the tabernacle

1 Cubit = 25 inches It will be noted that the entire length of the linen curtains surrounding the courtyard (Shown in green) beginning from the south side of the gate (B.C. 4126) traveling all the way around until we come back to the north side of the gate (A.D. 2874) is exactly 280 cubits or...

THE SELECTION OF LEVI The patriarch Jacob's descendants through his twelve sons, after having multiplied in Egypt, were reduced to virtual slavery. God raised up for them a great deliverer, Moses, and by ten plagues revealed His mighty power, until Pharaoh permitted the Israelite's to depart...

We present the following subject due to the fact that there are still many who are confused over the issue of the Great Company, who they are and what should be their ultimate fate. Much of this confusion is centered over one particular statement found in Revelation Chapter 7 Verse 9 which...

Continuing with our review of what we have leaned thus far in this study on who the Great Company is and if the Jehovah’s Witnesses fit the bill, we move on to point number, 7) As was stated in our previous post, we have a class here of consecrated individuals (spirit begotten) all of whom the...

Let us review what we have so far. Remember what our original intent was for this study? It was our intent to determine whom precisely the Great Company class was and from whence they originated this so as to determine for ourselves once and for all if our friends the Jehovah’s Witnesses fit...

We continue with what the apostle Paul was speaking about concerning those whose work would be burned up. “Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.” (1 Cor 5:5) Who was the Apostle referring to here when he states...

Continued from our previous post. It is apparent that some fell to produce the fruits necessary in order to make their calling and election sure because they fell to abide in the Lord, rather they allow the cares of this world, jobs, family, friends, ambitions and etc. to draw them away, and so...

In the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matt 25) our Lord mentions that both the wise AND the foolish were considered “virgins” what does this imply, what makes them all virgins? They are virgins in that they have been sanctified by God, made holy and acceptable to Him through the...

Who specifically was the Apostle referring to here (beside himself), when speaking of being a “castaway” (1 Cor 9:27)? I believe the answer to the first part of this question is found in the Apostles opening address to this Epistle. “To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are...

Thus far we believe we have established, 1) that the typical Levites represented a class of individuals separate and distinct from the rest of the world, separated (i.e., sanctified, set apart) by God, and 2) that unlike the rest of mankind they are to receive no inheritance in the land, (that...

In Exodus Chapter 12 we read of the institution of the Passover. “The term Passover signifies to pass by or spare from an affliction. When the last plague was visited upon Egypt, the houses of the Israelite's were all marked with the blood of a slain lamb, that the destroying angel might not...

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees (Doctors of the Law then, now days referred to as Doctors of Divinity), you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven (the spiritual or heavenly phase of the kingdom) in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are...

Having concluded our look at the Sixth seal and how it portrays conditions consistent to the rise of the Beast “THAT WAS” we now continued on with our investigation to see what THE SIXTH TRUMPET has to say on these matters. Keep in mind the object of the trumpets is not the same as that of the...

All believers coming through the "curtain" (the “First Vail”) are "called to be saints," but only those who obey the call and YIELD themselves sacrifices (fulfilling their covenant of sacrifice), "make their calling and election sure." Thus this first vail represents clearly our death to the...

“In his letter to the Hebrews, the Apostle frequently refers to a vail. He is writing to those who were familiar with the earthly tabernacle, its arrangements and services. The Apostle endeavors to show that it was only a type or figure designed to illustrate spiritual truths. There were three...

Asher, (meaning “happy”) a class noted for cheerful constancy even in circumstances apparently not warranting such optimism. The stone the Onyx a stone in which the semitransparent-to-opaque layers are alternately white and dark humus (portraying “humility”) brown or black. It is similar to...

“The Master declared that twelve apostles were to be seated on twelve separate thrones or divisions of power in the Kingdom (Matt 19:28). In all, a total of twelve thousand saints will be assigned to each of twelve separate ranks (Rev 7:5–8). Based on the scriptural information available...

THE JEWELS OF THE BREASTPLATE, THEIR ORDER AND SIGNIFICANCE “Rare indeed are those individuals who, with constancy, ponder upon God’s name and meditate upon the precepts of His Holy Word, and who seek often the fellowship of kindred minds to converse one with another about the great and holy...

THE HIGH PRIEST BREASTPLATE “You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it. It shall be doubled (folded over) into a square: a span...

“Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel in order of their birth, six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal, then mount the stones in gold filigree...
