The Holy Spirit fills Bezalel with His Presence and with the wisdom, understanding, knowledge, skills, and ability to design and to teach others to perform all of these tasks. Bezalel was already a skilled craftsman, but God made sure that he had all the skills needed to be the one who superintended all of the workmanship done by many members of the tribe.
God not only allowed the Israelites to have acquired all of the metals before leaving Egypt, but also supplied the wood and badgers from the wilderness and the goats and rams from their flocks, but also supernaturally supplied the skills and abilities to design, plan, teach, and execute the making of all the things for the tabernacle, tent of meeting, and priestly garments.
This work seems to be quite monumental in scope. I wonder how long it took to complete everything? But I guess that there were over a million people, so with most of them doing tasks, it may have not taken very long. It is interesting that it seems that the Israelites were all of one mind and heart in this endeavor. This work must have been very unifying for them. A hands-on, practical way to work in one accord for the sake of YHWH. So much different than their work on the golden calf! God did not supernaturally help them with that! But with this work, He did give them over and above what they knew to do.
This reminds me that when we are called to a certain aspect of ministry, it is amazing how God brings out of us so much more than what we normally possessed prior to this ministry. So glad He does this.
This chapter opens with Moses instructing the Israelites in the words YHWH commanded them to do. The first command concerns the Sabbath-work 6 days and rest from work on the 7th, even kindling a fire. This 7th day is considered a holy day, not a "goof off" day. They are to rest "to the LORD" I wonder what that means? Those who break the Sabbath command are to be put to death. With such a dire punishment, it must have driven home to the Israelites the need to take God's commands seriously and soberly. Would they be willing to put to death those who broke the Sabbath rest?
Next, Moses speaks of the offering for the Tabernacle. It was to be given from a willing heart. The people were asked to give their silver, gold, and bronze. These were likely objects made with these metals. I am sure they did not have stashes of bars of these metals. Most likely, many of these objects were household idols brought from Egypt. Would they be willing to give up these idols for YHWH? They were asked to bring blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats hair. Also, ram's skins dyed red, and badger skins. They were to bring acacia wood (which grew natively in this wilderness). And oil and spices were for light, incense, and anointing oil. Also, onyx stones and all the stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. All of these items were described and their uses explained to Moses on the mountain beforehand.
Next, Moses called on all who were gifted artisans to come forward and use their skills to make from these supplies what God had shown Moses on the mountain for the tabernacle, its tent, and court. Also, the garments for the Aaron and his sons, the priests.
Everyone departed from Moses and gathered up what they were to freely bring to Moses for these things. It says that those whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were willing. Here the Holy Spirit is working in these people and they followed Him.
The cross was fashioned from a tree. So Jesus became " accursed " of God for us so that through his sacrifice we may become blessed of God
As for Polygamy it is not encouraged. A wife of the wives may be hated and thus becomes the root of strife and bitterness which spills over to the children and generations unborn. So if having more than one wife breeds hatred why embrace polygamy?
You asked "Does this mean everyone in Heaven will be tempted one last time and maybe even loose our salvation?" This won't be in heaven, it will be here on earth after the tribulation.
The Church will be raptured up before the tribulation.
You have this account here in Revelation 20:7-8 "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
AND SHALL GO OUT TO DECEIVE "THE NATIONS WHICH ARE IN THE FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH, " Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
( The Church is a people called out of the nations.)
Therefore we are not identified as "THE NATIONS "
1 Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
I believe the Millennium is a final test/temptation on the "HEART" of Man. Under a 1000 years of perfect conditions and governing when given the chance man turns his back on God again.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and Incurably wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9.
If Revelations is a book of PROPHECY and Jesus is telling John what to write, why would the woman be Mary having Jesus? Makes more sense to be the church.
When the Lord is differentiating between Lily's of the field not toiling when they grow--in contrast to perhaps other lilies (because there are water lilies as well), the Lord also says, they don't spin.
What is the actual meaning of this word in context to the rest of the Scripture verse?
I have noticed that water lilies have a sort of cork screw vine that does have the appearance of a coiling process in its birth to the surface of the pond. It kind of reminds me of a babies natural, physical movement in the birth canal. The baby does turn--essentially it does spin or turn like a cork
screw.
What is the Lord telling us when He says that the Lily does not spin?
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Esau Sold His Birthright to Jacob, because it held no Value to Him. What We miss is this, This is a Well to Do Family, and Nobody is Going to Starve or Faint or Collapse from lack of Food. Food could be Summoned ,,just like that by Servants. The Birthright also Carried More Responsibility than Esau wanted to Carry. He saw a Easy Out,, and then later on, He could hold it over His Brother. If You are left let's Say,, a Car that You care absolutely nothing about. And Someone Else, says , Hey I can take that Off Your Hands, how much do You want for it? And then Later on, You feel Resentment at that Person, because Time has went by and now You Realize the Value of it now. That's Exactly what Esau did with Jacob, as Time went on, He saw the Value of His Birthright, and became Bitter against Jacob. This is Our Nature, We see as a Whole , Someone being Successful with Something We Struggled with and it Makes Us Frustrated, Envious and even like Esau,, Hostile. But God has a Plan, and Always Remember that All Who Call Upon The Name of the Lord shall be Saved.
Hello believers, in looking at John 4:23 and Hebrews 13:15 why do you suppose God wants us to praise and worship Him? Not everyone is blessed with a pleasing singing voice, so I wouldn't think this is simply for Him to hear pleasing sounds :)
I'm sure God is 100% secure and doesn't need our love or validation whatsoever so I'm wondering what the purpose of these commands are? ( Exodus 34:14 doesn't seem to offer much support for this, however. )
3batches of 14 generations=42 generations, with Jesus being number 42(implied). But counting the generators puts Jesus as no. 41 NOT. 42(count the generators and see Jesus as no.41)
THERE'S a MISSING GENERATOR!Who is the missing generator?
My claim is that, because each member of the church is directed to REACH ONE TO ADD TO THE BODY OF CHRIST.WE ARE THE MISSING GENERATION!..Each one REACH ONE.This makes sense further since many single believers can't be a generator due to their singleness!
What say you to this missing generator must be included to get the 42 generators?
I ask if you would please read Rev:16,17,18. then research: Mud Fossil University. (Dragons). New York City may be the new Babilon. And the Beast or Beasts is real. Can you confirm? What do you think? Please comment. Thank you.
Why does Jesus speak in parables? Why doesn't He speak plainly concerning the things concerning salvation. Who is He speaking too?
While serving in the military, certain were chosen to go out on recon mission's, discovering the places of the enemy, determined to find out there size, their weaknesses. Even so those who were involved knew the consequences of revealing those things that concern the welfare of our fellow brother and sisters. That moving upon the enemy would require a grace that would involve warfare , a warfare we would prefer, without firing a shot.
These were the conditions, we found ourselves in.
Provocation almost always would lead into a fight that would leave many hurt, and killed!
The art of warfare is left to those who know! Those who have experienced the effects of such warfare!
Jesus spoke in parables so we might see, and understand in a way that allows freedom according to our faith. Our faith in life, a faith allowing the Holy Spirit to guide and direct into those things that concern the spiritual warfare that is before us. Saving souls from hell and death, that is sure to come upon those who do not believe the things of salvation.
This is in a sense the "recon sense" we need to fight the enemy. The spiritual direction in knowing what to say and when to say it! This is what grace is! The grace we need to fight against the spiritual darkness, who's mission is to destroy the truth concerning Christ and His redemption for mankind!
Parables are Gods way of revealing the truths, while the enemy looks on in dismay! The enemy cannot stand the Holy Spirit, He has no weapon against it! He cannot fight against it, without revealing his position!

This is not the Church, we're given a new heart.
God bless.
Does this just apply to the "Jews" or to any "believer"??
I always found comfort in this verse, but maybe it doesn't apply to me. :(
What is the actual meaning of this word in context to the rest of the Scripture verse?

What is this about an Angel called Jesus?
Is someone messing with our Bible?
Does anyone have an old KJV to check?
