<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Glory</strong><br />

It was not a coincidence that at the very same time the Ten<br />

Commandment monument was removed that the planet Mars was at its<br />

closest approach to earth that has yet to date happened in history (this<br />

too was national news). Mars represents Michael the archangel who is<br />

the warring angel, hence WARFARE was the key message. In many<br />

ways it seems like the Church of America has positioned herself in a<br />

warfare stance against God’s word.<br />

It was also not a coincidence that the day after they removed Roy<br />

Moore’s ten commandment monument (Aug 28th in the evening) began<br />

the 40 day Jewish season of Teshuvah - a time of introspection /<br />

repentance / and returning to God before the high holy days in the fall.<br />

Teshuvah means “to return” in Hebrew. These 40 days include the<br />

Hebrew month of Elul (30 days), plus the 10 “days of Awe” which<br />

starts at the Feast of Trumpets and goes through the Day of Atonement.<br />

The message is that we need to repent and “return” to God’s word.<br />

These Jewish Feast days are part of God’s order for Christians to<br />

worship Him in truth. While this may sound pretty strange now, within<br />

the next few decades and centuries it will become more and more<br />

commonplace for Christians. Weekly small group meetings, larger<br />

monthly “tribal” meetings, and three yearly city wide meetings<br />

(Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles) will soon become staple<br />

celebrations in the Church in replacement of the way we currently<br />

celebrate Christmas and Easter. Chapter 2 in this <strong>book</strong> contains a chart<br />

of this type of apostolic Church order.<br />

In Chapter 2 we saw how much of the pattern (or matrix) for church<br />

assembly is found in the Old Testament, which is the wrapper for<br />

containing the New Testament life in Christ Jesus. You MUST have<br />

the life before you use the pattern otherwise you will just have dead<br />

religious works. Nevertheless, we have neglected for far too long the<br />

correct pattern for having church out of fear of “legalism” or being<br />

“under the law.”<br />

This brings us back to part of the warfare involved in the removing of<br />

the Ten Commandment monument. For the most part, the Church is<br />

removing the structure on how to assemble in “Church” by relegating<br />

the Old Testament to a secondary role in relevance to Church<br />
