God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength. Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things and the things that are not to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord” (NIV). These revelations and interpretations are not for the proud, nor the self-promoting who are but modern day scribes and Pharisees; enemies of the truth (see Mathew 23:13-39). Self must be humbled and nailed to the Cross. Yeshua states in Matthew 23:12, applying the NKJV: “And whosoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” As Yeshua is light, so are those who believe in Him. As He humbled Himself, so we are expected to humble ourselves.”

Everything about the fourth temple points to Yeshua; His finished work on the Cross as well as His continued sanctifying work in the new man to return to the Paradise of God where he will once again be united with Abba Father. The measurements given for the south gate is fifty cubits by twenty-five, here too, and throughout the fourth temple, the atonement of Yeshua’s poured out blood is recorded and celebrated as His grace being multiplied unto those who receive and profess Him. Remembering that the arches are symbolic of Yeshua, the one who carries our burdens, He now gives another set of measurements for these supporting arches; twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide. This is a powerful statement that everything about this new man, this newly constructed temple, is cemented by the mortar of God’s grace!

In Ezekiel 40:31 the palm trees are seen for the first time upon the posts which is symbolically speaking of Yeshua Jesus taking His rightful place in man. Ezekiel’s first ascension of the seven steps with Yeshua is a picture of man’s coming perfection. As man completes this level, we see Yeshua taking the prophet one more step which completes the first and begins the next as he ascends the eighth step with his Lord. These eight steps are a
