The Most Holy Place, The Holiest, The Holiest of all

The Most Holy Place was a room, 10 cubits wide,10 cubits high and 10 cubits high. This is where the presence of God dwelt, between the two cherubims above the mercy seat, which was upon the Ark of the Covenant. This was where God said He would "meet with " Moses  "and communed with him "from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things" which God gave in "commandment unto the children of Israel." (Exod.25:10-22)



1.  The Ark of the Covenant is a shadow of the 
     throne of God. (Heb.9:24)
     For "Christ is not entered into the holy places  
     made with hands, (Lev.16:1-34) which are the 
     figures (i.e. types, shadows, model)1 of the true;  
     (Heb.8:1-5) but into heaven itself, now the 
     appear in the presence of God for us." 
     (Heb.3:1; 9:7; 8:1;12:2)

2.  The Mercy Seat foreshadows Christ.
     The apostle John said that Christ "is the 
     propitiation (i.e. The Mercy Seat)2 for our
     sins" (Rom.3:25, 1John.2:2) On the day of 
     atonement the high priest was to sprinkle 
     the blood with his finger seven times upon the 
     Ark to make a atonement for the sins of the 
     people. (Lev.16:14-16) This was "a figure for 
     the time then present" until the time of reformation.(i.e. until the time that Christ came)3  When
     Jesus came He fulfilled (completed) the pattern of the high priest "once for all." (Heb.10:1-10) 
     Jesus did not destroy this pattern (Matt.5:17-19) because it is a example of "heaven itself." 
     (Heb.9:24)  This pattern explains to us what Jesus is doing NOW! Without this pattern, all we have 
     is vain imaginations!

3.  Inside the Ark were judgments against Israel.
     Inside the Ark of the Covenant was the Golden pot of manna, (Num.11:1-23) Aaron's rod that 
     budded (Num.17:1-13) and the two tables of stone. (Exod.19-40, Heb.9:4)  The only thing that 
     protected them from the wrath of God was the blood stained mercy seat. Today, the only one that 
     stands between us and the wrath of God, (John.3:36, Psa.7:11) is Christ our "propitiation." 
     (1John.2:2, Rom.3:25) our mercy seat.

4.  God's voice was heard from above the Mercy seat, between the two cherubims.
     This is a pattern of "heaven itself." (Heb.8:1-5; 9:24) God's voice today is only heard through our 
     Mercy Seat, The Lord Jesus Christ. (1Tim.2:5, John.14:6, 2Tim.2:13)  There are "many kinds of 
     voices in the world,"(1Cor.14:10) but God's voice is only heard through Jesus. Any other voice is 
     "another Jesus."4 (2Cor.11:1-7)
     a.  Any voice that denies Christ's Deity ( i.e. that Jesus was God manifest in the flesh) is not 
          God's voice. (1John.4:1-5, 1Tim.3:15-16, John.5:17-18; 17:5, Isa.42:8, John.1:1, Heb.1:2)
          (This why Phase 1 is important because in the "last days" there are many voices / translations
          that are saying "Yea hath God said.")6
     b.  Any voice that denies redemption in Christ's blood is not God's voice. (Matt.26:28, 
          Acts.20:28, Rom.3:25 ["propitiation"- Mercy Seat5], Rom.5:9, Eph.1:7; 2:13, Col.1:14, 
          Heb.9:22, Lev.17:11)
     c.  Any voice that would add anything to the Redemption of Christ is not God's voice. (Gal.1:6-8)
     d.  Any voice that denies God's Word is not God's voice. (2Tim.2:13, Num.23:19)

5.  Note: The Chart opposite
     The Most Holy Place and Solomon's Temple parallel 
     each other in the blueprint.
     ________________________________________

     There is no Church history to parallel the Most Holy 
     Place with because the Church is still coming to the
     completion (or "perfection"- Eph.4:11-16) of the 
     pattern / blueprint. 
     
     (Review: The Building code for the Church)

     The only time Aaron went into the Most Holy was 
     on "the day"(Heb.10:25) of atonement. This was 
     once a year. (Heb.9:7) After this feast in the seventh
     month, the Church in the wilderness began over again
     with the Feast of Passover in the first month.
     (Lev.23:1-44)

     It is established that the Spirit of God is committed to
     completing (i.e. perfecting - Eph.4:13) the pattern 
     and will not be repeating it because there is no more 
     time left in God's Redemptive Week.  "Therefore let 
     us not sleep as do others; but let us watch and be 
     sober."  (1Thes.5:6)

6.  The day of Atonement is in the Feast of Tabernacles.
     There were three times in the year "the Church in the wilderness" had to appear before the Lord 
     in the Feast of Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles.This feast was at "the end of the year."
     (Exod.23:14-16) It was the end (the completion, perfecting) of the pattern. (Deut.16:16, Lev.23:1-
     44) (Review: Phase 11 ) This parallels Solomon's Temple because it was the end of the pattern of 
     Israel's journey and it was dedicated in the feast that was in the seventh month. (2Chron.5:3) 

The Day of atonement was a day when "the Church in the wilderness" stood completely clean of all sin for the entire year. It was a day when  the Sanctuary was cleansed because of the collective sin of the Nation of Israel.

There is no doubt the Church has sin in it. (i.e. spots, wrinkles and blemishes, (Eph.5:26-27)
and it needs to be cleansed.

Why?

Answer: Christ cannot take a Bride that has sin in it, because He would be unequally yoked.
(2Cor.6:14-18)

Some believe this will be taken care of in "the twinkling of an eye." (1Cor.15:51-52)

The "twinkling of an eye" is only speaking of our "mortal bodies" being changed to "immortality." It is not speaking of our spiritual stature.(1Cor.15:1-55) It is the responsibility of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher (Eph.4:11-16) to mature the Church into "a glorious church not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." (Eph.5:25-27 i.e. Ready to be The Bride, The Last Eve 2Cor.11:3, Eph.5:21-34) 

7.  This day was a day of unity
     More notes coming.

The Prophetic measurements of the Tabernacle
(Review: The Building Code for the Church)
Keep in mind, that Jesus fulfilled every "jot"7 and "title"8 of the Tabernacle. He did not destroy any of it! (Matt.5:17-19) They continue in their reality9 in Christ. This means that these "jots" and "tittles" continue on in the New Testament Church because Christ is the head of the Church which is His Body. (Eph.1:22-23, Col.1:17-18, 1Cor.12:1-31)

1.  The area of the Holy Place was a total of 2000 cubits.
     It was 20 cubits long x 10 cubits high x 10 cubits wide which equals 2,000 cubits. 
     This parralels the 5th. and 6th. day of God's Redemptive Week.
     a.  This was where the Candlestick was placed was foreshadows the Church with the 
          anointing of God continually in it.
     b.  The Table of Shewbread which foreshadows the communion and fellowship of the 
          saints until He comes. (1Cor.11:26)
     c.  The Golden Altar of Incense which foreshadows our Worship, Prayer and 
          Praise. (Psa.141:2, Rev.8:1-4)

                                                                                 (click here for expanation of the seven days)



2.  The Most Holy Place was at total of 1000 Cubits.
      It was 10 cubits wide, 10 cubits high and 10 cubits long. This parralels the 1000 years rest after 
      Jesus returns. (i.e. The Millenium)     

3.  Where are these dimensions in scripture?
     These dimensions are concluded from the lenght, breadth and number of boards found in the 
     Tabernacle. Then the placement of the vail is determined by the coverings that overlaid the boards
     of the Tabernacle.


4.  The Outer court was a total of 1500 Cubits
     The lenght of the Outer Court fence was "one hundred (100) cubits long for the south side and a 
     100 cubits long for the west) side:" (Exod.27:9) The breadth of the court on the west was 50 cubits 
      and 50 cubits for the  East side. (Exod.27:13) The height was five (5) cubits. (Exod.27:18) 
      When multiplying these numbers it comes to 1500 cubits. (i.e. Total lenght 300 cu. x height of 5 
      cu.=1500)


To be continued "For we know in part......" (1Cor.13:9-12, John.16:12-15, 1Cor.2:1-14)

2. Rom.3:25 Propitiation in the Greek is an expiatory (place or thing), i.e. (concretely) an atoning victim, or (specially) the lid of the Ark (in the Temple): 1John.2:2 Propitiation is atonement, i.e. (concretely) an expiator: This is also the SAME Greek word translated "mercy seat" in Heb.9:5.

3.  Reformation, meaning to straighten thoroughly; rectification, i.e. (specially) the Messianic restoration: Strong's Greek Dictionary

4. Lucifer's (Satan, the Devil, the Serpent - Rev.12:9) purpose is to "like the Most High." (Isa.14:11-14) Satan's man of sin will shew "himself that he is God."(2Thes.2:4) Today the "revisionist" have redefined the word "Jesus" to mean what they want it to be. They turned "the grace of our God into lasciviousness...denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ."(Jude.1:4) They are bringing into the Church "damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them." (2Peter.2:1)

6. Just as the serpent stood before the first Eve (Gen.3:1-3, 1 Cor.15:45-46, 2 Cor.11:3 / Eph.5:21-33) and provoked her into changing God's Word, (Gen.2:16-17; 3:2-3) he will stand before the Church (the last Eve, the Rev.12 Woman, the Bride) and try to the same without success. The "seed of the woman" will bruise the serpents head. However the serpent will bruise his heel. (Gen.3:15) There will be a fallen away (2Thes.2:3 i.e. "his tail drew a third part of the stars -Rev.12:4) because "they received not the love of the truth." (2Thes.2:10 i.e. That God ONLY speaks through Jesus Christ OUR MERCY SEAT, not the antichrist)
