Sukkah Dwelling and One Torah for All

Next Shabbat, we will discuss the seventh and eighth days. After the thousand years, the tabernacle is set up again. Revelation 21 speaks of a tabernacle coming down from heaven, like the bride of God, on the Feast of Tabernacles. He has always wanted to dwell with us since the beginning. He dwelt among us in His first coming, the Word made flesh. He went back up for 2,000 years and is coming soon at the appointed time on Trumpets.

The question is, do you want to dwell with Him? Are we dwelling with Him now? When He comes, everything will be accounted for. Are we dwelling with Him now, living in this dress rehearsal? Dwelling with Him, living with Him, worshiping Him in spirit and truth, cleansing, purifying, paying the price, rather than pursuing "my best life" on this earth. Which life do you want: eternal life or your best life here? There is a contradiction.

We are meant to go through purification and refinement here to live eternally with Him. This life is a vapor. Are we going to enjoy the decades or years we have on earth and perhaps be judged for it, or are we going to cross over and live accordingly now, in eternity? Then we will step over into glorified bodies with the Messiah and the saints.

This is the choice we all have to make. Do we want it here on earth, or do we want eternal life? Please enjoy your life in a godly way, but too many people are pursuing treasures on earth, not in heaven. My treasures were rotten on this earth, and my life was a lie. I would rather hear that now than stand before Him and hear, "I never knew you." He will say this to many Christians, Jews, and mankind. "Get away from me, you who do not practice my Father's commandments, the Torah, the laws."

Which is it? Is the world worth more, livelihood more, riches more, or is eternal life worth more? Eternal life is a hard, narrow road with persecution, found by few. The wide gate, "Ain't life grand? Live your best life," leads many astray. Many will go through the wide gate because they do not have Jesus; it is lip service without deeds. We are saved by the blood of the Lamb, by grace, but our faith is dead without works, as James states.
