Isaiah 66 vv8,9: Zion and her sons. (A continuation, many offsprings, many sons.)

1Chron 13 v14: Ark with Obededom (common people seeing the Ark and lived with blessings)

1 Chron 14 vv10,14: The Lord said(spoke) to David. (No intercessor. No mediation of priest. A different covenant/law existed then with David and Zion to the Mosiac law and ritual.)

1 Chron 15 vv1,12: Tent pitched in the city of David, in Zion. (The choiced ground is not Mt. Moriah. David has Divine approval so to do.)

1 Chron 15 vv16, 19-22: David appointed singers with music instruments. (Praise God for He is the initiation. We just follow and watch and learn and praise Him.)

1 Chron 16 v1: Ark in tent. Burnt offerings offered. Peace offerings offered. (No sin offering! God directed it to be a tent and not a house. David was told not to build a house for God but a tent. Many Christians and denominations built houses for God by their own initiation.)

1 Chron 16 v4: A place and time to celebrate, and to thank and praise the Lord God. (This is not a place of separation, but intimacy. Ps26v7)

1 Chron 16 v6: Trumpets/shophar blew.

1 Chron 16 v23: Sing to the Lord. Proclaim good tidings of His Salvation. (Atonement not proclaimed. Sin offerings not made; blood not sprinkled. Ps109)

1 Chron 16 v37: Ministers continually served there. (Continuous singing and praising and thanking the Lord God. Ps27v6,12)

1 Chron 17 v16: David went inside the tent and sat there. (Direct access of David and priests of God. No veil of separation. Intimacy unprecedented in OT rituals and law of Moses. Ps 23v6; Ps27v4,6; Ps108v7)

1 Chron 17 v25: God gave revelation to David there. ( A Place for Divine instruction. People need not dream up answers and procedure.)

26:7 你們要追趕仇敵, 他們必倒在你們刀下.

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

D.Lim: The warriors of Yhwh should be so victorious as to chase after and chase away their enemies.

This is the promise of God (that cannot change).

War is not forbidden by God. It is not a human right to live. God appointed life-span of everyone.

Pacifists(eg: Mennonites) are at their best reading the Word through personal selection/discrimination.

Beware of sin rushing into your house when you allow sin to put a step in your stronghold.

D.Lim: Peace in the Bible refers to completeness in God( both shalom and eirene speak of the same comprehensive meaning), and not a peace that seek to have no war and no bloodshed. David, by Divine approval shed a lot of blood, yet met God face to face, and inspired to write down many psalms/scriptures and prophesies.

The teachings of pacifism of Mennonites are wrong. Looking down upon the brethren who support war is wrong. Shrinking away from the brethren who support war does not fulfil (substantiate) church unity. Teaching peace as a secular term and function is wrong.

And Mennonites also take on secular views of religion, receiving Roman Catholics, tradition(lines of human transmission).

26:8 你們五個人要追趕一百人, 一百人要追趕一萬人, 仇敵必倒在你們刀下.

And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

D.Lim: The abilities of the people of God multiplied when they come together in corporate effort.

Christians ought to come together for the battles of God. Witness together. Effect great victories for God. Please God in His ordained ways.

Hebrews希伯來書 11v6

1:6 再者, 神使長子到世上來的時候, ((或作神再使長子到世上來的時候))就說, [神的使者都要拜他.]

And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

D.Lim: All who belong to God (His messengers) must worship Him. And this is corporated worship. Each individual can worship God together.

A place to meet God is a place of worship, whatever this place may be.

108:1 ((大衛的詩歌.)) A Song. A Psalm of David

D.Lim: Some psalm is meant to be sung more.

Psalm40v1, 41v1, 109v1, 139v1: ((大衛的詩, 交與伶長.)) For the choir director, a Psalm of David.

D.Lim: Some psalm is handed over to the choir director especially for the purpose of music ministry.

Psalm詩篇 133

133:1 ((大衛上行之詩.)) 看哪, 弟兄和睦同居, 是何等的善, 何等的美.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

D.Lim: David had a window to the future in the revelation he received (eg: Ps138v4 concerning all the king in the future. Ps138v7 David will be revived)

D.Lim: David wrote many of the Psalms(Ps 122, 124, 131, 133,138,139, 143,144); wrote much scriptures, their theology. He must have had the revelation and view into the cross, Christ and the communion of the NT church. The OT is not void of the NT. The righteous may also live by faith in OT times.

D.Lim: This is one example of the Psalm of David used for worshipping the Lord God even at his time and days. And the Divine inspiration/revelation speaks of the exceeding beauty of the brethren dwelling together, worshipping in harmony together. This is not just to be something after the end of the world. No indication in the psalm that this unity is only achievable after the end of the world, or within denominations.

133:2 這好比那貴重的油, (.澆.) 在亞倫的頭上, 流到鬍鬚, 又流到他的衣襟.

It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

D.Lim: This is compared with Divine anointing.

133:3 又好比黑門的甘露, 降在錫安山. 因為在那裡有耶和華所命定的福, 就是永遠的生命.

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

D.Lim: Zion is the stronghold of David, is where the tent of David is located and pitched, is where the Lord God commanded the blessing of life for evermore. NT Theology right in the OT.

God did not command this blessing of life from His Temple or the tent of Moses.

God met Enoch, Jacob, Elijah, Moses face to face even without the tent.

Man can come into the presence of God without the separation of the Temple or Temple ritual.

King David wrote Christology and prophesied on Christ. It is ignorance to teach and believe that the saints of the OT did not have NT vision and experience of God.

D.Lim: The physical and historical Zion still exist in Israel.

The Spiritual Zion is where Christians meet with their God.

This little tent in Zion(Divine ordained) is sufficient space for the throne of the Most High, and the meeting place of the saints with the Lord. From this tent flows out the blessing the Lord commanded, which is life for evermore. The tent is closest to the source; just as the dew of Hermon is the source of the living water of River Jordan and Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea of Israel(Hebrew parallelism).

Isaiah以賽亞書 16v5

16:5 必有寶座因慈愛堅立. 必有一位誠誠實實坐在其上, 在大衛帳幕中施行審判, 尋求公平, 速行公義.

And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

D.Lim: Christ, the son of man will judge in the tent of David. This is prophesy, and prophesy that was not fulfiled in the OT after David the King. Mercy is the mark, the characteristic. This speaks of a seat within the tent of David. This speaks of the Mercy Seat (The Holy of Holies).

A prophesy fulfiling in our time.

A proof-text against anti-charismatics. Miraculous things are taking place right in our midst. The tent of David is erected in our time and the time to come. The Bible is not the only thing with Christians to the end of this age.

Men can still meet God face to face in the tent.

Reading the Bible is not meeting God face to face, as it is words and wordings, translations, and no direct immediate face to face interaction.

God judges through His tent of David.

The Bible is used by judges, read out. It cannot carry out judgement by itself.

Matthew馬太福音 17vv1-9

17:1 過了六天, 耶穌帶著彼得, 雅各, 和雅各的兄弟約翰, 暗暗的上了高山.

And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

D.Lim: In the timing of God. Reason very often not known to or determined by men. The tent and meeting place usually have mountain top location. Moses went up the mountain.

Abraham went up Mount Moriah for sacrifice.

17:2 就在他們面前變了形像. 臉面明亮如日頭, 衣裳潔白如光.

And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

D.Lim: The meeting place is where heaven and earth meet. The 2 sides of heaven come together.

Intimacy achieved.

17:3 忽然有摩西, 以利亞, 向他們顯現, 同耶穌說話.

And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

D.Lim: Divine ordained timing. It just happened at the right time.

Anti-charismatics would try to plan everything. Naturalists would try to explain everything.

Obedient Christians just accept it, and enjoy the encounter.

17:4 彼得對耶穌說, 主阿, 我們在這裡真好. 你若願意, 我就在這裡搭三座棚, 一座為你, 一座為摩西, 一座為以利亞.

Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

D.Lim: The impression and teaching and understanding of the tent of David is there, understood by Peter. God dwells in His tent with man. The tent represents good time with the Divine and Spiritual, and can house God.

God can dwell and manifest in a tent if He can remain and sit on the Ark(much smaller than the tent) with angels.

Peter was not asking them to stay. He tried to accommodate them by the way he was taught and knew.

17:5 說話之間, 忽然有一朵光明的雲彩遮蓋他們. 且有聲音從雲彩裡出來說, 這是我的愛子, 我所喜悅的. 你們要聽祂.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

D.Lim: God met men outside the Temple. The glory of God, the presence of God, the cloud is not only manifesting in the Temple. The pillar of cloud led Israelites for 40 years.

17:6 門徒聽見, 就俯伏在地, 極其害怕.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

D.Lim: Christians are able to fear God and humble themselves. Non-Christians often have stiff necks and knees.

There was no time and arrogance to analyse and explain things.

17:7 耶穌進前來, 摸他們說, 起來, 不要害怕.

And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

D.Lim: Nothing new or scary to Jesus(proof of His superiority). Jesus/God the comforter. Mercies and patience.

17:8 他們舉目不見一人, 只見耶穌在那裡.

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

Things/processes took place in no time. It is beyond science. It is not natural.

17:9 下山的時候, 耶穌吩咐他們說, 人子還沒有從死裡復活, 你們不要將所看見的告訴人.

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

D.Lim: This hints on the glory of the bodies after the ressurection. Heaven and earth meet at different time/period and scale(not a linear progression).

Luke路加福音 24v49

24:49 我要將我父所應許的降在你們身上. 你們要在城裡等候, 直到你們領受從上頭來的能力.

And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

D.Lim: Christians ought to live by the promises of God the Father, and God the Son.

We need power from on high. This is the commandment of Christ, and part of NT and Scriptures. No cessation expressed.

D.Lim: Christians have to wait for the timing of God. King David had to wait for his time of recognition and time to be enthroned. The tent of David has to be built by the terms of God in His good timing when sufficient purification and arrangement took place. The formula includes waiting for and waiting on the Lord God.

Ephesians以弗所書 2v6

2:6 他又叫我們與基督耶穌一同復活, 一同坐在天上,

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

D.Lim: How do we sit with God together in Heaven right now? By the tent where Heaven and Earth meet. This verse is not about the future. It speaks of the present time. This is not eschatology. This is apostolic time.

Contrary to cessationists, we are not just left with the Bible and human interpretation from many denominations.

D.Lim: In heavenly places, and not just in one Heaven. The place where men meet God is heavenly place. Many tents, many places. Many brethren and yet one body of Christ.

Sit with God and unite in Him.

2:7 要將他極豐富的恩典, 就是他在基督耶穌裡向我們所施的恩慈, 顯明給後來的世代看.

That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

D.Lim: Many ages, and not just one end of the world. Not just one thousand years. Not just Acts 2, 4, 15.

2:8 你們得救是本乎恩, 也因著信, 這並不是出於自己, 乃是神所賜的.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

D.Lim: God takes initiation. God is good! There is no darkness in Him; but there is(has not been) no absolute light in men (There is darkness in men). Men are adopted sons. Chosen by God the Father.

2:9 也不是出於行為, 免得有人自誇.

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

D.Lim: Arminians boast of their ability to choose God, by choosing Christ, His salvation, His payment for sin. They determined that to be justice.

Naturalists require boasting and staying on top of everything. This independance is SIN.

Those who were adopted, chosen, born were not given choice not to. This is still the justice of God.

God takes initiation, and is still just, as He has the ability and right so to do.

We please God by doing His Will.

Our abilities to do anything according to our will is never part of the Divine Equation/Plan revealed.

2:10 我們原是他的工作, 在基督耶穌裡造成的, 為要叫我們行善, 就是神所預備叫我們行的.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

D.Lim: We are His workmanship. This include the judgement and abilities of ours. We are made that way. We are instilled His image and His virtues. We for sure will be like Him. We are sons of God.

We will achieve unity like God. He has built into us sufficient ability.

God has given us His Faith, enough to move mountains and do mighty work. Trust in Him!

Do not let Satan and evil spirits deceive us. Victories belong to us through Christ. The cross is the sign of our victories over sin through Christ. The Holy Spirit is our pledge.

Those who reject the gifts of the Comforter weaken themselves.

Psalms詩篇 2 vv6-12

2:6 說, 我已立我的君在錫安我的聖山了.

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

D.Lim: His King is not set in the Temple but upon Zion. Zion is the Holy Hill; not Mt. Moriah.

Meet God and His King upon Zion, the stronghold of David, the tent of David. Praise Him there.

D.Lim: King David was not set as the only King upon Zion. Christ (Melchizedek) was there as King of Jerusalem. He was anointed King and acknowledged as King somewhere else. David conquered Jerusalem and came to Zion as King and lived there(the citadel). David moved the Ark there and pitched his tent.

His tent is prophesied to be rebuilt by Micah and referred to by Peter on the Pentecost.

2:7 受 (.膏者說.), 我要傳 (.聖.) 旨. 耶和華曾對我說, 你是我的兒子,我今日生你.

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

D.Lim: Hear God from Zion. Join with the Father there.

D.Lim: King David heard it, and wrote it down, and had it sang out in the tent. Singing revelation.

Acts使徒行傳 15 vv15-18:

15:15 眾先知的話, 也與這意思相合.

And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

D.Lim: All prophets and prophesies in agreement. The Will of God is made manifested to all presented.

15:16 正如 (.經上.) 所寫的, [此後我要回來, 重新修造大衛倒塌的帳幕,把那破壞的, 重新修造建立起來.

After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

D.Lim: This means that the NT scene was a rebuilt of the past, when the tent was in existence at Zion with King David. OT and NT merged together.

We live in the same glory and magnificence.

God has not let people of the OT down.

God is determined to get it done. We are to co-operate in this concert of heaven.

By serving God, listening to Him, we are heavenbound.

15:17 叫餘剩的人, 就是凡稱為我名下的外邦人, 都尋求主.

That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

D.Lim: The tent of David is a witness, and a beacon to all at the epoch. It is the lighthouse. It is the legend, the standard raised.

It is the sign of God.

It is the welcoming and embracing hand of God.

15:18 這話是從創世以來, 顯明這事的主說的.]

Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

D.Lim: This NT scene of Gentiles coming to Christ is known as the rebuilding of the tent of David.

Everyone may seek the Lord in the tent.

The prophets of the NT had agreement in this.

If this is the rebuilding, then King David and his men the musicians must have had the taste of meeting God there in the tent, having the former glory. We are to have the later glory.

This is about worship and intimate communion with God. This is about unity of the church of God/Christ.

United power. Assembled protection.

Zion is made the stronghold of David.

There, on Zion is pitched the tent of David.

God promised to take initiation. It will surely come to pass. The word of God is absolute. Science and scientific findings from theories is not. Consensus of the mass public is not absolute. They sway from generation to generation, from epoch to epoch, from era to era.

Psalms詩篇 2

2:8 你求我, 我就將列國賜你為基業, 將地極賜你為田產.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

D.Lim: The promises and judgement of God.

2:9 你必用鐵杖打破他們. 你必將他們如同窯匠的瓦器摔碎.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

D.Lim: The power of Christ. A recreation yet to come. He is the potter.

2:10 現在你們君王應當醒悟. 你們世上的審判官該受管教.

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

D.Lim: God has commanded obedience. The world turned to other gods (eg: pluralism, humanism, neutralism, exclusionism, science and technology)

2:11 當存畏懼事奉耶和華, 又當存戰兢而快樂.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

D.Lim: There is one united instruction in the Word. One God Yhwh. No room for scientific finding and judgment. God is final and authority. His revelation is final and power and law.

Serve the Lord in the tent.

2:12 當以嘴親子, 恐怕他發怒, 你們便在道中滅亡, 因為他的怒氣快要發作. 凡投靠他的, 都是有福的.

D.Lim: Kiss purely of sincere homage. An act of subjection of a subject to his King. No scientific guess work. No room for experiment. Trust the loving Father.

Ephesians以弗所書 1v3

1:3 願頌讚歸與我們主耶穌基督的父神, 他在基督裡, 曾賜給我們天上各樣屬靈的福氣.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

D.Lim: A will to praise and glorify God the Father.

Through Christ, we are blessed/given all spiritual blessings. With these blessings we will raise the praise in heavenly harmony.

1:4 就如神從創立世界以前, 在基督裡揀選了我們, 使我們在他面前成為聖潔, 無有瑕疵.

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

D.Lim: God chose us even before we were formed in the womb, before the foundation of the world.

His word will surely come to pass. There is no guess work.

It is His Freedom in creation.

1:5 又因愛我們, 就按著自己意旨所喜悅的, 預定我們, 藉著耶穌基督得兒子的名分,

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

D.Lim: God meets us because He loves us. We are the centre of attention. We are the tents the holy Spirit dwells in.

Isaiah以賽亞書 57 v16

57:15 因為那至高至上, 永遠長存, ((原文作住在永遠)) 名為聖者的如此說,我住在至高至聖的所在, 也與心靈痛悔謙卑的人同居, 要使謙卑人的靈甦醒, 也使痛悔人的心甦醒.

For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

D.Lim: This is revival promised by the Holy one – God.

57:16 我必不永遠相爭, 也不長久發怒. 恐怕我所造的人與靈性, 都必發昏.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.

D.Lim: Expression of the lovingkindness of God.

Matthew馬太福音 21 v13

21:13 對他們說, (.經上.) 記著說, [我的殿必稱為禱告的殿. 你們倒使他成為賊窩了.]

And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

D.Lim: The tent of David is about prayers just as the Temple of God. God dwells in both of them. God sat on the Ark which was in the tent. The power of God is manifested with the Ark even when it was moved out of the Temple into enemy territory and back into Israel, to Zion and later moved into the Temple built by Solomon.

We are human tents of God. The Holy Spirit lives in us, Christians. The church is the corporate tent of God.

21:14 在殿裡有瞎子瘸子, 到耶穌跟前. 祂就治好了他們.

And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

D.Lim: The tent is about healing. Christ healed the sick in the house/Temple of God(even when the Ark was not there any longer).

The tent of David housed the glory of God, and is a place for purity, holiness and healing.

This is the Gospel.

Matthew馬太福音 18v18

18:18 我實在告訴你們, 凡你們在地上所捆綁的, 在天上也要捆綁. 凡你們在地上所釋放的, 在天上也要釋放.

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

D.Lim: Authority is given to the believers through Christ. We are acting together with heaven. Both sides of heaven act in unity.

18:19 我又告訴你們, 若是你們中間有兩個人在地上, 同心合意的求甚麼事, 我在天上的父, 必為他們成全.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

D.Lim: Corporate power and strength. Hard to get hurt, break down and disrupt.

The tent of David is about strength, and focus of Divine force.

Acts使徒行傳 4v24

4:24 他們聽見了, 就同心合意的, 高聲向神說, 主阿, 你是造天, 地, 海, 和其中萬物的.

And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

D.Lim: Worship in the tent is about lifting up voices to God with one accord. Continuous Fellowship. All attention directed towards God.

The full meaning of the feast of Tabernacle is yet to be lived out.

4:25 你曾藉著聖靈, (.託.) 你僕人我們祖宗大衛的口, 說, [外邦為甚麼爭鬧, 萬民為甚麼謀算虛妄的事.

Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

D.Lim: Those outside imagine vain things (ie: science first; humanism first; pluralism first)

2Samuel撒母耳記下 5 vv7-10

5:7 然而大衛攻取錫安的保障, 就是大衛的城.

Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.

D.Lim: Zion is the strong hold of David where the Ark was brought to stay, where the tent was pitched.

Zion is the city of David, the presence of the Ark and the tent that house it; where David and his musicians worshipped God.

5:8 當日, 大衛說, 誰攻打耶布斯人, 當上水溝 (.攻打.) 我心裡所恨惡的瘸子, 瞎子. 從此有俗語說, 在那裡有瞎子, 瘸子, 他不能進屋去.

And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

D.Lim: The trenched in enemies are like(regarded as) the lame and the blind to David. His faith is that of the Lord. We, also, have to look to God.

5:9 大衛住在保障裡, 給保障起名叫大衛城. 大衛又從米羅以裡, 周圍築牆.

So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

D.Lim: The tent is pitched in the fort. Zion is the city of David.

5:10 大衛日見強盛, 因為耶和華萬軍之神與他同在.

And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.

D.Lim: God was with David. Very close communion. Strength is gained dwelling with the Lord in Zion.

Psalms詩篇 22

22:1 ((大衛的詩, 交與伶長, 調用朝鹿.)) 我的神, 我的神, 為甚麼離棄我. (.為甚麼.) 遠離不救我, 不聽我 唉哼的言語.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

D.Lim: This OT Christology is written by David. He had the revelation of NT Theology.

NT Theology, providing new songs are sung in the tent.

Serve the Lord with music.

D.Lim: The psalm of David was used in worship, in music, before God. David had revelation of Christ to come. David had worship team with instruments. Instruments were not only use in Temple worship.

D.Lim: In Acts 15 when the prophesy of Amos is fulfilling, instruments and music are also revived.

God is raising up His praises again.

22:2 我的神阿, 我白日呼求, 你不應允. 夜間呼求, 必不住聲.

O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

Psalms詩篇 32

32:1 ((大衛的訓誨詩))得赦免其過, 遮蓋其罪的, 這人是有福的.

Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

D.Lim: David was revealed the covering of sin. David expressed NT Theology. The two worlds of OT and NT twisted together. A window of the NT is openned up even in the OT. The righteous are those who live by faith. Mosaic law was set aside.

32:2 凡心裡沒有詭詐, 耶和華不算為有罪的, 這人是有福的.

Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

D.Lim:Purification by the Lord was expressed right there in the revelation to David.

1Chronicles歷代志上 12 - David and his mighty men

12:4 基遍人以實買雅, 他在三十人中是勇士, 管理他們, 且有耶利米, 雅哈悉, 約哈難, 和基得拉人約撒拔,

And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the Gederathite,

D.Lim: David did not fight all battles alone. He had many mighty men of his own.

Today, apostles also need church leaders to fight for them, and support them.

12:8 迦得支派中有人到曠野的山寨投奔大衛, 都是大能的勇士, 能拿盾牌和槍的戰士. 他們的面貌好像獅子, 快跑如同山上的鹿.

And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;

D.Lim: Mighty men came to David. God caused unity, and teamwork. God provided the leaders.

12:14 這都是迦得人中的軍長, 至小的能抵一百人, 至大的能抵一千人.

These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.

D.Lim: Men of different abilities.

12:18 那時 (.神的.) 靈感動那三十個勇士的首領亞瑪撒, (.他就說.), 大衛阿, 我們是歸於你的. 耶西的兒子阿, 我們是幫助你的. 願你平平安安, 願幫助你的也都平安. 因為你的神幫助你. 大衛就收留他們, 立他們作軍長.

Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.

Matthew馬太福音 21 vv15-16

21:15 祭司長和文士, 看見耶穌所行的奇事, 又見小孩子在殿裡喊著說, 和散那歸於大衛的子孫. 就甚惱怒,

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

D.Lim: God caused children to praise Jesus. Feel free to praise God. It is not what perfect things you think you know. It is about willing hearts and willing action in praising God.

D.Lim: Praise God like children, giving all they have, in harmony.

It is not so much of knowledge, but grace and willingness.

2:13 開路的 ((或作破城的)) 在他們前面上去. 他們直闖過城門, 從城門出去. 他們的王在前面行, 耶和華引導他們.

The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.

D.Lim: It is God who breaks barriers. It is God who facilitates. Trust in God, His promises, His abilities.

No enemies shall stand before God, gentle yet of power.

\o/ \o/ \o/

Romans羅馬書 5v1

5:1 我們既因信稱義, 就藉著我們的主耶穌基督, 得與神相和.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

D.Lim: By faith are Christians justified. By the faith of God, from God.

Christians come to meet God by faith. All things in this world, and all things created do not separate the faithful from God. Meeting God is absolutely possible. The lack of tent of Moses, or Temple do not hinder Christians meeting God.

John約翰福音 14, 15 Loving Christ, and appearance of the Son.

14:17 就是真理的 (.聖.) 靈, 乃世人不能接受的. 因為不見他, 也不認識他. 你們卻認識他. 因他常與你們同在, 也要在你們裡面.

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

D.Lim: The truth is of the Holy Spirit, and from Him. He justifies with faith imparted by Him (God) alone.

Amos阿摩司書 9 v11,12

9:11 到那日, 我必建立大衛倒塌的帳幕, 堵住其中的破口, 把那破壞的建立起來, 重新修造, 像古時一樣.

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

D.Lim: When the day comes. Who can take away that day from the Most High and David and his men?

God has spoken. The prophesy is written and proclaimed.

God will raise up the tent; and close up the breaches thereof.

God will raise up the ruins of David.

All these do not happen in the past, in the OT. They happen in the NT. This is NT Theology.

As in the days of old. So, it was there in the days of old. God was with David and with men.

We are to rebuild this tent by the power of God; resting on His promises, prophesy and peace.

9:12 使以色列人得以東所餘剩的, 和所有稱為我名下的國. 此乃行這事的耶和華說的.

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

The fear of the Lord:

1. Solve problems.
2. All mankind would seek the Lord. This is Evangelism, winning the multitude.

1Corinthians哥林多前書 10 v11

10:11 他們遭遇這些事, 都要作為鑑戒. 並且寫 (.在經上.), 正是警戒 我們這末世的人.

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

1Samuel撒母耳記上 4:

4:3 百姓回到營裡, 以色列的長老說, 耶和華今日為何使我們敗在非利士人面前呢. 我們不如將耶和華的約櫃從示羅抬到我們這裡來, 好在我們中間救我們脫離敵人的手.

And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.

D.Lim: Evil suggestion by evil minds.

Ungodly Israelites limited the power and glory of God. They did not know God.

The judgement of God took time to come to fruition. The scenario played out.

D.Lim: Religion live on without the presence of God. Religion thrive without God.

Many boast of their mighty religion asuming they have God.

4:5 耶和華的約櫃到了營中, 以色列眾人就大聲歡呼, 地便震動.

And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.

D.Lim: The Israelites used God as their talisman, their lucky charm. There was no fear of God.

They were defeated and died in fear of their enemies because they tolerated sin.

Do not rely on some manmade Theology and practice.

Do not shrink from God for convenience.

Fear God and obey Him. He will show us the strategy for building the tent of David where we would meet with our God, face to face!

4:17 報信的回答說, 以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑, 民中被殺的甚多. 你的兩個兒子何弗尼, 非尼哈也都死了, 並且神的 (.約.) 櫃被擄去.

And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.

D.Lim: The Israelites did not fear God, even when Eli the judge was amongst them.

4:18 他一提神的 (.約.) 櫃, 以利就從他的位上往後跌倒, 在門旁折斷頸項而死. 因為他年紀老邁, 身體沉重. 以利作以色列的士師四十年.

And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

D.Lim: Judges do not always do things right or have good happy ending. Those who like to uphold women leadership by referring to Deborah and Jael ought to be warned of their yearning and pride.

4:21 她給孩子起名叫以迦博, 說, 榮耀離開以色列了. 這是因神的 (.約.) 櫃被擄去, 又因她公公和丈夫都死了.

And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.

D.Lim: The Ark and the glory of God can be taken even by foreign idol worshippers. They did not die seeing the Ark. The Israelites did not die bringing the Ark to the battle ground.

4:22 她又說, 榮耀離開以色列, 因為神的 (.約.) 櫃被擄去了.

And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.

D.Lim: The glory of God stayed with the Ark. This means that the glory of God stayed in Zion in the tent of David, with David and the musicians.

David did not suffer any harm seeing and nearing the Ark.

David did the very thing in the heart of God, to be with God all the time. Daily communion with God and the brethren.

David was inspired to write psalms and used them to praise God.

Those who are willing to receive the Ark are blessed by it.

God controled the timing of the movement of the Ark.

We cannot rush God.

God is holy, holy, and holy.

Concentrate on His holiness, with the angels, and praise Him.

We do not seek His counsel first; we do things His way as revealed. We praise Him with the heavenly host and our brethren first (all creation in harmony, and in one accord). God is worthy of all our praises.

\o/ \o/ \o/

Principles to put into practice:

1. Wait for recognition by all (tribes and people). There is no rush to get to the next step.

Even spiritual leaders of God (ie: apostles) have to wait for recognition. Wait for the timing of God.

Enjoy heaven. Enjoy God.

2. Wait for revelation of full calling.

There is a time lapse between the call, the anointing, and the establishment of the throne.

Have patience and faith in God. Have His faith. He is our Rock and our Fortress.

Hold tight to His promises.

3. Fight the enemies of Israel. Fight our Jebusites. Fight off our weakness. Have the strength of God from God. Wait on the Lord. Consult for strategy. Fight smart. Fight Godly. God is Holy. Praise Him.

4- Staying in Hebron. Holding fellowship until the right time to move on. Enjoy fellowship.

Enthroning is not everything in life. Walking with God is happiness and fulfilment. God does not keep us waiting. He is blessing us all the way and all the time.

\o/ \o/ \o/

The key of David requires trust in God for everything. Fear God and obey Him.

Power and strength and wisdom from God.

It is fitting by the pattern of God.

The hearts of the people/Christians are openned by the holiness of God.

Praise His holiness.

Look at and into His holiness.

Have faith in Him alone.

God is never late. Wait on Him. He will execute. He will not let His holy one suffer corruption.

Roadmap to establish the Kingdom of God on both sides of creation.

His Kingdom come. His Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Sing into the heavens.

Called to move in heavenly places.

Prayer with faith is always better than a lack of faith.

Play as the Son.

Know that we are sons of God. Live like we are.

Express what is in the heart of God. Very precious.

It is truly a house of God if we serve Him after what is in His heart.

We are in communion in a deep way.

9- There is healing and restoration before God.

10- Children are praising God. We are to perfect worship. Let the children of God the Father come to the Father.

Rejoice and be glad.

\o/ \o/ \o/

Jesus healed in the House of God. There is healing in the House of Prayers.

The Love of God shed forth.

We may expect miracles with God.

No brokenness in God. He expresses perfect peace (Shalom Shalom).

9- Peace (Luke 10)

Change with an anointing which they carry with them.

Make peace with God, while in communion with the saints.

Bring out an anointing of peace(completeness) that cast away separation, brokenness and other forms of darkness.

\o/ \o/ \o/

Apostles will be found. Wait on God. Listen carefully.

Many religionists have no rule of apostle. Apostolic Succession void of apostles.

Christians everywhere need to interceed for the apostles; pray and interceed for them.

Pray for the great men in the cities. As a Royal Priesthood, interceed and pray and witness for God.

Develop into the fullness of your calling.

The intensity of fellowship to reach one mind and one heart. No mere lip service.

Aim to please God the Father and Christ all the time.

Focus fotally on the Lord Jehovah. Jesus is the Great David. His key is obedience to the Father.

Jesus has His mighty men. They are sent out as apostles, messengers of the Good News.

Good results multiplied by combined effort/fellowship. Reach the multitude by the multitude(joint effort).

Reach the houses of peace and establish fellowship.

This possibly start with a house, a family, or a couple.

Be the white light of God. Aim for purity, holiness.

Stand with God and keep His Word, even then there is hurt. Christ died for us by standing with the Father. Follow Christ.

Real worship begins with intimacy. Come to taste God and know Him directly, personally.

True worship stands as the result of Divine action. God takes the initiation.

Moses met God in the presence of God away from the tent.

Moses needed not offer up sin offerings first.

Moses entered His presence by faith, in obedience to Him.

True Church government is never in committee.

Bush churches often rely on and boast of their many committees.

1. We meditate to open ourselves up to God.
2. Seek God and keep knocking and it shall be openned for us.

The Faith Movement already started this.

God is the driving force. His Grace gives the drive.

Free your minds and not just singing in a skilful way. Be overtaken by the greatness of His heart.

Fill ourselves with His holiness, His love, His faith.

Have corporal experience with God. Worship together in unity.

The body of Christ moves with intimacy with God (Ps133).

Apostolic commanders will rise up and bring this about.

Do not allow yourself to think little of yourselves. Think as a son. Live this out in practice.

God has total faith in His Word. We ought to have His faith.

Our God is the God of War. He is the God of Peace.

God can communicate, and manifest Himself and raise up tent of David everywhere.

His throne is in the tent of David. We sit with Him there. Therein is intimacy.

Trust in Him! Set your heart to believe it!

The cross of Jesus takes away trust in any person ability.

He must increase in us. Improve our relationship with Him. Love Him more.

Right attitude of us produce Royal Priests.

We must do away our inability by faith of the cross. With God, all things are possible.

Get healed and get out to the front line again.

Continuous hot passion, in deep prayer. This is not a church thing. No segregation.

Advance the Kingdom forcefully!

We are to be a light in the city, salt of the World.

We are not here for ourselves. No selfishness needed.

Establish regional power station/source/light house. Establish regional tents of David.

The real light of God comes from/through the houses of peace and the tents of David.

Nurture the next generation. Let them see and do the Godly things pictured in the scheme.

The Holy Spirit is gentle. Very little fear is inspired by Him. Yet He is the Almighty.

Praise God.

The light is the Holy Spirit in command.

Let us all yield to God, His Holy Spirit. Let us all shine with His light, great white light.

Do not let religion and secularism and pluralism lay hold of us.

There is freedom when the Holy Spirit is in command (Isa 11v2)

God the Helper will help us. It is He who truly helps us. If God is on our side, who can be against us.

He will run to help us. He is never slow, even that we have to wait.

Every city is composed of 1000s of villages/tower blocks/communities.

High rise building is a village by itself. Win the cities and villages for God.

In the tent is totally different relationship with God.

There is immediate full access to God and His throne, corporally.

Divine instruction is given to the communion in the tent.

Receive Divine instruction directly from the throne. No mis-interpretation.

Christians are justified by faith in the Lord God. (In Him only) This is salvation.
