What’s up there? What’s going on?
This is a video I made today while in the park on Sabbath. It’s a message about the sanctuary of God, the one he commanded Moses to make that was made after the true Tabernacle in heaven. Why did God do that and what is he doing in his holy Temple? Why should it matter Continue reading
