There is a mighty stir brewing in the most holy place, as the very essence and pure nature of the manifested Son (Jesus Christ in throneship and dominion, executive power - Heb. 12:2; Rev. 4:2; Daniel 7:14; 1 Cor.15:24-26) is pouring out His Life-giving nature to all humanity, and particularly the church, bringing a powerful release from bondage, corruption, futility, and captivity through the present truth configuration of Christ the HEAD and Christ the BODY (The Corporate Saints). For there appears to the natural senses of men a quiet hush, and a dark doorway into the most holy place, but to the eye of the Spirit, there is radiant life and light flooding our whole man, as we not only desire to walk in the rest of God, but to manifest and to become that glorious expression of the Heavenly Father from within the third dimension. Oh, such life there is beloved, that vacuums up all other existence, into the unlimited glory of the Father, even the glory of the Pattern Son, the blueprint of perfection, the path which leads to the Father's glory.

For this glory is the Son, the Word from the beginning, the glory that He had before coming into this world. This glory is what Enoch had been initiated into, as he was a man of two realms, by faith living in the unseen. For such glorious dimension is the realm of the living Son of God, who, in John 3:13 says He was the Son of God which is in heaven, yet while on earth at the same time. This unlimited glory is John 14:2, the Father's house, the habitation of God, the Palace of the Lord, the expansion of the mansion, many rooms and dimensions in the Father's house. This realm is also considered as the hidden life, for in Proverbs 25:2, "it is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings [king-priests] is to search out a matter."

Oh, the life in the realm of the unlimited glory of the third dimension, often seen by the carnal mind as a small box in Moses' tabernacle. But the truth is, though the outer court of Christianity appears to be the largest compartment in Moses' tabernacle, it is really the smallest dimension of maturity, seeing that many believers act as if they are a Toy's for Us Kid (I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys for Us kid - more games, more toys, O boy, I wanna be a Toys for Us kid!)

In truth, the holy of holies, though the smallest compartment in Moses' tabernacle, is the most vast discovery there is in the deeper purposes and dealings of the Father. For though the outward appeal of the holiest of all is rather small to the optic nerve, it is the most far reaching dimension of glory than both the outer court and holy place combined. In truth, it is where the Father is speaking from, as "strait is the gate and narrow is the way, and few there be that find it." It is the realm of maturity where we move from the dust and sands of Abraham, into the multitude and unlimited number of stars. It is the glory of the Father where we move from the natural light of the Sun (outer court), the candlesticks of the holy place, into the Shekinah of the most holy place. It is a realm and thrust of the Spirit where we see the Lord high and lifted up, and His glory filling the temple (Isaiah 6:1-3). No, it is not the dimension of the Spirit where the carnal mind says, "I see dead people!" (smile). Rather, it is the realm where we "lift up our heads O ye gates, lifting up our everlasting doors, so that the King of Glory comes in, the Lord, strong and mighty, mighty in battle "(Psalms 24:7-10).

It is the realm of the Spirit where the wood is overlaid with gold, or human nature overlaid with divine nature. It is the glory of the Cherubim above the mercy seat, the glory created and manifested between the two-witnessess (Cherubim, Word and Spirit, Husband and Wife, Apostle and Prophet, King and Priest, Church and Kingdom, Purpose and Destiny, Father-Son apostolic principle, Bridegroom-Bride prophetic principle). Isaiah 37:16; Exodus 25:22

It is the glorious book of Revelation (or Revolution), for John the revelator is revealing the Holy of Holies, the unveiling of the Son, the Revelation of Jesus Christ. It is not a book about blood to the horses bridle, or the 144,000. It is not a book or look at end time destruction from the footnotes of unillumined theories of men, nor is it the evacuation of the church. It is not a book that we talk about, but a book that we walk about, becoming the very message incarnate that we speak (John 1:14). It is the words of the Lamb that are sweet to our mouth and bitter to our belly, the prevailing Lamb that makes war with the beast. Yes beloved, it is another look at Ezekiel's temple, the vision of the Spirit, the glorified body, and the revelation of the last verse of the last chapter of Ezekiel, where the Lord is revealed as Jehovah Shammah, He is present, He is there!

The carnal minds says that this truth is not practical, or is too good to be true. I know how the religious system works to keep us dependent on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (independence from the Father - Adam, the beast, the idolatrous self), instead of The Abundant Life through the tree of life (communion with the Father, the oneness of God and man, I and my Father are one). For that is just like the carnal mind, alienated from the life of God, full of enmity or hostility to the new nature. For in the holy of holies, we don't struggle with duality and mixture, but live through the identity of the Last Adam, the Quickening Spirit, the Lord from Heaven. We do not find merit, worth, value, or esteem in two natures, but one - HIS! We do not worship a SIN consciousness, but become SON consciousness. We do not focus on works, but the Finished Work of the Cross. For the Cross is placed upon Golgatha, the place of the skull. The cross is identified with the Head, taking away an old mind and giving us the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ is now revealed in Revelation 3:12, for the saints have become His holy city, with the name written in our foreheads  (Rev.14:1; Eph. 1:13;  I Cor. 2:16; Philippians 2:5).

Yes beloved, carnality (flesh, meat, dust - the serpents meat) is an idol god, the five "I's" of Isaiah 14, image trouble, or "I" (eye) trouble. But we don't spend our life struggling to keep carnality under foot. Rather, we focus on the risen and ascended Lord of the third dimension, and see Him in all that He is and all that He does. For that is the principle of Isaiah seeing the Lord in exalted throneship, in the year that king Uzziah died - in the year that our pet doctrine and favorite song died, in the year that our hidden agenda died. In this, the Lord is risen, or seen in all of His glory, fullness, splendor, and majesty. For again, as the Lord is increased, king Uzziah must decrease. In the acceptable year of the Lord (anno domino), in the unfolding glory of an awesome God, we have discovered that king Uzziah must be put to death in all of us. And while we are on the subject, how did Isaiah come to know that he himself was a man of unclean lips? I'll tell you. His eyes had seen the KING! For in chapter 5 of Isaiah, 6 woes are finger pointed to others, but in chapter 6, the 7th woe  points to himself. Awesome!

The Feast of Passover was fulfilled on earth, and so was the Feast of Pentecost. However, the carnal mind says that the Feast of Tabernacles is to be fulfilled in Beulah Land, far removed from our pioneering progression of the Spirit on earth, long gone from the earthly, into the ultra nebula, beyond quasars and burning stars. Such mentality breeds escapism, and leans towards a works mentality, placing stock, merit, and esteem on the notes of an old prejudiced priesthood, one that values people of the flesh to inherit the kingdom. Such is the reason why we have so many Christian movies, and no Kingdom movies, for there is a difference in being Christian and Kingdom. There is a great gulf fixed, a line of demarcation, a dividing asunder between being a preserving Christian and becoming an instrument for Kingdom advancement. For one generally has the view of leaving earth, while the other sees the eternal purpose of God to inherit it. One sees a way out of this mess, but the other is being positioned to pierce, penetrate, and to pioneer new thresholds and frontiers, aposotlic colonization, new core and corporate dynamics of the King and HIS kingdom among the masses. One sees the church going, the other sees the Christ in awesome splendor and radiant glory progressively manifesting, not merely to His church, but through HIS church. One sees the dire need to disappear, while the other is anticipating the fullness of Christ and his eternal purposes to reappear. In other words, one shall be taken, the other left.

Now the Feast of Tabernacles (or booths - which Peter got a partial glimpse of in Matthew 17), is the fullness of Christ in His Body, Christ becoming All in All, the great supper of the Lord (Revelation 19), where we press to the prepared table of the Lord in the presence of our enemies (Psalms 23), where Wisdom slays the beast (or sacred cow, religious traditions), so that we can all partake of the fullness of the Lamb, all of HIM, in earth as He is in heaven.

Therefore, the Feast of Tabernacles is being fulfilled in earth as was the first two feasts. It is the life-giving nature just as Passover and Pentecost. And in the third dimension, we see a lot more going on than the mentality of the outer court. For in Hebrews 9, there is only mention of the holy place and the holy of holies. Why? For the Lord has dealt a crushing blow to the mentality of the saints who have overstayed their time in the outer court, not becoming fully grown and mature in the Beard, while walking in the Babe. For the outer court has now become hostility, as saints use it for a security blanket. "It's safe there!" says many. "It's comfortable here!" exclaim many. "No risk involved, for I've got Jesus and that's enough!"

Beloved, there is Life from a whole new level of maturity. True, many may live largely from a 1st and 2nd day mentality, but there is more. Many may feel it is arrogant pride to descend upon the mount of Esau from Mount Zion, but beloved, to believe that the overcoming Life of the Lamb is something beyond the atmospheric heavens, into the clear blue yonder, is to miss the entire point. For there is Life beyond the confines and dictates of the outer court. There is a new substance in the Spirit from beyond the veil of no limitations. There is the glory of the moon, but then there is the glory of the SON. There is the manifest presence of the Lord that is appearing now to those that seek and desire him, and in doing so, they shall see him as HE IS. (Obad. 19, 21; Rev. 12:1; I Cor.15:41; Gen.1:14-16)

Because much of the church-world lives by teachings on how to preserve the human nature, and how to be a better human, we must consider that mortality is to be swallowed up by Life - HIS (II Cor. 5:1-8) - and that through the gospel, we receive Life and immortality  (II Tim.1:10). Also, II Peter 1:4 says we are to be "partakers of his divine nature" and, "as He is, so are we" (I John 4:17).

There is more beloved, and it's time to apprehend what is apprehending us...Selah!

Instead of treating the most holy place as an escape evacuation plan, let's enter into the presence and principles of the person of the Lord in this dimension, and begin living Life from . . . as oppose to the hurried notion of trying to get to.  For in all truth, we are to become that third dimension, not to attain it as something of a risk factor, or as a contest among the masses, may the best man win! Rather, it is to become our very way of Life.

Beloved, let's perceive and apprehend that the Lord has called us unto a higher calling, and that it is time to come out of the rolling dust of Philistine thinking, into the place where the Lord is seen in unending glory. Let us move forward to the manifestation of the third dimension, not becoming at ease with the holy place, as if we have arrived into the fullness. For in John 12, there is the troubling of the soul, or two priesthood's in the Day of Atonement; one entering into the holiest of all, and the other returning to the outer court. This troubling (stirring and agitation) of the soul makes distinction between the duality of the soul, to the ascendancy of the Spirit, as Christ was purposed to enter into all of the fullness for us to follow. For in Hebrews 6, He is the forerunner, the scout, who has led (became) The Way for our fullness in Him. So beloved, let's continue to grow in grace so that we don't grown in disgrace (II Peter 3:18).

As we conclude for now, feel free to enjoy brief bits of encouragement towards our progressive maturity in HIM. And remember, there is another dimension of truth which says that we started out with the Father from within the most holy place, but limited mentalities and positions have kept many from this dimension, having them to work hard at getting there. For we are simply to mature into who HE already is. For the progress towards perfection (number 7 of the doctrines of Hebrews 6:1-2) is that we begin walking out the revealing truth (proceeding, NOW word) of the Holy Spirit, and not to become dismayed or frustrated by not having yet attained the full measure and scope of this vast dimension of glory. So rest as you enter in beloved, and enjoy the ride. For we are not really getting older, but are MATURING in the SON. For we are becoming what and who we already are - HIM! (Ephesians 4:13)
