“He said: ‘“Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again defile my holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and their lifeless idols of their kings at their high places.”
– Ezekiel 43:7
Hi James and Ellen,
Your grandpaa at about 11:30 last night – as he was closing the garage door, thought that he saw an intruder in the garage. Do you think that the will of God can ever be thwarted? A guy from ‘Rescue Rooter’ yesterday checked out your grandpaa’s house’s hot water heater. Do you think that God knows what is taking place every moment in the United States? The reason that the ‘Rescue Rooter’ guy came to your grandpaa’s house was because a gal from ‘Rescue Rooter’ called your grandpaa on Monday to ask if your grandpaa needed to have his water heater checked and flushed. Do you think God positioned a guy – who has a perceived socialist or Marxist based ideology, to be the President of the United States so that guys, gals and kids will reflect and introspect on their spiritual health? As the guy from ‘Rescue Rooter’ was checking the water pressure coming out of the water spigot that is on the side of your grandpaa’s house, your grandpaa walked to the back of his house. Do you think that God is setting up right now the return of His Son – who is God – as Jesus Christ, to planet Earth to transform planet Earth? While your grandpaa was at the back of his house, your grandpaa decided to clean the plastic filter that is to keep lint from the dryer that is in your grandpaa’s house from being blown into your grandpaa’s back lawn. Do you think that the reason that God takes you through a life lesson is to have you better prepared to go through the next life lesson that He has planned for you to go through? After noticing that there was very little lint stuck to the plastic filter that is at the back of his house, your grandpaa asked your grandmaa if she had recently cleaned off the lint that would have been caught on the plastic filter. Do you think that what God had some of His prophet spokesmen – like Ezekiel, write what God – as God the Spirit, breathed on him to write will actually take place one day on planet Earth? When your grandmaa told your grandpaa that she had not recently checked the plastic filter, your grandpaa decided to check the hose at the back of the dryer to see if lint was being caught in that hose. What do you think that the glory of God that Ezekiel observed in the vision that he was having and then wrote about in his Ezekiel Book – in Ezekiel 43, will be like when God’s presence enters from the east into a holy temple that will be reestablished for Him on planet Earth in the city of Jerusalem? When your grandpaa went into his garage to find a flathead screwdriver this morning to loosen the clamp that holds the dryer hose to the pipe that sticks out of the wall in your grandmaa’s laundry room, your grandpaa spotted the intruder. What do you think that life is going to be like when God returns His presence to planet Earth? After moving some boxes and suitcases, your grandpaa found the intruder. What do you think that it is going to be like for the guys, gals and kids who will be alive on planet Earth at the time when the glory of God will be radiating from His temple that is going to be in the city of Jerusalem? Your grandmaa helped your grandpaa this morning shoo a kid rabbit out of their garage. Verse 7 is Ezekiel hearing God’s voice in His temple that will be in the city of Jerusalem clearly say – “He said: ‘“Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever. The house of Israel will never again defile my holy name—neither they nor their kings—by their prostitution and their lifeless idols of their kings at their high places.”
If your grandpaa had not spotted this morning the little bunny as it was scooting for cover, the cute ball of fur would have likely starved to death as there is nothing in your grandpaa’s garage that would fill a little cottontail’s stomach or because your grandpaa’s garage gets super warm from the afternoon sun, the little fuzz ball would quite probably have succumbed to the heat. Your grandpaa would probably not have gone into his garage if he had not become concerned about why very little if any lint was going through the dryer’s hose to the outside of his house. Your grandpaa would never have considered checking the dryer’s hose if a gal from ‘Rescue Rooter’ had not called your grandpaa and a guy from ‘Rescue Rooter’ had not come out to your grandpaa’s house. Why do you think that God will at times segue events in a way that are so obvious that the connections belie coincidence while at other times . . . when your grandpaa was a kid, it was not uncommon for your grandpaa to see a cottontail in the backyard of the farm where his dad and ma lived. When your grandmaa and grandpaa cut down several of the small trees in the woods behind the house where they are now living, your grandpaa piled up the branches and tree trunks in a pile hoping that a bunny would make the pile its home. That has not happened so far. Since your grandmaa and grandpaa moved into the house where they are now living, they have not seen a cottontail so far either eating or doing rabbit playing in the front or back of their house – so – where did the kid cottontail come from that was . . .
Ezekiel – in a descriptive way, wrote in his Ezekiel Book about God’s presence returning to planet Earth as to what that will look like, what that will mean and what will be expected of God’s elected guys and gals who will still be living on planet Earth. One of the most important things that will take place will be the building of a 40 foot high altar on which atonement animal sacrifices will be made. What has intrigued you the most – a brazen kid rabbit that checked out your grandpaa’s garage or God’s presence once again being experienced one day soon on planet Earth?
