Authentic House Churches: Restoring the Fallen Altar

By Riaan Engelbrecht

To understand what it means to restore the fallen tent and how this connects to house churches, we need to understand that before the church, there was the Temple, and before the Temple, there was the tent of meeting in the days of Moses. The tabernacle of meeting evolved in the physical Temple built by Solomon, which evolved among the Gentiles to become church buildings. With the stages of development, especially among Gentiles, the very essence of the tabernacle of meeting, as in the days of Moses, got lost among the sands of time. The tabernacle in the wilderness was about God meeting with man, and where man could enjoy the presence of the Lord. By the shed Blood of the Lamb, God's presence is now not contained within a physical structure, for God now makes His home within man by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, as believers, we have BECOME the tabernacle of meeting. Through our interpretation of the church, the tabernacle today sadly remains a physical structure instead of a spiritual one. The church of today has evolved away from the foundational concept of divine interaction, relationship and Covenant participation, which forms the spiritual tabernacle (house) in service to God. It is time to rediscover God's true intent and purpose for the Tabernacle, and how we are to restore what has fallen and become lost over the centuries. And this restoration is about returning the blueprint of authentic and Biblical house churches, where we again meet with God, know Him, and worship Him in Spirit and truth.
