A King functions in 4 functions:

• Legislation
• Judgment
• Ruling
• Decree / Delegation

Decree / Delegation

• A King orders others to do things that he wants done.
• This is a doing of Mandates by delegation.
• A King delegates Mandates to Men & Angels.
• This is a simple giving of orders to others.

Delegation of Mandates to Angels

• Every Supervisor / Manager has to learn the skill of delegation.
• Delegation multiplies a Manager’s / Supervisor’s effectiveness.
• This is where Angels function for Lords & Kings.

“Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?”  Hebrews 1:14

• Angels are sent forth to minister for believers.
• Minister means “serve” as servants.
• Lords & Kings are able to Mandate Angels.
• Kings of Kings are able to Mandate Men.
• Specifically, Kings of Kings Mandate Men to build The Temple.
• A King of Kings does this by Decree. 

 

How is The Temple built?

To answer this question we need to look at 3 examples.

• The Tabernacle
• Solomon’s Temple
• The 2^nd Temple

 

The Tabernacle

• Moses was in charge of the building of The Tabernacle.
• He was given the Blueprint for The Tabernacle.
• He told everyone what to do.

Solomon’s Temple (The 1^st Temple)

• King David was given The Blueprint for The Temple.
• A Prophet originally was the one who told him to build The Temple.
• David planned for the building of The Temple.
• He collected all of the needed supplies.

The 2^nd Temple

• Cyrus, Gentile King of Kings, made the Decree that the Temple was to be built.
• Various Governors, including Nehemiah, supervised the onsite building.
• The Governors were sent by the King of Kings to supervise the building.
• The High Priest was part of the building project.
• Various Prophets encourage the building project by prophesying.

 

Building The Temple today

• A King of Kings makes the initial Decree that The Temple is to be built.
• A Capstone supervises the building by delegation of Men & Angels.

The Building Process / Journey begins with a Decree issued by a King of Kings.

• That Decree has already been issued.

Capstones supervise the building.

• I experience function as a Capstone as placing individual Living Stones.
• Living Stones have been prepared off site.
• I don’t usually know who I am placing into The Temple.

Preparation as a Living Stone includes 2 things.

• Being chiseled / formed into a Stone ready to be placed in The Temple.
• This makes us into a Stone.
• Resurrection of the Soul to Life.
• This makes us a Living Stone.

 

Who actually does the building of The Temple?

• A King of Kings
• By Decree & by delegation.
• A King of Kings builds The Temple by functioning as a Capstone.
• The Capstone places individual Living Stones into place.

The Capstone function is a King of Kings function. 

• David, Solomon & Cyrus were each a King of Kings.
• Christ as King of Kings is both The Blueprint & The Capstone.
• We are to become Capstones in Oneness with Him.
• A Capstone has The Blueprint for The Temple.
• A Capstone does the building of The Temple according to The Blueprint.

 

Tabernacle vs. Temple

Why didn’t Moses need to be a Capstone?

• Because Moses wasn’t building a Temple.
• He was making a Tent.
• The Tabernacle was a Tent.

What is the difference between a Tabernacle & a Temple?

• A Tabernacle is moveable.
• A Tabernacle is appropriate for a people who are on the move.
• A Tabernacle is for a people who are on a Journey to a Promised Place.
• A Temple has a Foundation.
• A Temple is permanently placed.
• A Temple is for a people who have arrived at their destination.

What is our Destination?

• Our Destination is both a Time & a Place.
• The Time is the fulfillment of The Feast of Tabernacles.
• The Place is in New Jerusalem.

 

The Decree has gone out to build The Temple.

• Where are you in The Process / Journey of being built into a Temple?

 

Jane sees capstone as whole pyramid thing that tops off and stops corruption.

• Maybe both living stones and corporate?
