PART V: GOD'S GLORY / YOUR LEGACY - Kanaan Ministries

Eph 2: 21-22 “21 In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded)together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holytemple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to thepresence of the Lord].22 In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also arebeing built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode(dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.”Both in Ruth and the story of the journey to Mt Sinai can we see this processof individual cleansing, purity, holiness as well as the unity (in diversity) of thepeople.We see in Ruth a process of cleansing:- bathe- anoint with oil- dress in the finest- go to the threshing floor- lie down and wait.Ruth 3: 3-4 “3 Wash and anoint yourself therefore, and put on your bestclothes and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself knownto the man until he has finished eating and drinking.4 But when he lies down, notice the place where he lies; then go and uncoverhis feet and lie down. And he will tell you what to do.”And Boaz replies to Ruth:Ruth 3:13 “13 Remain tonight, and in the morning if he will perform for youthe part of a kinsman, good; let him do it. But if he will not do the part of akinsman for you, then, as the Lord lives, I will do the part of a kinsman for you.Lie down until the morning.”We see in the counting of the omer:- consecrate- wash themselves- be ready- come to the mountain- waitEx 19: 10-12 “10 And the Lord said to Moses, Go and sanctify the people[set them apart for God] today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes11 And be ready by the third day, for the third day the Lord will come downupon Mount Sinai [in the cloud] in the sight of all the people.12 And you shall set bounds for the people round about, saying, Take heedthat you go not up into the mountain or touch the border of it. Whoevertouches the mountain shall surely be put to death.”55
