The believers’ task is to continue to reveal the glory of God, and serve as the means by which the presence of his Spirit flows to the world.23 c Then the whole company of them arose and brought him before Pilate. Those who behold Jesus’ glory believe in him, and following his glorification become God’s temple, the Father’s house (household) in whom Jesus dwells, through his Spirit, fulfilling the Ezekiel 43 prophecy of the new temple. In chapters 13-21 glory and temple are redefined in terms of Christian believers. This portrait is primarily found in chapters 1-12 of the gospel. Ultimately, the hour of his glory is his lifting up on the cross, the definitive means of revealing the glory of the Father. This glory is revealed through Jesus’ teaching, principally in the temple, and through his signs. The Apostle John writes his gospel in response to this situation, and presents Jesus to Jews, both Christian and non-Christian, as the shekinah glory of God – God’s glorifying, revelatory, tabernacling presence, the antitype of both the tabernacle, and the temple, fulfilling the festivals focussed on it. In the decades after the destruction of the Jerusalem temple, and the widening rift between Judaism and Christianity, the temple could no longer serve as the locus of God’s people meeting with their God. So now I am emboldened and encouraged as I in full assurance of faith, send out these books to whoever will read and heed – by the grace of God and the operation of the Holy Ghost. It seems that He has used me to convey His word of truth, despite human inadequacies and surely my fallibility. He is the Author, by His Spirit, of such truths. The scriptures are the main source and the books are entrenched in those very numerous portions of the word of God. He is the Author inasmuch as they are firmly entrenched in His word. The Lord was revealing that He Himself was in these books, being in prayer regarding them and also that He Himself was blowing the trumpet of the three I had penned. I realized that the prayers and indeed the blowing of the trumpet concerned three of my books – ‘Truth, Grace And Power’, ‘The Holy Spirit Came’ and ‘Israel, The Jews And The millennium’. After all, He is our Intercessor in heaven but I had never before seen this in such a strikingly vital and personal manner. Thinking upon the dream, it was strongly apparent to me that the Lord was praying for me – and Peter. I myself am also not prone to receiving Spiritual dreams, having experienced maybe just a few in a lifetime, with some visions and prophecies. He was able to make a drawing of it for me. Then he saw the Lord blow on the group of three-in-one trumpet that seemed to have three long horns like a herald’s, to it. He appeared to be rising as the trumpets appeared in the vision. It was a beautiful scene like a sunrise, with the cloud materializing into the figure of the kneeling Jesus praying. He dreamt in a most real fashion, that He was looking at Jesus who was kneeling in prayer among the clouds, of glory. My husband is not a dreamer and has never before had a dream from the Holy Ghost. ![]() Then the Lord was gracious to me and also to Peter. ![]() Then again, hundreds of millions of believers have their eyes set on Israel, on the Jews and are looking to participate in the millennium. Rather, they consider it refers to ‘signs and wonders’. This was due to the fact the millions of Charismatics and Pentecostals, judging by what I know, do not yet understand the implications of ‘dunamis’ in Acts 1:8. ‘The Lord’s Doing’ IT IS MARVELLOUS IN OUR EYES During the middle of May, 2011, I became somewhat shaky in relation to the writing on ‘dunamis’ and that of the book, “End Times And Israel’.
