The inside view, Temple of the Lord unfolded.
This small-scale model of the New Jerusalem, represent the people of God, they who remain obedient to the Ten Commandments. It represents the Ark of Christ; and what the people must do to enter it. There the children of the Lord will be protected from the evil world of satan. Each of the twelve pearly gates represent a Tribe of Israel, who in total is represented by the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, spiritual Bride of the Almighty. The 144,000 are the Brides of Jesus (spiritual sisters, representatives of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ), which make up the walls of the cube. The twelve Apostles (spiritual brothers) are the foundations (edges) of the cube. The Apostles hold the walls and the pearls together, forming an impenetrable city of Gold (knowledgeably protected). The only way in is through the pearly gates, by the obedience to the Commandments. The baptismal words of Jesus will wash away the evil acts that the devil has tattooed in the hearts and minds of man. The spiritual children of this Bride will be given a rebirth through the learning and the obedience to the Commandments, symbolized by the eating and the drinking of the body of Christ, the Bread and the Wine of Life. Ephesians 2: 19-22. Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, you are fellow-citizens with the saints of the household of God. Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. In whom all the building fitly framed together, grows to a holy temple in the Lord. In whom you also are built together, for a habitation of God through the Spirit. 1st Corinthians 3: 9. For we are labourers together with God: you are God's husbandry; you are God's building.
This cube unfolds to expose the sacrificial cross, which all the people of God carry. To those who disbelieve it seems a burning burden to confront; but to those who believe, it is a guiding light when in darkness. Like the front lights of an automobile, the cross illuminates the treacherous road of an evil world. The Christ-mobile; journeys through a world of hell angels. Like Jonah in the belly of a whale, the Children of the Lord in the belly of something greater, the Ark of Jesus, the Heart of Jesus, which is also symbolic for the heart of the earth, from which man was created by the imagination of God. We must plant ourselves in this good ground, if we are to profit from the glorious blessings that can be harvested from the faith that will grow, seeded for resurrection when it was humbly small. Matthew 12: 40. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Matthew 13: 8-9. But others fell into good ground and brought forth fruit, some a hundred-fold, some sixty-fold, some thirty-fold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew 13: 31-32. Another parable He proposed to them saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a seed of a mustard-tree, which a man took and sowed in his field. It indeed is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches."
The Jesus stone that shall shepherd, ruling as God (Israel). Genesis 49: 24. But his bow abode in strength; and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob, from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel. Joseph the earthly builder of Truth, inspired by Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 60: 14. The sons also of them that afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all they that despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Hebrews 12: 22-24. But ye are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the first-born, who are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Isaiah 60: 18. Violence shall no more be heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but you shalt call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. Praise in Hebrew, " tehillah, pronounced teh-hil-law," meaning laudation, to be clear or sound from the Hebrew word, " halal, pronounced haw-lal."
Isaiah 60: 22. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in its time.
Jeremiah 7: 2-3. Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house, proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
