When Moses came down from Mount Sinai after receiving the Ten Commandments from God a second time, he told the Israelites God’s instructions for the building of the tabernacle where the Ten Commandments would be placed.

“Everyone who is willing is to bring to the LORD an offering for the work on the tabernacle and for the sacred garments for the priests!”

The Israelites brought freewill offerings every day, giving thanks to God for forgiving their past sin of idolatry. Bezalel and Oholiab, whom God had filled with skill and ability in all kinds of crafts to make artistic designs for the tabernacle, left their work and said to Moses.

“The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD commanded to be done.”

Then Moses gave this order to the Israelites.

“No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.”

And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.

Prophetically, now is the age of the Feast of Tabernacles when the construction of the heavenly Jerusalem temple is being completed. The members throughout the world, who have received the Holy Spirit of the latter rain abundantly, are now continuously leading God’s children, who are represented as the spiritual materials for the temple, to Jerusalem Mother.

There is a time for everything. As the gospel of the kingdom of heaven is being preached to the whole world according to the prophecies which are being fulfilled amazingly fast, the time will soon come when no one can work.

Before the opportunity to receive blessings disappears, let us hurry to participate in the construction work of the heavenly temple, for the glory that will be given to those who lead many to righteousness and will shine bright like the stars forever and ever!
