however, is that there is much more. Intimate communion and daily fellowship with the

Creator of the Universe is awaiting those who would traverse farther in. Access to all of the
most holy things of God and access to God’s very presence are being offered to the saint.

It would seem that the world wouldn’t stand a chance in gaining the heart of the
believer. What God offers makes the world appear pale in comparison. Paul described the

things of the world as mere rubbish.

Philippians 3:7-8
But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake

of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value
of knowing Christ Yahshua my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things,

and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ.

The world, however, seems to shout at us while God speaks with a still, small voice.
It would appear that among much of the church that the voice of the world is so loud that

the voice of God is hardly heard at all. Few seem to understand that they are being beckoned

to proceed further into the presence of God.
Those who would proceed into the temple must turn their back on the clamor of the
world with its neon glare and seductive attractiveness. An alternate set of senses must be

employed, senses that can see beyond the temporal into eternal things. Discipline, rigor,

and patience must replace a desire for instant gratification, ease, and comfort. Above all,
one must have seen a glimpse of what awaits him. It was said even of Yahshua, that He
endured the cross for the joy which was set before Him (Hebrews 12:2). We too, must see

the joy which is set before us in order that we may embrace the cross and proceed toward

the Most Holy Place.
