This is a time in the life of our church that is known as a high holy
moment. We have gathered here today for a purpose that usually comes only once
in the lifetime of a congregation. But for us in the short history of seventeen
years in the life of Cornerstone Baptist Church it is the second dedication of a
building to the work and glory of God. When we lost our building last June 15th
due to a lightning strike that set the building on fire, we had no idea what God
had planned for us. But look about you and will see how the work of many people
has resulted in this reconstruction that we dedicate to the Kingdom of God
today.
The scripture passage that we read together took place at the dedication of the first Temple in Jerusalem. In time it would be destroyed and rebuilt three times. Today,We have a fantastic range of Glass Tiles and glass mosaic Tiles. all that is left of the third Temple is a wall where the Jewish people pray known as The Wailing Wall. As we stood on Temple Mount we were told that there are plans to build a fourth Temple in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.All RUBBER MATS is comprised of all types of mats.
We do not know how long this building will stand. Hopefully, it will serve the succeeding congregations until Jesus comes again. It does not matter how earnestly we pray today or how joyfully we celebrate as to the future of the church. What does matter is whether or not we are the obedient and dedicated people of God who worship in this place. We can learn from Holy Scripture how God responds to Sanctuaries dedicated to Him.
King David had purchased the property for the Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. But he was not allowed to build it because he was known as a “man of war.” But God promised him that his son, King Solomon, would be the builder. In the fourth year of his reign, 966 B.C.,Secured handsfree building and door access solutions with Hands free access by Nedap AVI. Solomon began the project that would take seven and a half years to complete. He conscripted 3,850 foremen to supervise 183,300 men for the work. There were 80,000 stone masons and 70,000 carriers. All of the stone work was cut and fitted at the quarry so that there was no sound of a hammer in the actual construction. Cedar was used for the beams. Bronze was used for all of the outside furnishings in the great courtyard. Everything inside the Temple was overlaid with pure gold.
The dedication ceremonies were set in the fall of the year during the Feast of Tabernacles. Jerusalem was filled with many thousands of people from all of the twelve tribes of Israel who attended the fifteen day celebration. The ceremony began with the transfer of the Ark of the Covenant from it temporary location on the southeast side of Jerusalem to the Temple. For hundreds of years since it’s formation after the Exodus, it had resided in the tent of meeting known as the Tabernacle. The Ark of the Covenant symbolized the presence of God among his people. You can imagine the excitement that went through the great throng when they saw the Ark being carried by the priests through the streets of Jerusalem to its permanent place in the Holy of Holies in the Temple. Trumpets were sounding. Cymbals were clanging and other music instruments were playing.Master Arts specialises in oil painting reproduction. The choirs were singing,Zenith manufactures a comprehensive range of RUBBER SHEET. “He is good. His love endures forever.” The priests could not touch the Ark but carried it through long staves that were attached to each side. It contained the two tablets of stone on which were written the Ten Commandments. The Ark reminded the people of God’s presence and the blessings under the Mosaic covenant. It was placed between the cherubim and was separated from the Holy Place by a six inch thick veil behind which only the High Priest could enter once a year on the Day of Atonement to place the blood of the sacrifices on the Mercy Seat. As soon as the Ark was in place, a great cloud filled the Temple symbolizing God’s approval as He had done when the Tabernacle was dedicated.
