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 `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...

All the trials and difficulties which the Master underwent in laying down of his life preceded him as a sweet incense, a precious perfume, beyond the veil, into the Most Holy, as shown in the type.” (R 5712) Many students of God’s Word have erroneously assumed that the Apostle’s statement found...

“But while Jesus, as a "new creature," was thus within the "Holy," enjoying the light of the golden candlestick, fed by the bread of truth, and offering acceptable incense to Jehovah, let us look out into the "Court," and yet farther out, beyond the "Camp," and see another work progressing...

“Then he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the LORD, with his hands full of sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil.” (Lev 16:12) “Looking through the type to the antitype, (that is comparing the typical ceremony to the reality) let us now...

“And Aaron (representing our Lord) shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.” (Lev 16:9) “The Lord’s goat (the one for whom the LORD’s lot fell) represented the entire ‘Little Flock’ of the Lord’s faithful followers. They are all alike; they all come...

The Second Atonement Day Sacrifice, the “Lord’s Goat” “And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.” (Lev 16:7, 8)...

There are in fact two viewpoints of the Day of Atonement provided for us in the Scriptures, the first of which is describe in Leviticus Chapter 9 is taken from the standpoint of the flesh, from our viewpoint, while the other as describe in Leviticus Chapter 16 is as these sacrifices are viewed...

Continued from previous post. “Then you shall kill the bull before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of meeting. You shall take some of the blood of the bull and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and pour all the blood beside the base of the altar.” (Exod 29:11, 12)...

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...
