A PILLAR IN THE TEMPLE
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall
go no more out.” (Revelation 3:12)
A pillar is one who supports, bears the load without wavering, always stedfast,
faithful. There is a place in God where we are “stedfast, unmoveable”, (I
Corinthians 15:58), “being rooted and grounded in love”, (Ephesians 3:17).
God is establishing His pillars, and upon them He shall build His kingdom in the
days ahead. The process of producing OVERCOMERS results in receiving those who
do gain the victory, and thus qualify for becoming His “pillar and ground of the
truth”, (I Tim. 3:15), from whence the kingdom shall arise. Settled in Christ
they are not blown about by every wind of doctrine. Founded upon the Rock they
need not run to and fro, to seek Christ in the desert or in the far city. He
dwells within them, and they dwell in Him.
“All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when He
lifteth up an ensign on the mountains,” (Isa. 18:3). God’s ensign, His pillar
and ground of the truth, shall not be pointing in first one direction, and then
with a change of mind point in another direction. These shall KNOW THEIR GOD,
and they shall consistently point men to HIM. Their lives shall be a solid,
living declaration of truth. Their state of being shall challenge men and women
to right-ness.
The opposite of this elect company is found in Proverbs 5:6, which well
describes the religious harlot systems of Babylon, “Lest thou shouldest ponder
the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them”.
Moveable ways! Nothing stable. As the waves of the sea, driven and tossed,
double minded in all their ways. Trying to serve God and the flesh at the same
time, it is utter con-fusion.
But the “pillars” whom the Lord is preparing “know in Whom they have believed”,
thus changing circumstances do not alter their standing. Trials and testings do
not dim their vision. HE IS, and they are IN HIM.
