This truly is a Year of Jubilee for us in our church. The Scriptures are opening as never before. The congregation has been participating in some Jewish dancing---and there is nothing else as joyous as Jewish dancing!
It reminds us of the Tabernacle of David, doesn't it?
And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. (II Samuel 6:14,15)
And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. (II Samuel 6:17)

The following verse refers to the decline of the Tabernacle of David, prophesying of the two thousand years of the Church Age, during which the glory of the Christian churches has declined, and Satan has governed the earth. But Christ is coming again, and there will be an end of Satan's rule.
After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up. (Acts 15:16)
After the first century of the Christian Era, the spirit of revelation that was on the original Apostles seems to have been lifted. While some Christian work continued, it appears that the original ministry of the Christian churches was not revitalized until the Protestant Reformers of the Restoration began their ministry. We are thinking now of the revival during the 16th century.
