THE COVENANT COMMUNITY
The old is a shadow of the new. The new is always better than the old. The Old Testament Temple was built out of living stones. It was not build with bricks and held together with tar or cement, like the pyramids. The living stones in the Temple was cut and chiseled in such a manner that one stone fitted with another.
In the New Covenant, we are the Temple of God. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 and 1 Corinthians 6:19 confirms this fact. Christ is the living stone of this Temple and He is the foundation stone, the cornerstone and the capstone. 1 Peter 2:4-5, says that we 'like' the living stone are being built into a spiritual house (Temple). There is no place for any artificiality like programs or projects, to hold His people together in the new spiritual house that God is building. People of God in the New, come together because of covenant and relationships formed with one another.
Such a time is coming. The Hand of the Lord has started a movement. Luke 12:32 says, 'Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom'. As this movement of little flock rolls down the mountain, it draws many unto it and eventually smashes the traditional.
Why the little flock? Because prophecy has got to be fulfilled. Jeremiah 50:45 says that the little flock will draw out Babylon make her habitation desolate. The nations have gotten drunk with the filth and evils of Babylon. The Lord cries to His people, 'Come out of Babylon!' The little flock is the prophecy of God who will expose Babylon and set His people free.
