priests could enter daily. The most holy place which enshrined the Shekinah glory, the ark, and the preserved law, was only for the high priest who could enter in only once in a year on the day of atonement. The Greek word for the holy place was "hieron," which means a sacred priestly edifice, and the most holy place, or the inner sanctuary was called the "naos." Paul the apostle says your body is the temple, that is, the "naos" of the Holy Spirit. The "naos" or the most holy place in this Scripture illustrates the sacredness of our bodies. Our bodies should enshrine the laws of God written in our hearts, which are to be kept with jealous care, with everything else excluded, but allowing the great High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus, to dwell within us continually. IV. The Temple Consigned Consigned means to give up, to sign over, to commit to the possession of another, to entrust into the care of another, or to place in the charge of another. This is just what consecration means. We need to yield our body to the Spirit so that it may become His temple. We are to sanctify ourselves, then we also need to be sanctified by the Lord. To sanctify ourselves means to separate ourselves from everything unholy and worldly, to be set apart for a holy purpose, and for the Lord; then when the Lord sanctifies us, He accepts our body as His temple, and makes it holy for His use, and for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Then our body becomes a house of worship, a house of prayer, and a house that is filled and employed by the Holy Spirit. This should lead to the bearing of holy fruit which the Spirit produces through us, and holy labors, which we produce through the indwelling Spirit. V. The Temple Refined Through the fall and sin, man has sold himself to Satan. Christ died to redeem man, and before the temple (our body) can be refined, man needs to be redeemed. In regeneration, he becomes a son of God and an heir of God. Following regeneration, the experience of sanctification becomes a necessity. Sanctification means to set apart, to dedicate, and it also means to cleanse, to make pure, and holy. When we are cleansed, that will make us uncommon in the sight of God, and it also should make us uncommon in the sight of all around us because so many people are common, sinful, impure, unholy. The Lord informed Peter that which God had cleansed, he should not call common. Paul prayed that the Thessalonians would be sanctified wholly, that is, through and through. This cleansing affects the heart and gives us a pure heart, which manifests itself in clean and holy hands, feet, eyes, tongue, ears, body, desires, ambitions, and plans. Everyone needs to be cleansed so that his body also may be benefited by the cleansing to become a holy temple for the Spirit's indwelling, and that He may employ it as a vessel meet for the Master's use. VI. The Temple Enshrined Enshrined means to be adorned and beautified. Beauty originates with God Who is the Author of genuine beauty. The temple of the Lord was beautified with wood, brass, silver, gold, and fine twined linen. It was adorned with the colors of red, white, blue, and purple. The wood symbolized
flesh and humanity; the brass, that sin has been judged; the silver, redemption. Gold was a majestic emblem of holiness and godliness. The fine twined linen symbolized righteousness; the color of red, atonement; white, purity and holiness; purple, royalty, dignity, and kingliness; and the blue, heavenliness. The life which is under the control of the Spirit should manifest with a holy dignity and a royal kingliness the virtues of purity, holiness, godliness, righteousness and heavenliness, because He dwells within. VII. The Temple Ensigned Ensigned means a distinction which comes by a mark or ornamentation, also to distinguish by a crown. As great changes have been wrought by the Spirit in the lives of God's children on earth, even so the Holy Spirit will accomplish a great change in the bodies of the saints of God in the future. In God's own time the temple of the Holy Ghost will be resurrected, and the body which has experienced corruption, will put on incorruption. The saints who are living at that time will also experience an instantaneous change, which will be that of the mortal putting on immortality. When this corruption will have put on incorruption, and this mortal immortality, there will come an instant rapture in which there will be an instant transportation of these temples of the Holy Ghost to the Lord without spot or wrinkle, which will qualify them for their coronation. Then these temples will be crowned with crowns of eternal glory. *************************************
