The Tabernacle of David Series

This episode covers the historic context of the tabernacle with King David, the journey of the ark of the covenant, and the institution of night and day prophetic worship on the hill of Zion. The uniqueness of the tabernacle of David compared to the structure of Moses is examined and the prophetic pictures of the New Covenant seen in David's tent are discussed.

We look at references to the tabernacle in terms of God's kingly reign and His justice, manifested in partnership with His people who prayer with authority. The relationship between the tabernacle and house of prayer for all nations is discussed. Key scriptures from Isaiah are explored to help understand why the tabernacle is tied to God's blueprint in this period of human history with discussion of intercession, joy in prayer, and God's authority released through prayer.

This episode highlights God's plan of restoration figured in the symbology of Joel 2, where the fig tree and vine will both yield their strength. This blueprint involves both the restoration of the Church and restoration of Israel together and we look at what that means from a scriptural viewpoint. We consider the two cries that will bring the return of the Messiah, which is tied to the restoration of both the Church and Israel at the end of the end of this age. The further context of the restoration of the tabernacle in Amos 9 is considered in terms of other eschatological landmarks such as the regathering of Israel, the great harvest, and the restoration of Israel in their land.

In this episode we start with a look at the primary scriptural references to the restoration of the Tabernacle of David. From the New Testament context of the council of Jerusalem in Acts 15 to the original prophecy of Amos recorded in Amos 9, we understand the eschatological implications of the tabernacle of David. This involves the unity of Israel with the nations in worship to the God of Abraham, the bringing together of Jews and Gentiles in the one new man, and manifestation of the restoration beginning in the generation of the Lord's first coming through His second coming and the fullness of the age to come.

An overview of Session 4 - practical dimensions of the Tabernacle of David.

This episode continues the discussion of angelic beings as part of God's dealings and purposes in the world, and the key role of intercession and prayer as part of God's kingdom dynamics. The role of the church in spiritual warfare, the end times sage, and the age to come is highlighted with key Biblical passages that help understand our role. A parallel is drawn between the days of Noah, the canopy that covered the earth in those days, and the generation the Lord returns when the spiritual canopy that surrounds the earth will also come down. Ideas are presented for the role of the Bridal partner in the age to come, alongside of Israel, in God's purposes of redemption. A summary is given that ties key events of the end of the age and the age to come as part of God's plan to restore the Tabernacle of David.

This episode presents Jesus as the current King of the rulers of the earth. It highlights the duality of the spiritual and physical dimensions of God's kingdom, and what His reign looks like in this current age as King of all things in heaven and earth, while being yet in the spiritual realm. The discussion leads into the Bridal partner of the lamb who reigns alongside of Him, and what their role is also in the current Messianic age. The role angelic powers, both good and evil, are also presented in context to the role of the church, and their role in this present darkness of the world.

This episode presents the end times saga, continuing the discussion of the wheat and tares from Matthew 13. The tension and paradox of the end times is presented as two curves seen in scripture that represent the increase, almost exponentially, of both evil and good. This conveys the idea that the Day of Lord is very terrible and very great. God's blueprint for the answer to the rise in evil at the end of this age is cast in terms of the release of His glory and the role of the church as part of God's answer. The key idea that God has sovereignly ordained that humans will partner with Him in His prophetic purposes is presented as part of God's strategy in the end times.

This episode introduces the understanding of the main viewpoints of the millennial kingdom and highlights the kingdom that Jesus prepared His disciples for in this age. Important kingdom principles are discussed from the parables of the four soils, the wheat and tares, and the mustard seed. These are all discussed in detail with focus on the depiction of the harvest of the wicked and righteous together at the end of this age. Parallels are drawn with the discourse on the wheat and tares with Revelation 14, highlighting the maturity of both the righteous and the wicked at the time of the harvest.

An overview of Session 3 - significance of the restoration of the Tabernacle of David.

This episode discusses how we interpret prophecy, especially in terms of traditional/ dispensational thought and highlights the key thought from Ephesians 1:9-10 that God's ultimate plan is for the convergence of the physical and spiritual dimensions of His kingdom together in the Messiah. Discussion is given on the understanding of the apostles in their generation of the Kingdom, the coming together of the One New Man, the relationship of Israel and the Body of Christ (the Church), and pictures of the physical and spiritual aspects of God's kingdom. The episode highlights the transitional age and God's plan to marry the physical and spiritual dimensions in the age to come, forming the context for the restoration of the Tabernacle of David. Concludes with a vision of the end of the end of this age as the Israel and the Church coming together as one in God's kingdom.

This episode discusses the Jewish scriptures (the Tanakh) which is our Old Testament and the oral law that traditional Judaism is based off of. There is discussion of the Talmud and some traditional rabbinic understanding of the timeline of history and the coming of the Messiah. Focus is given on understanding the Kingdom of God, the former ages, the present age of Messiah, and the age to come. Writings from Rashi, the Vilna Gaon, Yehoshua ben Chananyah, and other Talmudic commentators are discussed in context to the Messianic age. Concludes with a discussion of when the Biblical prophets predict the first coming of the Messiah.

This episode provides clarifications from session 1 and a more detailed understanding of the timeline of history that discusses the 7000 year or 7-day plan of restoration. It addresses the Biblical chronologies from Adam to Abraham to Jesus and the understanding of Jewish dating. Provides the interpretive context for much of the prophetic scriptures that are in the context of the major and minor prophets. Focuses on the three dispersions and two regatherings of Israel. Gives a clarification on the feasts of the Lord and their relationship to the initial harvest, great harvest, and full harvest in God's redemptive timeline.

An overview of Session 2 - building blocks for understanding the restoration of the tabernacle.

This episode is a mini teaching on the Feasts of the Lord and presents them as prophetic foreshadows the key events in redemptive history. The feasts of the Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles are all significant as rehearsals of the Lord, and the episode explains where the Restoration of the Tabernacle is typified amongst these in the Feast of Tabernacles. Pictures of Jesus and His work are discussed to give us understanding of what He accomplished at His first coming and what He will accomplish at His second coming.

This episode introduces the theological significance of the restoration of the tabernacle of David and the focus of the Bible in presenting us a 7-day view of redemptive history, from the garden through the millennial kingdom. The Restoration of the Tabernacle of David fits into a broader view of understanding the Kingdom of God. We introduce several key ideas that frame the discussion. History can be seen as 3 seasons of 2000 years, with a final 7th day rest that is the millennial reign of Jesus as the King of the rulers of the earth. Jesus is seen as the one Messiah who is coming twice - as Messiah Son of Joseph, the suffering servant and Passover Lamb, and then as Messiah Son of David, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
