“After this I will return, And will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, Saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.”
Acts 15:16-17 KJV
This is what James spoke at the Jerusalem Council of Apostles, quoting the prophet Amos that ‘the Lord will return to the Jews and raise up the tabernacle of David that has fallen into ruin. The Lord will restore and rebuild what David experienced so that all of humanity will be able to encounter the Lord including the gentiles whom He has called to be His very own,’ says the Lord. The Tabernacle of David is the name given to the tent that King David set up on Mount Zion in Jerusalem to house the Ark of the Covenant. Although the high priest went only once a year to where the Ark of the Covenant was, now it was open to all to come and bring high praises and worship to the Lord. This was prophetic of the new order of Melchizedek that the Lord Jesus instituted under the new Covenant. A new way is opened for Jews and Gentiles to come boldly to the Mercy Seat of the Throne of Grace. Jesus, our High Priest, made the new way. Thank You Jesus!
