24 The Sanctuary and the Testimony of Jesus

25 The Feast of Tabernacles

Oh Father in heaven, we are so thankful for your love for us.

We're thankful for the sanctuary message, your kindergarten to help us understand that you did find an answer to the sin problem.

And Lord, as we're going through this, We need the Holy Spirit to give us understanding.

We're so thankful for the blood of Christ that there is power in the blood to wash away the filth of our sin.

We thank you for the Holy Spirit, Lord, that you send to us to give us power to obey.

We thank you, Lord, so much for the love that you demonstrate for us.

But Lord, we need the Holy Spirit because spiritual things are spiritually discerned.

And Lord, we don't want anything to stand between our soul and our Savior.

And so we pray just now that your angels of light will come into this room and will keep the evil 1 from distracting us.

I pray, Lord, that we will recognize your unique voice speaking to each of us and applying this message as the speaker could never do.

And I thank you for that, Lord, but glorify your name and your mind be given to us now and we thank you as we ask this in Jesus name amen.

We are learning in our presentations that God gave to Israel the sanctuary to help them understand the plan of salvation.

That plan, they were to understand not only for their own edification so that they can intelligently cooperate with God, But Israel actually was supposed to share that with the Gentile nations around them as well.

And so the God is interested in saving a world.

And we have learned in our study that there was only 1 entrance and it was on the east end.

And we learned that curtain represented Christ.

Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, and the life.

Jesus said, come unto me all ye that are burdened, heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

There's only 1 way to the Father, and that is through Jesus.

Last week, as we came to the brazen altar, we learned that that represented the cross.

It was there that the sacrifice was given for the sinner and Jesus is the Lamb of God that takes away the sins.

Now our next step is going to be the brazen, excuse me, yes, labor.

Labor is our third stop in the sanctuaries.

The Lord reveals to us the plan of salvation.

It was made out of bronze and it stood between the tabernacle and the brazen altar.

When there was the offering that was taken of Israel for the various implements and furnishings of the sanctuary, the ladies gave their polished brass mirrors as a an offering, a love offering if you will.

And it was used to make the labor and that's very significant because brothers and sisters we got to see ourselves for what we really are before we're going to get help.

And so that's very appropriate to see that there.

But let's move forward and let's find out what is the lesson that God wanted us to learn here at the brazen altar.

So let's take a look at question number 1.

You should all have your handouts with you.

Question number 1 says, what service was conducted at the laver, Exodus 30, verse 18 and 19 tells us, you shall also make a laver of bronze with its base, also bronze for what?

For washing, Thank you for reading along with me there.

For Aaron and his son shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it.

And so what we're finding is that the laver was filled with water.

And the priests were to wash their hands and feet.

We're going to see a little bit more on the next verse how and when.

But they were to wash it here at the foot of the laver.

They were to get the water from up here but wash down at the foot of the labor.

But when would they do that and why would they do that?

What was the significance of the washing?

Exodus 30 20 and 21 says, when they go into the tabernacle of meeting or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water lest they die.

They shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die.

So, here we're finding that before they ministered inside the tabernacle or before they brought an offering, the priest was to wash their hands and their feet.

And that symbolic act symbolized the washing away of all defilement of sin as they entered into the work and into the presence of God.

Now remember, you know it mentioned in there that if they didn't do that, that they would die.

And I remember I would read stuff like that and be like, that's kind of heavy.

But we have to understand the role of the priest was very heavy.

You see they were literally an object lesson for the people.

When the people came to the tabernacle to watch the services, they were to meditate on what they were watching and prayerfully the Holy Spirit would be communicating to them the plan of salvation revealed in their actions.

And so God gave specific instruction to the priests so that they would communicate the plan correctly so that the people could understand it correctly and therefore respond correctly.

But if the priest got careless and they did not communicate it correctly, then the people would not understand it correctly and they would place the people in jeopardy.

You remember the story of Nadab and Abihu, the story is found in Leviticus chapter 10, if you want to look that up later, there's your reference, Leviticus 10.

God had given specific instruction to the children, to the priests, that whenever they were to use fire in any of the services, they were to use the fire that he lit at the brazen altar when the sanctuary was inaugurated.

And you remember that after Moses sprinkled everything with oil signifying the consecration of the tabernacle to the service of God and they put in a sacrifice on the brazen altar and they prayed to the Lord.

Fire came down from heaven and lit that fire.

Well that fire whenever they moved during those their 50 years in the wilderness they were before they broke camp were to capture some of that fire in a sensor and keep that fire going until they set up camp again in the next location and then any fire lit here or in the menorah was to be lit from that original fire.

God told them not to use any other fire, no common fire.

Now Bible students, what is fire a symbol of in Scripture?

And so when we come into the service of God, we're to come with His Spirit, not another spirit.

Our Bible tells us there is another spirit in this world and we got to make sure we don't come in that spirit.

And so when when Nadab and Abihu, they got careless and they said fire's fire, what's the big deal?

Without meaning to, they were actually about to send a message to the children of Israel that would have jeopardized them, and it ended up costing them their lives.

You know, this tells me something very important.

You and I, you and I have been entrusted with truth, brothers and sisters, And Peter says that you and I are a nation of priests.

And so there are many people out there who may never read their Bible, and the only Bible they may read is your life and mine as a neighbor, as a co-worker.

And so how vital it is that our lives reflect the Savior that we serve at all time.

And for that to happen, you and I have to be in our Bibles, don't we?

We need to be studying the Word that we may properly and rightly represent our God.

If you're in agreement with that, will you say amen?

The work of being reconciled to God, term for that is being justified or made right, which began at the brazen altar where we encounter the blood, continues at the labor with its water.

And so this reconciliation we refer to as being justified or made right.

In theological terms we refer to that as justification.

It's a big word, isn't it, justification?

If you need, if you wanna break that down in a very easy way to understand, just work with the first 6 letters, just if.

Justification is God views you just if you hadn't sinned.

When we accept the sacrifice that the Lord has provided in us in his precious son.

Now King David, this was very special to King David.

In Psalms 51, we find a Psalms that references David's adulterous relationship with Bathsheba where he comes and asks for forgiveness.

And I submit to you that David's interest in the sanctuary began from that experience when he finally saw himself what he really was, a big sinner, and he needed a big savior.
