The Sanctuary symbolism laid out the plan of redemption for all to see.
Altar of burnt offerings = The lamb to be crucified upon the Cross. And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: Genesis 22:8 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep,.. Exodus 12:5 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29 The laver of water = cleansing by water. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. Ezekiel 36:25 .....in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 3:20,21 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. 1 John 5:6 The lamp burning at all times = the Holy Spirit. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:13 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:31 The Table of Shewbread = Christ. And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Luke 22:19 I am that bread of life. John 6:48 Altar of Incense = Prayers ascending to heaven. ...and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. Revelation 5:8 And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. Acts 10:4 - Now enter into the HOLY of HOLIES- The ark of the Covenant holding the 10 Commandments (Law of God). Over it The Mercy Seat representing God. And the two angels looking down, representing the interest of all heaven in what is happening here. On the Day of Atonement, the High Priest would enter the Holy of Holies- to purge the Temple of the past years sins of the people. Then they would bring to goats. One would be let go and the other, the priest would lay his hands on its head and transfer the sins to it. Then it would be led away from the camp, never to return. Symbolic of the end when Lucifer is held accountable for sin. Destroyed forever. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, Revelation 20:10 ....and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Ezekiel 38:22 As for the Day of Atonement - And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. Daniel 8:14 But the judgment shall sit,.. Daniel 7:26 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10 We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; Hebrews 8:1 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: Hebrews 9:7 He is our advocate-He stands in your place and holds up His nailed scarred hands before the Father and pleads your case. My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1John 2:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Daniel 12:1,2 The reward is great-the promised land-once and for all. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Ezekiel 37:12 But the punishment is severe - And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Psalm 61:4
