Do you understand about the sanctuary that God told them to build?
Hebrews 8
For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; [SUP]5 [/SUP]who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[SUP][a][/SUP] [SUP]6 [/SUP]But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
it continues in Hebrews 9..
[h=3][/h][SUP]11 [/SUP]But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come,[SUP][a][/SUP] with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. [SUP]12 [/SUP]Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. [SUP]13 [/SUP]For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, [SUP]14 [/SUP]how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? [SUP]15 [/SUP]And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
that the sacrifice of animals purifies the flesh but JESUS blood purifies the spirit and gives eternal life.
They had to bring a sacrifice for their sin to the priest. The sacrifice for our sin is Jesus, He is also the high priest.
- Exodus 30:10
- Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
- Colossians 1:14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
The sanctuary had a lamp, Jesus is the light of the world.
They had bread, Jesus is the true bread.
- John 6:31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
- John 6:58 This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.
They had the altar of incense, where they would put put blood, that is our prayers mingled with the righteousness of Christ, that is what makes our prayers acceptable to God.
[h=3][/h][SUP]34 [/SUP]And the Lord said to Moses: “Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, and pure frankincense with these sweet spices; there shall be equal amounts of each. [SUP]35 [/SUP]You shall make of these an incense, a compound according to the art of the perfumer, salted, pure, and holy. [SUP]36 [/SUP]And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you. [SUP]37 [/SUP]But as for the incense which you shall make, you shall not make any for yourselves, according to its composition. It shall be to you holy for the Lord. [SUP]38 [/SUP]Whoever makes any like it, to smell it, he shall be cut off from his people.”
- Revelation 5:8 [ Worthy Is the Lamb ] Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
- Revelation 8:3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
- Revelation 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.
just wanted to see if you had it in condensed form with Bible verses and all.
