TABERNACLE KEYS OF REVIVAL<br />

true salvation. The fact that the gospel is so “one way” will <strong>of</strong>fend many. The<br />

curtain that surrounded the whole <strong>Tabernacle</strong> was pure white linen. The only<br />

place where this differs is at the gate, which was located on the East Side.<br />

The fact it was located on the East Side is prophetic <strong>of</strong> Jesus’ dying outside<br />

the eastern gate <strong>of</strong> Jerusalem <strong>and</strong> his return from the east. The gate stood<br />

out, because it was a beautiful mixture <strong>of</strong> interwoven colors. The colors were<br />

blue, purple, scarlet, <strong>and</strong> white. This is also symbolic. The blue speaks <strong>of</strong><br />

Jesus as the Son <strong>of</strong> God coming down from heaven as seen in the gospel <strong>of</strong><br />

John. The purple speaks <strong>of</strong> Jesus’ royalty as the king <strong>of</strong> the Jews as seen in<br />

the gospel <strong>of</strong> Matthew. The scarlet speaks <strong>of</strong> the suffering savior as seen in<br />

Mark’s writing. Last, the white speaks <strong>of</strong> Jesus as the righteous pure man as<br />

seen in Luke. So we see the gospels prophesied in the gate.<br />

Do you really know the Lord?<br />

As I sat in the chair speaking with Pastor Steve, the first thing he asked was<br />

if I knew Jesus. He then prodded to see if I have a relationship with him.<br />

After that, he wanted to know if I live holy. I was taken aback at first because<br />

I am a Christian <strong>and</strong> honestly wasn’t expecting him to ask these questions.<br />

Man, that meeting changed my life. Of course, I know the Lord, have a true<br />

relationship with him, <strong>and</strong> I do live holy. But the fact that he would ask me<br />

those questions inspired me. Many times this man <strong>of</strong> God will ask other min­<br />

isters, “So what has Jesus been talking to you about?” He is trying to see if<br />

they are close to the Lord <strong>and</strong> hearing from him. I believe this is one reason<br />

that God has lifted up Steve Hill in these last days. A pastor on staff at<br />

Heartl<strong>and</strong> Fellowship Church (<strong>of</strong> which Steve Hill is Pastor) said he asked<br />

the Lord what made Pastor Steve different than other ministers. The Lord<br />

replied, “He lives holy.” The staff pastor went on to say that he would watch<br />

Pastor Steve as they were out together. One time at an airport a half­<br />

dressed attractive woman was walking toward them. He watched as Pastor<br />

Steve turned away <strong>and</strong> looked a different direction from the woman. Pastor<br />

Steve was guarding his eyes, <strong>and</strong> his heart from lust. He did not know the<br />

staff pastor was watching him. This type <strong>of</strong> integrity is what the Lord is look­<br />

ing for in his men <strong>and</strong> women.<br />

Matthew 7:19­23 “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down <strong>and</strong><br />

thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone<br />

who says to me ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom <strong>of</strong> heaven, but only he<br />

who does the will <strong>of</strong> my father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that<br />

day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, <strong>and</strong> in your name drive<br />

out demons <strong>and</strong> perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I<br />

never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers.’”<br />
