FROM THE EDITOR

Dr. Chuck Missler


DEAR FRIENDS
Editor-in-chief, Personal UPDATE

F
or most people, January marks a time for new beginnings. Our New
Year’s resolutions often testify to the fact that we all recognize
the need for change in our lives. From personal improvement to
more noble causes like reading the Bible every day, our desire to
turn over a new leaf seems to present itself most during this time of
the year.
Sadly, from our own personal history, we know that we rarely
have the willpower to carry out our long-term desire. Fortunately,
the Bible tells us that God is faithful even when we are not. It also
informs us that through the Holy Spirit we can experience not only
new life but a new way of living that is guided by God Himself.
This year may God continue to bless you with His strength and
insight as you continue to seek His will, study His word, and follow
His ways.
In His Holy Name,
Chuck

• Three Greek prepositions are used to describe our relationship


with the Holy Spirit:
1) Para, “with”: The Holy Spirit works with us to convict us
of sin and lead us to Jesus Christ.
2) En, “in”: Once we’ve excepted Christ, the Holy Spirit dwells
in us;11
3) Epi, “upon you”: There are some events where the Holy
Spirit comes upon us.12
But is there something more?
Indeed, He even gives us special “gifts.” I do not believe that any
of the “lists” of gifts are intended to be complete, only representative.
No one should boast of having received a greater gift. No servant
is greater than his master.13 Notice this list: Wisdom is first;
tongues last. (!)
• Wisdom (sophia): Divine wisdom, contrasted with human
wisdom;14 is one of the “Seven Spirits” of Isa 11:1,2; fulfilled in
Christ;15 given to Steven,16 and available to us all.17
• Knowledge (gnosis): This depends, not on intellect, but on love;
an intimate personal relationship. (Contrast Peter’s rhetorical
performance prior to Pentecost with his two sermons after)!18
• Faith: Not simply “saving faith,” but an unshakable trust that
God will perform miracles. As Peter and John in opposing the
Sanhedrin, preaching the gospel, healing the cripple;19 Paul’s call
to Rome,20 his behavior during the storm on the Mediterranean
Sea.21 Even Elijah was “a man like us.”22
• Healing: Not a permanent gift, but a sovereign manifestation
of the Spirit.23 Even Paul’s own “thorn in the flesh” went

unhealed.24 Furthermore, he indirectly admits that he lacked the


ability to heal either Epaphroditus,25 Timothy,26 or Trophimus.27
Yet, we should not cease asking.28
• Miracles: Miracles were the distinctive mark of an apostle.29
They were used to confirm the message of the gospel.30
More miracles took place during Jesus’ ministry, than at any
other time in Biblical history. The supreme one being the
resurrection, which is the subject of Chapter 15.
• Prophecy: “Forthtelling,” a key element at Corinth (as seen in
Chapter 11), sometimes predictions (Agabus,31) or to interpret
God’s Will to the church.32 Prophetic utterances are always to
be judged by Scripture.33 God’s Word is always the standard.
• Discerning of the Spirits: Satan, often as an Angel of Light,34
communicates false information and deceit, as with Eve.35
The prophet Micah revealed to the kings of Israel and Judah
that a lying spirit spoke through the mouths of all the prophets
of Israel. 36 Jesus discerned the voice of Satan in Peter;37
Paul recognized Bar-Jesus as the son of the devil,38 and the
fortune-telling of the slave girl.39 John instructed us to test
the spirits.40 In the end times, Satan and his cohorts will work
miracles.41 There will be false teachers also.42
• Tongues: It seems that the church at Corinth had become
extremely preoccupied with the gift of tongues. The exercise
of this gift also generated so many problems that an entire
chapter (14) is devoted to them.

The Gift of Tongues in the NT: At Pentecost;43 when the Lord


Jesus was saying farewell to His disciples, He said, “these signs shall
follow them that believe...they shall speak with new tongues.”44
Following Peter’s address in the house of Cornelius, the Holy Spirit
fell upon those assembled there and they spoke with tongues.45
When Paul came to Ephesus he found a few believers who were
unrecognizable as Christians. He asked them if they had received
the Holy Spirit and they said they had never heard of it.
They then received the Holy Spirit and we are told that they spoke
with tongues.46 Speaking in unknown tongues often accompanies
the epi relationship.47
The Key Admonition: “…dividing to every man severally as
He will.”
1 Corinthians 12:11 KJV

• No one received all the gifts and no one is without a gift.


The Spirit neglects no one and all is the result of His divine
prerogative. We each can have all of the “graces” but we cannot
have all of the “gifts.”48
Are the Spiritual Gifts for today?
Throughout this passage, Paul speaks in the present passive
indicative (“is being given”) to convey that God continues to give these
special gifts to His people.
1) The Holy Spirit is immutable: He changes not.
2) Where does it say they are to terminate? In Jesus’
Upper Room confirmations, He makes no mention
of their termination.
3) Peter’s Declaration is definitive: “This is that which was
spoken of by Joel”49—for the last days (which began at
Pentecost) and this doesn’t end until the last days!!!

There are some that maintain that these gifts only continued until
the “canon” was complete (leaning on 1 Corinthians 13:10, “when
that which is perfect is come” or complete); however, no doctrine can
be based on the “completion of the canon” due to the omission of the
seven thunders in Revelation 10:4, as well as other considerations.
Paul gives us three directives:
1. First, pursue love (in many ways this concludes in
Chapter 13). The fruit of the Spirit, love,50 is more
important than gifts. (I believe we do better as
“fruit inspectors” rather than “gift inspectors.”)
2. Second, desire (“strive eagerly”) for the spiritual gifts;
God’s sovereignty does not cancel man’s responsibility.
It’s interesting that there appears to be a commitment
on our part. We must ask.51 [Paul uses the word
“pursue” eight times in his letters.52 The verb requires
intensity and determination.]
3. Third, especially that you prophesy. Prophecy is
preferred, repeatedly.53
Desire the greater (higher) gifts. (Chapter 14 will relegate
tongues to the last on the list; extolling prophesying—
forthtelling the gospel.)
Yet Paul will show us “a more excellent way”: Chapter 13. Love is
not a “spiritual gift” but rather a complete way of life.54
[A challenge: Substitute “Jesus” in the places where Agapè appears;
it fits beautifully. Then substitute your own name: it will highlight
a profound “shortfall…” Pray about it.]

The apostle Paul told the Corinthian Christians, “Now


concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.”

Sadly, today many people are confused about the person and
work of the Holy Spirit.

• Who or what is the Holy Spirit?


• What are the gifts of the Spirit?
• Are the gifts of the Spirit for today?
• Do all Christians have spiritual gifts?
• What is the greatest sign of being filled with the Holy Spirit?

The Temple Mount, Jerusalem.

LET THE DEBATE BEGIN!


Jesus warned His disciples of the coming destruction of the
temple and that not one stone of the temple would be left on top of
another. Matthew 24:1-2 says, “Then Jesus went out and departed from
the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the
temple. And Jesus said to them, ‘Do you not see all these things? Assuredly,
I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not
be thrown down.” Christ’s words clearly state that the entire temple,
each and every stone, would be dug up, dislodged, and tossed away.
It is interesting to note that there

standing?
Historian Flavius Josephus wrote that the entirety of the temple
was indeed in total ruin and destruction after 70 AD. He went on to
say that if he had not personally been in Jerusalem during the war and

14 | VOLUME 25 | ISSUE 1
COVER CONTENTS ORDER January 2015 | Personal UPDATE

witnessed the demolition by Titus of the temple that took place there,
he wouldn’t have believed it ever existed. Josephus (Jewish Wars, VII,
1.1) speaks of widespread destruction in all Jerusalem as well.
So, if the Temple was completely destroyed to the last stone
being toppled over, what is, and was, the huge stone fortress we
see today rising over Jerusalem? I believe, as do others, that it once
was the Roman fort occupied by the mighty Tenth Legion (Legio X
Fretensis). I also believe that the true site of Solomon’s temple is about
a thousand feet south of the temple mount in the City of David.
This would mean that Jesus was correct in His prophetic words
and that each and every stone, to the last one, was thrown down.
WHERE WAS THE TEMPLE?
The garrison of Fort Antonia in Jerusalem was as big as several
cities, according to Josephus, housing approximately 6,000 men
plus the needed support staff. All told, as many as 10,000 personnel
served there. But this huge fort has never been found in Jerusalem
by archaeologists. I feel that the reason archaeologists have not found
the mighty Roman fort is because the tradition of the Temple Mount
complex being the temple site has blinded them.
The Western Wall, Jerusalem.

CITY OF DAVID
Three thousand years ago, the City of David was about 12 acres in
size and had an estimated population of only around 2,000 people. It
is a finger of land just south of the present traditional Temple Mount.
As a former policeman, I would like at this point to lay out a linear
case for the City of David as the one and only place for the temple,
but first must present a brief history. The Jebusite fortification was
a fortress, albeit a small one, but it had what David wanted. It was
strategically situated, with a high walled castle-looking complex rising
majestically from the Kidron Valley. A spring flowed abundantly
inside with clear, pure water, which made it even more desirable.
The Bible tells us that while David and his army were outside
looking up at the Jebusite stronghold, there, standing defiant on the
top of the walls were men hollering down mockingly. 2 Samuel 5:6-
10 describes it this way:
“You shall not come in here; but the blind and the lame will repel
you,” thinking, “David cannot come in here.” Nevertheless David
took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David). Now David
said on that day, “Whoever climbs up by way of the water shaft
and defeats the Jebusites (the lame and the blind, who are hated
by David’s soul), he shall be chief and captain. “Therefore they say,
“The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.”
Then David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the City
of David.
2 Samuel 5:6-10 NKJV

David took control of what the Bible calls the Stronghold of


Zion (Metsudat Tsion), that is, the City of David. These last two
locales (Stronghold of Zion and the City of David) are the huge keys
to solving the riddle as to where the true temple is located. But to
keep on a straight path regarding the true temple site, let’s go back
to David capturing the City of David from the Jebusites. After he
was in his newly taken fortress, David was visited by an angel of
the Lord that pointed out the desired patch of real estate within the
city walls that David was to purchase from Araunah (Ornan) the
Jebusite (2 Samuel 24:18-25). This land purchase was for a threshing

captured the 12-acre fortress by force,
yet God was now ordering David to
pay money to the Jebusite owner for
a threshing floor. But this comment
in Scripture is a huge clue for the
temple location. In 2 Chronicles 3:1
we read: “Now Solomon began to
build the temple at the house of the
Lord at Jerusalem…at the place that
David had prepared on the threshing
floor of Ornan the Jebusite.” This verse
conclusively says that the temple will

be built in the strict boundary of the City of David at the place of the
threshing floor bought from the Jebusite. That can only be in the City
of David, and this makes it impossible for the Temples to have been
on the Temple mount.
A CITY LOST
Over time, the temple was built by Solomon in the City of
David, but it was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC, only to
have other successive temples rebuilt with far less grandeur, finally
ending with Herod building his temple which Christ actually visited
on many occasions. Herod’s temple was destroyed, just as Jesus
predicted, down to the very last stone. As time passed, no one knew
where the completely destroyed temple really was. And since the
Stronghold of Zion was in the City of David, Zion had vanished
as well. For almost two millennia, Zion and the City of David laid
silently together, buried in a forgotten tomb of earth.
Zion, the City of David, and the temple all intersect as one.
I offer the following synopsis of Biblical clues:
• 2 Samuel 5:7 Zion = City of David
• Joel 2:1 Zion = My holy mountain = temple
• Joel 3:17 Zion = My holy mountain = temple
• Joel 3:21 Zion = where the Lord dwells = temple
• Psalm 2:6 Zion = My holy hill = Christ reigning = temple
• Psalm 9:11 Zion = where the Lord dwells = temple
• Psalm 20:2 Zion = from sanctuary = from temple
• Psalm 65:1,4 Zion = Your holy temple
• Psalm 102:16,19 Zion = sanctuary =City of David = temple
• Psalm 132:8,13 Zion = ark resting place=City of David= temple

Even though many still argued as to where the true temple site
was, a Benjamin Tudela (1169) proclaimed emphatically that the
Muslim Haram al- Sharif, the current traditional Temple Mount
platform, was the proper placement of Solomon’s temple.
Eusebius, from the third and fourth century, was curator of the
Library at Caesarea. He was a renowned scholar who is still regarded
with distinction today. He wrote, “The hill called Zion and Jerusalem,
the building there, that is to say, the temple, the Holy of Holies, the
Altar, and whatever else was there dedicated to the glory of God have
been utterly removed or shaken, in fulfillment of the word.” So here
we have the prominent Eusebius clarifying with narrow and crystal
certainty where the temple was located. He tells us that Zion is the
temple site as mentioned in his writings and further notes only a few
lines later that sadly, after the ruin of Zion (City of David), the very
stones from “the temple itself and from its ancient sanctuary” were
scavenged from the temple site in Zion and used for the construction
of “idol temples and of theatres for the populous.”
If I take the words of Eusebius and assemble them into a
paraphrased short paragraph it would read as follows: Zion is
the place of the temple, the Holy of Holies as well as the Altar.
Everything there was shaken down and subsequently ruined.
The scattered stones from the ancient destroyed sanctuary (in Zion/
City of David) were all carried away and made into secular structures
demeaning to God.

Alexander the Great, known as Hecateus of Abdera, testified


that the temple was not only in Zion, but located “nearly in the very
center of the City of David.”
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?
• 2 Samuel 5:7: “Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of
Zion (that is, the City of David).” Zion is undoubtedly within
the City of David.
• Joel 3:17: “So shall you know that I am the Lord your God,
dwelling in Zion My holy mountain.” “My holy Mountain,”
(temple) is, without question, in Zion within the City of David.
• Joel 2:1: “Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm
in My holy mountain!” ”My holy mountain” is the temple
in Zion.
• Psalm 132:8,13: “Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place, You and
the ark of Your strength…For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place.” The “ark of Your
strength” is the Ark of the Covenant. The temple will house the
ark in prophecy and Zion is God’s chosen place for that, as well
as the temple placement.
• Psalm 2:6: “Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.”
The word King is for Christ in this verse, and holy hill is the
temple location in Zion.
• Psalm 102:16,19: “For the Lord shall build up Zion…For He
looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven the
Lord viewed the earth.” Zion and sanctuary/temple are the same
location.
• Isaiah 2:3: “Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord.
To the house of the God of Jacob…For out of Zion shall go
forth the law...” Mountain of the Lord,” is the temple at Zion.
• Isaiah 24:23: “For the Lord of hosts will reign on Mount
Zion...” This is Christ reigning in the temple at Zion.
• Psalm 20:2: “May He send you help from the sanctuary and
strengthen you out of Zion.” Sanctuary is the temple at Zion.
• Psalm 9:11: “Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion!”
The Lord dwells in the temple at Zion.
• Joel 3:21: “For the Lord dwells in Zion.” He resides in the
temple at Zion.
20 | VOLUME 25 | ISSUE 1

• Psalm 65:1,4: “Praise is awaiting you, O God, in Zion...


We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, of Your
holy temple.” The holy temple is at Zion.
• Isaiah 66:20: “‘...to My holy mountain Jerusalem,’ says the
Lord, ‘as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel
into the house of the Lord.’” “My holy mountain” is connected
to “the house of the Lord’s temple” (see Joel 3:17 previous
page). The temple is self-evident as being in Zion.
• 2 Chronicles 3:1: “Now Solomon began to build the house of
the Lord at Jerusalem...at the place that David had prepared
on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.” This verse
conclusively says that the temple will be built in the strict
boundary of the City of David which was the same boundary
of the Jebusite city. Zion is the place which links everything
together. It is the flaming arrow of all clues that flies directly at
the heart of the City of David and the true temple location.
• 1 Kings 1:38-39: ”So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet,
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites and the Pelethites
went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule and
took him to Gihon. Then Zadok, the priest took a horn of
oil from the tabernacle and anointed Solomon....” The Bible
is actually saying here that Solomon
was taken to the Gihon Spring and
at that very spot the priest enters the
tabernacle that held the Ark of the
Covenant and gets oil to anoint the
newly crowned king.” The tabernacle,
with the ark in its hold, was at Gihon
Spring in the City of David at Zion.
I believe this event happened at the
same Gihon Spring where David
set the tent tabernacle in very close
proximity to the threshing floor area.

GOD’S “HOLY MOUNTAIN”
The City of David was rediscovered in the later 1800s and its
walls begin at about 600 feet south of today’s traditional Temple
Mount/Dome of the Rock. I found that the Bible further states,
“So shall you know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Zion
My holy mountain” (Joel 3:17). This is reflective of the verse which
reads, “My holy mountain Jerusalem...as the children of Israel bring
an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord”
(Isaiah 66:20).
These verses indicate that “My holy mountain” is the same as
“the House of the Lord,” which is synonymous with the temple.
Since the threshing floor is the site of the temple, which is in the City
of David, as well as the true place of Zion, it seems all three converge
and solidify in logical summation, as well as logical submission,
that the true location of the temple needs to shift to its proper and
original site—south of the traditional Temple Mount. Micah 4:2-13
gives a further prophetic picture of the temple being located on the
threshing floor in the City of David. From the Oxford Study Bible
(OSB), let me seam several verses together to make that point: In the
days to come, The mountain of the Lord’s house Will be established
higher than all other mountains; The Lord will bring their King on
Mount Zion They do not know the Lord’s thoughts or understand
His purpose; For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing
floor; Start your threshing you people of Zion.

Zion, and the threshing floor. Once again, the threshing floor
(see 2 Chronicles 3:1) is all important in identifying the temple
location. Its connection to Zion, in the City of David, adds to the
corroborative evidence of the true temple location.
Many ancient historians site a spring at the true temple location.
The Roman historian Tacitus recorded that the temple at Jerusalem
had a natural spring of water that welled from its interior. Again,
these references could only be describing the Gihon Spring. It is
located close to what is referred to as the Ophel, which is a bulge of
the earth abutting the City of David (Zion) laying just to the south,
and roughly about 1,000 feet, from the Temple Mount. There are no
springs, however, on top of the Temple Mount. A spring is crucial for
the true temple locale. “A fountain shall flow from the house of the
Lord...” (Joel 3:18). In Ezekiel it reads,
“Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there
was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple faced
east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple,
south of the alter. He brought me out by way of the north gate, and
led me around on the outside to the outer gateway that faces east;
and there was water running out on the right side.”
Ezekiel 47:1-2 NKJV

THE THRESHING FLOOR—PAST AND FUTURE


According to the Bible (as referenced previously in 2 Chronicles
3:1), the threshing floor is, in effect, the anchor point for the temple.
It was in the area of the Gihon Spring. It also seems to be close to
where the angel of the Lord stepped in to abort Abraham’s attempt
to sacrifice his son. A future judgment will occur on this ancient,
missing threshing floor where a new temple will be built. It is where
Jesus will rule and reign. This judgment will be the separating of
the wheat (those who are forgiven) and the chaff (those who are not
forgiven). In Matthew 3:12 we read a chilling foretelling of this fact:
“His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean
out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He
will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” In this verse, the
barn represents heaven—a perfect destination. However, according
to Scripture, if you are a person who rejects the Lord, then you are
essentially...toast!

The Temple Mount is considered to be the historic place of Solomon’s and


Herod’s temple. Muslims call it the Harm al-Sharif, the place from which
Mohammed went to heaven on his horse named Barack. Even though the
Temple Mount is in the most holy site of the Jews and situated right in the
middle of Israel it is also solely in the administrative control of Muslims. Jews
desperately want to take control of the place, as well as rebuild their temple
there. Muslims on-the-other-hand relay a stern warning that if a Jew ever puts
one shovel to their professed holy site a war may follow.
It may be surprising to some, but in the fourth century, people were trying to
find the lost sites of the former temples of Solomon and Herod. They simply
did not know where the temple sites were placed. In 70 AD the temple
was completely and utterly uprooted by the Romans, thus fulfilling Christ’s
prophesy that not one stone would be standing upon another
there.

everything about the true location of Solomon's Temple.

Darkness from Above


The Valley of Baca and the Place of Thunder are among the many
places in the Bible that speak about darkness. Darkness means an
absence of light. In various contexts, darkness can mean something
sinister, but there is also a darkness (an absence of light) that God
allows. Listen to Isaiah 50:10: “Who is among you that feareth the
Lord, that obeyeth the voice of His servant that walketh in darkness

something sinister, Consequently, this Scripture is talking
but there is also a about a believer who is faithful and

of light) that still walks in darkness and has
God allows. no light.
And, it’s so true. Many of the trials that God allows into our lives
come with an absence of light, i.e., they are absolutely confusing,
bewildering and perplexing. Scripture sometimes calls them “the fire
of testing.” Psalm 66, for example, speaks about this and says that this
is the time that God proves us and tests us as silver. If we understand
what He is doing and how we are to endure the darkness and the fire,
then we will come out as “gold” in the end. So, yes, God often allows
darkness, afflictions and difficulties, but only with the purpose
of renewing our strength and turning our difficult times into
“wells of blessing.”
The Presence of God in the Darkness
It’s interesting because many, many Scriptures throughout the
Bible associate God’s presence with darkness and “a thick cloud.”
Consider Exodus 19:9, where God says to Moses: “Lo, I come to thee
in a thick cloud.” And Exodus 34:5: “And the Lord descended in the
cloud and stood with him.” And Exodus 40:38: “…for the cloud of
the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day and the fire was on it by
night.” Even in the New Testament, John 12:29 says: “they heard the

30 | VOLUME 25 | ISSUE 1

thunder in the cloud,” speaking of God’s voice, and they were fearful.
(Luke 9:34)
These Scriptures seem to suggest that God’s presence is simply
obscured in darkness, so we must not think of “darkness” in itself
as being something bad or fearful or scary. (Exodus 20:21;
2 Chronicles 6:1;Psalm 97:2) It’s simply one of the ways that
God manifests Himself.
Even in Solomon’s Temple, the Scriptures say that the Holy Place
was so filled with the cloud of God’s presence that the priests were
unable to minister. (1 Kings 8:10-11)
Consequently, it’s important to understand that many of the times we
are walking “closest to the Lord,” we will experience His presence in the
form of a cloud or darkness.
But even in our

experience the same. But even in our darkness, He is always there.
He promises never to leave us nor forsake us.
I do not believe, however, that God causes these night seasons or our
valleys of Baca experiences; He just allows them and then uses them for
His purposes. It’s in the middle of these times that He asks us,
“Do you trust Me?”
Trusting Him in the Dark Times
If you read the book of Job, you’ll see that Job talks a lot about
trusting God in the darkness, blackness and the shadow of death.
For example Job 19:8–10, he speaks to God by saying: “You [speaking
about the Lord] have fenced up my way and set darkness in my path.
You have stripped me of my glory. I am gone. You have removed my
hope like a tree.” (It’s interesting to me that Job associates darkness
here with the loss of hope.)

Just like many of us have made previous commitments to trust


our lives to the Lord (in fact, we’ve probably done this many, many
times before), but because everything continued to go “haywire” in
our situations, we finally gave up and lost hope. God in His Love for
us, however, returns later and once again asks: “Will you trust Me
in the darkness this time? Will you hope in Me now? Will you once
again rely upon Me?” This happens over and over and over again,
until we finally get the message and learn to trust and hope in a
Father whom we don’t always see, whom we don’t always understand
and whom we don’t always know what He is doing. (Isaiah 55:8–9)
One thing I have personally learned over the last few months
is that, for me it’s easier to “trust God” going through difficult,
emotional day to day circumstances than it is to trust Him going
through constant physical pain. Pain wears you down and can become
unbearable at times. When it first begins, you choose to trust the
Lord; but when it doesn’t go away, you often give up and let go.
And, if you don’t know His Word by heart and haven’t memorized
His promises, it becomes very difficult to hold on.
...it’s vitally important What I have learned is that it’s
not only to be in the vitally important not only to be
Word every day, in the Word every day, but also to
but also to memorize memorize God’s promises so that
God’s promises... if you are “taken out,” as I was, you
can still, by faith, hold on. You can
still, by faith, trust Him in the dark and you can still, by faith,
see His handprint. Yes, it’s physically dark, but spiritually it’s light.
The Most Important Scripture
Last night as I was preparing for bed, the Lord brought to my
mind the Scriptural answer as to “how” we can see the Lord in the
midst of our dark seasons. Proverbs 3:5–6 tells us: “Trust in the Lord
with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all
your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”
Notice that if we trust in the Lord and if we acknowledge Him,
then He will direct our paths.

32 | VOLUME 25 | ISSUE 1
COVER CONTENTS ORDER January 2015 | Personal UPDATE

Now this doesn’t mean we emotionally “feel like” trusting Him or


that we “mentally adhere” to saying “I trust You,” but that we simply
“choose by faith to trust Him.” That faith-trust choice then leads to
“acknowledging” Him in all our ways. The word “acknowledge” in this
Scripture means to “see Him right in the middle of our situation.”
Like Moses did in Hebrews 11:27, he saw and acknowledged the
Lord right in the middle of the darkness.
The way this works is that: if we are a cleansed vessel, and if we
have chosen to unconditionally trust in God’s faithfulness (acknowledge
Him), it then frees God to perform His will in our situation, allowing us
to see His Hand of Love and giving us the strength we need to endure
the trial.
A Personal Example:
On one of my lowest days recently, I received a “love gift” from
someone I have never met. It was a book on Zechariah called
“The Prophet of Hope.” This book was written in 1916, almost a
hundred years ago. What the sender didn’t realize is that the very
night before I received his gift, God had directed me to the book of
Zechariah and the story of hope that it entails.
When I read the inscription When I read the
the sender had written in the book, inscription the sender
I wept because I knew the whole had written in the book,

all over it. I had never read the whole experience
Zechariah in that context before,
had God’s fingerprints
nor did I realize that Zechariah was
called ‘the prophet of hope.” all over it.

Was it a coincidence? Or, was it a real experience of seeing God’s


Handprint at that very critical time in my life. To me, it was God’s
way of saying “I love you. I am with you. You can make it through.”
That little experience “allowed me to see God’s faithfulness” in the
midst of my most difficult trial.

So, remember, “to acknowledge Him” simply means to see Him


in the little things. And this is what will give us the endurance to
persevere on. Again, if we trust in the Lord and acknowledge Him
in all our ways, then He will direct our paths. However, it also
works the other way around: If we cease to trust Him, and we don’t
acknowledge Him in all our ways, then He will be unable to direct
our paths.
What this is saying is that we can never stop hoping in the Lord
no matter what our circumstances are, no matter how we feel and no
matter if we understand what He is doing or not. Even if we don’t
see His hand, we must continually choose by faith to trust in His
promises and acknowledge Him in all our ways, because He will
come through…
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not to your own
understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct
your paths.” Proverbs 3:5–6

communicate the messages from our ruling King, Jesus Christ,
to others. How can we effectively accomplish this task?
The Bible tells us that for the message of salvation to be complete,
Man must first understand the existence and character of God.
Therefore, the road to the salvation of mankind begins with the
exploration of the ultimate truth of the existence of God.
The beginning of a person’s reconciliation with God is their
recognition of God.
Knowing the King “Christianity, if false,
The English author C. S. Lewis is of no importance,
wrote, “Christianity, if false, is of no and if true, of infinite
importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only
importance. The only thing it thing it cannot be is
cannot be is moderately important.”6 moderately important.”
The Christian faith is not a simple,
private experience of personal interpretations or impressions. It is
a serious, public exhibition of a worldview that is based on a belief
system which has a foundation of truth that can be examined by an
enquiring world.7 Christianity does not ask its followers to take a
blind leap of faith into the intellectual abyss, but rather presents a
perfectly rational response to the evidence surrounding us, within the
world of science and through insightful discoveries from the Bible.
Knowing God should be the highest pursuit of every person.
What could be more important than to discover God and thereby
discover the purpose for our lives? How important is it to find out

that He is not hidden; to follow the hallmarks of design to the throne


room of the Designer; to catch a glimpse of His greatness; to discover
that the overarching attribute of God is love;8 and to arrive at
a place where we discover that we are the ultimate object of God’s
eternal love?9
Paul’s prayer for the saints at Ephesus pretty much sums up the
greatness of this quest.
“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory,
to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being
rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all
the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may
be filled with all the fullness of God.”10
Ephesians 3:14-19 NKJV

Serving the King


The Bible tells us that believing in the Gospel requires hearing the
Gospel first. The apostle Paul wrote to the Roman Christians saying,
“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach
unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those
who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!’”11
Sadly, today, the percentage of the world that is hearing the Christian
Gospel is getting smaller and smaller.
Preaching is one of the simplest forms of verbal communication.
Where teaching can be defined as “explanation” thus sometimes
requiring substantial preparation, preaching is simply “declaration.”
Paul instructed the Corinthian Church, “For since, in the wisdom

of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased
God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who
believe.”12 For example, if you discovered that your local superstore
was having a one-day sale on an item that previously was too
expensive to consider, your natural response to the discovery of this
good news would be to tell as many of your friends as possible, so
they could enjoy the benefit with you. How much more important is
the Gospel message before a world lost in darkness and without hope?
The apostle Paul then points out that every Christian has been
given the “ministry of reconciliation.” “Now all things are of God, who
has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the
ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling
the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has
committed to us the word of reconciliation.”13 Thus we can fulfil the
command of the Great Commission by preaching the “word of
reconciliation” to an unbelieving world.
The Message from the King
The message of salvation is clearly laid out in the Bible.
The commission for Christ’s ambassadors is great.14 For salvation,
For salvation, Man must Man must first understand the 15
existence and character of God,
first understand the then the purpose and power of
existence and character the Bible,16 the person of Jesus
of God... Christ,17 and the nature of Man.18
This awareness prepares Man for the message of the Gospel.19 Being
confronted with a holy and just God should cause sinful Man, who
is deserving of God’s judgment, to naturally seek a way of salvation.
In subsequent articles I will unpack the message of the ambassador
of Christ, thus giving a clear understanding of the message delivered
under “The Ambassador’s Mandate.”
