Sanctuary Symbolism and Tabernacle Typology…

3/31 Daily Exhortation (Heb.3:13;10:25;Matt.6:11;Luke 11:3)

Here’s a 3:31 for this 3/31…

Numbers 3:31 (KJV) And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.

The TABERNACLE TYPES. TEMPLE SYMBOLS. A very glorious study and time would fail me to expound what little I know about it and the infinite mind of God as revealed in the scripture. But let’s delve into it a tad. 

The temple had three major parts: OUTER COURT, INNER COURT, AND MOST HOLY PLACE (some call it “the Holy of Holies”).  We, as the temple of the Holy Ghost, have a spirit, soul, and body. The church is called the temple and pillar and ground of the truth. The temple points to JESUS, the Word of God, His body (church) and by extension of Himself, the scriptures, the word of God. 

You approach the temple EAST TO WEST. God made Israel go ALL THE WAY AROUND to ensure they went into the Promised Land from EAST TO WEST. When God drove Adam/Eve from Eden, He drove them out of the EAST SIDE. Approaching God is symbolized by East to West in that respect. Jonah backslid and was on the EAST part of Nineveh. 

The first thing you saw was the 5 cubit x 5 cubit (25 square cubits and 25 points to sacrifice and 5 points to death in Numerics) brasen altar of sacrifice. This represents Jesus’ sacrifice upon the cross and tasting of the cup of the fierceness/wrath of the Father (perpetually burning). Put the CROSS FIRST. Take up your CROSS daily. 

Next, you move to the brasen laver. The priest would wash the dust from his feet here. It had water (sourced from Hezekiah’s tunnel of underground springs or living water) and the looking glasses of the women so it was the washing of water by the word and the mirror of God’s word. 

Next, the inner court. The golden candlestick had 66 ornaments to shine light upon the table of shewbread of 6 loaves and 6 loaves. The 66 books gives light upon the 66 books. I was listening to a narrator doing the book of James today. She said, “The King James Version – Written by the KING JAMES VERSION.” Okay. That was rich.  As the Psalmist so aptly put it: "In thy light we shall see light." 

We have the altar of incense pointing to prayer. It must be lit from the coals from the altar of sacrifice. All prayer is IN JESUS’ NAME. Hebrews 13 says “BY HIM let us offer the sacrifice of praise…” 

We move through the vail (torn top to bottom representing Christ’s flesh per Hebrews). Salvation only comes from ABOVE. 

In the Most Holy Place is the MERCY SEAT, the 4 cherubim (Lucifer was the 5th but he fell), and the ark of the covenant. The ark had Aaron’s ALMOND rod that buddeth (the Golden Candlestick was ALMOND as well) pointing to resurrection power and the rod/authority of the word of God. You had the tables of stone (commandments or word of God) and a golden pot of manna (Jesus/word of God). The mercy seat is Jesus’ throne. 

Question: Is Jesus on the THRONE in the heart of your temple this day? Have you ever prayed through the temple and prayed about each piece of the tabernacle? This is a rich and rewarding prayer of sweet fellowship with the Lord. Will you be a living spiritual sacrifice today and be the TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST full of Christ and His word?
