Feel free to skip this portion and jump straight into Chapter One if you so wish. Years ago God called me into the ministry with a twofold purpose and over the years on various platforms I have received prophetic words that have confirmed this dual nature of my calling which is, teaching the Gospel and funding the work of the Kingdom of God. However for years I struggled to reconcile these apparently divergent callings until I got to understand the concept of bi-vocational ministry. My understanding of a bi-vocational minister was a pulpit minister who was not employed on a full-time basis by a Church to preach the Gospel. This minister would not necessarily be sustained from the altar in terms of her income as she ran her own businesses, which sustained her. I had challenges understanding the biblical basis of bi-vocational ministry (not that this does not exist, but only that I could not wrap my mind around it). Then I was sold onto the message of the Kingdom and especially its reformational aspect. How the Kingdom of God should impact society and nations. The Kingdom mandate of Pastor Tom Deuschle clearly made sense of my call and place in ministry. But I was still looking for a theological framework that would give comprehensive meaning and the practical outworkings of this dual calling. I heard about the call to disciple nations. Landa Cope’s seminal work “An Introduction to the Old 4 The Tabernacle of David: The Key to Discipling Communities and Nations Testament Template: Rediscovering God's Principles for Discipling Nations” shaped my initial thoughts on national discipleship. Darrow L. Miller’s Discipling Nations, introduced me to the concept of worldviews and their impact on believers. I have often thought hard and long about the core mandate of the Church. I read widely on the Dominion mandate with the mindset of a practitioner and not a theorist. Some of the key influencers of my thinking processes were Dr. Mensa Otabil and Dr. Myles Munroe. I read Dutch Sheets’ classic work “Intercessory Prayer” in which he clearly showed that intercession is both a work and a prayer. Later I was introduced to the Seven Mountains Strategy through Dr. Lance Wallnau. This made sense of what I was sensing in my heart. I thrust myself into reading and researching on this concept. However while I bought into the strategy I was not seeing how it could be operationalized. Maybe I was too slow of heart, or possibly I was simply not ready for the revelation. A few years later I sat under the teaching of Dr. Francis Myles on the Order of Melchizedek. I was thoroughly impressed by the revelation. I believe that he has put his finger on some very powerful framework that organizes the whole of Scripture. Slowly a thought began to crystalize in my mind. The restoration of the priesthood of Melchizedek requires a new tabernacle within which to minister. This calls for the restoration of the Tabernacle of David. I realized how the Tabernacle of David, the Order of Melchizedek, the Dominion Mandate and the concept of Worldviews all fit together in the fulfillment of the call to Disciple Nations based on a dual call of king and priest. I researched how competing worldviews (or belief systems) discipled cultures. All of a sudden my dual calling made sense! In this book I present the Tabernacle of David as a key to release kings and priests to disciple nations. I position this understanding in the light of the High 5 The Tabernacle of David: The Key to Discipling Communities and Nations Priesthood of Jesus Christ. I also place the whole revelation within the context of the Abrahamic covenant. I challenge kings and priests to lean and depend on God’s grace and not on their intellect. No work of this magnitude is accomplished without exceptional help from others. I express my gratitude to i) Bertha Masvingwa for transcribing some material used for this book, ii) Tsitsi Madzura Issa, Wadzanai Chitaukire, Gerald Chirinda and Dr Peter Chikumba for reviewing the first draft and giving critical input. Finally I thank Audrey, my friend, my partner in life and ministry for being an incredible co- labourer and support over the years and for challenging me to pursue the purpose of God for my life. I dedicate this publication to the Discipling of the Nations of Africa as priestly kings. I trust that this journey will help you along the way to understanding your own purpose and calling. To God’s Greater Glory! Dr T A Makoni August 2018, Harare 6 The Tabernacle of David: The Key to Discipling Communities and Nations Chapter One: Tabernacle of David Restored On June 26, 2015 the US Supreme Court made a landmark ruling about same sex marriage. In Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 US (2015), the Court held in a 5–4 decision that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same sex couples by the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. This ruling requires all states to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and to recognize same-sex marriages validly performed in other jurisdictions. This legalized same-sex marriages throughout the United States, its possessions and territories. Many Christians were shocked by this development. At the same time a renowned minister of the Gospel, commented about this saying, “I’m not really concerned about this issue as many people are. I think we should not lose our mind about the world being the world and the church being the church. This is not a newsflash. The world is gonna be the world and the church is gonna be the church and we should know the difference.” In this very simplistic way, the celebrated minister dismissed the issue as immaterial and the ruling as inconsequential. With the greatest due respect, I believe he was wrong. He did not understand that God never intended for the church to be simply a church that is unaffected by what happens in the world. We are kingdom citizens representing the kingdom of Heaven and its interests here. The Kingdom does have an interest in ethical and moral matters that contradict Kingdom positions. God’s intention has always been for the church to influence the world and not let the world be the world. This segregatory mindset has affected the Church and minimized its impact on communities and nations. Let’s re-examine God’s real 7 The Tabernacle of David: The Key to Discipling Communities and Nations intentions for the Church. I am a teaching pastor and am particular about creating distinctions that help solve some of the problems we have. I recently read a book called “Why Nations Fail.” One of the things the authors discovered is that nations with more believers generally fail more than nations without believers. Their explanation was that the nations that have more believers have an other-world mindedness. They are trying to escape out of this world and have no intention of impacting this world. While they are here, their minds are elsewhere. Their energies are elsewhere. They are not productive citizens where they are. While the Bible teaches us that we are citizens of another country, it also clearly emphasizes that we are in this world. We have been placed here by God for a purpose: to contribute and impact. But why are we failing to achieve that goal? I believe it’s because of a split mentality. The problem is that we have created a dichotomy in Christiandom where we talk about priests or kings. We talk about priests as those who are in full-time ministry to preach the Gospel and are involved in sacred work. And we speak about kings as those who just serve to provide money to those who preach the Gospel while they are involved in secular (non-spiritual) work. We perceive the priests as the visionaries while kings are simply sources of provision for the visionary priests. That creates a problem of a two tier citizenship-first rate citizens who are involved in spiritual vocations and second-rate citizens who are involved in secular vocations.

  • Alien: Covenant
    ALIEN: COVENANT In space, no one can hear you scream. After nearly four decades, those words remain synonymous with the sheer, relentless intensity of Ridley Scott’s masterpiece of futuristic horror, Alien. Now, the father of the iconic franchise returns once more to the world he created to explore its darkest corners with ALIEN: COVENANT, a pulse-pounding new adventure that pushes the boundaries of R-rated terror. All is quiet aboard the spaceship Covenant. The crew and the rest of the 2,000 souls aboard the pioneering vessel are deep in hyper-sleep, leaving the synthetic Walter to walk the corridors alone. The ship is en route to the remote planet Origae-6, where, on the far side of the galaxy, the settlers hope to establish a new outpost for humanity. The tranquility is shattered when a nearby stellar ignition shreds Covenant’s energy-collection sails, resulting in dozens of casualties and throwing the mission off course. Soon, the surviving crew members discover what appears to be an uncharted paradise, an undisturbed Eden of cloud-capped mountains and immense, soaring trees far closer than Origae- 6 and potentially just as viable as a home. What they’ve found, however, is actually a dark and deadly world full of unexpected twists and turns. Facing a terrible threat beyond their imagination, the embattled explorers must attempt a harrowing escape. Set ten years after the events depicted in Scott’s 2012 hit Prometheus, ALIEN: COVENANT returns to the roots of the director’s groundbreaking saga with a uniquely terrifying tale filled with white-knuckle adventure and monstrous new creatures.

Creative Commons License Anti-Matters: Mortal Ethics in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road 1 Anti-Matters: Mortal Ethics in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road Patrick Damien O’Connor 1 The role of philosophy in the work of Cormac McCarthy has been examined in a variety of contexts. For several decades this scholarship, naturally interdisciplinary, has revolved around issues concerning existentialism, theological and religious questions, post- structural readings of power, and Nietzschean interpretations which see McCarthy’s work as shorthand for the search for transcendent meaning in a meaningless world. One could thus say philosophy is crucial for understanding the ethical outlook of McCarthy. Placing McCarthy’s work in a philosophical context allows a richer account of his literature. Much philosophical work on McCarthy characterizes his reflections as a direct response to philosophical and political themes such as the post-theological, neoliberalism, late capitalism, deindustrialization, violence, jurisprudence and mortality.

  • 1 from Acclaimed Director Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Prometheus) Comes The
    From acclaimed director Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Prometheus) comes the epic adventure EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS, the story of one man’s daring courage to take on the might of an empire. Using state of the art visual effects and 3D immersion, Scott brings new life to the story of the defiant leader Moses (Christian Bale) as he rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton), setting 400,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues. The film’s intrigue, scale, scope, adventurer and vivid characters provide a unique theatrical event. The Exodus from Egypt is the original and definitive heroic saga. It's also a powerful and personal story rich with emotion, rivalry and betrayal and an undying quest for freedom. Notes Scott: “Moses’ life is one of the greatest adventures and spiritual quests of all time.” From its opening battle where 15,000 Egyptian soldiers attack a Hittite encampment, to the towering structures, a terrifying series of plagues, and the parting of the Red Sea, Scott brings his signature vision to one of our most cherished and important stories. “I love anything larger-than-life,” he continues. “I knew what to do with Gladiator – how to make it really breathe, live and feel like people did in that era. With EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS, I wanted to similarly bring to life the Egyptian culture and the Exodus in a way never before possible.” EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS was shot in Pinewood Studios, London and on location in Almeria, Southern Spain and Fuerteventura, the Canary Islands.
