          The Pattern of the Assembly of God   
      
      
   When they made the tabernacle, then the Lord was very   
   strictly with that they made everything according to the   
   pattern. "And look that thou make them after their pattern,   
   which was showed thee in the mount." Exodus 25:40.   
   Those who would carry out the work, they could not do it   
   by their own professional skill. They received a special   
   education through God's Spirit. Please, read Exodus   
   35:30-35, 36:1-2.   
      
   In Hebr. Chapters 8, 9 and 10, and in Col. 2:17 we see that   
   the old covenant and its tabernacle, the temple and laws   
   are only a shadow of the things that were to come. The Lord   
   was very strictly concerning the shadow picture, then he must   
   be still more strictly concerning the real temple - the   
   Assembly of God. Here human wisdom is not enough. Here   
   it demands the hidden wisdom which God ordained before   
   the world unto our glory. 1 Cor. 2:7. God will prepare his   
   people for works and service, so that the Temple of God may   
   be built up. Eph. 4:11-16.   
      
   Like as Moses and Solomon got patterns to follow, so it is also   
   a pattern for building up the real Temple of the Lord, the   
   Assembly of God. What is the pattern of the Temple of God?   
   It is all that the Bible teaches about the Body of Christ, God's   
   Temple or the Assembly of God. Rom. 6:17. (The New English   
   Bible).
