Pg 3
Noted temples of significance, whether they be majestic or humble. These temples are important, and yet God said He did not live in temples made with man's hands. Yet He provides places for them to worship.
Exodus 26:1
Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.
When you believe [the Gospel truth] together and unite and the groups of people begin to come together in the power of the Spirit then the Lord will come down! Because He doesn't dwell in a divided house. He dwells in one that's united! That is the very pattern He comes in. He's united and powerful!
Cherubims in the Bible is a form of an angel. Mysterious, but yet, an angel that stands before the throne or around the throne -- the lower throne, and says 'Holy, holy, holy' to the Lord God. And the seraphim above Him says "holy, holy, holy the Lord God' back to him! One echoes back to the other!
Seven Temples that the Lord God allowed men to build:
-
Hidden Temple - The Great Pyramid -- Isaiah 19:19
-
Built 2623 BC (1377 years after the fall of Adam)
-
The Capstone was left off
-
Pg 21 Now there's a hidden Temple, you remember, there's no Temple like it in the world! On this Temple there are divine pictures of the Lord. The capstone is not on that pyramid in Egypt. It's a wonder of the world! There's nothing like it on the face of the earth. It's the only one of the ancient wonders still standing in the capacity - it withstood everything.
-
During the time it was built, there was no way possible they could see, only by supernatural way, they could have built it -- and God Himself had to have something to do with it. The intelligence and the knowledge which was placed there..a hidden temple.
-
Isaiah 19:19-20 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
-
The top of it the capstone was missing -- because the stone the builders rejected shall become the head of the corner!
-
God prophesied with the great rock that a magnificent, powerful thing would come from the Living God and He would join Himself to it and His people would be joined to Him the body to the Head and the Lord would bless them and nourish them and feed them by His Spirit. They would be children of the Lord and do supernatural exploits! Paul said they're joined to the Head -- Peter said, the Chiefstone, Jesus said, the Headstone, the Psalmist said, that Great Rock -- lead me to it, that stone spake to me, the Rock of Israel talked to me, the Rock of my salvation -- the Living God! Daniel saw a vision of it, I saw the Lord! The headstone that was left off prophesies it was to be rejected when Jesus came. But later, a group of people would receive it and that would be according to the Scriptures here, that it's called in the Bible, meaning Christ. You remember, they didn't complete it on the giant pyramid. Because they were going to reject the Headstone, so the Lord left it off.
-
But to this day, this here right here -- the capstone here, the way God laid it out -- it's symbolic of His last great work upon the earth. His headstone face joined to the temple, He's found a resting place, He told me on night -- He will be received.

-
Tabernacle of the Lord - Exodus 26
-
Builders: Moses and Aaron, and the children of Israel
-
Time: 1332 BC - 1292 BC (after the exodus and before the death of Moses)
-
Pg 4; The first humble tabernacle was like a tent and within it was the ark and then the most holy place where the priest went and the prophet (Moses)! It was humble, it was an ark hidden over curtains that the children of Israel carried about over the land and God would come down on it in a cloud and a fire would descend and He's speak and He'd talk. No matter how humble it was, He was there! He wasn't in Egypt where Pharaoh's great kingdom was. He was on the desert -- out in the wilderness with His people! It wasn't just a little ark with a tent over it, it was the glories of heaven, the Immortal God settled with them!
-
-
Majestic Temple of Solomon - 1 Kings 7 & 8
-
Builder: King Solomon
-
Time: Pre-captivity 856 BC to 816 BC (about 476 years after the Tabernacle Tent)
-
Pg 5; It was the height of greatness for Israel and later to be their shame. They rose so high, they reached a height, an epic, before they apostatized. It was finality for Israel at that time. This Temple is the pre-captivity Temple. They had prosperred, He had blessed them in the land of milk and honey. While they were serving the Lord and His power was there on one hand, they were right the opposite when they left. And finally the Lord warned them and even Solomon, He warned him in dreams and He told him what would happen and they apostatized and iniquity was found in them. Solomon began to mix with various different kinds of women and with their idols that they brought in. And it was abomination! Always those idols bring on an abomination and the earth is rent and earth quakes and fire falls! The Lord warned them, and He told them they would be plundered and taken away.
-
Pg 7; Israel was split and they went into captivity and God carried them away and the Temple was perishing from their sight.
-
-
"Second" Temple Ezra 1
-
Builders: Zerubbabel and his brethren
-
Time: Post-captivity (70 years of captivity) 369 BC to 358 BC (about 487 years after Solomon's Temple)
-
Pg 7; God made it hard this time. There weren't riches, there weren't finances, there wasn't prosperity. They had to do it just from standing there nearly and what they could scrape together. He made it hard on them. They went back to build their Temple (third one). They were fought day and night! The enemy fought them, 'cause Satan knew if Israel did get back in its position that he was going to lose out.
-
After they completed the foundation and got the building up the people began to get happy in joy and then they began to weep. They remembered how beautiful Solomon's Temple was and how magnificent and how powerful it was! And all the glories that were in there! This temple was inferior and a small temple compared to the great Solomon Temple. It was, sort of, to them no near what they could have had.
-
Pg 8; An then the Jews began to mix with Gentiles, and they began to apostatize even before Ezra the Scribe got to the Temple - he was the priest to go there.
-
Editor's Note: Built in Jerusalem to replace Solomon’s Temple (which was destroyed by the Babylonians). This temple was heavily renovated by Herod the Great centuries later and eventually destroyed by the Romans in 70AD.
-
-
Herod's Temple
-
Destroyed in 70 AD
-
Pg 9 Built [renovated] at the time Jesus was born. Although sinful men built the Temple, the Bible said that the Lord accepted it as a place of worship. Jesus went into the Temple and took the book of Isaiah -- He even ministered in the Temple! In fact, He corrected them in the Temple! He called it, My house -- My Father's house shall not be a den of thieves. Herod built it for the Jews and they turned it into a den of thieves and Jesus corrected them. When He first began to come, when He was born, coming through with Mary on the mule, she could see the white, dazzling walls begin to arise as she began to come in. The Temple was just going up just before Jesus was born, when she entered into Jerusalem. It wasn't quite finished yet, about the time she was carrying Jesus.
-
You see, when Jesus entered the city, the Temple -- they had begun process on that Temple when He was coming the first time. He was almost ready to be born and right now the man-child is almost ready to be born -- and they'll start laying the foundation to that Temple. It won't be too long that the Jews will build their (third) Temple, and the Messiah will take His people (Bride) away and return to the real Jews [Israelites]!
-
Pg 10. There's the two women that were pregnant and there's the two cases in the Bible. The man-child -- Revelation 12:5 and back in the days when Mary came to have Jesus when He was born. There it is!
-
Now at the end of time when they build the temple -- there'll be a covenant made, whether it's secret or what at first, no one knows. and the anti-christ, he won't look like the anti-christ. He'll be a man who will do many things for all people they will think he is a reasonable man, a champion, that he is going to help everyone and he is going to prosper the whole world.
-
At first they don't know who he is, and he'll make the covenant with the Jews, it said, for seven years and in the midst of this he will break that covenant and the other Jews will flee into the mountains where they will be protected three and a half years.
-
But the covenant is made at the seven year period of time and he reveals himself and takes off his mask. But the Bride is gone -- when he unmasks himself. But we usher into the first quarter or first part of that, and then the forty-two months on the face of the earth, as we were talking about going into the trumpets and into the plagues -- then that begins to take place. But the first-fruits, the elect are gone at that point.
-
This anti-christ that will come to those Jews and make that covenant and then he will break it and they'll know then -- the world. It'll be too late, the mark of the beast will begin to set in! Just before the mark there is a possibility the elect of God will be here when they just about a putting the pressure on and could even stop preaching -- could for a moment stop some of the preaching that's going on. But it won't be long til Jesus will say -- Come up hither. they won't touch her! We know this -- it's THUS SAITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST -- Praise the Lord!
-
-
"Third" [Tribulation] Temple -- Revelation 11:1-2
-
Built during the 7 year covenant with the anti-christ
-
Revelation 11:1-2 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
-
Pg 14; Now there are forty-two months left when that Jewish Temple is completed and the anti-christ comes there. The Gentiles are now standing back and there are forty-two months. Now the anti-christ will rise during that Tribulation time -- the seven year covenant. It will be a magnificent Temple no doubt. They're reaching a height again of prosperity in there with the anti-christ.
-
There'll be 144,000 that won't move. You couldn't move them! Adolf couldn't move them! Alexander the Great wouldn't be able to move them! Napoleon wouldn't be able to do anything with them -- and no one will move those 144,000 Israelites who are in there, sealed by the Living God! They'll not go for the anti-christ!
-
The real seed of God will listen to their prophets -- that's when you know they're from the seed of God! They will listen to the prophet that God sends or at the time when He sends one -- then those will be God's people.
-
-
Millennial Temple -- Ezekiel 40 - 43
-
Built after Armageddon (Not the Holy City from heaven)
-
Zechariah 14:16-21 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalemshall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles 17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
-
-
Holy City Tabernacle from heaven -- Revelation 21
-
After the 1,000 year millennium, after Satan has been put in the lake of fire, this is the final state
-
Pg 15; Revelation 21:1-3 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
-
The crystal city is coming down -- God's plan is over with! Redemption has been made all through the dispensations of man from the time of Adam and Eve right on out to the holy city! God is Eternal! The Lord is beyond time, He created time! There is no time with God! He's immortal!
-
Revelation 21:4-6 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
-
Pg 15
There is the precise pattern. Short dispensation temples, pre-captivity, post-captivity, right straight on down the line, right on out. There's the Lord in His temples!
Now the Gentiles -- right at the end the Lord has something for His people. There is to be a temple [Capstone Cathedral] in the wilderness and God will come to His people. You watch and see -- There is to be a Gentile Temple. It will be to symbolize -- it will be a point where God will reveal His signs that the earth is come up before Him and by signs and wonders and by the Word of God and by miracles - He will warn the time of the end is near!
Now the Bride won't necessarily have to just rapture from here -- but it will spread out, it will be a point, it will be a type of symbol. It will be a type of leadership, the Lord will show what He wants and it will be done. And of course people who are being blessed all over the world, to the bride that's preaching to them, they will go up where ever they're at.
Pg 16; This Temple, the pyramid, the foursquare, the symbolism, the type of Chrubic lights, all of the things -- the wings and the shadows and the wings that overspread it and the way it comes down to the ground in stone and the way the ridges are that run above it -- it's perfect in the plans of the Lord!
This Temple, "in God's heart in the beginning, this is the way He wanted it -- He wanted His people to believe this way!" He wanted His people to believe on Him and the Word of God! But He couldn't give it to them this way, so they had to go through 6,000 years. Neither the Jew nor the Gentile was ready for this! But now at the end time, the Gentile with this Temple, out of the Jewish reckoning, has built a Temple unto the Gentiles.
Now I'm (Bro Frisby) just a man and I'm just an evangelist, but the Immortal God and His cloud is over the Temple and His fire is around the Temple and His cloud is over the Temple many times. The lights appear and the glories of the Lord, you can see them rolling and snap them in photographs -- "right on the outside like clouds different ways that they come."
This is Capstone -- the Gentile Temple -- Capstone! The Lord's church in the wilderness, the house of the elect man-child, the Temple with the thunders of God in them, the seven anointings!
