Hymn
Down at the Cross
E. A. Hoffman
Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to his name!
Glory to his name,
Glory to his name;
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to his name!
I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where he took me in;
Glory to his name! Refrain
Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to his name! Refrain
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to his name! Refrain
Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
…Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
…Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
…Born of the Virgin Mary,
…Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
…Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
…And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.
Scripture Reading
Haggai 2:6-9
“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. 7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty. 8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. 9 ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

Word (Bartizan), Prayer (Journey), Evidence (Guidepost)
On Sundays, hold onto the Word that is alive and at work—this is the bartizan.
Prayer must truly operate—that’s how you go on the journey.
Then actual answers and testimonies arise—these are the milestones.
The Trinity, Darkness, and the Kingdom
While you hold this covenant, the Triune God works, darkness is broken, and the kingdom of God and His work are fulfilled. That is what is happening now.
Lifelong Prayer Topic
At this time, your lifelong prayer topics connect with lifelong answers. David enjoyed this best: since the former temple was destroyed, build the new temple.
> The true answer is that darkness is broken and world evangelization happens through you. If your vocation is used for world evangelization, there is no greater blessing.
▣ Introduction — Causes of the Temple’s Destruction
1. Solomon — When God’s desired temple is built, the doors of the world open. Not knowing why they were opening, Solomon erred: he drew world elites, accommodated their requests, and idolatry covered Israel.
2. Hezekiah — When global summits visited, he showed them the palace, the temple, and the royal treasury. Later Babylon invaded, burned the temple, and carried off the sacred articles.
3. The Three Courts — Because the three courts (and the three feasts) were lost.
▣ Main Message
1. Restore David’s Temple
1) Restore the temple housing the Ark of the Covenant.
2) Restore the Holy of Holies and the Holy Place.
3) Tabernacle-centered, Tent of Meeting–centered, and camp-centered life.
In the wilderness, life revolved around the tabernacle; worship was offered most of all. God granted unsurpassed wisdom. Offerings were given most abundantly. World economy was influenced.
Tent of Meeting–centered. Every doorway of the homes faced the temple—camp-centered.
2. A Temple for All Peoples — Restore the Temple that Saves the Nations
1) Open the era of the Three Courts.
2) The fire of 24 / Three Day Weekend Age.
Keep the 24-hour fire burning.
Enter the Three Day Weekend Age (focused-concentration).
3) Holy Meditation Age & the blood sacrifice.
Open the Holy Meditation Age that will save the world.
Regard the blood sacrifice as most important here.
3. The Future Temple — Rebuild the Temple that Will Save the Future
1) A temple that blocks disasters — deliver God’s Word that halts disaster.
2) A temple to save the 237 nations and 5,000 people groups.
3) RT (Remnant) Temple — to save:
TCK: Remnants who have lost their way (Third Culture Kids),
CCK: Those living within dark culture with no gospel,
NCK: Those in places with virtually no culture at all.
When the diaspora (many peoples) come, ensure they hear the gospel, receive training, and are sent to evangelize.
▣ Conclusion
1. Heaven and earth shaken — “I will shake the heavens and the earth.”
2. All nations shaken — “I will shake all nations.”
3. Greater glory — “The glory of the latter house will be greater than the former.”
You must experience the power of the Word and verify how the work of the Word moves your vocation.
One resolution: Change anything that keeps you from evangelizing—poverty, sickness, incompetence. Completely transform your family line before the next generation. If your current vocation cannot serve world evangelization, change it.
