As we study the Old Testament
Tent Tabernacle our teacher reminds us that the temple is a representation of
heaven. From my notes I present a
digested message from our Bible Study.
The Priests were deliberate
in their preparation to worship God.
They were the one who killed and burnt the sacrifice for the sins of the
people. They were committed as they
fulfilled the duties of each day. There
was continual washing of feet and hands showing how God desires cleanliness of soul and
spirit as well as our physical being.
Jesus prepared the way so
that we could enter the Holy Place
Hebrews
10:19-22 Therefore,
brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He
consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the
house of God, let us draw
near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled
from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
We
have a great High Priest and have been given the right to enter into the throne
room.
Hebrews 4: 14-16
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has
passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our
confession. For we do not have
a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points
tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let
us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and
find grace to help in time of need.
Revelations
chapter 7 mentions a great multitude and a loud voice saying Salvation unto our God which sits on the throne. The garments of the multitude were white for
they had been washed in the blood of the lamb.
The
Tent Tabernacle had a thick veil separating the Holy Place
Our
teacher showed us a video about the family craft of creating tapestry. This must have been similar to the veil that
separated the Holy Place
II
Chronicles chapter 3 tells us the veil was made of Blue, Purple and Crimson and
find linen. It was wrought with
Cherubim’s there on.
Hebrews
chapter 9 reminds us WHO we ARE, and why we do what we do. Our foundation is in Christ and there is no
other way. The blood of goats and calves
was only temporary to cover sins.
Jesus
shed His blood once and for all to remove our sins.
We
are to understand that according to 1 Corinthians 3:16, We are God’s
temple. Don’t defile the temple by being
deceived or being made a fool of. Be
wise.

Thank you! When I've often thought that I would be in Heaven, I sure wanted to do whatever I could with and for the Lord and angels and some others. Anyhow, I think of that often and it dropped onto me for about 42 years ago. I'm a smiler and a worshiper. All I can do. Bless you!
