Added points for consideration are posted, today, that speak to the issue of Christians, Islamic believers, and Jews sharing the Temple Mount located in divided Israel/Palestine. While we still have the freedom to go further in our focus upon this topic, the drivers of commerce and trade, the politicians of America, and the secular thinkers of the United Nations appear totally unwilling to acknowledge the spiritual concerns and needs of those in the Middle East Region, or those in covenant and submission to GOD world-wide. As ants and other crawling things might be barred as “unclean”, it may be necessary to agree that men are no longer fit to stand on holy ground.
THE BATTLE AXE: Holy Ground (03/30/2014)—(6.) The essential work of divine law is to establish and maintain the frameworks, and order that generates the universe and all life. Sacred law also expresses and reveals the character and eternal purpose of the Law Giver. There are many points of consideration within the law that pertain to acknowledgement of holy ground. Those agreeing to take up the law also must accept the rule that any contradictions are in their own minds, and not in the divine intent, or in the record of what GOD has spoken. (7.) Mankind appears to be presuming that human ownership and use of holy ground (for fasting, prayer, study, worship) is as legitimate as any divine use of holy ground, or is somehow a sharing of holy ground with GOD, when, in fact, it is not. (8.) The agenda and priorities for those churches and faith organizations who seek part in the economy of Israel through relief programs and tourism must be re-examined. Many are unintentionally spreading spiritual confusion, and infecting legitimate efforts to establish the will of GOD by promoting their own carnal, material and subtle (i.e., barely visible, deceptive, hidden) conflicts of interest. (9.) Atonement for sin can be recognized as dependent upon active operations of divinity such as grace and mercy in place of human ceremonies, material offerings, rituals, and sacrifice. While blood was correctly recognized as the vessel that carries and distributes life essence (we say, spirit) throughout ones body, blood itself is not spirit matter, and should be regarded only as flesh. (Blood spilled to the earth through murder and warfare defiles a plot of ground making it unclean (we say, unfit) for sacred use. Once cursed, the soil may be restored only by the blood of the slayers.) A holy table (we say, altar) was required as a point of contact between heaven and earth; and the altar served as a platform for transferring gifts. Only consecrated fire could be used to destroy flesh, and the unseen, nonmaterial, non-spirit sin that was placed upon animals for sacrifice. At the same time corruption was being obliterated, spirit content from works of righteousness (e.g., gratitude, love, obedience, praise, repentance) were being released up to GOD. It is a further benefit of redemption that those purchased from the altar become living sacrifices, and the demands for atonement then may be satisfied through life processes such as the practice of childbearing, confession, forbearance, forgiveness, unselfish giving, penitence, prayer, and reconciliation. (10.) Surely, it would be foolish to insist that there is only one geographical location upon the entire earth that is holy unto GOD, and then have it overrun by the traffic of mankind. Surely, where men insist their sins must be brought before GOD on holy ground, eliminated, and removed, the holy place could not be a place for GOD to enter into divine contemplation, rest, and hallowed refreshing. Many of those having issues regarding access to GOD are focused upon features that are material and vain; as a result, their arguments concerning spiritual benefits are specious. Surely, it would be more profitable to establish a shared resolve that, once we have access granted by GOD, we will display to the Almighty only what is acceptable as comfort, praise, respect, thanksgiving, and proper worship. At the least the Mount is to know a Sabbath. See again Hosea 6: 1-7, Matthew 9: 9-17, Romans 10: 1-3 and Romans 11: 1-36, King James Version.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4: 23-24, KJV)
There are many more points to be made regarding the Temple Mount of today that may be featured in future blog presentations. Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to the measure of divinity that resides within you.
Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: (Amos 5: 8, KJV)
