A Dwelling Place for God - by Pastor Doug Riggs
by John Mark on 05/26/24
This
message was originally recorded February 15, 2015.
My
notes:
A
house is where one's name can be found. The name represents the character and
nature of that person who has that name. King David wanted to build a house
where the Name of Yahweh could dwell, where people could experience and have a
connection to the character and nature of the God of Israel. In this church
age, Jesus is building the church where that Name of Yahweh can find its home,
its expression, its place to manifest the nature and character of God in the
presence of man and the angelic realm. In the age to come, that dwelling place
for God will consist of the Holy of Holies (the church, the innermost
sanctuary), the Holy Place (Israel), and the outer court (the nations).
"What attracts the attention of God? That which is dedicated for the Name
to have a dwelling place, and thus a manifestation among the nations."
Doug
reads and comments on the scriptures that speak of our bodies being the temple
(inner shrine; Holy of Holies) of the Holy Spirit. "Jesus's body, His
temple, is the presence of God; now the church, by membership, is an extension
of that body - living, organic membership." So, individually and
corporately expressed locally, "You're the innermost shrine; you're the
extension of Jesus Christ; you're a member of the Messiah... the place where
the Shekinah glory dwells."
Doug
then talks about the fact there will be a pre-tribulation rapture. However,
unlike many who believe all will be nice and peaceful and at any minute now
Jesus will come for the church - and then things will get really bad, i.e.: the
Tribulation, he warns, "Before the rapture occurs, it's gonna get really,
really bad. It's gonna be such that believers are gonna actually think that
they're in the day of the Lord. It's gonna be that bad." Doug has often
taught us, "There'll be a remnant that will be on the earth in those days
that will represent a bride without spot nor wrinkle prior to the
rapture."
"I
can empathize with those that are fed up with the Laodicean sleeping church,
and therefore conclude that we must have a purging... but you don't have to
change your eschatology to have a cleansed church. All you have to understand
is that 'judgment begins at the household of God.' The church will have its own
purging and tribulation before Israel and the nations... BEFORE... And when
that comes, people will be interpreting it as the day of the Lord - and it's
not."
Due
to what Doug learned over the years of working with Christian survivors of SRA
with generational DID who held the highest places in the Luciferian cult, he
made this shocking statement: "The antichrist will be enthroned in the
church, the very temple of God." You may want to listen to Generational
SRA/DID and the Replication of Satan's Throne in the Body of Christ
(https://www.dougriggs.org/Generational_SRA_-_DID_and_Satan_s_Throne.mp3) and
read The Luciferian Kingdomization of Christians (pdf - Lori’s
notes taken at a SRA/DID seminar). "Antichrist is in the body of Christ,
and he is right there attached to the innermost sanctuary, the inner man, then
new birth identity." Doug warns, "Your church that has any semblance
of salt and light, antichrist is in your midst... Your church is infiltrated,
pastors!" "You claim to be a servant of God, are you willing to get
antichrist out of your midst? Then you will deal with SRA-DID in your
midst."
"Antichrist
will be expelled from the church. How do we know. Because he's going to occupy
the physical naos [in the rebuilt temple] in the day of the Lord, the
tribulation."
Doug
challenges pastors who know nothing of the satanic strategy to infiltrate the
church with those who are generational SRA survivors and the need to take
action. "You got these people in your midst; it's an assignment, it's a
Kingdom assignment. It's not subordinate to what you're doing... to your
vision. It's priority. ...I'm looking for those pastors who really are ready to
mean business with the Lord and are willing to die; to be going into a pit with
a lion on a snowy day, and saying, 'God, I'm not coming out until the lion is
slain.'"
Doug
refers to "the executive position of a believer who actually believes the
word of God that says, 'seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6)';
'co-enthroned with Him'. Well, if you're co-enthroned with Him, what are you
doing there? Are you executing the judgments written (Psalm 149)? What are you
doing? ... singing your little choruses in church; sitting there listing to a
twenty-minute sermon watching your watch? If you're sitting in a church where
it's a twenty-minute sermonette, you need to get out of that church, and you
need to find out where God wants you to be where you can hear the word of God
with enough continuity, enough content where you can come into the mind of God
and begin functioning in the manner and way which represents a divinely
prepared remnant in these last days."
