Jesus Foreshadowed

What furniture was in the courtyard?

Answer:   A. The altar of burnt offerings where animals were sacrificed was located in the courtyard, just inside its entrance (Exodus 27:1-8). This altar represented the cross of Christ. The animal represented Jesus, the ultimate sacrifice (John 1:29).

B. The laver, located between the altar and the entrance of the sanctuary, was a large washbasin made of brass. Here priests washed their hands and feet before offering a sacrifice or entering the sanctuary (Exodus 30:17-21 38:8). The water represented cleansing from sin, or the new birth (Titus 3:5).

What furniture was in the holy place?

Answer:   A. The table of shewbread (Exodus 25:23-30) represented Jesus, the living bread (John 6:51).  B. The seven-branch candlestick (Exodus 25:31-40) represented Jesus, the light of the world (John 9:5 1:9). The oil represented the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:1-6 Revelation 4:5). C. The Alter of Incense (Exodus 30:7, 8) represented the prayers of God's people, with Jesus as Intercessor (Hebrews 7:25).

*Water or fire…which 1 is going to clean the Earth when Jesus comes back?  See 2 Peter 3:10. Who’s heard of Noah’s Ark…what did God clean the earth with?  See 2 Peter 3:6-7. According to the United States School of Water Science, the earth is about 70% water.  Your body is about the same amount.  Do you think God wanted Noah & his neighbors to be ready? Does He want you to be ready? Matt 24:35-39; 50-51; 3:11.

What furniture was in the most holy place?

The ark of the covenant, the only piece of furniture in the most holy place (Exodus 25:10-22), was a box or chest of acacia wood overlaid with gold. The Ten Commandments were inside the ark (Deuteronomy 10:4, 5). Standing atop the chest were two angels made of solid gold. Between these angels was the mercy seat (Exodus 25:17-22), where the supernatural presence of God dwelt. This symbolized God's throne in heaven, which is likewise located between two angels (Psalms 80:1).

The Ten Commandments represent God's character, meaning the Ten Commandments state what God always does, what God will never do, what He likes, and what He does not like.
