2Chr 30:1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel.

This account of Hezekiah's call to come to the House of the LORD points and speaks to the last days; it speaks to us now. The Spirit of God in Hezekiah ushers the call to come to the House of the LORD and the Spirit of God in His last days saints ushers the same. We not only call people out of; out of sin, out of the dead church of man, out of Babylon etc but into; into Christ and into His body the Church.

See the spirit of the call to come to the house of the LORD in Isaiah's prophecy.

1) Isaiah 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

Isaiah 2:2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

Isaiah 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.


2) Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

Isaiah 60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Isaiah 60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Isaiah 60:4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at [thy] side.

Isaiah 60:5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

Read Isaiah 2, Read Isaiah 60

Come to the House of the LORD

In the next few days we will be looking at the relation between the coming to the House of the LORD/the Temple of God/the Body of Christ/the Church/City of the Lord and keeping the Passover/Fellowship/Communion. It is a vast and deep subject. We will but scratch the surface. 

Today we will begin to establish the New Covenant understanding of the House of the Lord. In short, if you are a regenerated saint of God through faith in Jesus Christ, born not of man, nor of the flesh, but of God, then you are the House of the LORD along with your brothers and sisters. Today's devotional reading will be passages showing us this truth.

Here is an example of why the King James bible is so valuable. It says,""YE" are the temple God". "Ye" is plural. Other translation say "you". It is not grammatically clear who the "you" is whether it be plural or singular. When the King James Bible uses the word "ye" you can be absolutely sure that it is plural.
