Being a person of hope requires that we hold in our heart two seemingly opposite truths at the same time. First, the world, including us, has been thoroughly infected and broken by evil and that brokenness is beyond any human ability to repair. And second, Jesus Christ, through his life, death, and resurrection, paid the full cost for all the evil and brokenness in the world to be forgiven and healed. The first truth helps us to accept this world as it really is and live our lives according to that reality. The second truth helps us to be people of faith and hope in a broken and hurting world. With Jesus, we know how the world's story ends, and that makes all the difference. (Based on Rev. 22:1-13.)
God's purpose is for us to be Temples of God, revealed through His earthly Temples, patterned after His heavenly Temple (Dwelling Place), all pictures of His ultimate eternal Temple (redeemed man in Christ). All Temples (earthly & heavenly) reveal different aspects of His ultimate Temple, revealing how we are to function to His glory. Jesus was the 1st functioning human Temple, indwelt by the Holy Spirit (John 1:14, 2:19-21, 4:21-24). Although man was made to be God's Temple, sin resulted in his spiritual death, so God couldn't indwell him. But Christ made it possible for our spirit to be born again & His Spirit to indwell us, making us His temples. God's earthly Temples are built according to a heavenly blueprint (Heb 8:5), so God's Heavenly Temple, the Father's House, the New Jerusalem gives the clearest revelation about the shape of His ultimate Temple. When God shows John where He'll dwell with His People (Bride) for all eternity (His heavenly Temple), He showed him the New Jerusalem, shaped like a great Mountain, Mt Zion, shining with His glory (Rev 21:2-3,9-11). The peak is the holiest place, the holy of holies, His Throne Room, the centre of all authority, down from which flows the river of life alongside its golden streets (Rev 22:1,2). Its 4-square design means the river divides & flows in 4 main directions to water the city (holy place), and then flows out the gates to the land beyond (outer court). Height represents holiness, so holy places are built on high ground to signify their closeness to God. Thus, God's Throne is at the peak of his holy Mount (Rev 22:1-2). Mountain signifies Kingdom. The river flows downhill from the throne, so the throne must be at the peak (Rev 22:1). This describes us as temples of God. Our highest place is our spirit (Eph 2:6), like a mountain peak. It's where God's authority, glory & presence dwells in the Holy Spirit (the holy of holies), the throne room where Christ is enthroned in us, if we've received Him as Lord. God, the Fountain of living waters, lives in our spirit (Jer 2:13, John 4:14), and desires His river of life to flow out of our spirit (John 7:38), down into our soul, imparting life, authority, power, wisdom, love, health to it, so it can express His life & nature to God's glory. The fact the New Jerusalem, the heavenly City & Temple of God is shaped like a pyramid Mountain is confirmed by Heb 12:22-24. As the daughter of the heavenly Zion (Zech 9:9, Gal 4:26), earthly Zion is made after the image of its mother, so earthly Mt Zion is named after the heavenly Mt Zion (Temple Mount), so if the image of the heavenly Mt Zion is a mountain, so too the heavenly Temple. God's original template for His Dwelling Place (Temple) design is a pyramid mountain City. The whole heavenly Temple (the 3rd Heaven) is also described as ‘Eden, the Garden of God' = Paradise (Ezek 28:12-13, 2Cor 12:4), so earthly Eden was its image. Both have a garden, tree of life (Gen 2:9, Rev 2:7, 22:2,14), river of life (Gen 2:10-14, Rev 22:1-2) & cherubim, who often appear in temples as guardians of the throne (Gen 3:24, Rev 4:6-8, Ezek 28:14). Thus, Eden was God's 1st earthly Temple. Lucifer was originally a cherub in Eden, on the holy heavenly Mountain of God, before he was cast down to earth (Ezek 28:12-14,16-17, Isa 14:12-15, Rev 12:4, Luke 10:18). So, the centre of Eden (God's heavenly Temple) is the holy Mountain, Mt Zion, the New Jerusalem, a Garden City, shaped like a Pyramid. As a cherub, Lucifer lived in this Mount and ministered in the throne room, but in pride tried to ascend within Heaven and establish his own throne above all the angels in God's Throne Room (Holy of Holies), to sit enthroned on the Mount alongside the Most High, but was cast down to the earth (Isa 14:13-15). This confirms God's Throne is at the highest point of this Mount, for he tried to ascend & exalt his throne to the highest place in Heaven, when God was enthroned, to be like (equal in authority to) the Most High. As Eden is a name for the whole Heavenly Temple, centred on a Mountain, so it's the name for the whole original earthly Temple, centred on a Mountain, with (1) its Peak on the west side of Eden (holy of holies), where an underground spring was the source of a great river flowing down into (2) the Garden (holy place) on a plateau on the mountain's east side, with the tree of life, where man lived & walked with God, where it divided into 4 rivers, which watered the whole earth (Gen 2:8-14). So, Eden was on higher ground than the rest of the earth (water flows downhill), signifying its holiness as God's temple. After the fall, man was cast out of the Garden, and (3) went further east (3:24-25), onto lower ground at the base of the Mount, but still within Eden (the outer court), a place of God's Presence (4:16), with an ordained place of sacrifice (4:4), for Cain was cast out of Eden into another land, east of Eden, away from God's special Temple Presence (4:16).

Today's podcast starts with a reading of my latest Substack piece, which you can find here: https://mbest.substack.com/p/the-river-of-life . It's more artistic and poetic than I'm used to writing on this blog, but I felt compelled to write in this way this week, so here I am! After the reading, I share some of my thoughts that go against what I share in the piece, or at least provide more context around it. I hope you find it insightful and applicable. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

The final vision John sees in the New Jerusalem is a vision of the River of Life. Jesus had told His followers, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water" (John 7:37-38). The Bride of the Lamb has a River of Life flowing right through her producing fruit from the tree of life and leaves that are for the healing of the nations! God truly is our full supply and we can completely trust Him as the giver of abundant life! Join us as we worship!

Ezekiel 47 offers a powerful metaphor for spiritual growth, likening it to the depths of a river. From ankle-deep to waters too deep to cross, each stage represents a deeper relationship with God. The river symbolizes life, healing, and restoration, starting from the temple and growing deeper. Reflect on your spiritual journey and take steps to deepen your relationship with God, allowing His life-giving water to flow through you and impact your community.
May the God of Wonders Bless You!

Earth enters a new cycle of life. This SHIFT from the 3rd to and through the 5th dimension takes place between 2012 and 2032. As of 2021 this transformation has accelerated, and many feel it. The old world is collapsing each day more and the new one seems unclear to most. The SHIFT allows Earth to fulfill its mission in our galaxy and each living being on Earth to live up to its highest potential during this incarnation. For humans, it is the shift from egoistic self-centered separation outperforming and overpowering others to soul guided unity with all life perceivable. The SHIFT requires a soul guided move to understanding one's mission(s) as well as feeling and showing compassion. You move into oneness with all of creation in all dimensions in the light of our divine connection. Our study materials help you to accelerate your personal transformation. We can offer you soul connecting and energy filled touching chants, portals to the SANAT KUMARA and LORD GENESHA, stories which are not so fictional but ones that reflect true events but also, affirmations and invocations to higher guidance, as well as textbooks with up-to-date knowledge and wisdom that is not found elsewhere.

I'm Hunter, and today is September 19th, Day 263 of our journey through the Bible. Today's episode delves into the book of Ezekiel, chapters 47 and 48, and the second chapter of Luke's Gospel. Ezekiel presents a transformative vision where water flows from the Temple, bringing life and restoration. We'll explore the detailed allocation of land among the 12 tribes and the spiritual implications of these sacred grounds. In Luke, we witness the birth of Jesus, the shepherds' awe-filled encounter, and the prophetic declarations of Simeon and Anna at the temple. We'll reflect on Mary's deep faith as she treasures these experiences in her heart, reminding us to trust in God's timing and hold onto hope in our lives.

TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

What is the Old Testament about? The repetition of sin and failure can get monotonous and confusing. What is the goal? What is the solution? How can a people be changed? Zephaniah gives us the heart of the message of the Old Testament.
