Isaiah 52:11-12
Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure, you who carry the articles of the LORD's house. But you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the LORD will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
You who carry the articles of the LORD, what articles? Who are they? What unclean thing? How do one come out of this and be pure unto the LORD? Come out from where? How do one become pure?First, the "articles". Are you called and chosen to be faithful to the LORD in bearing or carrying the divine nature of Christ within you? Come out from obeying and serving the sinful nature of the Devil in you. You are unclean before the LORD as long as you obey and serve the desires and wants of the sinful nature of the Devil in you. You can't put to death in haste or be in flight from it. That would mean, you won't be able to do it on your own strength. You have to depend on God the Holy Spirit to put to death the sinful nature of the Devil in you. The LORD Himself who is the Good Shepherd will go before you and lead you, if you will obey His voice. He will even protect you till you completely put to death the sinful nature of the Devil in you. His promise is, no harm can befall you, if you do that. Now is your time to do this before it's too late.
The articles in the ark of the covenant, who or what do they represent? They represent the different parts of the divine nature of Christ. The ark of the covenant represents the born again spirit today. That's what the ark of the covenant must be filled with, the complete divine nature of Christ. The articles in the tabernacle of the LORD, what do they represent? Also the divine nature of Christ. So, what does God require of you today? Yes, to be filled with the whole divine nature of Christ.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial ? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." Therefore, "Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." And, "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
