The
exodus, with Moses, was the beginning of G-D preparing a people and
preparing to reveal for the first time a message from
Heaven
that would be written down for all men, in all times, to read and
see! ...The Torah!
(The first 5 Books of the Old Testament;
Pentateuch) It was also the call
of Moses, the departure from Egypt, the establishment of the Priesthood
and the Tabernacle!
"How
long will it be before You judge the people who belong to this world for
what they have done to us? When will You avenge our ‘blood’
against these people?” As we see
the world’s wickedness, just
like the time before the Noah's Flood Catastrophism, we, too, may cry
out to God, “How long?” Judgment comes at last! We may be
distressed and impatient, but G-d has His plan and His
prophetic
Divine timing, and we must learn to trust Him to know what is best.
Judgment is coming—be sure of that! Thank G-d for the time He still has
given you to turn from
sin.
Use the available time to work to help others turn to Him! G-d gives
rewards to His people according to what they deserve!
When you study the Old Testament and
New Testament together, you can gain a greater understanding, because
the New Testament is concealed in the Old Testament, and the Old
Testament is revealed in the New Testament.
Yeshua Messiah
did not destroy the Law, but
He
fulfilled the Messianic
predictions
and the types and shadows that were hidden (not revealed then!) in the
Laws of the
prophesied
Messiah.
He
was and is "the Lamb"!
Image of the Passover Lamb
offered in
Exodus 12.
All scripture is given by inspiration of G-d, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
(2 Timothy 3:16)
It is
that special influence of
the
Holy Spirit
in the lives of holy men which qualified and
enabled
them to make an infallible record of Divine truth concerning the will of
G-d to man!
The first house of worship built by Divine revelation for the true
G-d
was revealed to Moses and constructed by the Hebrews in the Sinai
wilderness. Called the
Tabernacle! This Godly
inspired structure was created by men who were building on Earth what
G-d has built in Heaven. It was a pattern of a Heavenly temple
and a place where the High priest could communicate with God each
year in the "Holy of Holies'
on the day of Atonement.
(Yon Kippur)
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was
admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See,
said he, that thou make all things according to the pattern
showed to thee in the mount. (Hebrews 8:5)
According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle,
and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make
it. (Exodus 25:9 )
The pattern shown Moses had received from G-d!
A period of
about half a year was occupied in the building of the tabernacle. When
it was completed, Moses examined all the work of the builders, comparing
it with the pattern shown him in the mount and the directions he had
received from G-d!"As the Lord had
commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them."
With eager interest the multitudes of Israel crowded around to look upon
the sacred structure. While they were contemplating the scene with
reverent satisfaction,
the pillar of cloud floated over the sanctuary and, descending, enveloped it. "And the
Glory of the L-rd
filled the tabernacle." There was a revealing of the Divine Majesty, and for a time
even Moses could not enter. With deep emotion the people beheld the
token that the work of their hands was accepted. There were no loud
demonstrations of rejoicing. A solemn awe rested upon all. But
the gladness of their hearts welled up in tears of joy, and they
murmured low, earnest words of gratitude that
G-d had condescended to abide with them!
1. The first approach would be to follow the general
order of Revelation, and to begin where
G-d began, that is, with the Ark of the Covenant, and
then proceed on out the Brazen Altar. and Court Gate. This will be
approaching the truth from G-d unto men, that is, the path of
Grace! Unless G-d first
comes in Grace to man, man will in no wise be able to stand in the Shekinah Presence of a Holy G-d!
-G-d's Approach, Faith!
2. The second approach is to begin with the
Gate of the Outer Court, proceeding through,
from the Brazen Altar unto the Ark of the Covenant, in the Holy of
Holiest! This will be approach the truth from man to G-d, that is the
walk of Faith! As man come to
G-d, he must begin at the
Gate, accept the blood sacrifice
of Yeshua Messiah or
Jesus the Christ! From there on he progresses step by
step, until he becomes to the ultimate, the
full Shekinah Glory of G-d!
as seen in the Most Holy Place!

Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a
day of atonement:
it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict
your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of
atonement, to make an
atonement
for you before the LORD your God. (Leviticus
23:27-28)
When
G-d came down in the Tabernacle in the time of Moses, the
curtains will be expand like a men's longs and a breathing sound
was been heard. This sound of breath was called: "The
breath of the Holiest": "Breath" is "Roach" in Hebrew. The
Roach HaKodesh; The "breath" of the Holy Place! The "breath" of the
Holiest became known as the 'Holy breath'. 'Breath' means
Spirit and became as
the Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit is a Person and
it is not just only breath.
He
became like wind. (Likewise Pentecost) And 'wind' in Hebrew
means "Roach"!
(This came out of the oral tradition; that is what is not
recorded as in the Scriptures,
but handed down by word of mouth. To avoid that the oral
tradition would not be lost, they wrote it down. It was handed
down)
The Holy of Holies
Beyond the inner
veil was the Holy of Holies,
where centered the symbolic service of atonement and
intercession, and which formed the connecting link between
Heaven
and earth.(Between
the Heavenly Temple and the of the Earth) In this apartment was
the
ark of Covenant,
a chest of acacia wood, overlaid within and without with gold,
and having a crown of gold about the top. It was made as a
depository for the tables of stone, upon which G-D Himself had
inscribed the Ten Commandments. Hence it was called the ark of G-d's
testament,
or the ark of the
covenant,
since the Ten Commandments were the basis of the covenant made
between God and Israel.
The cover of the sacred chest was called the mercy seat. This was wrought of
one solid piece of gold, and was
surmounted by golden cherubim, one standing on each end. One wing of each angel was stretched
forth on high, while the other was folded over the body ...Thus
were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two
wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered
their bodies.
(Ezekiel 1:11) in token of reverence and humility. The position
of the cherubim, with their faces turned toward each other, and
looking reverently downward toward the ark, represented the
reverence with which the Heavenly Host regard the law of G-d and
their interest in the plan of redemption!
The Ark of the covenant made from...
Acacia seyal, the Red
acacia, known also as the shittah tree (the source of shittim
wood), is a thorny, 6–10 m (20–30 ft) high tree with a pale
greenish or reddish bark. At the base of the 3–10 cm (1–4 in) feathery leaves
there are two straight, light grey thorns, growing to 7–20 cm
(3–8 in) long. The blossoms are displayed in round, bright
yellow clusters approximately in 1.5 cm (0.5 in) diameter. In
Acacia seyal var. fistula, which is more common on heavy clay
soils, some of the thorns are swollen and house symbiotic ants.
It is distributed from Sudan to Kenya and west Senegal. In the
Sahara, it often grows in damp valleys. Wood from the tree is
said to have been used in Ancient Egypt to make coffins and so
the Ark of the Covenant
The Ark is referred to by many
different titles or names in
Scripture:
The present of
G-D in Yeshua/Christby the Spirit in the
midst of His redeemed people
3
The Ark represents
The Shekinah
Glory revealed in Divine order &
worship
4
The Ark represents
The fullness
of the G-D-head bodily revealed
in Yeshua
Messiah
Colossians 1:19; 2:9
All that the
Ark was to Ancient Israel in the
Scripture (OT);
Yeshua
Messiah or
Jesus the
Christ is to His
"Church", in the New Testament!
The manifestation of the Divine Shekinah Presence
Above the mercy
seat was the Shekinah Glory,
the manifestation of
the Divine Presence; and from between the cherubim, G-d made known His will. Divine
messages were sometimes communicated to the high priest by a
voice from the cloud. Sometimes a light fell upon the angel at
the right, to signify approval or acceptance, or a shadow
or cloud rested upon the one at the left to reveal
disapproval or rejection.
The law of God,
enshrined within the ark,
was the great rule of righteousness and judgment!
That law pronounced death upon the transgressor; but above the
law was the mercy seat, upon which
the presence of G-D was revealed, and from which, by virtue of the atonement,
pardon was granted to the repentant sinner!. Thus in the
work of
Yeshua/Christ
for our redemption, symbolized by the sanctuary service,
"mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and
peace have
kissed each other."(Psalm 85:10.
(Here we have four attributes of G-D that bring salvation to men
who fear Him. They are
mercy, truth, righteousness, and
peace(Ps. 85:10-11).
No mortal eye
but that of the high priest was to look upon the inner
apartment of the sanctuary {Holy of Holies}. Only
once a year {Atonement;
Yon Kippur}could the
priest enter there, and that after the most careful and solemn preparation. With trembling he went in
before G-d, and the people in reverent silence awaited his
return, their hearts uplifted in earnest prayer for the Divine
blessing. Before the mercy seat the high priest made
the atonement for
Israel; and in
the cloud of glory, G-d met with him. His stay here beyond the accustomed time
filled them with fear, lest because of their
sins
or his own he had been slain by the
Glory of the L-rd. (Partly
out of :Patriarchs and Prophets, by
Ellen G. White, is in
the public domain; See below this page for more information!)
In preparation, the high priest...
In preparation, the high priest would separate himself from
his family and from the Israelites for seven days in a chamber
at the Temple (or tent in Moses day) On the special Day of
Atonement, he come forth dressed in four linen garments which
were the following (Leviticus 16:4):
1. A linen robe with long sleeves that
draped to the ankles. 2. A linen belt that tied around the waist 3. A pair of linen breaches. 4. A linen turban that fit around the head
covering his hair
The high priest had removed his
royal
vestments; the golden crown with the
Name of G-d engraved;
the
breastplate of gold with the 12 precious stones,
the Urim* &
Thummin*; and the purple garment, to wear linen clothes. This was
the day that G-d would decide if He would forgive the sins of
the Nation (of Ancient Israel)!
The entire day was spent in fasting and in reverence to G-d!
When G-D covered their sin (enrolled for one year) in Heaven,
the angels and people again celebrating G-D's favor! (Angels are
no doubt concerned about man's destiny with G-d!)
* URIM AND THUMMIM
(Heb. אוּרִיםוְתֻמִּים), a priestly
device for obtaining oracles. On the high priest's
*ephod
(an apron-like garment) lay a breast-piece (חֹשֶׁן)
– a pouch inlaid with 12 precious stones engraved with the names
of the 12 tribes of Israel – that held the Urim and Thummim
(Ex. 28:15–30; Lev. 8:8).
By means of the Urim, the priest inquired of
YHVH on behalf of
the ruler (Num. 27:21; cf. Yoma
7:5, "only for the king, the high court, or someone serving
a need of the community"); they were one of the three legitimate
means of obtaining oracles in early Israel (Urim, dreams,
prophets; I Sam. 28:6). Owing to the oracular character of
the Urim, the breast-piece is called "the breast-piece of
decision" (חֹשֶׁןהַמִּשְׁפָּט The right to
work this oracle was reserved for the levitical priests
(Deuteronomy 33:8). (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/judaica/ejud_0002_0020_0_20235.html)
One the high priest entered the
Most Holy
place with the bull's blood, he
sprinkled the east-side of the Ark of the Covenant
7 times(Leviticus 16:14) Without
shedding of blood there was no forgiveness of sins!...And to
Yeshua/Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a
new covenant, and to
the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a better {and} nobler {and} more gracious
message than
the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance]. (Hebrews 12:24
Amplified)
The
high-priest sprinkled the east-side of the Ark of the Covenant
7 times! Yeshua Messiah
shed His Blood from
seven different parts of His body:
1. From
His
face, where
He sweat became
blood 2. From His head,
where they placed a crown of thorns. 3. On His back
where they beat Him with a 12-fold
whip. 4. On His left hand
where the spike was driven into the flesh. 5. On His right hand
where the spike was driven into the flesh. 6. On His feet that
was nailed together. 7. On His side
where the spear pierced Him.

Yom Kippur has its own candle-lighting blessing. If the holiday
coincides with
Shabbat,
the words in parentheses are added:
On the fearsomeDay of Atonement
On the fearsome Day of
Atonement, the Jews literally either lived or died
according to G-D's will.
It shall be a statute to you forever that in
the seventh month [nearly October] on the tenth day of the month
you shall afflict yourselves [by fasting with
penitence and humiliation] and do no
work at all, either the native-born or the stranger who dwells
temporarily among you. For on
this Day Atonement
shall be made for you, to cleanse
you; from all your
sins
you shall be clean before the Lord. It is a Sabbath of [solemn]
rest to you, and you shall afflict yourselves
[by fasting with penitence and humiliation]; it is a
statute forever. And the [High] -priest who shall be
anointed and consecrated to minister in the priest's office in
his father's stead shall make
atonement,
wearing the holy linen garments; He shall make
atonement for the
Holy Sanctuary,
for the Tent of Meeting, and for the altar [of burnt offering in
the court], and shall make
atonement
for the priests and for all the
people of the assembly. This shall be an
everlasting statute for you, that
atonement
may be made for the Israelites for all their
sinsonce a year. And
Moses did as the Lord commanded him. (Leviticus 16:29-34
Amplified)
The Merci Seat was all of gold. Solid
gold makes it very costly, but that which would applied
on it, the Blood (of
Yeshua..symbolic; and later on the
cross) of the atonement
is priceless! (Romans 3:25a). The Cherubim
on the Merci Seat are symbols of power; authority &
guardianship, the ultimate in assurance and security. It speaks
of Yeshua Messiah as the assured,
unequivocal authority & power. The Blood
has been applied, the Shekinah
Glory has come, The L-rd-G-d Elohimאלהים has
excepted the sacrifice and no power in Heaven or earth or under
the earth can change it!The Cherubim were to look one to the other
toward the Merci Seat; Agreement & unanimity; with outstretched
wings, they reveal agreement and assume a posture of
protection.
The law condemned everyone. Only Yeshua
could fulfill the law. Only the golden lid with
the Cherubim and having the
Blood applied, could keep men from
judgment from the law. Yeshua Messiah
(Grace) has fulfill
the demands of the law through the shedding of
His Blood. The lid and Cherubim
that covers and meet the demands of the law. (Matthew 5:17)
When the High-priest approached, only
the Merci Seat on the Ark was in view and not the law. Between
the law and Shekinah Glory, G-D's
Holiness & Justice, was the
applied Blood. The High priest was
safe with the atoning Blood for G-D
looked upon the Blood and could
forgive! The Blood could now speak
'Grace' rather than
judgment for the sinner! (Exodus
25:21, 22; Hebrews 10:19-22)
The Shekinah Glory on the Mercy
Seat Source of Illustration unknown
The two identical goats...
During this important moment the high priest would bring
two identical (in age; size; color; etc...)
goats with him.
One goat was marked with a long piece of
scarlet thread tied between the 2 horns. This goat was
the sacrificial goat on the altar. The other goat was marked as
"Azazel" (An
other name for satan) And Aaron shall cast
lots upon the two goats; one lot for the
L-RD, and the other lot for the
scapegoat. (Leviticus 16:8 KJV) The high priest then laid hand on the (scape) goat, and
transferred the sins of all Israel onto the goat. This
goat was taken far out into the wilderness and pushed off a
cliff where it died. G-d did not want the sins coming back, so
the goat was destroyed, never to bring the sins back again!
A
third red tread was attached to the door of the Temple
gate (Tabernacle-gate). When the goat died in the wilderness, the red tread on the
Temple door was said to turn white! Upon seeing this, Israel
knew G-d had accepted their sacrifices and all their sins
were forgiven.
Three
red treads were used at the Day of Atonement.
1. Tied to the horns of the goat "for the Lord"! 2.Tied to the horns of the
scapegoat. 3. Tied to the
Temple doors (See also
Isaiah 1:18)
Three crosses are in the crucifixion of Yeshua; Three
men are dying:
1.Yeshua
was
dying as an offering "for the Lord"! 2. A thief
did reject the Messiah,
and he went to hell! 3. Another thief "changed" on the cross, his scarlet sins
becoming white as snow!
Yeshua Messiah
has put His Laws in our hearts!
Yeshua Messiah
has put His Laws in our hearts, and became our "scapegoat"
and taken our sins on His shoulders on the cross. He has paid
the price for our life & salvation; we owe Him everything!
Even the cross itself seems to point in both directions - One
'arm' toward the past, the other
toward the future - as if to tell us
that the love of Yeshua reaches out in loving invitation to
every one!
This
is the agreement (testament, covenant) that I will set up {and}
conclude with them after those days, says the Lord: I will imprint My laws upon their hearts,
and I will inscribe them on their minds (on
their inmost thoughts and understanding), He then goes on to
say, And their sins
and their lawbreakingI will remember no more. (Hebrews 10:16, 17
Amplified)
Each aspect of the crucifixion is a scene from the
past...
Each
aspect of the crucifixion is a scene from the past; a type from
the OT Law {Teachings} being acted out and fulfilled by
Yeshua Messiah Himself! We would
look in vain in the New Testament Scriptures for a fulfillment
by the Church (-age), because the Church owes no atonement.
"She" is not innocent, but exonerated. Now
Yeshua has paid all
our sins!Yeshua Messiah is our High Priest as declared in
(Hebrews
4:14-16
Amplified)
Inasmuch then as we have a great
High Priest Who has [already] ascended {and}
passed through the Heavens, {Yeshua Messiah} Jesus the Son of G-D, let us hold fast our confession [of
faith in Him]. For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to
understand {and} sympathize {and} have a shared feeling with our
weaknesses {and} infirmities {and} liability to the assaults of
temptation, but One Who
has been tempted in every respect as
we are, yet without sinning. Let us
then fearlessly {and}
confidently {and}
boldly draw near to the Throne of
grace (the Throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners)[Into
His Heavenly Temple], that we may
receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good
time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help,
coming just when we need it].
The
curtain [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two
...
When our High Priest died on Calvary
(Luke 23:45, 46):
While the sun's light faded {or} {was darkened}; and the
curtain [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two.
And
Jesus [Yeshua},
crying out with a loud voice, said, Father, into Your hands I
commit My spirit! And with these words, He expired.
states that the curtains of the Holy of Holies was torn from the
top to the bottom. This clearly signaled that we now can enter
into the Shekinah Presence of Gd by the
Blood of the Lamb!
Now where there is absolute remission (forgiveness and
cancellation of the penalty) of these [sins
and lawbreaking],
there is no longer any offering made
to atone
for
sin.
Therefore, brethren, since we have full freedom {and} confidence
to enter into the [Holy of] Holies
[by the power and virtue] in the blood of Jesus / Yeshua,
By this fresh (new) and living way which He initiated
{and} dedicated {and} opened for us through the
separating curtain (veil of the Holy
of Holies), that is, through His flesh, And since we have [such]
a great {and} wonderful {and} noble Priest [Who rules] over the
house of G-D, (Hebrews 10:18, 21
Amplified)
Endless priesthood
(Psalms 110)
compared with
(Hebrews 5:10; 6:20; 7:3,17,21,23-28) Where
Jesus/Yeshua
has entered in for us [in advance], a Forerunner having become
a High Priest forever after the
order (with the rank) of
Melchizedek. (Hebrews 6:20;
Amplified)
His
Divine rule in the hearts of those who acknowledge Him as
Sovereign Lord! Yeshua had to beaten to get mercy for us! (Hebrews 5:
8-10; 9: 3-8)
Receiving by grace His Glory and being in His Divine presence!
The Law = The Way
The Manna = The truth
The Rod = The life
Yeshua
said to him,
I
am
the Way
and
the Truth
and the Life;
no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.(John 14:6)
The clouds of smoke arising from it were full of perfume, and
spread their fragrance all around, penetrating the veil, and
reaching even to the 'Throne', the Holy of Holies, were the Ark
of the Covenant stands! With live coals from the brazen Altar,
was put upon the golden Altar for burning it.
Altar of perpetual intercession...
The incense,
ascending with the prayers of Israel,
represents the merits and
intercession of
Yeshua/Christ,
His perfect righteousness, which through faith
is imputed to His people, and which can alone make
the worship of sinful
beings acceptable to G-D! Before the veil of the most Holy place
was an altar of perpetual
intercession {Golden
Altar of incense},
before the Holy, an altar
of continual
atonement.
By
blood
and by incense God was to be approached--symbols pointing to the
great Mediator, through whom
sinners
may approach Yahweh, and through whom alone mercy and salvation
can be granted to the
repentant, believing soul!
Pleading in their behalf in the sanctuary above...
In the offering
of incense the priest was brought more directly into
the presence of
G-D
than in any other act of the daily ministration. As the inner
veil of the sanctuary did not extend to the top of the building,
the Glory of G-D, which was
manifested above the mercy seat, was partially visible from the
first apartment. When the priest offered incense before the
Lord, he looked toward the ark; and as the cloud of incense
arose, the Divine {Shekinah} Glory descended upon the mercy seat
and filled the most Holy place, and often so filled both
apartments that the priest was obliged to retire to the door of
the tabernacle. As in that typical service the priest looked by
faith
to the mercy seat
which he could not see, so the people of G-D are now to direct
their prayers to Yeshua/ Christ, their great
High Priest, who, unseen by human vision, is pleading in their
behalf in the sanctuary above!
{In the Heavenly Temple}
The morning and evening service in the
sanctuary...
As the priests
morning and
evening entered the Holy Place at the
time of incense, the daily sacrifice was ready to be offered upon the altar in
the court without. This was a time of intense interest to the
worshipers who assembled at the tabernacle. Before entering
into the presence of God through the ministration of the priest,
they were to engage in earnest searching of heart and
confession of
sin!
They united in silent prayer, with their faces toward the holy
place.
Thus their petitions ascended with the cloud of incense,
while faith laid hold upon the merits of the promised Savior
prefigured by the atoning sacrifice! The hours appointed for
the morning and the evening sacrifice were
regarded as sacred, and they came to be observed as the set time
for worship throughout the {Ancient} Jewish nation. And when in
later times the Jews were scattered as captives in distant
lands, they still at the appointed hour turned their faces
toward Jerusalem and offered up their petitions to the G-D of
Israel.
In this custom
Christians have an example for morning and evening
prayer {service). While God condemns a mere round of ceremonies,
without the spirit of worship, He looks with great
pleasure upon those who love Him, bowing morning and
evening to seek pardon for
sins
committed and to present their requests for needed blessings!
A "lamb" without blemish...
Every morning
and evening a lamb {without
blemish} of a year old was burned upon the altar, with its appropriate meat offering,
thus symbolizing the daily consecration of the nation to
"Yahweh", and their constant dependence upon the atoning blood of
Yeshua/Christ.
God expressly directed that every offering presented for the
service of the sanctuary should be
"without blemish." Exodus 12:5. The priests
were to examine all animals brought as a sacrifice, and were to
reject every one in which a defect was discovered. Only an
offering "without blemish" could be a symbol of His perfect purity who was
to offer Himself as
"a lamb without blemish and without spot." 1 Peter 1:19. The apostle Paul
points to these sacrifices as an illustration of what the
followers of
Yeshua/Christ
are to become. He says,
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of G-D, that
ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable service." Romans 12:1. We are to give
ourselves to the service of God, and we should seek to make the
offering as nearly perfect as possible. G-D will not be pleased
with anything less than the best we can offer. Those who love
Him with all the heart, will desire to give Him the best service
of the life, and they will be constantly seeking to bring every
power of their being into harmony with the laws that will
promote their ability to do His will.

The better High Priest
As the sweet fragrance of
smoking incense is most agreeable to the senses, so are the
prayers of G-D's children very pleasing and acceptable to
Him! The brazen altar is a type of
Yeshua Messiah
with respect and referring to
His
atonement. The golden Altar is a type of
Yeshua Messiah
with respect and referring to
His
others part of His
(High) Priestly office! It was
His blood
that was sacrificed on the cross for our sins!

- and no intervening veil - is before the Throne in Heaven!

There are
3 kind of altars
in the Scriptures!
1
Stone altar
Gen 12:8
Place for personal sacrifice!
2
Brazen altar
Ex 27:1-2
Place of dealing with your flesh!

The Altar of
Incense...1
In
the center, at the west-end of the Holy place, and just before
the 'door-hanging' of the Holy of Holies is standing the
Golden Altar of smoke-incense,
a situation of higher honor than that of any other of the secret
vessels there is yet to considered, being regarded as
immediately before the 'Throne' itself, even though the veil
intervened. (Exodus 30:6)
It was made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold. (Exodus 30:3)
Two rings for the gold-covered staves passing through, by which
is was carried - corner-wise, and was so placed in the Holy
place, presenting to one entering a corner and not a side! So
the horns of the Altar might point to each of the four great
armies (tribes) of Israel encamped around the Tabernacle!
(Exodus 30:4)
The Lord G-D required that special incense be burned constantly
on the Altar of Incense. It was a special mixture of spices to
be used only for the Tabernacle. Incense was made of various
sweet smelling and precious spices, according to Divine
directions.
The
burning incense in the Holy place is regarded as an emblem of
prayer! All the words of the ancient Jewish believers went up by
the "smoke of incense"! There are 11 kind of prayers in the New Covenant! G-D
specially connected. None other was to be burned on this altar!
(Leviticus
10:1-2; Exodus 30:1-37; Hebrews 9:2) Our radical devoted & compassionated worship; Intercession &
Prayers of the saints will come as a "smoke of incense" to the
Throne of the Heavenly Father!
(Hebrews 7:25)
And another angel came and stood over the altar. He had a golden
censer, and he was given very much incense
(fragrant spices and gums which exhale perfume when burned),
that he might mingle it with the prayers of
all the people of God (the saints) upon the golden altar
before the throne. ...And the smoke of the incense (the perfume)
arose in the presence of God, with the prayers of the people of
God (the saints), from the hand of the angel. (Revelation 8:3-4)
The altar of incense stood right before the veil corners-wise,
which leads into the Holy of Holies.
(Exodus 30:1, 3-4). The
Word of God tells us that incense speaks of
intercession and worship. As
incense rose from the altar of incense, filling the Holy place,
I’m sure it was difficult for the priests to see as they
entered, because there was nowhere for the smoke to escape.
There were different skins covering the Holy place in the
Holy of Holies. The symbolism as
the priests came in and the light of the candlestick shone
through the smoke is very powerful, because it suggests that
when revelation comes, it comes
through intercession and through worship. As the
high priest entered the Holy of
Holies once a year through the veil (Yon Kippur;
Day of atonement; (Leviticus
23:27-28),
the light came through the smoke as the incense preceded him.
The veil speaks of Yeshua(Hebrews 10:20). The
moment the veil opened, the incense (worship, prayer) preceded
him. You and I cannot enter into the presence of God until we
enter first through our worship and through prayer, which is the
incense. Psalm 141:2
speaks of our worship preceding anything before the presence of
God.

Yeshua Messiah
The better High Priest!
Having
therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by
the blood
of Jesus;
by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us,
through the veil, that is to say,
His
flesh; And having an High priest over the house of G-D; (Hebrews
10:19-21)
The
High priest lightening the candlesticks of the Menorah

Menorah
Oil:
referring to the Holy Spirit; In the inside of yourself the Light of
Yeshua Messiah.
ALWAYS BURNING! Yeshua Messiah is the LIGHT of the world!
Gold
is a type of the Divine or Divinity, and only as we are restored to the image of
G-D and filled with
his Light and presence can we light bearers for the world!
We are not our self the light of this world, but we are to so
shine that men shall see our good works and glorify our Father,
which is in Heaven. We are to reveal not our goodness and our
grace, but
Christ
in us!
The Lamp-stand-Menorah provided light in this otherwise dark
'Holy room'! The Priests trimmed the wicks to keep them burning
brightly! This Menorah was made from a single piece of gold!
It was not pieced together! It had a central shaft.
Jewish Menorah
No language can
describe the Glory of the scene presented within the sanctuary--the
gold-plated walls reflecting the light from the golden candlestick (Jewish Menorah),
the brilliant hues of the richly
embroidered curtains
with their shining angels, the table {with the showbread}, and the altar of incense,
glittering with gold; beyond the second veil the sacred ark, with its
mystic cherubim, and above it the
Holy Shekinah, the visible manifestation of Yahweh's presence; all but a dim
reflection of the Glories of the
Temple of G-D in Heaven,
the great center of the work for man's
redemption!
The Shaft and the Branches are the first things you can
notice at the Menorah in the Tabernacle of Moses and later in
Solomon's Temple. They are spoken of as "His" shaft and
"His" Branches. Who
is He other than the L-rd Yeshua Messiah
5 Behold, the
days come, saith the L-rd that I will raise unto David a
righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall
execute judgment and justice in the earth. (Jeremiah 23:5 KJV)
2 In that day shall the branch of
the L-RD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth
shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of
Israel. (Isaiah
4:2 KJV)
A peaceable Kingdom of the Branch
out of the root of Jesse
1 And there
shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch
shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the
L-RD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of
knowledge and of the fear of the L-rd; 3 And shall
make him of quick understanding in the fear of the L-rd: and he
shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove
after the hearing of his ears: (Isaiah 11:1-3 KJV)
Seven
Predictions -- Fulfilled:
1. There shall come forth a rod out
of the stem of Jesse (Isaiah.
11:1).
2. A Branch shall grow out of his roots.
3. The Spirit of the L-rd shall rest upon Him (Isaiah. 11:2).
4. The Spirit of wisdom and understanding shall rest upon Him.
5. The Spirit of counsel and might.
6. The Spirit of knowledge.
7. The Spirit of the fear of YHVH.
17 And if some
of the branches be
broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in
among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of
the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the
branches. But if
thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I
might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they
were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded,
but fear: 21 For if G-d spared not the natural
branches, take heed
lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the
goodness and severity of G-d: on them which fell, severity; but
toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness:
otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, if
they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for G-d
is able to graff them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut
out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed
contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall
these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own
olive tree? Romans 11:17-24 KJV)
A fruitless branch grafted to a good tree is contrary to custom.
How much more shall these, which be the natural
branches, be grafted into their own
olive tree?(Romans 11:34).
It being contrary to custom to graft unfruitful branches into a
good and fruitful tree, how much more will it be natural to
graft branches into their own fruitful tree? Yeshua said: "I am the vine"
{He is the shaft in which were the 12} "and you are the Branches"
{The Church; (John 15:5 (KJV) 5 I
am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I
in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye
can do nothing.
Just as the Branches abide in the shaft
the Branches abide in the vine, so the Church in mystical union
is to abide in Yeshua Messiah; the Head of all things. Just as
the Branches proceed from the side of the Shaft and Eve
proceeded out the side of Adam, so the Church proceeds out of
the pierced side of Yeshua the Messiah (Genesis 2:21; John 19:34)

The Show-breads
The
show-breads was kept ever before the Lord as a perpetual offering.
Thus it was a part of the daily sacrifice. It was called
showbread, or "bread of the presence," because it was ever
before the face of the Lord. It was an acknowledgment of
man's dependence upon G-D
for both temporal and spiritual food, and that it
is received only through the mediation of
Yeshua/Christ.
G-D had fed Israel in the wilderness with bread from heaven
{Manna; food of the angels}, and they were still dependent upon
His bounty, both for temporal food and spiritual blessings. Both
the manna and the showbread pointed to Yeshua/Christ, the living Bread, Who is ever in the presence of G-D for
us. He Himself said,
"I am the living Bread which came down from heaven." John
6:48-51.
Frankincense was placed upon the loaves. When the bread was
removed every Sabbath, to be replaced by fresh loaves, the
frankincense was burned upon the altar as a memorial before G-D!
Now the brazen laver looks like a big cup and saucer full of
water. It speaks of the Word of God
(Exodus 30:17-18; Exodus 38:8; Ephesians
5:25-26.) The laver could not be used by
Israel until Moses had sprinkled it with the blood. They could
not use it until Moses spread it with blood because symbolically
we cannot understand the Word until the blood has been applied
on our lives. It is impossible to understand the Word of
God as you read it if you haven’t been washed in the blood of
the Lamb. The Israelites couldn’t use the brazen laver until
Moses had sprinkled it with blood,
representing the work of the Cross
and the blood of Yeshua washing our
sins. “Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the church, and gave
Himself for it; that he might
sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.”
(Ephesians 5:25-26)
The laver speaks of sanctification—“that he
may sanctify it.” The laver speaks of cleansing, representing
the work of the Cross and the blood of
Yeshua cleansing us from sin. The
Holy Spirit cannot operate through the Word without the
foundational work of the Cross. Until the blood has cleansed
you, regardless of how much or how often you read the Word,
there will be no revelation of truth. In the Old Covenant,
according to Exodus
30:20-21, the priests had to wash their hands
and feet before they could minister to God, because hands speak
of working, and feet speak of walking. But Jesus said something
powerful in John 13:10:
“Jesus saith to him, he that is washed needeth not save to wash
his feet,” In other words, today you don’t
have to wash your hands as a Old Testament believer; you only
need to wash your feet (walk) because it by grace and not of
works. The old covenant is the covenant of work and walk. The
new covenant is by grace and not by work. Everything we receive
today is by grace. When you study the Old Testament and New
Testament together, you can gain a greater understanding,
because the New Testament is concealed in the Old Testament, and
the Old Testament is revealed in the New Testament. (Source: ILumina-Study-Bible virtual)

The
purpose here is to fulfill G-d’s perfect will, not to
please or to compromise with the nowadays leaders & Church
organizations, but being carriers of
God’s Holy anointed oil
–
the anointing
of the
Holy Spirit
– with power! That
sacred anointing
flowed through the disciples and believers of the First Century
Church, releasing a Divine capability – a power and authority
they never had experienced before! The same
Holy anointing
is what we must have flowing, unlimited, unhindered, TODAY!
Without it, we will continue to stay in the position of
weakness, powerless and impotent! It is because of
the anointing
that ‘every yoke’ will be broken and destroyed!
The anointing
of the
Holy Spirit
is G-D’s seal
upon our life!
Come...
Come to My appointed secret place.
This is the place where I am waiting so long for
you! I want to be your best friend! I want to take
your hand, to take a walk with you and show you My

Blood
is shed for you! My stripes brought your healing**.
Accept it! Believe it! Is there anything
too much for me? My desire is for you! I will give
you My glory, My healing, My love, My
goodness, My blessing, My anointing, My victory and
so many things more! COME to the Throne of My
Father. COME! And I shall be there for you on this

They all numbers have a specific meaning!
Who was Melchizedek? He
was obviously a G-D-fearing man, for his name means “king of
righteousness,” and "king of Salem" means “king of peace.”
He was a “priest of G-D Most High”
(Hebrews 7:1-2). He recognized God as Creator of heaven and
earth. What else is known about him? Four main theories have been
suggested:
Here is the part of the drama that is real touching the most: How can 4
men (Roman soldiers) be that close to the greatest event of mankind &
world history and be gambling at the foot of the cross? How can you be
so close to the blood, that's not even Earthly. Yeshua's blood is not
coming from the seed of a man, it came from the Holy Spirit Himself!
This is not just "Royal Blood", and never tasted by sin, and these
soldiers are just a few feet away from the Blood that is assigned to
redeem anybody in the Earth (Past; present and future) who want to
belief...! It is about 32 AD approximate that this is happen. And those
men are just gambling about His clothes!

Holy of Holies Ministries was begun in 1994 in
Tallahassee; Florida, by Dr. Stan J. Kmet and his wife Marci at
Christian Heritage Church. They shared the vision to take a replica of
the Moses’ Tabernacle of the Congregation into the Church Body so that
the "Body" could see first-hand the many New Testament lessons that G-D
designed into Moses’ Tabernacle. Dr. Stan Kmet thoroughly researched the Tabernacle
itself and its elaborate furnishings in order to come up with the many
teachings and illustrations about the Tabernacle of the Congregation
that soon became a part of the Holy of Holies Ministry. Over more than
77.000 people have been ministered to and have experienced the Presence
of the Living G-d!
“Rebuilding the Tabernacle of David” during these last
days. “We have seen an increase of anointing, and praise and worship is one of
the major keys”. Giving the remnant of men an opportunity to seek
G-D and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth! Because of the efforts of "Holy of Holies Ministries",
many within the Church have come to see the significance of Moses’
Tabernacle as it relates to their pursuit of God into the Tabernacle’s
inner sanctum, the Holy of Holies! Through the practical applications
within "Holy of Holies Ministries", many believers have learned how each
piece of the Tabernacle Furniture had a lesson to teach that led the
pursuant into the Presence of God within the Holy of Holies!
