“But while Jesus, as a “new creature,” was thus within the “Holy,” enjoying the light of the golden candlestick, fed by the bread of truth, and offering acceptable incense to Jehovah, let us look out into the “Court,” and yet farther out, beyond the “Camp,” and see another work progressing simultaneously. We last saw the bullock dead, in the “Court,” representing the man, Jesus, consecrated at thirty years of age, at his baptism. Now the fat of it has been…
“Then he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the LORD, with his hands full of sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil.” (Lev 16:12) “Looking through the type to the antitype, (that is comparing the typical ceremony to the reality) let us now step by step, compare the doings of Jesus with this prophetic picture of his work, when he as the man Christ Jesus, had fully consecrated…
“And Aaron (representing our Lord) shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.” (Lev 16:9) “The Lord’s goat (the one for whom the LORD’s lot fell) represented the entire ‘Little Flock’ of the Lord’s faithful followers. They are all alike; they all come by way of the same ‘narrow way’; so that what is true of the company as a whole is true of each of its members. Therefore the ‘Lord’s…
The Second Atonement Day Sacrifice, the “Lord’s Goat” “And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.” (Lev 16:7, 8) “These two goats, taken from Israel and brought into the ‘court’, typified or represented all who coming from the world and accepting Jesus’ redemption fully consecrate…
The First Atonement Day Sacrifice, the “Bullock” “Thus shall Aaron (The High Priest) come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering…” (Lev 16:3) “Be it noted that our Lord Jesus was typified both by the bullock and the priest; that the bullock represented him as the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all; that the priest represented the new mind, the Holy Spirit, by which our Lord was begotten again at the…
There are in fact two viewpoints of the Day of Atonement provided for us in the Scriptures, the first of which is describe in Leviticus Chapter 9 is taken from the standpoint of the flesh, from our viewpoint, while the other as describe in Leviticus Chapter 16 is as these sacrifices are viewed from God’s viewpoint. In this particular instance however we are more interested in how this arrangement is seen from God’s perspective, God’s viewpoint, therefore we will be…
“You shall also take one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.” (Exod 29:15) “The ‘ram of burnt offering’, (the first ram) pictured the identical consecration already portrayed in the sacrifice of the bullock, but from a different standpoint, that of divine acceptance. It showed that the offering was made to God, and accepted by God as a whole; it was completely consumed by the fire of the Lord’s altar.” (N.O.T.T….
“You shall also have the bull brought before the tabernacle of meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bull.” (Exod 29:10) “Note that Moses, and not Aaron nor his sons provided the bullock for this occasion, the consecration of the priesthood. The animal here used for a sin-offering was a bullock, since the bullock represents perfect humanity, we may gather from the type that neither the Logos (our Lord in his pre-human…
“And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, Take [1] Aaron, and [2] his sons, [3] the garments, and [4] the anointing oil, and [5] a bullock for the Sin-Offering, and [6] two rams, and [7] a Basket of unleavened bread.” (Lev 8:1, 2) Those who aspire to become members of the antitypical priesthood of God, ought carefully and prayerfully to study this picture and its seven parts, to see if their own consecration is therein set forth. Seven is…
The directions given to Moses for the construction of the Tabernacle may be found in Exod. 25 to 27, and the account of the performance of the work, in Exod. 35 to 40. The picture above on the left is one of the many typical representations of the Tabernacle found on the internet, one which we might add incorporates numerous errors which we will address later in this study; the second illustration on the right is a more accurate rendering….
