2. This was New - It was not new to God, because He is the beginning and the end. (Eph.3:1-12)God planned this before the "foundation of the World,"Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: (Tabernacle of David Amos.9:11-12, Acts.15:15-17) Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
0. Prepared a place - The PLACE was important to God (and it STILL IS). Everyone agrees, however the place in the new Covenant is "spiritual" NOT the natural. (1Cor.15:45-46)See chart. We use the term, "we are going to Church (meaning the property that the Church is built upon). It is the Church (the people of that is going to the property that the building is built on. The apostles doctrine (teaching) says. "Ye (you) also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." (Mark.14:58, 1Peter.2:5, Eph.2:20-22 "without hands")
3. At circumcision (Gen.17:9-14; 21:1-5) It was the seal to the Covenant that God made with Abraham
0. Take the mark of his name - A COUNTERFEIT to be "like" (Isa.14:11-14, the real. Many are looking for a natural mark
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. NOTE: the connection of taking to NAME then a MARK.
0. After this I will return - This not the Seconding Coming (as some would say) The reasons why... a. James says "to this (the Jew and Gentile both reconciled in Christ which was already taking place. Acts.8:5-17;
10:1-44; 13:1-1-2 / Acts.9:1-15, Rom.11:13, 2Peter.3:1-4. 1Peter.1:18-29, Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12) agree the Prophets b. Amos was prophesying about a restoration of the Tabernacle of David which must be finished before Jesus can return. (Acts.3:18-24, Rev.10:7; 11:15 / Dan.2:42) NOTE: 1Peter.1:10-12 "unto us (The Church)" c. After the Second Coming is the 7th day of God's Redemptive Week. A (1000 years day of rest. NO WORK
TO BE DONE. There will be no building again of the Tabernacle of David. Neither shall there be a building of a Temple
0. Driven out - God cannot change, no sin can stand in His presence (2Cor.6:10-15) Adam and Eve (who were made in image of God / Body, Soul and Spirit Gen.1:26-28; 2:7, 1 Thes.5:23) are now (spiritually) dead in trespasses and sins and walking according to the flesh (Body) and of the (Soul / mind) There spirit is dead. Must worship in spirit and in truth. (John.4:24) Jesus always cause a division when He came on the scene - forced a decision
0. The woman's seed - This is JESUS (The Word made flesh)
0. James -
0. Jew and Gentile together -
0. 50 Years (?) -
0. 1000 years / day -
0. David
a. A "type" of Christ as well as Moses who were both prophet priest and king b. Jesus is referred to as the son of David Both built Tabernacles. Others tried to combine all three together, but was rejected and judged by God.
0. James - On the day of Pentecost, the apostle Peter with the prophet Joel lay a critical foundation for the Church, and now the apostle James with the prophet Amos laying another critical foundation (building block) for the Church. (NOTE: Eph.2:20-22, 1Cor.3:10-11) 0. Now the Ark (the presence of God) was being made available by king David a. The Ark of the Covenant is God's presence with us (Exod.25:8-22; 40:) b. David (a figure of Jesus our High Priest Heb.3:1) made it available for all the Priesthood (that is us, 1Peter.2:5 the Church) to enter in Him (Heb.10:20) before the Ark of the Covenant. Thus being consistent with the pattern c. David had that authority because he qualified as a Prophet, Priest and King. (Moses was the only other Old Testament figure that qualified)
