Now as a functioning Temple, as with the Temple of Solomon, the temples in Ancient Egypt and most temples from any other culture, a temple must have guards, as they usual house many precious and very valuable relics.  These temple guards are always priests and in the case of Solomon’s Temple, physically there were many, for the purpose of this Temple however and for that of the Living Temple of people of African heritage, we use and recommend a specific number of 24 Priestly Guards.  Three High Priest with different Roles, and 21 other priest all of a similar ranks, equal to, however not the same as those of the High Priests.  This number of 24 Priests is symbolic and also represents and coincides directly with the 24 Elders, praying on Our Behalf before the Father, as well as to help protect the Living Temple’s over the entire 24 hours of the day.

Although symbolic, like every other aspect of this and all other Living Functional Temple, this symbology must be represented in a way and with the specific intention to help the Mind to create an mental image and picture that the individual can use practically, to help them construct their Temple on a solid foundation.

2. Lived & Died upholding and proclaiming the Gospel of Yahshuah.
3. Ascended to the Most High and are praying amongst the myriads of Saints of all nationalities, but specifically on our  behalf, meaning African people, saying how long how long?
