The concept of freshness is an important one for us to consider. He submitted to the Spirit in which she approached him, and told her he was sorry for the embarrassment he caused her, and promised never to ask her to go again. Introduction, 10. The Word feeds the inner man of the Christian. This is the showbread. In one sense, woman means complement to man. We need help from the prayers, counsel and ministry of other Christians. It must be renewed frequently and regularly. Here we have the bread and the wine, a portrayal of the Communion service—the body and blood of the Lord Jesus. Painting the face is almost exalted in the church as a godly virtue. It is inhabited already, and with fierce warriors. Therefore, in the Holy Place, God does not recognize physical man or physical woman. If we cooperate, the power of the Holy Spirit will increase in our lives until our whole personality, spirit, soul and body, is crying to God night and day. The Altar of Burnt Offering brings to our mind the Lord Jesus who was slain for us. God has made all things in threes. Whether our wickedness is minor or horrible by human standards is not the issue. Now that we have entered Christ’s death and resurrection we have the power to choose to be a servant of righteousness. Sometimes we ourselves are the battleground. Such is the meaning of several passages of the new-covenant writings, both in the Gospels and the Epistles. If we reassert our own wisdom and desires, God may draw back for a season and teach us the same lessons in a different situation. After a person accepts the blood of the cross as the redemption-payment for his sins, he must be baptized in water to show that he is willing for his old unclean nature to be crucified with Christ. The end-time revival may well be the fulfillment of the “two witnesses” of Revelation, Chapter 11. There must be the offering of a substituted life or else God will not accept the person of the worshiper. Mishkan is Strong’s H4908 meaning “ tabernacle, dwelling or habitation.” mishkan is from the root word shakan /ifÑ (Strong’s H7391) meaning “to dwell, abide, settle down, reside, tabernacle.” The word shechinah derives from shakan and refers to the manifest light or presence of YHVH among his people (Exod 25:8–9).

The Tabernacle building or Tent of Meeting, stood in an area referred to as the Court, or Courtyard, of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. There is no other “bread” that a person can eat and thereby receive eternal life and light. “Esuchia,” translated as silence, could be better translated as quietness, without heckling from the floor and wild soulish outbursts. The table was three feet long; one and one-half feet broad; two feet three inches high. The Hebrew Laver and Christian water baptism are related in meaning. But Christ has made an atonement for us. When we go into spiritual battle we must commit our safety and well-being into the hands of God. In terms of the need of the moment, Christ looks about for a believer, a member of His Body, through whom He can meet the specific need. The Laver signifies our separation from sin and the world by our crucifixion with Christ, established by water baptism; purification from the filth of the world as we keep ourselves holy by confession, repentance, resistance to sin, obedience to God’s will, the atoning blood of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God; the washing away of our sins that comes about by receiving and obeying the Word of God. The rich young ruler was keeping the Law but Christ demanded the “unreasonable” of him: “Sell your possessions and give away the proceeds.”. Four layers of material were thrown over these upright boards, forming the roof. It is impossible for Christ to be formed in the personality of the believer apart from the three deaths. Thus we see that the seven lamps were tended twice each day by the high priest—at sunrise and in the evening. The Divine Substance in us has to be beaten into shape. Little by little the bondages are dealt with, and little by little the fruit of Christ takes their places. The three parts of the Tabernacle and its objects symbolize the three main parts of man and its functions. The cup is a symbol of suffering and death. Korah’s father was Izhar, making Korah a first cousin of Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. He is enthroned on the ark of the covenant in the innermost Holy of Holies (the Most Holy Place). The results of such fleshly endeavor have been disappointing. The seven oil cups were lighted in the evening, and the wicks were trimmed and the cups filled with oil in the morning. Gold represents Divinity. The Laver shows that the Christian must remain pure while he walks through this sinful world (John 17:15). The believer cannot come to God in his own righteousness. But all other leaders and teachers are dead while they yet live, unless they are found in Him. The wooden building was divided into the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies (Most Holy Place). When a particularly rich fruit is to be formed a particularly prolonged death may be required. Of all the dead bodies lying in the ground from the time of Adam, Jesus’ alone came forth. When we prepare our hearts to receive Him, whether in the Communion service, or in prayer, or when meditating in the written Word, or while being exposed to the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in another Christian or in ourselves, Christ comes to us and feeds us with Himself. The figures must never be changed to feet, because this would spoil the symbolic meaning of the measurements. In the second death the bondage of Satan is poured out of the cup of the Christian and righteous and holy freedom in the Spirit of Christ is poured back into his cup. Being transformed in character into the moral image of Christ. 8. “Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.”. (I Corinthians 11:31,32; I John 3:3). This is the eternal purpose of God toward which all of the creation is moving. The Christian is to be a branch of the Lampstand, a member of Christ who is the light of the world. Table of Showbread (literally, Bread of Faces, or Bread of the Presence)—The Table of the Presence Bread was made from acacia wood covered with gold. The gold-covered boards from which the building was constructed stood upright, having two tenons (projections) on the bottom that were inserted in silver sockets placed on the ground. If we are walking in the light of God’s will the blood of Christ is cleansing us from all sin. In their places is formed the freedom from sinful practices that always is true of the Nature of Christ. His body and blood are eternal life (John 6:27-58 is clear on this point). The Veil was ripped open from top to bottom by unseen hands when the Lord Jesus died on the cross, signifying that Christians, through the atoning blood of Jesus, now have access to the very Presence of the Father in Heaven (Hebrews 6:7-12; 10:19,20). There are many such passages in the Song of Solomon. The laver was fashioned from the mirrors of the women who served at the doorway of the tent of meeting (Exodus 38:8). The way of God is a supernatural way. Copyright © 2011-2016 Sonlight Devotional. The miracle comes about by receiving the Divine Nature of God in Christ and by receiving the wisdom and power that come to us when we walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit of God. The Divine Seed does not sin (I John, Chapter Three). Meanwhile, Christ is resting in God, waiting patiently until every one of His enemies becomes His footstool. It requires also that we do not run ahead of God, attempting to build the Kingdom of God by our own wisdom, strength, and desires. The Ark of the Covenant was the sixth item of furniture. The Communion service represents and calls attention to the fact that the Christian believer must partake of the body and blood of Christ. Sometimes a considerable period of time goes by before God brings to our attention the exceedingly great wisdom of His strategies in our life. The eternal life being created in us is communicated to other people. It is pleasing to the Father that the needed help come through human ministry.
