Josh 3:15-16  And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

Reve 4:1  After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne [were] four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, [were] four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

Exod 26:31-32  And thou shalt make a vail [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made: And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy [place] and the most holy.

2Cor 3:15-17  But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.



The Word of God shows us that there is a barrier between God's purpose or goal for mankind.
  And God wants us to pass this barrier. Why all these barriers God has before His purpose for us? In the temple, there was a barrier called a VEIL, and God's presence was behind that veil. Between your heart/mind and God's realm of the spiritual, there is a barrier, also. We need to break through this veil! Moses went on top of Mount Sinai in Exodus.
  He went into a cloud. YOUTH YEARS

Young people, too many christians do not enjoy the depths of God because when they were your age they did not realize the chance they had.

Why do you think the devil has so many things for youth? The preacher told us in my youth years, to not pay any attention to those who would whisper and chat in service while the preacher was preaching. Youth are old enough to get into the WORD.

John saw Heaven opened, and He saw this sea of glass between himself and the throne of God.

There is an unseen spiritual realm of glory for us from God. Notice God did not put a brick wall in the temple, but only a veil, to block man out. The things that are seen are the things the devil will try to get you infatuated with. Get mad at the devil. Multiply what? Mankind is supposed to be one huge ADAM filling the earth. That is why the Body of Christ must be in UNITY and love for one another, because that is the purpose of the BODY to begin with. Speaking of the barrier, Joshua and Caleb were right with God, but because the majority of the others were not, they had to stay outside the realm past the barrier with the rest of them. So we not only must get past the barrier, but we must get past it TOGETHER. After John saw Heaven and twenty four seats with elders on them, and four beasts, and the sea of glass keeping man from the throne of God (HEAVEN PRACTICALLY EMPTY) ... we read:
  Blood will get us past the barrier. And all of us were baptized into the death of Christ. God will work more powerfully when we are together with other believers than He will work when we are alone. In your YOUTH years do not form groups and cliques in the Church. Satan messed up the first Body by getting the people to be concerned with themselves rather than the purpose for the Body. We need to stop letting the devil split us up by getting us concerned over OURSELVES, and realize he'll use anything to split the BODY. "They said THIS to me and THAT." Past the veil means deeper experiences and life of spiritual growing. He gave us all the SAME SPIRIT. LET'S FILL THIS CITY WITH LIFE. You have to get over stress upon PERSONAL HURTS and PERSONAL ANYTHING, and start putting the BIGGER Kingdom of GOD FIRST!

"It has always been like this."

Because the WORK OF GOD REQUIRES UNITY. As a young person, if you can get concerned over being part of the BODY PURPOSE, and MATURE enough to see what God prioritizes above all else, then you will be so blessed of God.
