One Candlestick Part One

Earthly Temples

Matthew 5:14-16 KJVS
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Candlesticks hold the light that truth brings, to light the way back home.

Ten candlesticks in Solomon’s Temple.

1 Kings 7:49 KJVS
“And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side , and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,“

The Earthly Temple is an example of the Heavenly Temple, but our Lord dwells in the Temples that are not made with hands. We are the Temple , the many memberd body of Christ.”

Acts 7:47-50 KJVS
” But Solomon built him an house. [48] Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, [49] Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? [50] Hath not my hand made all these things?”

Solomon built the Earthly Temple, and soon after he built it, it was infiltrated by strange woman.

1 Kings 11:1-5 KJVS
“But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; [2] Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. [3] And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. [4] For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. [5] For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.”

Strange Woman also symbolizes the Nakar ( Kenites) that infiltrate the House of Israel , and cause false worship. What the Strange Women brought in, in Solomons time, ultimately led to the Babylonian captivity that took place in 586 B.C .

Nebuchadnezzars captivity is a strong type of the captivity that the last king of Babylon ( Satan and his role as antichrist) will do during Sixth Seal , Sixth Trump, and Sixth Vial.( 666)

Look at the word Strange in the Hebrew translation.

2 Kings 25:8-9 KJVS
” And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem: [9] And he burnt the house of the Lord , and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt he with fire.”

The Ten Candlesticks ( symbolically), part of Gods treasures( His people) were taken into captivity; just like it will be during 666 (Satan’s role as antichrist the last king of Babylon.)

Seventy years Nebuchadnezzar held Gods children in captivity. The Babylonian captivity is a strong type of the last half of Daniel’s 70th week.

In the middle of Daniel’s 70th week Satan will appear as the last king of Babylon, and will take the children of God captive, spiritually.

Daniel 9:27 KJVS
“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”

After 70 years the Babylonian captivity, Zerrubabble the Governor held the line of measurement, while the children entered into the new Temple. There was no longer Ten candlesticks in the new Temple that was built after Nebuchadnezzars captivity, there was only one.

Seems to me that is a symbolic way to show unity to Gods children to stay with God.”

Haggai 2:3-4 KJVS
” Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? [4] Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord ; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord , and work: for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts:”

It wasn’t long before that new Temple was infiltrated.

Ezra 2:58-62 KJVS
All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred ninety and two. [59] And these were they which went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father’s house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel: [60] The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two. [61] And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: [62] These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.”

The Kenites who symbolize the Strange Women, entering into the Temple with Israel. This infiltration caused the children of Israel to be in the wilderness guided by false worship, and untruth.

Jesus Christ’s first advent cleaned out the Temple , and allowed the people to keep their temple clean (Matthew chapter 21:10 through13.)

Through the saving grace of the blood that was shed on the cross, and Jesus Himself being the Word in the flesh (John chapter 1: 1 through 14); He opened up the veil for us not to go into captivity. Unfortunately People reject Him today and stay in that false worship and untruth all the way up to ,and throughout the final Generation that started in 1948, with all Four Horns( Four Hidden Dynasties) scattering Israel.

Zechariah 1:18-21 KJVS
” Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. [19] And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. [20] And the Lord shewed me four carpenters. [21] Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.”

The scattering continues today, and will all the way up to and ultimately at 666.

This scattering that is done by the Nakar ( Kenites) ultimately will lead to the Temple( people) being destroyed by last king of Babylon which is Satan’s role of antichrist in the middle of the Five Month Long Hour of Temptation .

It’s not a physical Temple that will be destroyed , but it will be a third who are Christians ( many membered body of Christ) that will be spiritually destroyed by Satan’s deceit, during 666 which begins in the middle of Daniel’s 70th week.

It will be in the middle of that week which was originally Seven Years shortened to a Five Month Period, most of the light of men and women will stop shining for the True Jesus Christ at 666.

To be continued.
