The Pilgrimage to Little Rock
 

Well, some on this forum have now made your yearly pilgrimage to Mecca at Little Rock, paying your respects to the large edifice there in the honor of men.

So, how did your trip go?

How did you feel when you looked at the golden Moroni angel above and behind the pulpit?

Did you get the sense of idolatry or was it business as usual?

Isn't it amazing that when we look at the Book we see where the only thing that God said to build was the Tabernacle.

We see the temples being build to glorify man, not God. Poor ol David could not get it right on this one, walking in his flesh as he were.

God told David that David's son would build the temple. David thought it meant Solomon, God meant Jesus Christ. God was referring to the Temple of the Body of Christ.

We see that when Solomon build the temple that from then on it is referred to as Solomon's Temple. When Herod built his temple it is referred to as Herod's Temple. The edifice there in Little Rock is called JH's church. But the Tabernacle is called either the Tabernacle of God or the Tabernacle in the Wilderness. Stephen called it the Church in the Wilderness.

When you went to the Tabernacle your eyes were immediately drawn to the glory cloud, overshadowing the tent. Yet when the queen of Sheba visited Solomon we see that she was drawn to the glory of the buildings, not the glory of the Cloud.

We see this also in Matthew 24 when even the disciples got caught up in the glory of the buildings. Jesus had to remind them that within a generation that was all going to end. How many times have we seen, even in Pentecost, where it only takes one generation to see the end of the glory of the buildings.

God deliver us from the same mistakes that have been made over and over. Men building temples for their glory and God then walks out. Just as He did to the Solomon's Temple, the Glory cloud first went to the doors, then to the gate of the city then to the mount, then left for good. He will not share His glory with another.

Man builds temples, God builds Tabernacles.

Joel Holmes' camp meeting for GIBS. (Good independent brethren)

Quite elaborate to say the least! An angel, yep that does have the Mormon look to it alright. Must have cost a pretty penny to raise such an edifice. But, I am not one to judge another man's work in making a building dedicated to the Lord look elaborate.

My home church needs some major work done on it. We do not have central A/C, because of vandals, and operate on six window units to cool the sanctuary, one in the foyer. I would love to have the finances to do a full remodel of this wonderful place of worship. I would love to have a sheetrock ceiling, better lighting, and yes, central air and heat. But, though we do not have these amenities, we have prayer meeting, Jesus name baptism, holiness unto the Lord, the love of God according to the Word, and godly leadership.

Nah, I been fighting that spirit of idolitry all my life, I know what that angel stands for in the spirit.

Anywhere you see a focus on angels like you see there you will also see idolitry and sexual perversion. Ask anyone who lives in Utah or surrounding states that have a large mormon influence.

People in Little Rock may be ignorant of the meaning but not those in the west.

There was another church in Kansas, large conservative icon, has stained glass windows running up the center of the sanctuary. Pictures of angels. That church has also had a history of sexual perversion and idolitry. Think they may be connected or is this just chance?
