in the place He shall choose.
If you study Ezekiel, you will find that the Spirit of God left the temple (and Jerusalem).
A little study of Acts chapter 2 might be in order as well.
Hope this helps.
Right.
Now to the 'why'.
Because a New Covenant, based on better promises, had been ratified by the Blood of Christ, Who also serves as the New Covenant's permanent, Perfect High Priest - FOREVER.
The Old Covenant is obsolete as a functioning covenantal system.
You are not keeping the Law as God gave it, but a law of your own creation.
If you are in Christ, you DIED to the Law:
Romans 7:4-6
4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. 6 But now we have been >>> delivered G2673 – katargeō<<< from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
G2673 – katargeō is translated as both ‘abolished’ in Eph. 2:15 and as ‘delivered’ in Rom. 7:6.
Here’s the definition:
a) to cause a person or thing to have no further efficiency
b) to deprive of force, influence, power
b) to deprive of force, influence, power
2) to cause to cease, put an end to, do away with, annul, abolish
a) to cease, to pass away, be done away
b) to be severed from, separated from, discharged from, loosed from any one
c) to terminate all intercourse with one
b) to be severed from, separated from, discharged from, loosed from any one
c) to terminate all intercourse with one
That’s talking about the Law for those in Christ, folks!
The Law, for those in Christ, is these things:
➞ idle
➞ unemployed
➞ inactive (!!!)
➞ inoperative (!!!)
➞ to cause a person to have no further efficiency
➞ to deprive of force, influence, power (!!!)
➞ to cause to cease, put an end to, do away with, annul, abolish (!!!)
➞ to cease, to pass away, be done away (!!!)
➞ to be severed from, separated from, discharged from, loosed from any one (!!!)
➞ to terminate all intercourse with one (!!!)
➞ unemployed
➞ inactive (!!!)
➞ inoperative (!!!)
➞ to cause a person to have no further efficiency
➞ to deprive of force, influence, power (!!!)
➞ to cause to cease, put an end to, do away with, annul, abolish (!!!)
➞ to cease, to pass away, be done away (!!!)
➞ to be severed from, separated from, discharged from, loosed from any one (!!!)
➞ to terminate all intercourse with one (!!!)
Please reconsider your relationship to the Law based on what the Scriptures say after the Work of Christ.
