REDEEM THE TIME !

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

TRUE CONVERSION...

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.  Matt. 7:13-14.  The revelation of this scripture has alluded me for years. Based on the number of churches that exist in the world one would believe the way to GOD IS WIDE AND MANY ARE FINDING HIM! But reality clearly shows many are finding the church building but few are being CONVERTED. This truth is seen in the life of Peter 3 ½ years with Jesus experiencing one on one tutoring and unable to find the way. Luke gives us insight in Peter’s lack of conversion:   “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art CONVERTED, strengthen thy brethren.  And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.  22:31-34 I’m no longer baffled by so called believers who are professional actors that have the ability to give great performances. This election has revealed the hearts of these professionals that used the church as they’re battering ram. “For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be CONVERTED, and I should heal them.” Matt. 13:15

 

BIG FOOT ?

The race is down to the last lap and as the candidates approach the finish line all of us are moving heaven and earth to justify our man. As you read this my chose will become very obvious as I compare the two candidates. There are those who believe Mr. Obama has disqualified himself by his approval of Homosexual marriage and a woman’s right to abort her child. As it relates to both of these positions I stand with The Word of GOD. But what I don’t understand is why they never question Mr. Romney’s position when comes to what he believes. Let’s take a look at some of the positions that Mr. Romney has taken. 1.    Mormons seems to have a peculiar--and prejudiced--fascination with tales of a large, ominous, ape-like, black-skinned "Bigfoot" (who, they swear, is actually Cain), condemned by the Mormon God to wander the Earth where he ends up scaring the faithful into invoking the Mormon priesthood in order to drive big, bad Bigfoot away. Note:  In 1990 the Mormon church radically changed its secret temple ceremony by removing the motions of slashing one's throat and stomach.  Mormons would make a motion with their right hand and with the palm facing the floor to slash their own throat or to cut open their "bowels" if they were to ever reveal the secrets in the temple.  It also removed in 1990 the Protestant minister who appears as a hireling of Satan.  It appears now (Jan. 2005) the Mormon church has changed the eternal ordinance of the endowment by removing the naked touching.  A Mormon, in the initiatory phase of the temple endowment, is wearing only a sheet (called a shield) open on the sides and an ordinance worker of the same sex touches the participant near the loins, stomach, breasts and mouth for the ceremonial washing.   This recent change is not yet officially confirmed by the Mormon Church.  Mr. Obama did attend church but because his pastor spoke the truth as it relates to how he was treated in America. He was pushed out of the church because when it comes to the injustice that blacks have experienced if you tell it you’re made to look guilty. Mr. Obama attended church for years and taught his family what was right. But Mr. Romney has never study in the HOUSE OF GOD. So as it relates to who’s Godly and who’s not how could anyone believe Mr. Romney is GODLY?       

 

meth-od-i'-ah

I have come to the conclusion because it’s a fact that if you’ve never heard the truth it’s impossible for you to identify. We see this becoming reality in the preaching of Christ, on more than one occasion Jesus taught “You have heard in time pass, But I say onto you.”  This indicates the people had perceived they knew the truth. And this was based on passed down information from man to man without any true authority. Those us that believe in the Word of God know and except Him as the only True Authority. So then, Interpretation and who’s Interpreting the Word is very important. The Bible teaches “Stand against the WILES of the devil.” In the Greek the word wiles (meth-od-I’ah) means METHOD, and what were the METHOD of the devil “Bad information. “ Gen. 3:1 Now the serpent (the devil) was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Gen. 3:4 And the serpent (the devil ) said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die. We know that this bad information cost Adam and Eve their lives. The Word of God can’t be interpreted by anyone there are those to this day believe and teach the sun, moon and stars were created of the first day. But the Word clearly states “ God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the FOURTH DAY.  Gen. 1:14-19 Reality is if you continue to listen and believe the bad information that being taught today. From people that was never called but placed in positions because they was the pastors driver, carried a briefcase , some woman who knows the Word but hides behinds they’re husband as if we don’t know the truth. Then know for sure your end will be the same as Adam and Eve, YOU SHALL SURELY DIE!     

 

I have experienced many things in life and I’m not easily impressed or fascinated. I’ve owned several businesses, all kinds’ cars, houses on all sides of town and any garment I desired I was able to acquire it. But I must admit there is one thing that I’m fascinated with and that’s the faith professing believers have in the devil. I’m amazed when I hear them explain how powerful the devil is, their faith in satan is more powerful then their belief in Christ. Even when the bible clearly states the Seed of the woman would crush the head of the devil. This means Jesus had to crush satan head in his physical body as the woman’s Seed. God spoke through the Apostle Paul in the book of Hebrews and clearly said          “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, Christ also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death Christ might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” 2:14  So then, our focus should not be on the devil but on us, because James wrote” But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.  1:14 In all reality think about it what need is it for the devil when we’re all born with the nature of satan. All of us must be BORN AGAIN and this is where our focus must be. Place all your faith in CHRIST and you will see a real change in your life. We are not defiled by and outside source” But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man……

 

Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Matt. 23:24 Jesus taught the way to HIM is narrow strait and few of us will find it. In today’s society we have many guides and it doesn’t matter called are uncalled everyone has a word. Not many respect the Truth or I can even say not many know the Truth. Marriage consulates without ever having husband are wife. Those without any accomplishments living on the coat tail of someone eases achievements. Not all homosexuals are out of the closet the most powerful and the holiest ones are still making proselytes. I saw a sister that I taught in Sunday school she was only about 9 years old and was 100% woman. She loved the things of God but one of these GUIDES poisoned the sister and now she’s trapped.                

 

IS IT TRUE ?

Since we’re born without any experience it’s impossible for us to know the right path to take. We must be taught what’s right and wrong, good and evil, clean and unclean. Fortunately people that lived before us have recorded this information in books. Even GOD has a Book to assist us in our growth and if read a person can develop and mature in the wisdom of GOD. But it’s a known fact that if you want to hide something it’s said just place it in a Book. This is the same mentality that some have today as it relates to Voting.  They believe if they place your vote inside a voting booth the same as you want open a book nether will you open the voting booth……      

WORTH THE SQUEEZE

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal.  2:20 Crucifixion is how the Roman Government taught obedience. There’s a saying “make sure the juice is worth the squeeze! This is exactly what the Romans were saying you make sure that your crime is worth the pain of Crucifixion. Jesus taught us that there are something’s in live worth taking the pain for.  

"The pot calling the kettle black"

( Abortion IS ABORTION   )  Renee Schoof and Halimah Abdullah | McClatchy Newspapers  WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote Friday on a bill that's mushroomed recently into a plan to block the Obama administration's two main rules to clean up air pollution from power plants and change the way the Clean Air Act has worked for 40 years. House Republicans who crafted the bill say environmental regulations harm economic competitiveness. In recent days, they've added amendments that would stop new air-pollution regulations that operators of coal-fired electric plants have objected to for years. Environmental and health groups call it an extreme attack on the air pollution law.Read more here: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/09/21/124856/house-gop-bill-would-roll-back.html#storylink=cpy

US: Thousands die annually from power-plant Pollution from electric power plants in the United States shortens the lives of more than 30,000 people every year, according to a new report released here by environmental and health researchers.  The study concludes that soot, or fine particle air pollution, from the nation’s ageing coal-fired power plants is causing tens of thousands of asthma attacks, cardiac problems and upper and lower respiratory problems each year.

THOSE THAT BELIEVE IN ME WILL NEVER DIE....

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  1Cor. 15:51  What is this mystery of not Sleeping ? In this text Sleep is synonymous with death or Sleep is a picture of death. The Apostle Paul wrote the dead in Christ shall rise first and those of us that remain shall also rise...  The Thessalonians's wanted to know what happen to their love ones who died before Jesus was Crucified. Before Jesus was Crucified the Door to heaven was closed. Everyone who died before Christ satisfied the Law was taken to Abraham's Bosom if they believed in GOD. Because Luke wrote the Rich Man and the beggar named Lazarus died. "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in HELL he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."  Luke 16:22-23  But when Christ was Crucified He enter the strong man’s house, and spoil all his goods, satan being trapped by The Blood of Christ. "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison ((( hell )));" 1Peter 3:18-19  The Mystery is those of us that believe in Jesus Christ  will never die. Because after the Resurrection Jesus became  the open an only Door to heaven. "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.  Matt. 27:50-53

Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1Cor. 1:27 The weakness of the CROSS is hard to understand. To see the power of GOD in the Death of Christ is hard for us. What we see is the weakness of Christ. All the pictures we see of Jesus shows His LOVE. To most of us love represents weakness, we say I'm weak for you as an expression of love.. Jesus is always portrayed as a lowly Shepperd, bleeding on His knees and nailed to the CROSS. People see Preachers and Teachers the same as they saw Jesus weak someone to be disrespected. Jesus at his weakest state on the CROSS was more powerful then anything in creation. "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, Jesus also himself likewise took part of the same; ((( that through death Jesus might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"))) Heb. 2:14  Paul wrote   "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." When God's preachers or teachers are weak THEY ARE STRONG...  "Then said (PREACHER) Samuel Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel HEWED Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.  1Sam. 15:32-33  And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and SLEW them there. 1Kings 18;40

ANGELS CAN'T HAVE SEX WITH HUMANS, A SPIRIT HATH NOT FLESH AND BONE...

Our hearts are exposed when we attempt to interpret the Word of God, or when we give insight into the Scriptures, we also give insight into our spirit.. On average, adult men and women think about sex every seven seconds. This explains why we believe Angels had sexual relations with human beings..  ^"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."  Gen. 6:4  This text is void of any angel, human special attention, but we teach and believe that angels had relations with humans. After the death of Abel, Cain descendant's populated the known world with evil. People didn't call on the name of the Lord.  "And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. . And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: ((( then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.))) Gen. 4:25-26  Theses men who called on the Name of the Lord the descendants of Seth are The Sons of God. The daughters of men are the descendants of Cain.   " For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Rom. 8:14 Not angels.. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His  Name: John 1:12  And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: ((( yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.))) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.   Gen. 6:1-5  The conclusion is Cain didn't love God more then himself and couldn't be TRUSTED to teach his children the TRUTH. Seth did teach his children to respect the things of God. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. The same as Eve's good manners was corrupted by communicating with satan.. So were the descendants of Seth when they communicated with the descendants of Cain.. This union was so ungodly God gave man 120 years to repent. Noah preached 120 years and only 8 people had and ear to hear. The reality is not many really want the truth, nor will most people except the TRUTH. "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it. Matt. 7:13-14  WILL YOU BE ONE OF THE FEW ?

And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD ; and great shall be the peace of thy children. Is. 54:13     The Apostle Paul wrote the world is full for voices and all believe they know the way of Righteousness. Paul also wrote to Timothy let no man despise thy youth and the Church of GOD is full of young pastors and they too believe they know the way to GOD. The Bible also states a pastor should not be a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Well where's the balance how do we get the truth ? Only the Truth can free us from the bonds that blind our minds from understanding that JESUS is really here. Jesus is here to teach us that we may know the TRUTH which will make us free..  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto ME.   John 6:45  "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."  Heb. 12:2

WHEN SAW WE THEE SICK JESUS ?

Some historian's believe doing the reign of king David in time of war the blind, lame, sick and people with mental health problems where used as human barricades. Even today we to us these helpless people for our entertainment ! When is the last time you noticed a person dancing at a service station ? Or walking down the street talking to them selves. 2 Samuel 5:6 tells us the Jubusites taunted king David with the sick.... "And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither." People in need of ((( MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ))) are placed on the streets of America and used to supply the PRISONS WITH LABOURS only after they cause pain and death. Arizona has long offered mental health services, such as case workers and prescription drug coverage, to residents who don't qualify for Medicaid, but also don't have private insurance that covers mental health services. But since 2008, the state has had to slash a whopping $65 million from that program, affecting as many as 28,000 people last year. Who are they? Mostly residents who've been mentally stable for years, being treated with prescription drugs, counseling and group therapy through programs in the area. Now, thousands of patients have lost their case workers, their doctors and access to group therapy, and many have been forced to take generic medications because the state no longer pays for most brand name drugs.

Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD’S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.    Ex. 32:26-28

FOUR-LETTER WORD

VOTE !

SOFTSOAP......

Living along has it's advantages, what I like most about it is I'm running things and when I say things I mean everything... I'm running the dishwasher, wash machine, dryer, sweeper and running water to wash the dishes. The problem I'm having is the smell or the mildew from the kitchen sponge ? I buy them regularly and they begin to smell pretty fast. Why? How can I stop it from happening? I rinse and squeeze them dry as possible before putting it up. I even use bleach to kill all the bacteria and it comes RIGHT BACK.. Bad habits are constantly knocking at the door of our hearts trying to get back in. Sin that we've repented for or habits that we had controlled has now returned and has started to smell. The same as the sponge has to be cleansed on a daily we too must be washed daily.  The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. Is there no BALM in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? Jer. 8:20-22 Since I'm running things it is my responsbilty to find some BALM for the sponge. What I find is what I needed was right in my face. Since the sponge was full of bacteria it needed to be washed. And there it was the BACTERIA HAND SOAP SITTING RIGHT ON THE SINK IN FRONT OF ME. I started to wash the sponge with the BACTERIA KILLING SOAP. On the next day the odor was still eliminated and there was a wonderful scent.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

The question has been asked why was Jesus born, why was it necessary for HIM to become visible ? The Bible teach us in the book of Romans that which may be known of God is seen by us; for God hath shewed it unto us. For the invisible things of HIM from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and Godhead; so that we are without excuse: Because that, when we knew God, we glorified HIM not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in our imaginations, and our foolish hearts were darkened. Professing ourselves to be wise, we have become fools, Jesus gave us several reasons for HIS appearing. Jesus said HE was born to judge the ruler of this world. Even "Pilate therefore said unto Jesus, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Jesus also said HE came to save us from our sins, to heal the broken hearted, give sight to the blind, cast out demons, heal our body's and show us the love of GOD. But the number one reason Jesus was born was to show us HIS GLORY. OUR FATHER WITH ALL POWER CHOOSES TO BE A  GOOD GOD, A GOD OF LOVE.  The evidents of HIS LOVE is demonstrated by our existence.

LIFE WILL SHOW YOU, IF YOUR FAITH IS TRUE !

And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.      2Peter 1:6-9

IS IT " I " ?

What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.     Romans 7:7  Knowing who and what you are is very important. Some of us will spend a life time and die and never know who we were. We are made in the image and likeness of GOD. But there's one difference our spirit's are contaminated with the nature of satan which is SELFISHNESS. One of the main by products of selfishness is to COVET.  Covetousness - a strong desire after the possession of worldly things (Col. 3:5; Eph. 5:5; Heb. 13:5; 1 Tim. 6:9, 10; Matt. 6:20). It assumes sometimes the more aggravated form of avarice, which is the mark of cold-hearted worldliness.

Today the closet is like a magicians hat !

Today the closet is like a magicians hat you never know what my come out of it. But what we do know is most people closets are full of hidden sin. You can always tell when a persons closet is full because they're holier then GOD HIMSELF. They do nothing wrong, they drip Holiness when they're closets are full of sin. Most pastor's and preachers wives know they're husband's are nothing but whores. And they make it so hard for the people to live. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. Also there's regular people that were NEVER called to teach or preach but they're holier then Melchizedek on the out side..  Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. These people act as if they're holier then CHRIST HIMSELF. But there closet is full of disobedience's.  John 8:1-9

THE THIRD TEMPLE

Jesus taught HE would destroy the TEMPLE and rebuild it in three days. Jesus made it clear that the Temple was and is HIS BODY. Ezekiel wrote there would be the restoring of the Temple. This Temple that Ezekiel wrote about was and is the BODY of The Lord Jesus Christ. John wrote in the Book of Revelation when he looked in heaven he saw NO TEMPLE. "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.  Rev. 21:22-23 So then, The Third TEMPLE is Jesus HIM SELF. The Third Temple is portrayed as a religious notion and desire in Judaism rooted and expressed in many of Judaism's prayers for the return and rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem that had once stood as the First and Second Temples that were destroyed by the ancient Babylonians and the Romans. Since the destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70, religious Jews have expressed their desire to see the building of a Third Temple on the Temple Mount. Prayer for this is a formal part of the Jewish tradition of thrice daily Amidah prayer. Though it remains unbuilt, the notion of and desire for a Third Temple is sacred in Judaism. In life there are things that grow in value, the longer they exist the greater our  appreciation. But on the other hand there's things in life that loose value. They're no longer able to satisfy with the same intensity. Like a car in it's first months with that famous new car smell. But the older the car gets the less it's worth. The earthly Temple's lost there value in time and became irrelevant. To say that the Temple is The Body of Christ shouldn't be a surprise because our body's are temples. "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 1Cor. 6:19  The FATHER has taught us every time the Temple was rebuild it lost glory. "And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.  Ezra 3:10-13 The last TEMPLE has less outer glory then the first two. "For HE shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Is. 53:2  JESUS SAID COME TO ME.
