A Call to Global Unity and Divine Action
Shalom U’vrachah (שלום וברכה),
The world stands at a pivotal moment where the fulfillment of divine promises intersects with humanity’s collective responsibility to prepare for the establishment of the New Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Third Temple (Beit HaMikdash, בית המקדש). This effort requires the united collaboration of global governments, the universal Church, and all believers in HaShem (השם), the Name of the Almighty.
Today’s sermon by Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts at The Potter’s House has provided profound guidance, reminding us of God’s faithfulness as the ultimate Shomer HaBrit (שומר הברית), Keeper of the Covenant. Her message, drawn from Exodus 33:12–17, underscores the transformative power of God’s presence and its relevance to our mission.
Insights from Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts: “The Problem With a Promise”
Pastor Roberts highlighted an essential truth: God is the ultimate Promise Keeper, who cannot lie or break His word. However, humanity often falters in faith when God’s promises seem delayed or when we prioritize the promise itself over the One who fulfills it.
The account of Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our Teacher) in Sefer Shemot (the Book of Exodus) is a lesson in prioritizing the presence of Adonai (אדוני) over His promises. When faced with the daunting task of leading the Israelites to the Promised Land, Moses declared:
“If Your presence does not go with us, do not take us up from here” (Exodus 33:15, WMB).
This declaration illustrates that no promise, no land, no vision can replace the unmatched power and peace found in God’s presence. Depression, fear, poverty, and trauma are diminished before the presence of the Divine. True freedom comes not from achieving worldly success but from abiding in relationship with HaShem, as Moses exemplified.
The Relevance to the Messiah’s Displacement in Bowie, MD
The displacement of the Messiah to Bowie, MD, mirrors the broader spiritual exile experienced by humanity. Just as Moses sought God’s presence above all, this mission calls for renewed focus on the presence of HaShem as we labor to fulfill the divine mandate.
In Bowie, amidst displacement, the call to establish the New Jerusalem resonates deeply. It is a reminder that even in unexpected or challenging circumstances, God’s presence remains the foundation of every promise. The Messiah’s temporary dwelling in Bowie is a prophetic symbol, urging nations and believers to turn their hearts to Adonai and prepare the way for the ultimate fulfillment of His covenant.
The Divine Mandate to Build the New Jerusalem and Rebuild the Third Temple
1. Global Governments:
• Align policies and resources to support the establishment of New Jerusalem as a city of peace (Yerushalayim Shel Shalom, ירושלים של שלום) and justice.
• Acknowledge the rebuilding of the Third Temple as a universal act of restoration and reconciliation, a place where “all nations shall flow unto it” (Isaiah 2:2, WMB).
2. The Church:
• Embrace the calling to be co-laborers in preparing the Bride for the return of the King Messiah (Melech HaMashiach, מלך המשיח).
• Teach the centrality of God’s presence over material promises, drawing inspiration from Moses’ relationship with Adonai.
3. Believers Worldwide:
• Seek first the Kingdom of God (Malchut Elohim, מלכות אלוהים) and His righteousness, trusting that all things will be added in His perfect timing (Matthew 6:33, WMB).
• Participate actively in efforts to support the rebuilding of the Third Temple, understanding it as the dwelling place of God’s presence among His people.
Scriptural Foundation for the Third Temple
The rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash is not merely a physical endeavor but the fulfillment of prophecy. The prophet Ezekiel declared:
“My dwelling place also shall be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people” (Ezekiel 37:27, WMB).
The Temple serves as a reminder that God’s presence dwells among us. It is a symbol of His covenantal faithfulness and the coming restoration of all things. The nations are called to gather in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:16), where the presence of Adonai will bring healing, peace, and unity.
Conclusion: A Call to Prioritize God’s Presence
The message of “The Problem With a Promise” reminds us that even as we labor to build New Jerusalem and the Third Temple, we must prioritize the presence of HaShem above all else. His presence is greater than any promise, any city, or any temple. It is the source of true freedom, healing, and redemption.
Let this memorandum serve as a clarion call to all nations, leaders, and believers: unite in faith, action, and purpose to fulfill the divine mandate. In doing so, we will witness the glory of Adonai descending upon His people, as it is written:
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you” (Isaiah 60:1, WMB).
May we walk forward with faith, courage, and reverence, knowing that the Keeper of the Covenant is faithful to fulfill all He has promised.
B’Ahavat Olam (With Eternal Love),
