Wait and See!

Listen to this blog.

The man took me back to the outer courtyard, near the east gate of the temple area. I saw that the doors to this gate were closed.

The [Lord] said:

I, the [Lord] God of Israel, came through this gate, so it must remain closed forever! No one must ever use it.

Ezekiel 44:1-2

The glory of the Lord returned to the Temple through the east gate. After that God said the east gate must remain closed forever. I have known this fact for years, but I have never really pondered it's significance.

The Bible says that Christians are the temple of the Holy Spirit. After the Spirit of God comes into your heart you must close the door to everyone else. Jesus does not want to share your heart with the world. The Lord is jealous for your heart and the affections of it. He wants you to be exclusively committed to Him and not "involved" with anyone else.

Marriage between a man and a woman was designed by God to be a perfect picture of Christ and His bride. Every woman was created to relate to her husband like the Church should be with the Lord. And every man was born with the natural characteristics that enable him to be to his wife what Christ is to the Church.

That's why Satan wants so desperately to redefine marriage. When a man, any man redefines marriage he effectively rips up the picture so beautifully drawn by God. The sin is not toward men, but God. He will have to answer to God for trying to change what God has designed!

How will God respond? I suppose we can all just wait and see!
