Pertaineth (i.e. belongs) the Glory
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I (the apostle Paul) say the truth in Christ, I lie not,[0] my conscience also bearing me witness in the
Holy Ghost, That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites;(Rom.10:1) to
whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and theservice
of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is
over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.” (Rom.9:1-5)
I. Who Pertaineth (belongs to)[0]
A. Paul's "kinsmen according to the flesh: Who are Israelites"were given (i.e. committed / entrusted
withas a steward)[0]the glory(that filled the Tabernacle - Exod.40:1-38, Rom.8:18, 2Cor.3:1-18,
Eph.2:22; 4:11-16, 5:21-32, Phil.3:1-8, Heb.9:1-28; 10:1-25, 1Peter.1:10-12 / Acts.3:18-24,
Rev.10:7; 11:15)
1. This was because of the covenant that God made with Abraham (Gen.12:1-2; 15:1-22; 17:1-15,
John.8:12-56, Gal.3:1-29; 4:21-28)
a. God was not respecting their person.(Exod.2:23-25, Lev.19:15; Acts.10:34)
(1) Notice: God heard their groaning (Exod.2:24, 2Chron.16:9,2Peter.3:9, John.3:16)
(2) God was respecting His covenant(Exod.2:23-45, Matt.26:26-35, Eph.2:11-19, Heb.6:13-20)
b. NOTE the example of Israel's deliverance from Egypt. God said, "when I see the blood
I will Passover you"(Exod.12:1-14.v.13,1Cor.5:7-8, 1Peter.18-20)
(1) God respected the blood[0] applied to the door of their house which provided protection
for anyone (or "whosoever") in the house.(Exod.12:43-51,) Foreshadowing Christ our
Passover Lamb.
(2) NOTE: The provision for the "stranger" (a foreigner:—alien, sojourner, stranger][0] those
outside the covenants(Exod.12:48, Lev.16:29, Num. Eph.2:12,19)
c. When Paul's "kinsmen after the flesh "Exod.19:1-3,v.16, Rom.9:5) arrived at Sinai they became
"stewards"[0]over God's Glory and the Oracles (Exod.1-40, Lev.1-27, Deut.1-34, Num.1-10,
Acts.7:1-38, Rom.3:1-2, Heb.5:12, 1Peter.4:11) Theydid not own the oracles, they were to be
faithfuland accountable for it.[0]History shows they did not.(Isa.56:7,Matt.15:1-9; 21:13,
Rom.10:18-21)
B. The Glory (pertains / belongs to) Paul's "kinsmen according to the flesh" Matt.1:1-17, Rom.9:5)[0]
were given the privilege to be stewards of God's Glory as it (the Law, the schoolmaster) brought
them to Christ. (Gal.3:24)However they took ownership, and made it their own. [0]
1. The "Glory" was given to the "Jew first?" (see chart below)
a. This is because of covenant that God made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.[0]
(Review: PHASE.2, P.2) [NOTE: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were not Jews)[0]
b. The Gentiles were not yet grafted into the good (cultivated) olive tree[0](Rom.11:1-25) which
was (and is still) God's plan / intent / purpose before the foundation of the world. Peter
writes, it was foreordained (to know beforehand, i.e. foresee:—foreknow (ordain), know)[0]
(Gen.1:1-2, John.1:1-14, Eph.1:4; 2:1-22; 3:1-12, 1Peter.1:18-20)
2. "And also to the Gentile"(Rom.2:10-11)
a. The Gentile (stranger / Allien / foreigner) were included "if they will keep the Passover to the Lord,
let all his males be circumcised,[0] and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one
that isborn in the land:[0] for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law shall be to him
that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you." (Exod.12:43-51, Eph.2:11-19)
(1) This is in harmony with God's "intent" from the beginning of the World. (Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12)
(2) No stranger outside the covenants of promise (Exod.12:43-51; 30:33, Lev.17:7-9;
19:33-35, Acts.2:10, Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12)
3. Paul told the Corinthian Church and Church at Ephesus
There was a "Glory" of the ministration of death, (that pertained the his kinsmen (Israelites)
after the flesh) but there is a ministration of the Spirit that is far greater than the "Glory" that
Moses experienced. This is "the hope of Glory" in the saints (Jew and Gentile together as ONE
MAN, ONE PLAN) (Exod.34:33, Rom.8:18, 2Cor.3:1-18, Eph.5:26-27, 1Peter.1:10-12)This is confirmed
by the Vail / Veil of the Temple being "rent" (ripped in two Matt.27:50-51), revealing the God's Glory /
presence was gone[0] (Gal.3:24, Heb,9:1-10) NOTE: Ezekiel saw the Glory depart many generations
earlier. (Eze.1:1-3; 10:18)
II. The first mention (History) of theglory
A. Was when the glory of the Lord; appeared in the cloud. (Exod.16:7-10)
B. After (the church in the wildernessActs.7:38, 1Cor.10:1-11) arrived at Mt. Sinai “the gloryof
the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he
(God) called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. (Exodus 19:1, 16; 24:16, Gal.4:21-31,
Heb.12:18-24)
C. The sight of theglory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of The mount in the eyes of the
children of Israel. (Exod.24:17, 2Cor.3:1-18) (NOTE: The Cloud / Glory / Future)
D. NOTE: The New Testament Church is told NOT to “ignore”[0] that they (the Church in
the wildernessActs.7:38) were all “baptized under Moses in the cloud”(Exod.12-14, 1Cor.10:1-11, Rom.15:4,
2Tim.3:16-17[0])This is important if we want to be lead by the Spirit of God (the reality / fulfillment of the
cloud [0]John.16:10-15, Luke.24:49, Acts.2:1, Rom.8:1-9, 1Cor.2:1-14)
E. NEXT: God called Moses “up to the top of the mount(Exod.19-24) and told Moses “Let them make me a
sanctuary that I may dwell (Tabernacle amongst them) (Exod.25:8; 40:1-38) “…according to the pattern,
which was shewed (Shown) thee (you) in the mount” (Exod.25:40, Matt.5:17-19, Gal.3:24, Heb.8:1-5; 9:1-23)
(Review: PHASE. 4, Page. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13)
F. Tabernacle of Moses was the first "Sanctuary" since sin entered the world (Gen.-Exod.25:8, Rom.5:10-21)
NOTE:As you readfrom Genesis to Revelation, God has required a "dwelling Place." In the Old Covenant...
1. There was the Tabernacle of Moses (Filled with God's Glory Exod.40:1-38) 2Cor.3:1-18) This "present
truth" (i.e. the truth that is near) of how to handle God's Glory / Presence / in the Most Holy Place)
carried Israel into the Land until it was set up at Shiloh[0](Josh.18:13)
2. Then the Tabernacle of David (The transition time to the resting place / Solomon's Temple)
3. And finally The Temple that Solomon built. (Filled with God's Glory Exod.)
4. These structures collectively provide a blueprint of how Jesus is going to build His Church.
(Exod.19-40 - Josh.18:1-Chron., John.2:18-20, Mark.14:58, Acts.7:47-48, 17:24, Eph.2:1-22; 4:11-16,
1Peter.2:5-9)
G. Review: From Adam to Moses there was no earthly Sanctuary(Rom.5:10-15)
1. "Wherefore, as by one man (the first Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (Rom.3:23) For until the law sin was in the world:
but sin is not imputed (or not taken into account) when there is no law. (there wasno Law until Moses
Exod.19-40, Lev.1-27, Heb.9:1-29; 10:1-25, Rom.7:1-14) Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses,
even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of
him (the last Adam JESUS Dan.9:1-27,1Peter.1:18-20) that was to come." (Gen.2:7-25, Rom.5:10-14,
NOTE: Eph.3:5, Gal.1:11-12)
2. Nevertheless they (Gen.5:1-32) were accountable (from Adam to Moses)
a. For the knowledge that God created the heaven and the earth (Gen.1:1,
Psa.19:1-3, Rom.1:20)
b. For the knowledge that the first man Adam and Eve was created on the 6th day.
(Gen.1:26-31, 1Cor.15:45-46, 2Cor.11:1-3)
c. They knew about the Garden of Eden. (It was still there for all to see)
d. They knew there needed to be the shedding of blood to cover their sin. (Gen.4:1-4,
Lev.17:11, Heb.9:1-29; 10:1-25)
e. They understood that offerings are to be brought (Gen.4:1-4, 1John.3:12, Heb.11:4)
f. Men were calling on the the name of the Lord (Gen.4:25)
NOTE: In the process of time...
F. When Tabernacle was built / finished God fill it with His Glory(James.4:8)
1. Why is God telling Moses to "build me a Sanctuary" (Exod.25:8)
a. He wanted to dwell (Tabernacle Exod.25:8, John.1:00) amongst the children of Israel / "The Church
in the wilderness" in His Glory(Exod.Acts.7:38, John.1:1-14, 2:18-20
Acts.7:47-48, 17:24, Eph.2:1-22) NOTE: The word "habitation"
b. NOTE: It was God's idea not man
(1) Adam and Eve walked and talked with God in the garden in the cool of the evening
(3) But sin had entered the world (Gen.3:1-24, Rom.5:10-14)
and now man has been driven out from God's Presence. (Gen.3:1-24
c. "But God who is rich in mercy" (Eph.2:00)
provided a way back. (Gen.3:1-24)
Now God wasGod has been “unfolding”[0] His “intent” (Purpose Prov.28:19, Heb.10:25) that
was fore-ordained since the beginning / foundation of the World. (Gen.1:1, John.1:1-14, 1Peter.1:18-20,
Eph.1:4; 2:1-22; 3:1-12, Rev.13:8; 17:8) Peter writes, "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed
with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your
fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily
was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you."
(1Peter.1:18-20)
1. He (God) created the heavens and the earth in six days and rested on the 7th day. (Gen.1:1-31; 2:1-24,
2Cor.4:1-7, Heb.4:1-12, 1Peter.1:18-20,Eph.1:4; 2:1-22; 3:1-12; 4:1-16; 5:21-32)
2. The first man Adam was created on the six day and Eve was formed and brought to the
first man Adam to be his wife. (Gen.2:1-24, 1Cor.15:45, 1Tim.2:13,Eph.5:21-32, 2Cor.11:1-4)
3. Adam and Eve Walked and talked with God in the cool of the evening. It could be said that
the garden was the sanctuary? before sin entered the World. (Gen.1:131; 2:1-25; 3:8)
4. After a period of time Sin entered the world(Gen.3:1-9, Rom.5:10-12)
a. They (Adam and Eve) made aprons of fig leaves[0] to clothed their nakedness which did
not work because God could see their sin / nakedness (Gen.3:7-10, Heb.4:13)
b. God rejected (did not respect) the fig leaf apron covering (clothing) and made coats of
skins to cloth their (Adam and Eve's) sin / nakedness and they were driven out of the
garden from God’s presence (because of sin) with the promise of Redemption.
(Gen.3:1-24, Rom.5:10-12)
c. This knowledge ("this present truth" i.e. the truth that is near[0]2Peter.1:10-12) the desendants (off-
spring) understood from Adam to Moses (Gen.3:1-24; 4:1-4 / 1John.3:12-16, Jude.1:11, Heb.11:4,
Rom.5:10-14 / Eph.3:5) They knew that there need to be the shedding of blood to cover (clothe) their
nakedness. (Gen.3:15-24, Lev.17:11, Heb.10:22, Rom.3:21-31)
d. “In the process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering
unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.
(Gen.4:1-5) They knew to bring “offerings” and call on the Name of the Lord.(Gen.4:26)
e. Note: The generations that followed until Noah and the FLOOD. (Gen.6-11)
j. After the flood - Noah to Abraham they continued with this understanding. (Review: points I -II )
This was the “present truth” (or the truth that is near from Adam to Abraham)
(1) "They" - were all the descendants (offspring) from Noah's sons, Ham, Shem and Japheth
(Gen.9:1-29; 10:1-32) Previous generations (offspring) were destroyed by the flood. (Gen.6:12-13,
v.23,Matt,24:36-37, Like.17:26-27, Heb.11:7, 2Peter.3:1-9)
(2) They corrupted themselves AGAIN[0] and Built the Tower of Babel (Gen.11:1-9-32)
k. God call (Abram Gen.17:5) Abraham out of Babylon and made Covenant with him (Gen.3:15; 12:1-2;
15:1-22, Gal.3:1-29; 4:21-28, Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12, Heb.11:10-00; 12:18-22)
(1) This covenant continued through Isaac(Gen.15:1-15; 17:1-21; 28:1-5, Rom.9:1-33, Gal.4:18-28)
(2) Continued through Jacob / Israel) Gen.28:1-5, Rom.9:1-33, Gal.4:21-28)
(3) Jacob / Israel had (12) twelve sons (Gen.49:1-28)
(4) These 12 (sons and their families) grew to 70
(5) After a period of time these 70 went down into Egypt (Gen.15:1-15, 37-50, Exodus.1:1-7)
NOTE: Gen.45:7-8; 50:19-20, Rom.15:4, 1Cor.10:1-11)
l. While in Egypt they (i.e. the 70 souls that went into Egypt) "multiplied and waxed exceedingly
mighty and the land was filled with them." (Exod.1:1-7)
(1) Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph and they became slaves to
Egypt for 400 years exactly as God told Abraham. (Gen.15:1-15, Exod.1:8-22)
(2) “And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel
sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of
the bondage. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant[0] with had made Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and
God had respect unto them.” (Exod.2:23-25, Heb.6:13-20)
(a) It was because of Covenant that they had respect[0]
(b) That Covenant was made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who were not Jews. (Gen.11:27-32;
12:1-2) The House of Judah did not exist until after Solomon. (1Kings.11:1-43; 12:1-33)
(3) God prepared Moses(Exod.2:1-25; 3:22; 4:1-41; 5:1-23; 6:1-30) to lead them out from Egypt
after serval plagues (Exod.7:1-25; 8:1-32; 9:1-35; 10:1-29; 11:1-10, Rom.9:17)
(4) The last Plague was the death of the firstborn. The Feast of Passover (Exod.12:1-28, 1Cor.5:7-8,
1Peter.1:18-20)See PHASE 2, Page.3 / PHASE 8
(5) God brought (delivered) them out of Egypt to bring them into the Land promised to
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Exod.1-12, Deut.6:23) See PHASE.2, Page.1
II. Now comes the thought of theGlory in the cloud
A. God lead them with a cloud towards Mt. Sinai (1Cor.10:1-11)
1. God took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before
the people. (Exod.13:21-22; 14:19-24; 16:10)
2. First mention of “the glory of the Lord” in the cloud(Exod.16:10; 24:16)
3. They arrived at Mt. Sinai and Moses went up upon the Mountain in 3rd. month on the 16th day.
(Exod.19:1-16)
a. 50 days after Passover on the 14th day of the first month / Midnight they left (Exod.12:19).
b. They arrived at Sinai in the third (3rd.) month, when Moses went up into the Mountain on the (16th
day of the 3rd. month = 50 days. (30 days to a month)
B. Moses was given the 10 commandments (Exod.20:1-17)
C. Moses was also (Exod.25:8) given the pattern of the Tabernacle on the mount. (Exod.19-40, Heb.8:5)
This was crucial because God wanted to “dwell amongst them”(Exod.25:8; 40:1-38,Heb.8:5) In order
for God to “dwell amongst them” the entire Tabernacle needed to be built (completed / finished) and set
in it’s PLACE.
III. Now God was expanding man’s understanding of how to approach God’s presence.
A. From Adam to Moses(Rom.5:10-14 / Review: Page 3-6)
1. God had created the heaven and the earth. (Gen.1:1)
2. On the 6th day created man (Adam) and woman (Eve) Gen.1:26-31, 1Cor.15:45, Eph.5:21-32)
3. Sin entered the world, Adam and Eve fell (Gen.3:1-24, 2Cor.11:1-4)
4. They tried to cover themselves, but failed (Gen.3:6-7, 21, Heb.4:12-13)
5. God pronounced judgment upon Adam (Gen.3:17-19) Eve (Gen.3:16) and the serpent
(Gen.3:14-15, Col.2:14-15, Rom.16:20, Eph.2:1-22, 3:1-12, 1Peter.1:18-20, Rev.12:1-12)
6. But God, who is rich in mercy... (Eph.2:4, 2Peter.3:9)
a. Initiated His plan (Gen.3:15) of Redemption that was "foreordained before the foundation
of the world (1Peter.1:18-20, Eph.1:4; 2:1-22; 3:1-12)
b. God's plan begins to unfold when He made "coats of skins" (that took to shedding of blood) to cover Adam and Eve nakedness. (Gen.3:1-24, Heb.4:12-13)
c. This plan develops "line upon line" from Genesis to Revelation
d. But they (Adam and Eve) were driven out from from God’s presence. (Gen.3:22-24, Eph.2:1-7, 1Peter.1:18-20, Heb.4:12-13; 9:1-29; 10:1-25)
NOTE: God rejected the fig leaf aprons (All things are naked and open unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” (Gen.2:25; 3:7, Heb.4:13)
7. Now The first man Adam (and his wife) were outside the Garden along with all humanity that
was to follow. (Rom.3:23; 5:12)
a. But they were covered by the shed blood of substitutionary animal sacrifices
(Gen.3:21-24, Heb.9:13-14; 10:11)
b. Bringing offerings to the Lord. (Gen.4:1-4)
NOTE: God respected Abel’s offering but rejected Cains bloodless Offering / fruit of the
“cursed” ground. (Gen.4:1-4, Heb.11:5)
NOTE: God smelled the “sweet smelling savor” of the burn’t offering. (Gen.8:20-21 / Eph.5:1-2,
Rom.5:10-12; 7:1-14, Lev.1:9; 2:2; 3:5; 31)
c. This continued until Noah and the THE FLOOD (Gen.6-7)
d. After the flood Noah continued with Offerings.
(1) And NOW the offerings are to be offered upon an Altar (Gen.8:20-22; 9:1-29) Not
mentioned with Cain’s or Abel’s Offering
(2) We know this offering on the Altar was accepted because God did NOT reject Noah’s offering. (God “smelled a sweet savor” form the offering “and God said in His heart I will not curse the ground any more for man’s sake.offering. He was looking ahead to the “sweet smelling savor of “Christ (the Lamb) of God taking away the sin of the world. (1Peter.1:18-20) (3) “Nevertheless” death / sin still passed upon ALL men but the blood offerings covers the sin until JESUS PAID THE PRICE ON THE CROSS (1Cor.6:19-20)
(4) When I see the blood I will passover that House (Exod.12:15, 1Cor.5:7-8, 1Peter.1:18-20)
(5) Abram (Abraham) did the same (Gen.12:1-8, Gal.3:1-29) )
(6) In the process of time (Read Gen.12-49)came Moses and the Law and God wanting to dwell among them (The children of Israel)
NOTE: This History (from Genesis through to Exodus) was necessary to explain how serious
it is to approach God’s presence and glory! (Review: Eccl.5:1-6)
IV. This is what was requiredfor God to dwell amongst them(withHis presence / glory) among them
(i.e. The Church in the wilderness) (Exod.25:8, 40, Heb.8:5)
A. The same requirements (in their reality / completion / fulfillment) are required (according to
the pattern) to be in placebefore He (God) to dwell among us (The Church Local[0] and Universal[0])
B. It is Requiredbecause the Law is a shadow of “good things to come” (The New Testament Church).
(Matt.5:17-19 / Acts.3:22 / Matt.16:18; Mark.15:58; 1Cor.6:19, Eph.2:20-22 / Gal.1:11-12, Heb.9:1-28; 10:1)
C. Remember what Moses said[0] (who received “the pattern” of the Tabernacle Exod.25:8, Heb.8:1-5)
“a prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you[0] of your brethren,[0] like unto me;
(Heb.3:1-6) Him (JESUS / MESSIAH) shall ye hear[0]in all things whatsoever he shall say unto
you.” (Deut.18:15, Acts.3:22)
D. What did JESUS (The Son Heb.1:1-2) say?
He said “I have come to fulfill the Law” (which includes the Tabernacle of Moses”
down to the “jot”[0] and “tittle”[0](Matt.5:17-19, Rom.8:1-4)
NOTE: These examples These examples of how Jesus (the only begotten SON
[Heb.1:1-2] fulfilled the Laws in the Tabernacle that housed God's Glory.
1. To confirm this Jesus (through the Holy Ghost (Spirit of truth / Comforter John.16:10-15) showed
the two on the way to Emmaus ALL the scriptures (i.e. The Law, Prophets, Psalms) concerning Himself
(Luke.24:27-45, Acts.1:1-4) and afterwards (Luke.24:32-46) opened the rest of the disciples to the Law,
Prophets and Psalms. (Luke. 24:27-45)
a. This was after His resurrection when He taught things that pertain to the kingdom of God Therefore this makes the type of the Old Testament Temple and it’s reality relevant to Kingdom of
God / Heaven which is in the Holy Ghost. (Luke.24:1-8, Acts.1:1-3)
b. Later when Saul was saved (Acts.9:1-20), he was taught directly by Jesus Christ. (Gal.1:11-12) Therefore this chart is what God is speaking today by “the Son” (Heb.1:1-12, John.16:10-15)
2. JESUS said, I am going away (John.16:10-15) but I will send the Holy Ghost / The Comforter and He will guide you into all truth. This because they could not “bear (understand) them now.”
NOTE: These examples (in chart above) how JESUS (only begotten SONHeb.1:1-2) received from the
FATHER, and gave truth to the HOLY GHOST (Spirit, Comforter), and how the HOLY SPIRIT interpreted
the Old Testament into the New Testament. (Coming through the Cross)[0]
3. JESUS said to (His ownJohn.1:11) the House of Judah (the Jews) during his three and one half
years of confirming God’s covenant with them (Gal.3:15-16, Dan.9:27), that He would “destroy (their) temple THAT IS MADE WITH HANDS, and within three days I will build ANOTHER temple MADE WITHOUT HANDS” and fill it with His Glory. (Mark.15:57-58, Acts.7:47-48; 17:24, Eph.2:1-22 /
John.1:18-20 / Gal.1:11-12 / Eph.4:11-6; 5:21-32) This"Temple"is identified as Church (which is
people) a building, a body that must grow to maturity / a Sanctuary for God to dwell in. TEMPLE
MADE WITHOUT HANDS.
REMEMBER: The Old Testament Temple incorporates the “pattern” of the Tabernacle of Moses and Tabernacle of David.
E. This “Sanctuary” (Tabernacle Heb.9:1-10) had a Outer Court Fence
1. This was required / mandatory before God’s Glory could fill the Most Holy Place (Exod.40:1-38)
2. It had to be in it’s place[0] around the Tabernacle (Exod.27:9-19; 40:8) before
God’s glory could abide (dwell) in the Tabernacle. (Exod.25:8; 40:1-38,
Heb.9:1-28; 10:1-25)
3. This “fine linen” (righteousness Isa.64:6, Rev.19:7-8, 2Cor.5:21)
fence forces us to the gate, (Matt.7:13-14) as we we draw nigh
near (Jam.4:7-8) unto God who is dwelling in the Most Holy Place
/ Glory. No fence (rejecting God’s righteousness / No Glory.
F. This “Sanctuary” (Tabernacle Heb.9:1-10) had a Brazen (Brass) Altar
1. It had to be in it’s place[0] before God’s Glory could abide (dwell) in the Most
Holy Place in the Tabernacle. (Exod.25:8; 40:1-38, Heb.9:1-28; 10:1-25)
2. This was placed immediately after entering through the gate of the fence, (Exod.40:6) as
you “draw nigh” (James.4:7-8) to God (Most Holy Place)
3. This was the only place of blood sacrifice atonement (Lev.17:11, 1Peter.1:18-20, John.14:6,
1Tim.2:5, Matt..5:17-19, Rom.3:21-30)
IT SHOULD BE NOTED how the Priesthood (High Priest and Priesthood) is included as a vital part
of building a Sanctuary. (Lev.1:8-11; 2:2; 3:16; Lev.4:5; 6:26, Num.1:47-54, 1Peter.2:5-9, Rev.1:6; 5:10)
There was a High Priest (Aaron) with oversight and a yearly responsibilities (Lev.16:1-34, Heb.2:17; 3:1;
4;14-16; 5:1-14; 6:20; 7:1-28; 8:1-5; 9:1-28; 10:1-25)There was a Priesthood (The sons of Aaron) with
daily responsibilities (Num.1:47-51, 1Cor.9:1-14, 1Peter.2:5-9)
This pattern (figure / blueprint) of "heaven itself" Exod.25:9, v.44, Num.8:4, Heb.9:24) of how
the Levitical Priesthood offered sacrifices upon the Brazen Altar, instructs (Rom.15:4, 2Tim.3:16-17)
us (The New Testament (Covenant) Church) as “royal Priesthood”(1Peter.2:5) should offer the
correct and unblemished offerings. This is part of how to draw “nigh” unto God and His Glory in
The Most Holy Place
G. This “Sanctuary” (Tabernacle Heb.9:1-10) had aBrazen (Brass) Laver
1. It had to be in it’s (mandatory) placebefore God’s glory could abide (dwell) in the Most Holy Place in the Tabernacle. (Exod.25:8; 40:1-38, Heb.9:1-28; 10:1-25) The Laver was to be placed
between the Altar and the door of the Tabernacle (Exod.30:17-21; 40:7)
2. Aaron (High Priest) and his sons (Priesthood1Peter.2:5-9) shall wash their
hands (works)[0] and their feet (walk)[0] thereat: When they go into the
tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not;
or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire
unto the Lord: So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and
it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their
generations. (Exod.30:17-21, Eph.5:26)
This pattern of the Brazen Laver causes us to draw “nigh” unto God where
His Glory in the Most Holy Place, with reverential fear / respect and honor for
God’s Word (Statutes). Not adding to or diminishing God’s Word. (Duet.12:32,
Prov.30:5, Heb.10:29)
H. The Tabernacle building (Itself was divided into two rooms)
1. The Holy Place
It had to be built before God’s glory could abide (dwell) in the Most Holy Place in the
Tabernacle. (Exod.25:8; 40:1-38, Heb.9:1-28; 10:1-25)
a. There were three pieces of furniture in the Holy Place
(1) The Candlestick (or Lamp stand) which was
required / mandatory / purposefully placed[0] on
the South side of the Holy Place(Exod.40:24)
(a) This foreshadows (or points to) the Church
and it’s place. (Exod.40:24, Rev.1:20)
(b) The Candlestick contained the oil / anointing
that shed light "against itself" (Exod.25:37) and on
the table of Shewbread and the Golden Altar of Incense)
(c) The Oil / anointing was the ONLY source of Light in the
Holy Place (Acts.10:38, Heb.1:9, Psa.45:7, John.16:10-15, 1Cor.2:1-14)
(d) The Priests could not see in the room (The Holy Place) because there
was no natural light in the Holy Place / no windows. (Exod.. 1or.2:1- )
(2) The Table of Shewbread was required / mandatory. This Table was purposefully placed[0]
on the North side of the Holy Place (Exod.40:22)
(a) There were 12 loaves of Bread in two rows / representing the 12 Tribes (Exod.25:23-30,
1Cor.10:16-21 / Num.2:1-34)
(b) Eaten in the Holy Place (Num.24:1-9)
(c) Eaten by the Priests, the sons of Aaron (Num.24:1-9)
(3) TheGolden Altar of Incense was required / mandatory
This Golden Altar of Incense was purposefully placed[0] before the Vail (Exod.40:)
(a) Aaron (The high priest) was to burn incense every morning and evening.
(Exod.30:1-8)
(b) Once a year Aaron the high priest (Exod.30:10, Lev.10:1-2; 16:1-2) Psa.141:2,
Eph.5:19, Col.3:16, Rev.5:8; 8:1-3)
(4) The Vail was required / mandatory. It divided the Holy
Place from the Most Holy Place. It was built "purposefully"
(deliberately) it was according to the pattern) "of
the things in the heavens." It was purposefully
placed[0] under the taches that joined the coverings
together. (Exod.40:33)
(a) It divided the Holy Place from the Most Holy
(b) Precise instructions given to where the Vail
was to be. (Exod.26:31-35)
H.1 (Cont.)The Tabernacle building (Itself was divided into two rooms)
2. The Most Holy Place or The Most Holy was required / mandatory, purposefully placed[0] before
God’s glory could abide (dwell) in the Most Holy Place in the Tabernacle. (Exod.25:17-22) mandatory,
purposefully placed[0](Exod.25:8-22, Heb.8:1-5; 9:1-24, 10:1-25)
a. God's very Presence / Glory dwelt in this 10x10x10cubics room
b. This is where the Ark of the Covenant was PLACED
c. This where God reigned over the the Church in the wilderness(Acts.7:38, Exod.25:10-22,
Eph.1:22-23, Col.1:18)
d. Only Aaron the high priest could enter within the Vail (Lev.16:1-34; Lev.23:23-44)
See bibleteachingonline101.net/PHASE.4, Page.5 for details
e. This was the place that Aaron entered into on the day of atonement, (Lev.16:1-34; Lev.23:23-44) ONCE A YEAR which the writer of Hebrews says, that the Holy Ghost was
signifying using the type / shadow of Aaron the high priest.(Lev.16:1-34, Heb.9:7-8, 2Tim.3:16-17, John.16:10-15)(See bibleteaching101.net PHASE 4, Page.9-14)
f. God told Moses “there (in the Most Holy Place) I will meet with thee, and I will commune
with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the
ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of
Israel. (Exod.25:8-22) This was the ultimate. (There was nothing greater)
g. “For on that day (the 10th day of the seventh month Lev.16:29)[0] shall (Aaron) the (high) priest
make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the
Lord." (Lev16:30)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
A REVIEW: FROM ADAM TO MOSES there was a division between man and God’s presence
/ Glory. This division came when sin entered the world in the Garden of God (Eden Gen.3:22-24,
Rom.5:10-14) The New Testament writer of Hebrews explains the reason for the Vail (Veil) was
that “The Holy Ghost …(was)…signifying the way into the Most Holy Place (where the Glory
was) NOT YET MADE MANIFEST, (Heb.9:8) while the first Tabernacle was yet standing”
(Lev.16:1-34, Heb.2:17; 3:1; 4:14-16; 8:1-5; 9:1-28; 10:1-25, 2Cor.3:1-18, Rom.8:18, Col.1:27,)
“NOT YET MADE MANIFEST” meaning the Vail is a prophetic shadow, (blueprint, type, model[0]) of good things to come” (i.e. the future New Covenant) (Matt.27:51-52, Heb.9:1-28; Heb.10:1-2
______________________________________________________________________
H.2. (Cont.) The Tabernacle building (Itself was divided into two rooms)
(h) When considering the whole “matter” (Prov.18:13[0]) of the Tabernacle of Moses,
(Exod.25-40:1-38; 28:1-43; Num.1:47-54,) the HOLY GHOST (SPIRIT) was not just “signifying”
using the Vail, He is also “signifying” using the entire Tabernacle and all of it’s functions
For example:
(1) To haveHigh Priest must have Priesthood (Exod.28:1-00,
Heb.3:1, 1Peter.2:5)
(2) APriesthood must have a Tabernacle to minister unto
the Lord (Exod.25:8)
(3) APriesthood must have an Altar to offer sacrifices
(Exod.27:1-8, Lev.1:9; 17:8-11)
(4) APriesthood must have a Laver to wash their hands
and their feet (Exod.30:17-21)
(5) A Priesthood must have candlestick to fill with oil,
evening and morning (Exod.30:7-8)
(6) APriesthood must have a Table of shewbread every
Sabbath (Lev.24:1-9)
(7) A Priesthood must have a Golden Altar of Incense to
offer frankincense upon (Exod.30:7-9)
NOW ONLY ONE MAN (Aaron / The high priest) could
enter within the Vail to the Most Holy where the glory
is ONCE EVERY YEAR(Exod.28:1-39, Lev.16:1-34, Heb.2:17;
3:1; 4:14-17; 5:1-4; 6:20; 7:1-28; 8:1-5; 9:1-28; 10:1-25)
______________________________________________________________________________________________
The understanding (or revelation) of the high priest was "not made known unto the
sons of men" (Eph.3:5) from Adam to Moses. (1Peter.1:18-20, Eph.1:4; 2:1-22; 3:1-12,
Gal.1:11-12, Eph.3:5)
______________________________________________________________________________________________
This ONE MAN (Aaron) foreshadows JESUS / THE ("Whosoever will" John.3:16) MESSIAH
WHO WAS MANIFESTED IN THE LAST TIMES FOR YOU. (1Peter.1:18-20, Heb.2:17, Eph.3:5)
(8) This ONE MAN / JESUS(Rom.5:10-22, John.1:1-14, Phil.2:7-9) "For
if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death
of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his
life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
(9) The Book of Romans tell us (Rom.5:10-22, John.1:1-14, Phil.2:7-9)
When we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of
his Son, (Heb.10:1-25) much more, being reconciled, we shall be
saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through
our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atone-
ment.
(10) Wherefore, as by one man (the first man Adam1Cor.15:45) sin
entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law
sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
(11) Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them
that had not sinned after the similitude of (the first man1Cor.15:45)
Adam's transgression, who is the figureof Him (Jesus the last
Adam / our High Priest 1Cor.15:45) that was to come.
(12) But not as the offence, (by the firstman Adam) also is the free gift
(by JESUSthe Last Adam / our High Priest)
(13) For if through the offence of one (the first man Adam) many be
dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus
Christ, (the last Adam1Cor.15:45) hath abounded unto many.
(14) And not as it was by one that sinned, (the first man Adam 1Cor.15:45) so is the gift: (JESUS
the last Adam / our High Priest) for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the
free gift is of many offenses unto justification.
(15) Or if by one man's offense death reigned by one; (the first Adam) much more they which
receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteous-
ness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
(16) Therefore as by the offence of one (the first man Adam)
judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so
by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all
men unto justification of life.
(17) For as by one man's disobedience many were made
sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offense
might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much
more abound:
(18) That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace
reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus
Christ our Lord.
(19) Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound.
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
(20) That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace
reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
NOTE: This ONE MAN (Jesus Christ). He is our High Priest
This was where the Ark of the Covenant was placed.
This was the place that ONLY Aaron entered into on the day of atonement, (Lev.16:1-34;
Lev.23:23-44) ONCE A YEAR which the writer of Hebrews says, that the Holy Ghost was signifying using the type /shadow of Aaron the high priest.(Lev.16:1-34, Heb.9:7-8, 2Tim.3:16-17, John.16:10-15)
God told Moses “there (in the Most Holy Place) I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon
the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the
children of Israel. (Exod.25:8-22, Acts.7:47, Rom.15:4, 1Cor.10:1-11)
This was the ultimate. (There was nothing greater)
"For on that day (the 10th day of the seventh monthLev.16:29)[0] shall (Aaron) the
(high) priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all
your sins before the Lord." (Lev.16:30)
— The Mercy Seat foreshadows THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (Rom.5:25, 1John.2:2, Heb.9;5) “Propitiation” Gr. Mercy seat)
— This Mercy Seat was a blood stained Mercy Seat (Lev.16:14-16, Heb.9:1-28) — Above the mercy seat between the two cherubims was the ONLY place where
God spoke (Heb.1:1-2 / Son / Mercy Seat / Shed Blood)
— The Ark of the Covenant was the CENTER-PIECE of the structure of the Church in the wilderness (John.3:, Col.1:18)
— Look at the examples of how the Ark of the Covenant was the CENTER of all their
DAILY functions and their ONCE A YEAR functions. (Exod.25:8-22; 33:15, Num.9:14-23; 1
10:33-36, Josh.3:1-6, 1Chron.13:1-6, 2Chron.5:3-14)
Look at the examples of those who did not acknowledge the Ark of the Covenant it (Num.14:44, Josh.18:1 / Judgesa.20:26-27, 1Sam.4:22, 1Chron.13:3 / 1Sam.14:19)
3. The Tabernacle was the “present truth” / the truth that is near[0] / “for the time then present”[0]
(approx.1500 BC) These “truths” carried the “church in the wilderness” (Acts.7:38, Rom.15:4,
1Cor.10:1-11) From Sinai(Exod.25:8) to Shiloh(Josh.18:1-2) which was in the land promised to
Abraham. (Gen.12:1-2, Heb.4:1-11; 11:8-10) (This is recorded in the Books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers,
Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, 1Samuel.1-2Sam.5:12)
NOTE: BEFORE THE GLORY FILLED THE MOST HOLY PLACE, all these pieces of Tabernacle
furniture was set in their place “according to the pattern shewed to Moses in the Mount.
(Exod.40:1-38, Heb.9:24; 10:1-25)
a. SHILOH(Joshua.18:1)
(1) This was the place the Tabernacle was set up for the last time under the leadership of Joshua
(Josh.18:1) where it remained during all the period of the judges. (The Book of Judges)
(2) After the death of Joshua and the elders God’s people relapsed into idolatry, followed by invasions
of the Promised land. (Judges.2:6-10; 3-16; 3:5-9; 3:12-31; 4:1-23; 6-6; 8:33-10:5; 10-12; 13-16; 23-24) (3) The Book Judges ends with “every man doing that which was right in his own eyes.” (Judges.21:25) This condition continued into the Book of Ruth. Nothing mentioned about the Tabernacle in Shiloh
which should have been the center of their everyday living.
(4) NEXT: The Books of Samuel
(a) The Tabernacle was still in Shiloh, neglected and corrupted (1Sam.1:1-28; 2:1-36; 3:1-21)
(b) Eli was the high priest (who honored his over the holiness of the Tabernacle (1Sam.2:29)
(c) His sons were the priesthood, but they were “sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord” (1Sam.2:11-16; 1Sam.1:1-28; 2:1-36; 3:1-21 / 1Sam.2:11-17)
(d) This period of time was a dark time in Israel’s History for men abhorred (to detest; by
implication, to reject:—abhor, fail, lothe, vilely cast away) the offering of the Lord.
It should be noted that in the middle of all this corruption / pollution God working to
raise up Samuel to be a mighty prophet to bring restoration to the Nation of Israel according
to His PURPOSE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD.
(e) This deterioration of the high priest and priesthood gave the “advantage” (2Cor.2:11) to the Philistines that came and “put themselves in array (lined up in battle formation) against Israel” (1Sam.4:1-3)
(f) When Israel saw this “array” they said let us fetch the Ark of the Covenant. (1 Sam.4:1-11) This was a disaster and the Ark of the Covenant was taken captive. (NOTE: Jer.7:12,14; 26:4-9) “…the glory is departed from Israel: for the Ark of God is taken.”(1Sam.4:22)
(g) During this time (of the Ark being in captivity1Sam.5:1-12; 6:1-16)
—The Philistines could not contain the Ark and sent it back to Israel (1Sam.6:10-21)
—Even God’s people violated God’s pattern concerning the Ark and 50,000 people died
(1Sam.10-21)
—And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God? and to
whom shall he go up from us? THE ARK STAYED IN THE HOUSE OF OBEDEDOM (1Chron.13:14) —Saul becomes king (1Sam.8:1-7) The peoples choice / who never inquired of the Ark of the Covenant /
(h) NOW David becomes king and restores the Ark of the Covenant (1Chron.11:1-14; 15:1-29; —This was to give God back the reign (to be or become king) over Israel (Exod.25:8-22) —However David places the Ark of the Covenant in a NEW PLACE(1Chron.13:1-14; 15:1-29; 16:1-43) This PLACE was Mt. Zion(2Sam.5:6-8, 1Kings.8:1, Psa.2:6; 125:1,Rom.9:33; 11:26, Heb.12:22, 1Peter.2:6 / Eph.2:22, Rev.14:1) with God’s blessing (1Chron.15:1-29)
NOTE: Amos prophecies (hundreds of years after David brought back the Ark) “In that
day will I [God] raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches
thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: that they may
possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith
the Lord that doeth this.”(Amos.9:11-12, Acts.1:8; 8:5-7; 10:1-45; 11:1-15; 13:1-46 / Dan.9:27,
John.1:11 / Gal.3:16-17; 15-16, Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12 / 1Peter.1:18-20)
(i) During the time on Mt. Zion God gave David the pattern to build a House for His name (1Chron.11:1-14; 15:1-29; 16:1-43; 28:19)
— David desired to build a House (1Chron.17:1-15, Acts.2:30; 3:22-36, Mark.14:58, Acts.7:47-48; 17:24, Eph.2:20-22 / Gal.1:11)
— God gave David the pattern to build a House for His name (1Chron.22:1-19; 28:19,
1Cor.3:10-15)
— When this House / Temple / Sanctuary was built / finished the ark of the covenant of the
Lord was brought out of the city of David, which is Zion (which NOW includes the pattern of
worship (1Chron.28:19) This can be seen in the dedication of the Temple (2Chron.5:11-14)
and continued in the Temple worship. (2Chron.7:6; 8:24; 29:25-30; 35:15, Ezra.3:10,
Neh.12:36, John.4:23-24, 1Cor.14:26, Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12; 5:19, Col.3:16) “Psalm” is the Book
of Psalms”[0]
— Also “the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels were brought up to the Temple (From Mt. Shiloh)
(k) When this House / Temple / Sanctuary was built / finished they dedicated the Temple in the
feast which was in the seventh month(2Chron.5:1-5, Col.2:16-17)
(l) Then the Temple was filled with GOD'S GLORY(2Chron.5:11-14, 1Kings.10:1-24 / Isa.2:1-4, Mark.14:58, Acts.7:47, 24;17, Rom.8:18, 1Cor.6:19-20, Eph.2:20-22 / John.2:18-20, Eph.4:11-16; 5:21-32) NOTE: The word “glorious” (Glory filled)
This was the end of the pattern / journey.
There was nothing greater until JESUS who said “a greater than Solomon is here” and that He
(JESUS / MESSIAH) would build His Church (House / Temple) without hands” (Mark.14:58,
Acts.7:47, 24;17, 1Cor.6:19-20, Eph.2:20-22 / John.2:18-20, Eph.4:11-16; 5:21-3) which Haggai
spoke of (Haggai.2:9) a house that is “GREATER than the former (Solomon’s Temple)
(j) NOTE: The History of the Templefrom Solomon to Zedekiah (the last king of Judah) the
Temple was corrupted and polluted many times and restored, but NEVER ATTAINED to the
glory of the“former house (Solomon’s Temple (2Chron.5-36) Yet the Prophet’s Isaiah, (Isa.2:1-4)
Haggai (Hag.2:1-9) and Ezekiel (Eze.42:4) prophesied that there would be a FUTURE TEMPLE
(a Latter House) FILLED WITH GOD’S GLORY ”greater than the former house.
(Review: PHASE 6 Interpreting the Prophets)
NOTE: The last mention of the Ark of the Covenant was during the reign of Josiah, king of
Judah (2Chron.35:3 and Jer.3:16)
"a house that is “GREATER than the former (Solomon’s Temple)" (Haggai.2:9)
(k) During Zedekiah’s reign the House of Judah (i.e. the Jews) was taken into captivity for 70 years
by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon,(2Chron.36:11-21, Jer.29:10-11, Lev.25:1-7)
( ) After the 70 years were fulfilled, they (the House of Judah / Jews) were sovereignly (Dan.4:32) released from captivity “to restore and to build Jerusalem”(Dan.9:24-27, Ezra.1:1-11 / Media- Persia) NOTE: The last mention of the Ark of the Covenant was 2Chron.34:3 and Jer.3:16.
(m) However this restoration was not as great as Solomon’s Temple. (Ezra., Haggai.1:1; 2:1-3) (n) There was no record of the Ark[0] of the Covenant until (2Chron.35:3 / Last mentioned
Note: Jer.3:16)
(o) No glory returning yet (Ezk.1:1-3; 10:10; 43:4)
(p) Now Greece began to reign and 400 silent years between the Old and New Testament. (Daniel records (Dan.11:1-34) that this Temple (that has been restored during the reign of
Media-Persia) would be polluted, the daily sacrifice would be taken away and the House
left desolate. (Dan.11:1-31)NO GLORY NO PRESENCE!
(q) After the wait of 434 years (62 weeks) Messiah / JESUS was revealed and ministered for three and one half years “confirming” the covenant before He was “cut off” (crucified) (Dan.9:26,
John.1:29-41; John.4:23-24) Historical fact
(q) This silence was broken by John the Baptist, a voice crying in the wilderness preparing for Messiah. (Isa.40:3, Matt;3:3, 1Peter.1:18-20)
(q) During this time, (400 years) The House of Judah (the Jews) had over the generations had
many different writings that they added into the Law of Moses. (Deut.12:32, Prov.30:5)
Such as the…
(1) The Oral Torah
(2) The Talmud
(3) The Mishnah
(4) The Midrash
(5) Gemara
(6) This was where the
Pharisees and Saddu-
cees appear
(7) This was where the
Synagouges
(8) This was where Septuagint was written (This was a Greek translation of the Mosaric text because the Greek language was spoken.
(9) The Apocryha was a written
(10) Herod’s rebuilt the Jews Temple(19 BC?) and had become the den of thieves when Jesus
came. 400 years of silence / No prophetic voice of God
V. Now Messiah Comes “manifested in these LAST TIMES for you” (Dan.9:25-26, 1Peter.1:18-20)
The prophet Daniel prophed, “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the
commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem (Media-Persian) unto the Messiah the Prince shall be
seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks.” (483 yrs[0] / Greece) (Dan.9:25, 1Peter.1:18-20)
A. What is the "Last times"? (It is the fifth and sixth day of God's creative Week)
The Messiah is JESUS (God manifest in the flesh Matt.1:23, 1Tim.3:16) the anointed one / The Christ
(John.1:19-41) The (Passover) Lamb of God foreordained before the foundation of the world and made
manifest in these last times, (1Peter.1:18-20) to save his people[0] from their sin (Matt.1:18-25, Rom.5:10-21)
B. He is preeminent (to be first in rank or influence Col.1:18)
1. JESUS / Preeminent in the Old Testament
a. Adam (a figureGen.1:26-31; 2:1-25) pointed to Jesus / Messiah (The Last Adam 1Cor.15:45-46,
Rom.5:14-21, Col.1.1:16-17, Heb.1:1-3, John.3:14) (See HOME PAGE)
b. Eve pointed to His Church( Gen.1:26-31, 2Cor.11:3, Eph.5:21-32)
c. The Woman’s seed pointed to Jesus / Messiah (Gen.3:15, Gal.3:16, Col.2:14–15, Rom.16:20,
Rev.12:1-17; 13:1)
d. Noah pointed to the Second Coming of Jesus / Messiah (Gen.6:1, Matt. 24:36-37, Heb.11:7)
e. Abraham rejoiced to see Christ’s (Jesus / Messiah) day(John.8:56-58, Gal.3:1-29)
f. Isaacpointed to Jesus / Messiah (Gen.22-24, Heb.11:17-19, Gal.4:21-31)
g. Mosespointed to Jesus / Messiah “Him (Jesus) shall you hear” (Deut.18:15, Acts.3:22) Jesus said, “Moses…wrote of me(John.5:46) in the he Law (which includes the Tabernacle, Priesthood,
Offerings, The Feast / holy days / festival days are “a schoolmaster to brings to us to Christ” / Jesus
/ Messiah (Matt.5:17-19, Gal.3:24, Rom.3:21-31, Acts. 1:1-4 / Luke.24:27-46)
J. Davidpointed to Jesus / Messiah (1Chron.17:1-15, Acts,2:30)
k. The Prophets pointed to Jesus / Messiah (Matt.13:10-17, 1Peter.1:10-12)
l. Righteous menlooked for Jesus / Messiah (Matt.13:10-17)
2. JESUS / Preeminent in the New Testament
God, who at sundry[0] times and in divers[0] manners spake in time past (the Old Testament / former
days) unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days (New Testament) spoken unto us by
His Son, (Jesus / Messiah) whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
worlds. (Heb.1:1-2, John.1:1-14)
a. Sundry times -(by many portions, by many times and in many ways)[0]
b. Divers manners (in many ways)[0]
c. “Spake in times past” (Heb.1:1-2) Old Testament / former days
(1) They (the prophets) spoke using the language of the the Law (The Tabernacle, High Priest,
Priesthood, Offerings) “which was imposed on them until the reformation. (until Jesus / Messiah)
comes
(2) When Jesus came He fulfilled (confirmed) the Prophets because they pointed to Him.
(Matt.5:17-19, Luke.24:1-45, Acts.3:18-24; 28:20-23, Rom.3:21-31, 16:25-26, Rev.10:7; 11:15,
Dan.2:42-45) Notice: Jesus CONFIRMED NOT DESTROYED.
It is ALL about Jesus / Jesus is THE CENTERPIECE OF THE BIBLE (God’s Word to us, Old and
New Testaments.
VI. Now the Glory returns but not to an earthly Temple
After six days Jesus taketh (takes) Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth
(brings) them up into an high mountain apart And was transfigured before them:
and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold,
there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter,
and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here
three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.While he yet
spake, behold, a brightcloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the
cloud,[0] which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”
(Matt.17:1-5 / Heb.1:1-2 / Acts.3:22, Eze.10:10; 43:1-4, John.2:18-20, Mark.14:57-58,)
A. JESUS (“my beloved Son”) said “destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise
it up / without hands. (Matt.17:1-5, Heb.1:1-2, John.2:18-20, Mark.14:57-58)
1. “This Temple” - The Temple of His body (John.2:18-20)
a. Notice that JESUS is saying the Temple (building) and the body (maturity)
are the same. This is seen in the Book of Acts and the Epistles (Acts.7:47-48; 17:24, Eph.2:20-22,
1Peter.2:5)
b. “Hear ye Him”/ He that hath an let him hear. JESUS is saying that He is the reality of Temple
(Tabernacle / House / Sanctuary) NOW
2. The Pharisees were THINKING \ NATURAL TEMPLE(John.2:18-20)
a. It is the same today. Many are still thinking[0] that God is going to sanction an earthly rebuilt (third) Temple of God in Jerusalem in the last days.
b. Haggai prophesied that “the latter house” (which has not been fulfilled yet Haggai.2:1-9) will be nothing in comparison to the earthly Temple in Solomon’s day. (NOTE: 2Cor.3:1-18, Rom.8:18)
3. When JESUS was “cut off (crucified) but not for Himself” (Dan.9:26, 2Cor.5:21), the “Vail” of the (earthly)
Temple was rent (split) in twain (two) revealing that God’s Glory was not there. In fact, JESUS said
(Heb.1:1-2) before He was “cut off,” (crucified) that the earthly Temple would be left desolate and not
one stone left upon another.[o](Matt.23:36-39; 24:1-4, 15-22, Mark.13:1-4,14-20, Luke.21:5-7)
4. The House of Judah (Jews) continued to reject CHRIST as the MESSIAH, putting their trust in the
natural Temple and animal sacrifices (Rom.11:20-25, Heb.8:8-13; 10:26-37) ignoring the fact that the
“Vail” had been rent and God’s glory / presence was not there.[0]
a. By this time they had added to and diminished from God’s Law, elevating writing’s (commentary
/ traditions of the Oral Torah, Talmud, Mishanna, Mishrash, and Gemara to have the same authority
as the Law of Moses.
b. JESUS said, (Heb.1:1-2) “Why do you (scribes and Pharisees) transgress the commandment of
God by your tradition? You have made the commandment of none effect by your tradition…
teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Matt.15:1-9, Col.2:8,18 [0])
5. This was happening (from the Cross to 70 AD) when their Temple was desolated) while Jesus
was building His House / Temple / Church (Matt.16:18, John.2:18-20, Mark.14:57-58) without hands.
(Acts.2-28 / The Epistles)
6. The 70 AD destructionof the (earthly) Temple was fulfilled Jesus prophesied with no promise
of being rebuilt (Dan.9:26, Matt.23:36-39; 24:1-4, 15-22, Mark., Luke.21:5-24) In fact the New Testament writer’s (who Jesus had opened their understanding to the Prophets Luke.24:44-45, Gal.1:11-12) said, “Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet” (Acts.7:47-48: 17:24, Eph.2:20-22; 1Peter.2:5) (See The Temple of God bibleteachingonline101.net . Temple of God)
B. Yet the Prophets write (under that inspiration of God) say there will bea Temple filledwith God’s
Glory (Isaiah / Isa.2:1-2), Micah / Mic.4:1-4), Ezekiel/ Ezk.42:4)Haggai / Hag.2:1-9), Zechariah / Zech.6:13)
See PHASE 6 for details of this chart
This (future) Temple of God will be aGLORY FILLED (GLORIOUS) CHURCH. (Matt.16:18, Mark.14:58,
Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12; 4:11-16; 5:21-32) This inTHE TEMPLE that JESUS is in the process of building.
1. Before the Cross
a. Jesus was foreordained to be the Lamb of God before the foundation / beginning of the world. (1Peter.1:18-20, Eph.1:4; 2:1-22; 3:1-12)
b. Jesus said I will build my Church “without hands” (Matt.16:18, Mark.14:57-58, John.2:18-20 John.14:57) NOTE: Jesus did NOT say I will rebuild the earthly Temple that was destroyed 70 AD.
2. After the Cross
a. Howbeit the the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands (Acts7:47-48; 17:24, Eph.4:11-16, 5:21-33)
b. Jesus / Messiah gave Himself for His Church (Eph.5:25)NOTE: The words, building / husband /
wife / marriage / members of His body, of his flesh, and of his bones / Adam / Last Adam / Eve
(Gen.2:23, 2Cor.11:4 / 1Cor.15:45-46, Eph.5:30-31)See Cover Page for Summary
“This is a great mystery BUT I SPEAK OF CHRIST (The last Adam) AND HIS CHURCH”
(Eve)(Eph.5:32)
3. The apostle Peter writes that “…the prophets (Isaiah / Isa.2:1-2), Micah / Mic.4:1-4), Ezekiel / Ezk.42:4)
Haggai / Hag.2:1-9), Zechariah / Zech.6:13) have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ
which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory
that should follow. Unto whom (the prophets) it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us
they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel
unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.”
(1Peter.1:10-12, Matt.13:10-17, Rom.16:25-26)
a. The sufferings of Christ "He hath (has) so fulfilled." (Acts.3:18)
b. The Glory that should follow (which we are looking ahead to.
(1) There was a glory on the day of Pentecost(John.7:37-38; 16:10-15, Acts.2)
(2) And the New Testament writer's say there is yet a greater glory tha (2Cor.3:1-18)
4. This is what the Prophets (Isaiah / Isa.2:1-2), Micah / Mic.4:1-4), Ezekiel / Ezk.42:4) Haggai / Hag. 2:1-9, Zechariah / Zech.6:13) were pointing to where both the Jew and Gentile have been reconciled together in Christ and are now being built a “spiritual house (Temple)” which Jesus is building.
(Eph.2:1-22; 3:1-12, 1Peter.1:18-20, Eph.1:4, Rev.13:8; 17:8)
See PHASE 6 “Interpreting the Prophets for explanation of the chart
NOTE: This has been (and still is) God’s “in tent” (purpose Eph.3:8-11) from the foundation
(beginning) of the World. THIS IS THE MYSTERY OF GOD (Eph.5:32) that will be finished BEFORE JESUS RETURNS. (Acts.3:18-24 / Rev.10:7; 11:15 / Dan.2:42) Also note: Matt.25:34, Luke.11:50, John.17:24, Eph.1:4, Heb.4:3; 9:25-27, Rev.13:8; 17:8
(r) Messiah (JESUS) came “unto His own” (The House of Judah / Jews
John.1:11) to “CONFIRM” the covenant the God had (already) made
with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (NOTE: Gal.3:16-17)
(s) This confirmation is the fulfillment of all the Law and the Prophets.
(Matt.5:17-19, Rom.3:21-31; 8:1-4) and placing us IN HIM (2Cor.5:17)
NOTE: Once again the “schoolmaster” (Law Gal.3:24 / Tabernacle
“pattern” which includes the Feast days / Priesthood / Offerings /
Sacrifices / drinks / divers washings / and carnal ordinances) is
prophesying of “good things to come” (The New Testament)
(Heb.9:1-10:1, Matt.5:17-19)
IV. This pattern was continued and expanded in Solomon’s Temple and the Glory filled the Temple.
Davud said, :
A. The Prophets prophesied of a future Temple being built with everything SET IN IT’s PLACE ACCORDING
TO THE PATTERN
1. Haggai, Isaiah
2. Daniel prophesied that MESSIAH with come (revealed) and cut off. God had already
foreordains this from the foundation of the earth (1Peter.1:18-20)
IV. Who were tribe of Benjamin?
A. One of the twelve sons of Jacob / Israel (Gen.12:1-2; 15:1-15; Phil.3:5 “dung”)
A. Paul writes and have no confidence in the flesh.
" For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus,
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
III. Israelites first mentioned(Exod.9:7, Lev.23:42, Josh.3:17; 8:24; 13:6, Judges.20:21, 1Sam.2:14, 2Sam.4:1,
2Kings.3:24, 1Chron.9:2) This genealogy was important until (Matt.1:1-17, Luke.3:23-38) to the revealing of
the Messiah (The Word made flesh / the anointed one) who came unto His own to “confirm” the covenant
(Dan.9:26 / John.1:29-41; 4:24) (See bibleteachingonline101.net / PHASE 5, Page.7)
NOTE: The glory and the cloud are together (Gen.9:13-16, Exod.13:21-22; 14:19, 20, 24; 16:10; 19:9, 16; 24:15-18; 33:9-10; 34:5; 40:34-38, Lev.16:2, 13, Num.9:15-22; 10:11-12; Num.10:34; 11:25; 12:5-10; 14:14; 16:42, Deut.1:33; 4:11; 5:22)
