After worshippers have viewed the 7 Windows of the Slayers, returned to the Hall of Repentance to be cleansed, and entered the Hall of Slayers again, they are free to join believers from all over the world in worshipping ADONAI and Mashiach in the [Outer] Sanctuary. The doors to the [Outer] Sanctuary are square and wooden. They are large, heavy doors, seven feet wide each and fifteen feet tall. These two doors lead into the center aisle of the Sanctuary. Temple servants open the doors for worshippers, but there are small wheels on the bottom of the doors to make them easier to open. There are, however, two more sets of doors that may be accessed by worshippers. They are both about 40 feet from the main doors, to the right and left of the main doors. Theses doors are made similarly to the main wooden doors, but they are about half the size.
As worshippers enter the Sanctuary, they are immediately greeted by praises coming from a large choir in a loft above head, to the rear of the Sanctuary. Choirs and musicians come from all over the world to worship ADONAI in this temple in Yerushalayim. They enter the choir loft through the Northwest or Southwest Towers, which they entered from the Temple Servants Hallway on the second floor of the temple. The choir loft is built directly on top of the ceiling of the Hall of Slayers. From the choir loft, the choirs and musicians worship ADONAI and bless the worshippers present. All focus is on Mashiach, so the choirs and musicians are not seen during worship, but their sound comes forward from behind the worshippers, over head, creating a heavenly atmosphere.
The walls of the sanctuary are made of wood and they are from 250 ft. high tapering down to approximately 125 feet high in the Sanctuary. The light brown wood is carved to reflect cherubim worshipping Mashiach. There are three cherubim carved into the first part of the wall. These cherubim are singing praises, and one is above the other two, directly in the middle of them. Hence, each of these cherubim is approximately 100 feet tall. After these cherubim, there are nine others playing musical instruments: a golden shofar, a trumpet, a harp, a lyre, cymbals, a tambourine, a flute, bells and chimes. This scene—with 3 singing cherubim and 9 cherubim on instruments—is repeated exactly on both walls of the Sanctuary, with each cherub standing 100 ft. tall.
There are five aisles in the Sanctuary. The middle aisle is about 15 feet wide. The banners of the Nations are brought into the Sanctuary through the main door and carried into the Sanctuary down this main aisle in a procession to the worship area just before the bimah. The floor of the Sanctuary slants downward toward the bimah, so that all may see Mashiach in the bimah up front. The chairs in the Sanctuary are spaced out, so that all may worship. The front of the seating area is designated for elders and leaders of nations, and the worship area is full of dancers worshipping Mashiach—some with tambourines, others with flags, others with ribbons and some with elaborately designed worship attire, to honor ADONAI and Mashiach.
At the appointed time—known only to Him—a bright light begins to glow from the Most Holy Place through the stained glass window separating it from the [Outer] Sanctuary. Moments after the light has filled the [Outer] Sanctuary, Mashiach appears in the bimah. Some drop to the floor in awe, others brim with excitement creating an ever-increasing praise. The singers sing and the dancers dance, in worship of ADONAI. After communing in fellowship with us for a while, He speaks. His words, though simple, are eternal—filled with guidance about living a life devoted to ADONAI, raising families that honor Him, and leading nations that are committed to fulfilling His will in the earth. When He is concluded, worshippers sing and dance some more, with Him in the midst of the celebration. Finally, Mashiach leads the joyous procession from the [Outer] Sanctuary down to the first floor for fellowship. The temple servants are very careful to direct the cheerful crowd either down the stairs or into the elevators in small groups designated by them.
As worshippers enter the area designated for fellowship and communion with Mashiach and each other, they are greeted by temple servants and seated at banquet tables. The banquet tables are about 25 feet long each and about 5 feet wide, complete with beautiful dinnerware and cutlery that is the same throughout. There is no head table, no special seating, for everyone communes together in fellowship. Mashiach is not yet seen, as He is in the food preparation area tasting and testing, partly to commune with the temple servants in that area but also to insure that the portion of this worship experience for which He has waited for thousands of years is perfect. Once all the guests are seated, the temple servants enter with platters of food and place them on all of the tables with serving forks and spoons, so that everyone may enjoy the meal together. Finally, Mashiach enters the room with a loaf. He makes a b’rakhah (blessing) for all of the food and breaks the loaf, eating some and handing the rest to those near Him. Then, one of the temple servants hands Him a glass of wine. Again, looking toward heaven, He makes a b’rakhah, and everyone partakes of their wine. Now, the feast begins. He then walks throughout the room chatting and blessing, until He comes to an unoccupied seat in an obscure location, seating Himself among the assembly.
As fellowship continues, some people dance, some people sing, but all enjoy a blessed time with Mashiach and with each other. The praise dancers spend time teaching dances to everyone, so that we may all worship together. Mashiach joins in as ADONAI is lifted up. After a few hours, everyone leaves in high spirits and completely sober, having enjoyed a life-changing experience. Though worshippers may have to enter the foyer to retrieve their belongings, everyone exits the Temple through the doors on each side that open up just beside the lions. The temple servants direct the worshippers to exit this way, because no one leaves the Temple the same way they came in.
