of the headings and paragraphs need to be re-alined. It is taking longer than I expected.. (I am up to Phase.4) Thanks for you patience.
The Table of Shewbread
The Table of Shewbread was a table that was two cubits long, a cubit wide and one and one cubits high. (a cubit is 1.824 ft.). It was made of shittim wood and overlaid with gold. It had a crown around the top of the table. The table also had staves in order for it to travel. On this table there were two rows of bread, which was set in order and eaten by the priests in the Holy Place every Sabbath. (Exod.25:23-30)
1. Table / fellowship / communing
The Table models (i.e. foreshadows) the thought of fellowship and communing with one another. When
Mephibosheth (2Sam.9:13) was invited to continually to eat at king David's table it was an act of kindness and
wanting to get to know him rather than destroying him. David could have destroyed Mephibosheth because he was
the last of Saul's rebellious house, (1Sam.13-2Sam.9) however "David shewed him (Mephibosheth) kindness for
Jonathan's sake." (because of the covenant that
David had made with Johnathan) Compare Eph.2:7 God has shown His "grace in His
kindness towards us through Christ Jesus," (The
New Testament) that we "continually sit at the
King's table (1Cor.10:15-21) We were a
rebellious house, hostile to the things of God.
(Eph.2:1-2, Col.1:21)
a. Fellowship / Communion
The Prophets sat and fellowshipped and
communed with Jezebel at her table.
(1Kings.18:19) "Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal
four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table."
b. Comfort, encouragement, peace
God prepared David a table in the presence of his enemies. (Psa.23:5) "Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." (Psa.23:5-6)
c. Family strength
Family strength, strength, comfort, communication around the table. (Psa.128:3) "Thy wife shall be as a fruitful
vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
d. Fellowship
Fellowship and Communion around the Lord's table. (1Cor.10:21) "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it
not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of
Christ? For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. Behold
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break,
is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all
partakers of that one bread. Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of
the altar?" (1Cor.10:16-18)
2. The bread carries the thought of life
a. Bread / life / Provision
(1) The bread was for the life of Adam
Adam was told that he was to work to get bread. (life Gen.3:19) "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou
return."
(2) Hagar took bread as a life sustaining provision.
Abraham "rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting
it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of
Beer-sheba." (Gen.21:14-15)
(3) The manna (i.e. bread from heaven)
The Jews said, "Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to
eat. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but
my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven." (John.6:31-33, Psa.78:24) This bread sustained the
children of Israel. (Exod.16:10-26)
(4) Bread a sustainer of life.)
The seven years "of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands;
but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. (Gen.41:54-55)
b. Jesus compared Himself with the "manna" and "bread"
He called Himself the "true bread from heaven," (John.6:31-35) that gives life. Jesus took bread, broke it and
said this is my body. (Matt.26:26, 1Cor.10:16) Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone. (Matt.4:4)
3. Why twelve loaves on the Table of Shewbread
Moses was to "take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. And thou shalt
set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the Lord. And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon
each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord." (Lev.24:5-8)
a. Loaves of shewbread
These loaves point to the New Testament
Church the Body of Christ, all being one
bread. (1Cor.10:16-17) "The cup of blessing
which we bless, is it not the communion of
the blood of Christ? The bread which we
break, is it not the communion of the body of
Christ? For we being many are one bread,
and one body: for we are all partakers of
that one bread."
b. Significance of "twelve loaves" Twelve (12) loaves of bread on the Table
representing the twelves tribes of Israel. (Gen.49:1-28, Num.2:1-34) i.e. Church in the Wilderness. (Acts.7:38,
1Cor.10:11) This points to the reality (completion, fulfillment) the New Testament Church.
4. Eaten every seventh day
Aaron (the high priest) was to "put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial,
even an offering made by fire unto the Lord. Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually,
being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant." (Lev.24:7-9)
a. The 1st.Century Church
Once a week, "upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached
unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight." (Acts.20:7-8, 1Cor.10:16-33;
11:20-34)
(1) During the week it was "house to house."
The early Church, "continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to
house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart." (Acts.2:46-47)
(2) Corporate gathering, once a week Communion
Wherefore, "my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let
him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I
come." (1Cor.11:33)
b. Only eaten by the priests
And "it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the
offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual statute." (Lev.24:9-10)
(1) We are the priesthood
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." (1Peter.2:5-6, Rev.1:6; 5:10)
(2) Aaron (the high priest) ate the shewbread bread with them
The apostle said, "I have received of the Lord (Gal.1:11-12) that which also I delivered unto you, That the
Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it,
and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me." (1Cor.11:23-25)
(3) Only in the Holy Place
(Review: Page.3 for details "Prophetic measurements of the Tabernacle")
5. The Shewbread was called the "memorial bread."
Jesus took the bread and said, "Take eat: this is my body...do this in remembrance of me." (Lev.24:7, 1Cor.10:25,
Matt.26:26-29)
6. To summarize the Table of Shewbread
The Table of Shewbread points to our fellowship and "communion of the body of Christ." (1Cor.10:16) Locally and
universally. As the priest "set" the loaves of bread "in order before the Lord" (Lev.24:5-9) every Sabbath, (i.e. once a
week) the "royal priesthood" of the New Testament came together once a week "to break bread" (Acts.20:7,1
1Cor.16:2) fulfilling the pattern. (i.e. blueprint) Note: The Shewbread was replaced every week and the candlestick
was filled with oil and the lamps trimmed and incense offered on the Golden Altar daily, every morning and evening.
(Exod.30:7) This is the pattern for our everyday job description as "royal" priests (1Peter.2:5,9) in the "true"
Tabernacle that the Lord pitched and not man.(Heb.8:1-5)
a. Note the chart opposite. Click here for explanation of chart below)
The Table of Shewbread is placed opposite the Candlestick in the Holy Place. (Note: Every piece of furniture in the Tabernacle of Moses was
set "strategically" (deliberately, tactically, purposefully) set by God's
instructions to Moses. (Exod.40:1-38) The same is true for the
"truths"
contained in each piece of furniture)
b. Church history reveals
After the Pentecostal movement was followed by the Charismatic
movement. (1967-70's AD.) This was God pouring out His Spirit
across denominational lines. It became the Communion of the Body
of Christ. (Note: "For we being many are one bread, i.e. the
12 loaves of Shewbread.)
c. From this (1967-70's AD) "present truth" came
No Charismatic denomination, but many fellowships, Christian
Centers and net working of like minded Fellowships which are very
much like a small denominations.
______________________________________________________________
Note: (Phase 9) will add a third pattern establishing that God is
abiding by His patterns.
The Golden Altar of Incense
On this Altar there was to be "no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat (i.e. food offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon." (Exod.30:9) It was made of shittim wood, a cubit (1.824 ft.) in length, and a cubit in breadth, foursquare and two cubits high. (Exod.30:2) This Altar had horns, a crown and staves to carry it. The whole Altar was overlaid with Gold. (Exod.30:1-9) Every morning and evening Aaron would take burning coals from the Brazen Altar, (Exod.30:7-8, Lev.24:1-4) place them in a golden censer and carry them into the Holy Place. Then he would put the burning coals upon the Golden Altar, and "put the incense Exod.33:34-38) upon the fire." This would produced a cloud that ascended up before the Lord. (Lev.16:12-13)
1. Incense cloud is a blueprint (model, type) of our Praise and Worship.
David said, "Let my prayer (to be intercession, supplication, by implication a hymn. Strong's) be set forth before
thee as incense..." (Psa.141:2) The apostle John saw the angel under the seventh seal offering incense with the
prayers of the saints. (Rev.8:3)
2. The incense cloud produced by burning coals.
These "burning coals" came from the Brazen Altar, (i.e. the atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ) So it is in our
Worship and Praise, it begins with being redeemed by the blood of Christ. Anything else is "strange fire."
(Lev.10:1-2) Aaron's two sons took fire from "another" source and it was rejected.(Note: 2Cor.11:1-7)
Our worship and praise must have it's foundation in the atonement of Christ. (Note: The "Peace Offering,")
3. How the incense was made.
It was made up of "sweet spices, stacte...onycha..galbanum...with frankincense: of each shall there be a like
weight." (Exod.30:34) The pattern has not changed, there must be balance. (Prov.11:1; 16:11) in our worship.
4. To Summarize the Golden Altar of Incense
The Golden Altar of Incense points to (foreshadows) our morning and evening worship, (Psa.141:2) according to
the pattern that God gave king David. (1Chron.28:19, 1Cor.14:26, Eph.5:19, Col.3:16)
a. Note: The chart opposite. (Click here for explanation of chart)
The Table of Shewbread (Candlestick and the
Altar of Incense) parallel Israel's journey from Mt. Sinai up to the time of king David,
b. Church History reveals
Since to 70's through to the 80's there was a great change in worship
and music in the Church. (David's Tabernacle / Altar of Incense) This
is not a strange thing, it is according to the pattern. This (David's
Tabernacle / Altar of Incense) is where the Church to Body of Christ
has matured to (Eph.4:11-16, 1Cor.13:9-12) in the last thirty years,
(approximately half an hour+ before the Lord 2Peter.3:8-9)
Review Phase 2 "What was David's Tabernacle?"
c. From this (1970's - 80's AD) "present truth" came
Many nondenominational groups. The Charismatic Fellowships,
Church networking, Church Family groups.
__________________________________________________________________
Note: (Phase 9) will add a third pattern establishing that God is
abiding by His patterns.
.
A Review of the Tab. floor plan and Church History
1. Begins with the Outer Court Fence and Brazen Altar
It begins with the fence bringing us to the gate and the Brazen Altar. This parallels Israel being delivered by the
Passover Lamb. Our Redemption. This is the restoration of the truth, Justification by Faith. (Repentance from dead
works and faith towards God. Heb.6:1-3, Rom.1:17) The Reformation. (1517 AD.) (Review: The Build Code for the Church)
2. Next was the Brazen Laver
The Brazen Laver parallels the Red Sea. This is the restoration of Water Baptism by immersion. (1800's AD.) and
the Ana-baptists (the rebaptizes) Note: The early Church came as far as David's Tabernacle, and turned around
and back-slid out of God's Purpose to Egypt.
After entering the Tabernacle building (i.e. The Sanctuary, Holy Place) the priest (1Peter.2:5-9, Rev.1:6; 5:10)
was confronted with three pieces of furniture. The Candlestick, Table of Shewbread and the Altar of Incense. These were
"purposefully" set in their place in the Holy Place. (Exod.40:1-38) Remember, this is a example (model) of heaven itself self.
(Heb.8:1-5; 9:1-26)
3. Next the Candlestick
The Candlestick and the door of the Tabernacle parallels Mt. Sinai, which points to the Baptism of the Holy
Spirit because Sinai is compared to Jerusalem, (Gal.4:22-31) which was where the anointing (oil) was poured out
on the day of Pentecost. (Acts.2:1-4) This was restored in 1906 AD. (Review Phase 2, p.3 of 4)
Note: When looking back into Church History
It is plain to see that God has been abiding exactly according to the
pattern of The Tabernacle of Moses and Israel's journey from Egypt to the Land, and ultimately, Solomon's Temple.
Comparing both these patterns
This will bring the realization that there is a ultimate goal for both patterns. (Solomon's Temple / Most Holy Place)
Also it is not a coincidence
Solomon dedicated the Temple in the "Feast that was in the 7th, month,(2Chron.5:3) which is the only time that the high priest could go into the Most Holy Place on the day of atonement.
The reality of this pattern, is what's ahead for the Church in these last days.
4. Now the beginning and end of the pattern has been establish
The significance of the Altar of Incense and Table of Shewbread becomes rich in truth.
a. The Golden Altar of Incense
This parallels that of Davids Tabernacle because they both carry the truth of Worship and Praise. Think on this.
The revelation of worship given to Moses carried them from Sinai to David. Then David ushered in a new order
that was to be included in Solomon's Temple. (Note: On the chart above. This parallels the Golden Altar of
Incense.
b. The Table of Shewbread
This parallels that of the Church in the wilderness and their fellowship and communion with God as they journey
to the land and their ultimate purpose, Solomon's Temple
For the last 100+ years (1906 -2010 AD.)
The Church has been experiencing the reality of the truths of Holy Spirit Baptism, (i.e. the Candlestick) the
Communion and fellowship of the Body of Christ (i.e. the Table of Shewbread) and a greater understanding of
Worship and music in the Church. (i.e. the Golden Altar of Incense)
Note: This is only "as" 2½ hours "with the Lord." (2Peter.3:8, Psa.90:4)
The pattern / blueprint / model / shadow does not stop at the Altar of Incense. There is more! God cannot
deny Himself, (2Tim.2:13, Jam.1:17) He is committed to this pattern and will finish, because He is a finisher!
(Luke.14:25-33, Phil.1:6)
Next was the Vial of the Tabernacle
Moses was instructed to make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made: And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the Vail shall divide unto you between the holy place (i.e. Their everyday living and function as Priests before the Lord) and the most holy. (The one time a year that the high priest went through the Vail into the Most Holy) (Exod.26:31-33)
1. The "Vail" is a shadow (i.e. a model, ensample, type) of the Cross
It is a picture of the full and complete price that Jesus paid for our redemption. (Heb.10:20, Matt.27:50-51,
1Cor.11:24, Isa.53:5)
a. The Vail "signifies"
Hebrews says the Vail was "signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest," (Heb.9:8)
while the first Tabernacle was yet standing. When Jesus came He fulfilled what the Vail signified and made "a
new and living way...through the veil, that is to say, his flesh" (Heb.10:20)
b. The Vail directs us to the Cross
This was confirmed when Jesus, "yielded up the Ghost...behold the veil of the temple was rent in twain (two)
from top to bottom." (Matt.27:50-51) God's presence was no longer in the earthly Temple.2 (Acts.7:47-48,
1Cor.6:19, 1Tim.3:15-16)
2. The Vail gave access to God's presence
The only way of entering God presence is through the Cross (i.e. The Vail) and the Redemptive blood of Christ.
(Heb.10:20, John.14:6) Note: In our daily walk before the Lord Jesus Christ atones for our sin, (Brazen Altar) He
washes us with His Word, (Laver) He continually fills us with His Spirit, (The Candlestick) provides Himself as the
bread of life, (Table of Shewbread) and provides the foundation to praise and worship God. (The Golden
Altar of Incense)
3. Under the New Testament
Under the New Testament (Covenant) we have access in "time of need," (Heb.4:16) through the Vail, because
Jesus "fulfilled" (i.e. completed) the shadow of the Vail. (Matt.5:17-19) Under the Old Covenant (Testament) Aaron
(the high priest) could only come through the Vail once every year (Lev.16:1-34) "until the time of reformation" ( i.e.
until the time that Christ and fulfilled the Law, because it was incomplete and could "never...take away sins."
(Heb.10:1-4)
To Summarize the Vail
The Vail "signifies" the total commitment of Jesus to His Father's will. Nevertheless "not as I will, but as thou wilt. (Matt.26:39) God desires the same commitment from us as we walk before Him, in everything we do. God the Father
is seeking a Bride for His Son that will be totally committed to His purpose and will.
Click here for details concerning chart
1. Note: The Chart opposite
The Vail parallels the time of David preparing for Solomon to build the
Temple, and our present day. (Review: Phase 2, p.1 of 4)
2. There is NO Church history to compare
There is no History to this this part of the pattern, because we presently
are living the reality of this. Some may scoff and say, "all things continue
as they were from the beginning," as they did in Peter's day. (2Peter.3:3)
Nevertheless, the answer is still the same. "But, beloved, be not ignorant
of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and
a thousand years as one day." (Psa.90:4)
The Lord is NOT slack (tardy, late) He is right on schedule.
(2Peter.3:1-9)
No wonder the our life of span (70 years Psa.90:10) is "as the flower of
grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away." It has
only been about half a day (around lunch time) before the Lord since
the reformation in 1517 AD.
The reality of the "Vail" is what's ahead for the Church!
Since the Reformation, (1517 AD.) God has been faithfully building the Church according to the pattern of Israel's journey and the Tabernacle of Moses. This means that He will be faithful to finish the remainder of the blueprint / pattern because God is a finisher! (Luke.14:25-33) To finish or complete the pattern, means the Church is committed to going through the Vail, i.e. fulfilling the reality of the truths of the Vail.
1. Some may say,"I thought I have access to the Most Holy at any time."
Why are we still coming to this conclusion of the pattern?" (Heb.4:16; 10:20) The answer is, the Tabernacle pattern
is like a measuring stick (tape measure) to build with. When overlaying Church History with the Tabernacle pattern
it places us at the Altar of Incense, ready to go through the Vail.3 (Review: Building Code for the Church)
Click here for explanation of chart
2. The "truth"of the Vail was to divide. 
The Cross will always bring a division. (Luke.14:25-33, Matt.10:35,
2Cor.2:15-17 ) This division comes from resisting Christ and all that He
is.5 The Cross is foolishness to the intellectual,7 the scholar, and to
the wisdom of this world. (1Cor.1:19-29; 2:1-14)
The apostle Paul says, "Where is the wise?" (1Cor.1:20-29; 2:1-14) He
said, "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ." (Gal.6:14, Phil.3:1-8)
What God is about to do in the Church,
The wisdom of men will reject, because (the spiritual things of God) are
"foolishness" unto this world. neither can they world know them.
(1Cor.2:14)
They are "spiritually discerned."
Remember: What Noah built made no sense to those that dismissed
God's warning and instruction. (Matt.24:36-39)
3. There is a division10 coming
There is a division coming in the Church world! The division will come
over the message of the "Vail." (i.e. Total commitment, denial of self,
death to selfish desires. Unfortunately, today some of the Church has become like Laodicea, comparing themselves
to themselves (1Cor.1:10-13; 3:1-15, 2Cor.10:12) shutting Christ out. (Rev.3:14-22) Jesus wants to marry a Bride
that is totally committed to him BEFORE the wedding!4 This means we will be like Him. (1John.3:2,
2Cor.3:18, Rom.8:29, Eph.4:11-16; 5:21-33) (Review: Phase 2, P1 of 4 "What happened to the Church can be compared to the life of Samson.")
4. We are to take up our cross and follow Jesus
Jesus explains what it means to bear our cross and to "come after" Him.
a. "For which of you, intending to build a tower" (Luke.14:28)
This takes a vision of where you are going. "Without a vision (i.e. an oracle. A God-given vision) the people
perish (wander aimlessly) Prov.29:18. What vision do you have? Do you have a God-given vision, or do you have
your own self made vision with some scriptures mixed in.? The "ensample"(1Cor.10:11) of the journey of Israel is
the "oracle"(1Peter.4:11) that we should have, because without it we will "wander aimlessly" in these last days.
b. Sit down first. (Rest) (Luke.14:28)
Stop your business like Martha, (Luke.10:38-42) take time sit 
at the
feet of Jesus and wait upon the Lord. (Isa.40:31) i.e. Take time to see
what He wants to do. (Note: Abraham and Sarah had a promise from
God (Gen.15:1-21; 16:1-14) but failed to relax and let it come to pass,
and produced Ishmael. Today much of the Church world is "cumbered
about, "i.e. distracted with the cares of this world, as Martha was.
(Luke.10:40) We have all kinds of (Ishmael) ideas (Gen.15:1-5;16:1-6;
17:15-22) and programs,8 rather than being like Mary who had
"chosen that good part."
c. Count the cost" (Luke.14:28)
Are we willing to pay the price to build? This can only be determined if
you know what I am are building! (This requires a pattern or blueprint
1Cor.3:1-15) The admonition is don't start if you are not going to
finish! (Luke.14:29, Eccl.5:1-7) Samson, (a type of the Church from
the 1st.Century until now9) was not finishing and they mocked (made
sport of) him. (Judges.13:1-5) The apostle Paul said, "I have finished
my course." (2Tim.4:7) Jesus told the Church at Laodicea that He
wanted them to hot or cold, otherwise He would "spue"(vomit) them
out of His mouth. (Rev.3:15-16)
The price is obedience, "nevertheless not as I will, but as thou
wilt. (Matt 26:39)
The five wise virgins (Matt.25:1-13, 2Cor.11:3) paid the price for
the oil, (anointing / candlestick) but the five foolish wanted it to be given (Click here for "Conclusion")
to them. The cost is laying aside your ideas, goals, vision, purpose, plans and all your achievements. "For we are
members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones...This is a great mystery: but I speak of Christ and the
Church." (Eph.5:30-33) Note: How Paul goes back to the first Adam and Eve. (1Cor.15:45, 2Cor.11:1-3)
It is no coincidence that David paid the full price (1Chron.17:1-15; 21:18-27; 2Chron.3:1- 2) for the foundation for
the next and final move of the Church in the wilderness.
Note: It was during the reign of David that he prepared for the Temple to be built. The final phase of Israel's journey.
This is where David voluntarily paid the "full price" for the building site.

5. The high priest was the only one qualified to enter through the vail.
(Lev.16:1-34, Heb.9:7) This is why Jesus gave the gift of the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher
(Eph.4:11-16) to perfect (complete, mature) the saints that they would grow up to the full measure of the stature of
Christ (our High Priest). This will qualify those to go through the Vail and complete (perfect) the pattern / blueprint.
Next: The Most Holy Place (The Holiest, Holiest of all)
(continued on Phase 4 Page 3 of 3)
______________________________
1. Why did the early Church meet on the first day of the week and not the Sabbath? (Review "Questions and Answers" #4) They celebrated the "first day of the week" because Jesus arose "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week.
2. In fact Ezekiel saw it leave before Judah went into captivity. (Eze.10:18) The next place the Cloud of God's Glory come back was on the Temple of the Body of Christ. (Matt.17:1-6, John.2:18-20)
3. It begins with Luther / Brazen Altar, (1517 AD.) then to the Ana-Baptists / The Laver, (1800's AD.) then to Azusa Street and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit / Candlestick, (!906 AD.) the Eph.4:11 ministries and the Laying on of hands and Prophecy, (1948 AD.) then the Charismatic move and the fellowship and communion of the Body of Christ / The Table of Shewbread, (1970-80's + AD.) then to the revelation of Worship and Praise coming to all those that thirsted for it./ The Golden Altar of Incense. (190-2009? AD.) This places the Church today making preparation to go through the Vail (i.e. fulfill the reality of the truths of vail)
4. With the Most Holy Place and Solomon's Temple being at the end of the pattern / blueprint, (that God has been committed to since the Reformation), they become a shadow (type, model, blueprint) of the Marriage, because it is the end of God's Redemptive plan. Before The Most Holy Place was THE VAIL and all the truths that it foreshadows
5. This is why I use the King James Bible, because our modern translations have corrupted the Greek Text by leaving out scriptures, and changing scriptures concerning Christ's Deity. (All that He is)

7. This is not to say that being educated (having degrees, diploma's etc.) is wrong, because the apostle Paul was highly educated in his time. The balance is to keep your wisdom in this world in it's proper place. (Phil.3:1-8) The priority is spending time with Jesus (Acts.4:13) and having God's anointing upon His Word. When Moses was called out by God to lead His people out of Egypt to the Land, he spent time of the desert to separated himself self from "all the wisdom of the Egyptians." (Acts.7:22, Exod.2-4 / Note:Exod.4:10 with Acts.7:22 and compare this with Paul (1Cor.2:1-4)
8. The tower of Babel had the outward appearance a great purpose, "let us build a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven." (Gen.11:4) What a goal! They were all had one mind, one language. However it was opposed to God. (Gen.11:1-9) Saul saved the best of the Amalekites "sheep and oxen to sacrifice unto the Lord," when he should have destroyed all of them and their cattle. (1Sam.15:15) It appeared the Saul was honoring the Lord, but he was in rebellion to God. (1Sam.15:22-23) It is interesting that God does require the "best" to be offered to Him,(Mal.1:6-8, Lev.22:21-23) but not the best our human wisdom. (Rom.8:1-8) Cain appeared to be worshiping the Lord with an offering, but his "works were evil." (1John.3:12)

10. Jesus said the "good ground" will develop into three categories. 100, 60 and 30 Church history reveals the 30. These are those that preach and teach Salvation, Water Baptism and a holy a separate walk with the Lord. (This is the Brazen Altar / Passover, and the Brazen Laver / The Red Sea) The 60 fold IS PRESENTLY BEING FORMED. These are those that preach all the truths of the 30 fold, and have continued to follow the Lord in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit which includes (a) The Gifts of the Spirit, (b) The Eph.4:11 ministries,(c) The laying on of hands and prophecy. (This is the Candlestick / Mt.Sinai) Note: Heb.6:1-3; 13:8. This 60 fold has continued on in the fellowship and communion of the Body of Christ, (The Table of Shewbread / Israel's journey from Sinai into the Land) and have entered into the pattern of Worship that God gave David. (The Golden Altar of Incense. THE TRUTHS OF THE VAIL WILL DIVIDE between the 60 and the 100. Be alert and move on with God and do not stay behind. It is those that stay behind that cause the division, not those the go on.
