The Holy Sanctuary

Image
The New Testament applies Tabernacle language and imagery from the Hebrew Bible to the Body of Christ, the Habitation of God’s Holy Spirit . Terms from the Tabernacle and the worship rituals of  Leviticus  are applied in the New Testament to the New Covenant community inaugurated by Jesus Christ. What the Tabernacle prefigured has become reality in the Church, which is “ the habitation of God in Spirit .”

Le Sanctuaire Sacré

Le Nouveau Testament applique le langage et l'imagerie du Tabernacle de la Bible hébraïque au Corps du Christ, l'Habitation du Saint-Esprit de Dieu . Les termes du Tabernacle et des rituels d'adoration du  Lévitique  sont appliqués dans le Nouveau Testament à la communauté de la Nouvelle Alliance inaugurée par Jésus-Christ. Ce que le Tabernacle préfigurait est devenu réalité dans l'Église, qui est “ l'habitation de Dieu en Esprit .”

“Paix et Sécurité!”

Paul a poursuivi sa discussion sur l'arrivée de Christ en abordant ce qui se passera au jour du Seigneur – 1 Thessaloniciens 5: 1-3. L'apôtre Paul discute de “ l'arrivée ” ou ‘ Parousia ’ de Jésus et du Jour du Seigneur dans les chapitres 4 et 5 de 1 Thessaloniciens . Au chapitre 4, il déclare que les chrétiens morts et vivants seront rassemblés pour rencontrer le Seigneur lorsqu'il descendra du Ciel. Au chapitre 5, Paul relie cela et les événements liés au “ Jour du Seigneur ”, et il explique comment ce jour affectera les pieux et les impies.

Paul continued his discussion about Christ’s arrival by addressing what will occur on the Day of the Lord – 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3. The Apostle Paul discusses the “ arrival ” or ‘ Parousia ’ of Jesus and the Day of the Lord in chapters 4 and 5 of 1 Thessalonians . In Chapter 4, he declares that both dead and living Christians will be gathered to meet the Lord as he descends from Heaven. In Chapter 5, Paul links that and related events to “ the Day of the Lord ,” and he explains how that day will affect the godly and the ungodly.

The Storm

Image
The New Testament warns of an apostasy before the Day of the Lord caused by the Son of Destruction, the Man of Lawlessness . The New Testament warns us that before Jesus returns, his Church will be invaded by deceivers, including “ false anointed ones ” and “ false prophets .” Before the “ Day of the Lord ” begins, we will be confronted by the “ Man of Lawlessness , ” whom the Apostle Paul links to the “ Apostasy ,” the great “ falling away ” from the faith. That time is upon us.

God's Supreme Word

Image
God has spoken His definitive word in His Son. All previous words given by the prophets were preparatory, promissory, and partial . God has spoken His supreme Word in His Son, Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah who “ achieved the purification of sins ” through his “ once and for all ” sacrifice for sins. To now return to the Levitical system with its rituals and repeated animal sacrifices would mean disregarding and dishonoring this Supreme Word and Christ’s sacrifice. By doing so, we invite severe punishment.
