would require of us as 'gods' of the earth no matter what our titles.

For example, King Saul ignorantly performed the duty of a priest to seek God while he served as king of the Jews. We should learn from this that mankind would have never been independent of God's rule and order because man and everything in the world belongs to God, known as the Father. And the Son and the Holy Ghost are all three in one, to make intercession for us, and to provide our needs and desires. If you recall those forms of prejudices of evil that many of us have, you'll find that straying away from the Father and His expectations of us is indeed the root cause. So as the world's central place of worship is built again in faith, let us worship therein, as it was always meant to be, in the power and purpose signifying a unified faith. Though we all are different, we all are the master piece of our One and only True God. And we must give Him praise!
