Currently, our redeemer and sanctifier is rebuilding his spiritual temple, and this book is designed to equip the bride with the necessary tools to colabor with her bridegroom in that effort. Nehemiah, Ze-rub'-ba-bel and Ezra foreshadowed this event. Nehemiah restored the altar and wall. - The altar symbolized repentance to receive God's favor and protection. - The wall symbolized intercession. Ze-rub'-ba-bel (lineage of King David and a type of Christ) restored the foundation and erected the temple. - The foundation symbolized restoration of the apostles' doctrine. - The temple structure symbolized realignment (proper placement of its members) and rising of the church. Ezra, priest and scribe, restored the word after the purification of the Levities and priests. - The word symbolized cleansing and strengthening of the church; and - Evangelizing the world. THE KINGDOM-Holiness unto the Lord carries a prophetic anointing. ERNESTINE CAMERON is a forgiven child of God and through the sanctifying work of the bridegroom, she became an empty vessel; hence, this work. Therefore, the true author is the Holy Spirit. He glorifies Christ. He intercedes. He teaches. He gives gifts. He convicts. He reveals. He keeps us from falling and presents us faultless. He speaks through vessels. He gives boldness. He gives power. He seals. He revives. He inspires. We are his body; consequently, "...we have this treasure [Holy Spirit] in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us" 2 Corinthians 4:7.
