Tabernacle Insights

Having passed beneath the first vail we pass beyond the spiritual divide and enter into the “holy or spirit begotten condition, hence forth we are no longer recognized according to the flesh, but as new creatures in Christ Jesus. Such, as the apostle explains, are forthwith in THE SCHOOL OF...

Continued from our previous post. And so we see that the dividing line between the earthly (or natural man), the unconsecrated believer, and that of the spiritual (the New Creature), the fully consecrated is the “First Vail” or “Vail of Consecration” the “door” to the Tabernacle. This...

Having heeded the call echoed by the Apostle Paul to all believers residing within the courtyard condition, viz. “We beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God"—if you feel gratitude for the manifest love of God, and desire to please Him and enter into the blessings to which you are called--...

AFTER our Lord had fully consecrated himself, surrendering his will for that of the Father’s, or as the Apostle quotes it from the Old Testament, “Lo, I come; in the volume of the Book it is written of me; I delight to do thy will, O my God” (Psa 40:7,8; Heb 10:7) he immediately went down to the...

The “SECOND STEP” entering the Tabernacle proper. “You shall make a screen for the door of the tabernacle, woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver.” (Exod 26: 36) This door (the “First Vail”) represents our Lord even as the “Entrance Curtain” to the...

In our previous post we mentioned how the blind guides had deceived many into believing a mere professing of faith is all that is required of them to insure their heavenly reward, that and their membership in one of the various “pens” denominations or institutions devised by men. The blame...

“Wolves” in the Courtyard In our previous post we were discussing the progressive path of those (individuals’ 1, 4, 5 and 6) who whilst in the courtyard were steadily taking the proper steps leading them to the main goal or object to their justification now during the Gospel Age. Such...

Once again we enter the courtyard through faith in Christ as represented in the entrance curtain, the first step. "We see, then that justification by faith, faith in Christ, our first step toward holiness, brings us into a condition of peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Rom 5:1)...

For the moment we should like to proceed on to individual’s 4 and 5 in our examination of the courtyard, and return to 2 and 3 a bit later as 4 and 5 represents those individuals who are making proper progress as antitypical Levites (justified believers) on their way toward the true purpose or...

Let us now take a closer look at, …condition, along with the various steps necessary for entry, for progress as antitypical or prospective Levites, and what it takes to reach the next condition, the “Holy condition” as depicted by the first chamber in the Tabernacle, the “Holy”. While we’re...

“The Courtyard and the Tabernacle may properly be viewed from two different standpoints, the one representing the final accomplishment of those things typified and the other representing the tentative accomplishment of those things and the progress toward their full attainment. Into this...

“The `Most Holy’ represents the perfected condition of those new creatures who, faithful unto death, gain the great prize of our high calling through a share in the first resurrection. (Rev. 20:6) Then, beyond both vails—the fleshly mind and the fleshly body—they will possess glorious spiritual...

“The two apartments of the Tabernacle, the `Holy’ and the `Most Holy,’ represent two phases or stages of the new life to which we are begotten by the Holy Spirit. “The Tabernacle `building,’ with its two parts, represented the two conditions of all who undergo a change of nature from human to...

“The Courtyard, represents the condition of Justification, entered through faith in Christ, the `gate.’ Into this `Court’ only Levites (typical of justified believers) were allowed to come. These had access to the `Brazen Altar’ and to the `Laver,’ and did service in the `Court,’ but had no...

As was stated in our opening blog post: “The Tabernacle is the key to the divine plan, which alone explains the “mystery” of this Gospel age, which is the church and her special call to the privileges of sacrifice now and of glory by and by." The thought clearly is that the house of servants...

“Then Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of meeting, shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the [Most] Holy Place, and shall leave them there. And he shall wash his body with water in a holy place (the ’courtyard’), and put on his [other] garments, come out and...

Continued from previous post. It is not a punishment to get into the Great Company class. The Great Company will be a very blessed class. They will not be seated in the Throne, but will serve before the Throne; neither will they obtain the Divine nature (Immortality). The Little Flock class...

“In the Hebrew, when the lot had been cast upon the goats, one was declared to be for Jehovah and the other for Azazel. The significance of the word Azazel is not very clear, but according to the majority of modern scholars it stood for the prince of darkness; and in Milton’s “Paradise Lost”...

The following query was posted by VictoryinJesus, the question was in respects to the "Court of the Women" and its significance. First of all I must apologize my sister for the delay in response to your query as I only recently noticed your comment, having been busy with other subjects...

Continued from our previous post. “The Scapegoat class , i.e. ‘The Great Company’ or ‘Great Multitude’, if you will, Rev 7:9;13-17, though ‘castaways’ as regards the prize (1 Cor 9:27) are nevertheless objects of the Lord’s love; for at heart they are friends of righteousness and not sin, hence...
