A Vision
For The Harvest
The year was 1979 and I was just three years into my life in Christ when I was given this vision of a worship center. At the time, I saw it as "through a glass darkly."
It was vague and without detail. I only knew that it was a "mountain" of a building with many rooms and a huge auditorium at its center. What I could see clearly was the power of God coming down from Heaven like a huge shaft of light, passing through its center skylight and pouring upon the people. But the vision was too large and too overwhelming for a young man just three years old in the Lord. The vision consumed me. I was unable to function responsibly. As a result, I came to the point that I had to tear it from my mind and let it die. It was a painful death and separation. It took about six months, but I finally returned to my responsibilities and everyday life. In fact, I did such a good job of dying to the vision that I totally, and completely, forgot about it for the next twenty years.
Two decades later, while rummaging through some old file folders, I came upon a faded polaroid photo of my first attempt at a model. It was a simple little pyramid-shaped form about 12 inches square made out of white cardstock& not much to look at but it reminded me of the vision once again. It didn't bother me like before so I shared the picture with my wife, Sheila. To my surprise, Instead of telling me that the idea was "pretty far out there," she said, "Let's pray and ask God for a confirmation.
Shortly after, the confirmations began coming - some quite supernaturally! That terrible, life-consuming vision was once again staring me right between the eyes! I told Sheila that I didn't want any part of it! I died to it once and I didn't ever want to go through that again. But God kept encouraging me through "rhema words" during my morning reading. And Sheila, a very pragmatic and practical woman was being moved by the Holy Spirit to give me encouragement and support. With some very remarkable confirmations, and the maturity of twenty years added to my life, I was left no option but to commit to it again and attempt to manifest a model of the vision.
In October of 2000, construction of the Mount Zion Worship Center model commenced. It would be a "learn-as-you-go" project because I had no training in architecture and had never built a model of a building before! Our custom homebuilding company, Galatian Homes,
hadn't even been conceived yet. In any event, without a clear idea of what the building was to look like, I began with the entry doors and the daunting task of creating a ½" scale model of a quarter-square mile building began. God was faithful, and filled me with invention and inspiration. In the same week that I began the project, the Lord revealed to me that the building was to be called "Mount Zion."
As the model progressed, the Lord would show me a new portion of the building design as each area was completed. Within a year, I could "see" the entire building and many of its architectural features. After nearly a year of 12-hour model construction days, the entire building had been revealed and a major portion of its design has been constructed. Among the many features of the MOUNT ZION WORSHIP CENTER is the "Tabernacle of David," recreated in actual size just behind and above the center platform. Prayer and praise chambers for intercessors and worshipers will be integrated into its design. Prayer and worship will take place 24 hours a day.
Four Identical Entrances
Mount Zion has four identical sides and entrances: (Zion East, Zion West, Zion North and Zion South). Each entrance, with its adjacent 1750 bridal chambers and suites (7,000 guest rooms in total), is approximately one-quarter of a mile wide and over fourteen stories tall.
Beneath its glass dome is a 70,000 seat auditorium with a mile of water falls and gardened walk paths around its perimeter. And above the platform is a life-size recreation of the Tabernacle of David. 10,000 (8' high) angels are manifest in pre-cast panels throughout the interior and exterior walls.
The Lord is preparing His "bride chamber" and calling forth His bride!
God made promises to those who would be ready as His bride - those who would be a part of the last days harvest. With that in mind, may I suggest that this magnificent place of worship could be the USA counterpart of the ultimate temple to be built in Jerusalem. Mount Zion Worship Center would serve to prepare His bride - worldwide! And just as the USA is found in the heart of JER-USA-LEM, so might this magnificent place of worship be found in the heart of the United States of America.
Scriptures which have come to light in the process of building this model of the Mount Zion Worship Center:
"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." (Micah 4:1,2)
"In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old." ( Amos 9:11)
"And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them." (Isaiah 42:16)
"Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east; and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled&" (Isaiah 43: 1-9)
"Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise (wise virgins) shall understand." (Daniel 12:10)
I submit the vision and this important message from the Father for your consideration: - David
"FIND THE CONNECTION... because the connection is there. I have laid in front of you, very close to you, many opportunities for you to receive My blessings. I have blessings for all of you, which will come from remote places, from diverse places. I have set a plan. I have put steps before you to climb, from which you could reach, from which you will be able to do things you were not able to do before.
And this is Me talking. It is Me, the Father of Creation. I have decided to tell you these things. It is up to you, of course, to decide to obey, to work, to search, to ponder and find My will. There are many opportunities to receive My blessings. There are many needs to fulfill. There are many doors to open. There are many connections to make. You enjoy many blessings in this country, and I need you to share them constantly. Many things are happening and will continue happening. I need all My children working for all My children. Unity among brothers, among countries, among every child of Mine -- here, there and everywhere. Find the connection."
