charge of the house, of all its service, and of all that shall be done in it.”
How tragic to be a priest in the kingdom of God, yet not be allowed access to God’s
presence or His holy things. This will be the portion of much of the church. However, there
is a remnant who will allow God to purify and refine them; a remnant that is passionate for
Yahshua and shuns the world and its idols. Of them it will be said:
Ezekiel 44:15-16
“But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when
the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and
they shall stand before Me... They shall enter My sanctuary; they shall come near to
My table to minister to Me and keep My charge.”
Yes, being a part of the Bride is an honor accorded to a choice remnant. These will
have access to the presence of God for all eternity. Many who are at ease in Zion will find
much to grieve about when they stand before the King. “There will be weeping and wailing
and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 22:13).
Some might be concerned that a message of performance is being taught in this book.
After so much has been written and preached about grace in recent years, many will
undoubtedly be sensitive to anything that has the appearance of works in it. Works,
however, are a valid concept in scripture. Many in teaching grace have climbed out of the
ditch of legalism, and bondage to performance, only to fall headlong into the ditch on the
opposite side of the road that is marked by license and careless living.
Salvation (deliverance from the penalty of sin) is by faith in Yahshua the Messiah. This
faith is given to us by God. There is nothing a believer can do to add to this salvation.
Christ’s work on the cross was perfect. There is nothing lacking to His finished work in
making atonement for the sins of man. Paul told the Galatian believers that if they tried to
add to this salvation by keeping the Law, or by adhering to someone’s list of rules and
regulations, then Christ had in actuality become of no effect to them. Yahshua’s death was
needless (Galatians 2:21).
There is a whole realm of work outside of deliverance from the penalty of sin, however.
