The Pattern of the Assembly of God
When they made the tabernacle, then the Lord was very
strictly with that they made everything according to the
pattern. "And look that thou make them after their pattern,
which was showed thee in the mount." Exodus 25:40.
Those who would carry out the work, they could not do it
by their own professional skill. They received a special
education through God's Spirit. Please, read Exodus
35:30-35, 36:1-2.
In Hebr. Chapters 8, 9 and 10, and in Col. 2:17 we see that
the old covenant and its tabernacle, the temple and laws
are only a shadow of the things that were to come. The Lord
was very strictly concerning the shadow picture, then he must
be still more strictly concerning the real temple - the
Assembly of God. Here human wisdom is not enough. Here
it demands the hidden wisdom which God ordained before
the world unto our glory. 1 Cor. 2:7. God will prepare his
people for works and service, so that the Temple of God may
be built up. Eph. 4:11-16.
Like as Moses and Solomon got patterns to follow, so it is also
a pattern for building up the real Temple of the Lord, the
Assembly of God. What is the pattern of the Temple of God?
It is all that the Bible teaches about the Body of Christ, God's
Temple or the Assembly of God. Rom. 6:17. (The New English
Bible).
