In the Last Days, God will align the nations back to Himself. However, as we know the ways of God are Holy, so also will be the ways of those nations He directs to become His vessels.
In order for the nations to become a vessel of blessing, there are a number of prerequisites.
Becoming a recipient of the Abrahamic Covenant to bless one's nation involves binding your nation to Israel.
God is a Holy God and His ways are Holy.
Isaiah 14:1-2 says, "The Lord will once again have compassion on Jacob; once again He will choose Israel and will settle then in their own land. Aliens will join them and unite with the house of Jacob. Nations will take them and bring them to their own place. And the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maid servants in the Lord's land."
Isaiah 14:1-2 says, "The Lord will once again have compassion on Jacob; once again He will choose Israel and will settle then in their own land. Aliens will join them and unite with the house of Jacob. Nations will take them and bring them to their own place. And the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maid servants in the Lord's land."
Isaiah 56:6-8 says, "And foreigners who bind themselves to The Lord to serve Him, to love the Name of The Lord, and to worship Him, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant—these will I bring to my Holy Mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a House of Prayer for all nations." The Sovereign Lord declares—He who gathers the exiles of Israel. "I will gather still others to them besides already gathered."
A man or maidservant works in the service of another; a servant works at someone's home. In this case, it is the House of The Lord. What an honor it would be for those nations that are selected.
God is making it very clear that those nations that will be part of this end-time blessing are those that bind themselves to Israel.
The Destiny of your nation will forever be linked to God's intent that is to honor Israel and bless her as He prepares the Messiah Jesus Christ to arrive.
Binding your nation to Israel by praying for the Jewish people and making Jerusalem a praise in the Earth is one element in preparing to become a vessel of blessing.
Becoming a recipient of the Abrahamic Covenant to bless one's nation by blessing Israel also involves examining the soil of your heart.
Romans 12:2 reads, "And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Isaiah 40:1 says, "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people saith The Lord." It is God's design to use His servants to bring His comfort to His people.
Remember, God Himself is selecting the servant nations and those who make up those nations. God is examining your heart every day.
Would God use anyone to bring this comfort? Remember, it is His form of comfort.
Examining the purity of your heart will now be examined by looking at the Tabernacle of David that God is now reviving.
The Restoration of Israel and the Tabernacle of David go hand in hand. You can understand God's love for Israel by the attention He places on the Tabernacle.
"In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David which is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof, and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old" (Amos 9:11).
God is restoring the true pattern of worship. God has promised in His Word to bring us back to His paths in the last days. Those nations that will become a key to blessing Israel are those who conform to the Image of God's Son. In the same vein, God is using this caring attitude towards restoration of Israel.
The Tabernacle of David illustrates the true pattern of worship, reverence and intimacy that God designed and always intended for His people.
It is a plan for royal priests and kings whom God is calling and who are preparing themselves in the last days. The tabernacle of David is a path to bridal intimacy.
David's Tabernacle illustrates the intimacy and open pathway to the Kingdom of God through Jesus Christ.
At the same time that God is restoring Israel, He is bringing His bride into the true pattern of worship and adoration again.
We are at a time of harvest revelation and God is fulfilling His spoken Word.
The Old and New Testament are being united in the person of the Bride. God is reviving His "called out ones" for the wedding of the Lamb.
As God prepares the nations for Himself, He is restoring His priesthood, His Kingship, and His eternal rule through His church.
Let us examine a few of these physical elements of the Tabernacle of David.
The Brazen Altar is the place of the cross and repentance and the Brazen Laver is where the continual washing of the water of God's Word is illustrated.
We are to wash daily in the water of the Word that feeds our spirit and cleanses our hearts.
The Physical Tabernacle was also made up of physical furniture.
The Golden Lampstand represents the seven spirits of God. The lamps, symbolically lit by the oil of the Holy Spirit of God, burned day and night, never to go out. We, too, are to have our spirits burning like fire day and night.
The Table of Shewbread represented a picture of the Son of God, the one who is the Bread of Life. It is the place of fresh manna. The bread is soaked in olive oil, which speaks of our being filled with the oil of the Holy Spirit.
The Altar of Incense represents perfect prayer and intercession. Jesus gave His life and offered Himself up as our Royal Priest. He became the perfect sacrifice, the perfect Intercessory incense offered to God.
It is important to look at each of these physical pieces in the Tabernacle of David to establish in our minds an idea of God's Holiness and examine the order and place of these pieces.
