There is no light there. There are no windows and no doors but the Holy of the Holiest was lighted. That was God’s Shekinah glory. That was where He dwelt. That was the Jewish heaven.  The Jewish earth were the Jews themselves.
 
During their journey in the wilderness, their worship was very revolutionary because they were given a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to guide them. When these would stop in a certain place, all of the three million would stop and encamp there. Sometimes they stayed there for three years and this guide would not move. But by the time these moved they would have made friends, had gardens, and built beautiful houses. But they had to move with those guides. Those were their guides in the wilderness.
 
They reached Canaan, but God saw the hearts of the un-believing. He said, you will not enter into My Promised Land. Only those who were 20 years and below were able to enter the Promised Land. Those above 20 years all died in the wilderness.

The Jewish Temple  (A Shadow of Things to Come)
 
If you read the history of how Almighty Father dealt with the Israelites, you see that He dealt with them until the time of the kings: King David and King Solomon. Their burning desire was Father’s plan of building a house for Him.
 
Solomon was designated to build it. God told him in a dream, “Now, you are going to be my son. I am going to be your Father. Ask of me what you will and I will give it to you.” He said to God, “Give me wisdom and understanding. I’m just a child. I do not know how to lead your people.”
 
The Father was pleased with his request and it was granted to him; but some things were added that he did not ask for: riches and wealth, long life and the fame, honor and prestige. So he built the house of God, which was so magnificent, so beautiful because the measurement of it came from God. This was their Canaan, their Promised Land.  
 
Yet as beautiful and as mag-nificent as it was, it was not yet the completion of Father’s salvation works. The Almighty Father does not want to dwell in temples made with man’s hands. He wants to dwell in the real temple.

The Implantation of the Serpent Seed
 
The Father scooped dust from the earth, and formed man. And the Bible says “God breathed the breath of life into Adam’s nostrils”.    All of a sudden he came alive. The Bible says that man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7)
 
The life that you have inside is the soul that came from God. Before the soul came in, you had a body. But it was not yet complete. He wanted to put His spirit within that body.

The body tells you about your connection to the soil, to the earth because that is where you came from. The soul, the life within you tells you who you are. Why is man incomplete without God’s spirit? Because that spirit will tell you about your relationship with Him. Suddenly you will realize, “Wow! Father, You are my Father. I am Your son.”

You came from Him. That’s why you will respect Him. That’s why you will serve Him. That’s why you are connected to Him. That’s why you have a re-lationship with Him! That’s why you will obey His will.

But before God could put the spirit within you, another spirit came and disrupted God’s plan.  His name is Lucifer, a spirit who fell from heaven.

Instead of God implanting His seed, His spirit, within man - which is the completion of the creation of man - it was the devil who implanted his serpent seed in man. Did God say you will not eat of the fruit of the tree? Yes! We will die if we eat of the fruit. But the serpent said, “No, surely you won’t die but you will become gods like Him.”

Satan taught the woman to disobey God’s will. This is the definition of sin - disobedience to the Father’s will. So when Adam and Eve accepted the devil’s doctrine to disobey, the serpent seed was implanted in their soul.

The Almighty Father has  also seeds. These are His words. That is why He said, “We are not born of corruptible seed but of the incorruptible, by the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever.” (1 Peter 1:23)

The Father’s commandment, “Do not eat,” was already the beginning of the implantation of God’s seed in man. But the devil dislodged it.  He aborted God’s seed within the soul of Adam and Eve by saying, “No, you will not really die. You will become gods like Him.” He aborted God’s seed in us, God’s spirit, and planted his own seed in us - his spirit of disobedience. That was when sin began.

Satan implanted his seed wi-thin us through our first parents. When they propagated physically, everyone that is born of the flesh would have the spiritual life of Lucifer.  They would have the spiritual life of disobedience to the will of the Father. We are all sinners. We have inherited that and we cannot do anything about it. It is a spiritual problem within us. It is embedded in our soul. Nobody can solve that. Not religion, not denomination! It is only the Father that can solve that for us.

Everyone that is born is under the rulership of Satan. Instead of Adam sitting on the throne as the king of God’s creation, it is Satan. He is  the king. Why? The kingship of Adam was mortgaged to him by his deception of man. Man gave all the title deeds to the devil so that is why everyone born in the flesh automatically becomes a child of the devil.

Religion cannot solve it. That is why even if you have religion, you are still the child of the devil and you still have the serpent seed. 

The Father’s Salvation Work Begins

And so the salvation work of the Father began. This was to bring back man to His original plan, which is that His own spirit would be implanted in man. But how will that happen when this disobedient spirit is already embedded within us? He came into our house without paying the rent and usurped the authority and right of ownership. Who will evict him?

God had a plan, because He was the only one who could do that.

He had a chosen people, the Jews, in whom He would begin the work of salvation. He sent Jesus Christ to them. See, if you are Jewish, you would believe that that was the completion of salvation. You have to subscribe to the Jewish type of worship to get to heaven. Wherever you are, you get your compass and look towards the direction of Je-rusalem. Because that is where God is. That is the dwelling place of God. That was the Jewish mentality.
 
The Jews did not know that Jesus Christ was going to phase out their worship and introduce a new one, which was the completion of God saving man. They may have been Jewish, been given the covenants, and were given the measurement on how to worship God, but the salvation works were not com-pleted, because all that had nothing to do with the spirit of man.  These had nothing to do with the dislodgement of Satan as king of our lives because of that serpent seed that is em-bedded within us. Religion can-not do that, though it may have a temple. This temple with the Shekinah Glory of God.
 
The Jewish people were per-secuted by foreign forces. They wanted salvation. So a Messiah came to save them. His name was Jesus Christ. He was God’s solu-tion to the serpent seed, to the problem of sin. But the Jews had a different perspective of the Mes-siah. He was to save them from political and physical bondage. God’s idea was to save them from spiritual bondage, because that was the greatest bondage of all.
 
So Jesus Christ was misun-derstood when He came. He said, “Repent! Surrender for the King-dom of God is at hand.” Repen-tance is surrender to God’s will. This is a battle between God’s will and the will of the flesh, which is the spirit of sin embed-ded in us. So redemption work began with the Jewish people. Jesus preached to them.
