We continue from our previous post.
“Then you shall take the garments (the Holy Garments), put the tunic on Aaron and the robe of the ephod, the ephod, and the breastplate, and grid him with the intricately woven band of the ephod. You shall put the turban (the “mitre”) on his head, and put the holy crown on the turban.” (Exod 29:5, 6)
“In the type Aaron was arrayed in the ‘Glorious Garments’ before he had even offered a single sacrifice either for himself or for the people. What might this have meant? We believe that God intended here to show forth that Aaron at this time received these garments merely as the earnest of his inheritance. Really these ‘Glorious Garments’ as yet were Aaron’s only by possession though not by ownership! Not until at the end of the Day of Atonement, after having offered himself for the people did these garments become his as a matter of ownership (See Lev 16:23 ,24). So too at the time of our begettal we receive the earnest of our inheritance, but the full inheritance awaits us only after we have faithfully carried out our covenant of sacrifice, ‘even unto death’ Eph 1:13, 14
“And you shall take the anointing oil and pour it on his (Aaron’s) head, and anoint him.” (Exod 29:7)
“Under the law, the anointing was the ceremony by which the priest were installed in their service, they were anointed to their office with a peculiar ointment called the ‘Holy Anointing Oil’, used upon none but the priest, and unlawful for anyone else to have or to make (Exod 30:25-33, 38).This oil typified the Holy Spirit of adoption whereby we, the real ‘Royal Priesthood’, are sealed as sons of God. Only the consecrated ones, the priest, are ever to be thus anointed.” (T 28)
“The anointing oil was poured only upon the head of the High Priest. The under-priests were NOT anointed individually. They were recognized as members of the high priest’s body, and received their anointing only in him as their head, hence also the antitypical priest are merely partakers of the Spirit of Christ, and only those who are IN Christ Jesus are partakers of the anointing which seal’s all those who will be recognized as the heirs of God’s promises, and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ their Lord.” Eph 1:13, 14; 4:30 (T 37)
Thus it is that any claims by any who have not been joined to the body of Christ by means of a full consecration and or covenant arrangement with the Father (Psa 50:5) claims of being either anointed or of being in any way under the guidance of the Holy Spirit in any form or fashion ARE FALSE, and any teachings of such individuals should be avoided or at least suspect.
“The oil ‘ran down… to the skirts of his (the High Priest’s) garments’ (Psa 133:2), thus representing how all the members of Christ’s body are to be partakers of the same anointing after their head. ‘The anointing which you have received of him abides in you.” (1 John 2:27) This oil began to reach the body on the Day of Pentecost and flowed on down through this gospel age, anointing all who are truly baptized into Christ, constituting them, with their head, kings and priest unto God, to reign a thousand years. Rev 20:6 (T 37)
“Then shall you bring his sons [forth], and put tunics on them.” (Exod 29:8)
“The under-priests were robed in linen garments and wore griddles (sashes), their robes represented the righteousness of Jesus, imputed to them, and their griddles represented them as servants of righteousness. The High Priest wore very similar garments during the time of sacrificing (The Day of Atonement) and later put on the glorious garments after making atonement.” (T 36)
The under-priest each wore a “Bonnet” or “Turban”, covering their heads, to indicate that they were not the head of the priesthood, but merely members of the body. God gave Jesus ‘to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body’ (Eph 1:22, 23) It is for this reason that Paul insists that a woman’s head should be covered, as indicating that she is not the head, the husband and the wife being typical (a type or picture) of Jesus and his bride, the Church of the First Born.
