Reveal Christ as the Head of the Body

God’s still has divine order and authority structures on the earth… Ephesians 5:21-25; 5:32-6:4 o His divine order operates through mutual submission and servant-hood o

It is the responsibility of those in authority to protect those under authority

It is the responsibility of those under authority to respect / submit to those in authority

They were coupled together in 2 sets of 5… 5 = grace… 2 means Christ & His body Coupled in Hebrew means… companion or friendship

Exodus 25:23-30… The Table of Shewbread was the second piece of furniture in the Most Holy and it was placed on the north side of the Most Holy opposite the Candlestick. A table has many purposes. One is to set things on it for the purpose of display. o This table was for displaying stacks of bread. o There were two stacks with six pieces of bread in each stack. o One stack represents the head and the other represents the body. o What's true of the Head the same is true of the Body.

Lake City Christian Fellowship 1 Principles Class: Tabernacle of Moses - #21 “The Golden Altar of Incense” Pastor Justin Phillips May 9, 2011 st

Exodus 30:1-10… First thing you must notice about the Golden Altar of Incense is its position. There were 2 Altars in the Tabernacle of Moses. One was outside the other was inside. o The Brazen Altar was outside. It was made out of wood and brass. It was a place of death. o The Golden Altar of Incense was inside. It was made out of wood and gold. It was a place of life. Description of the Golden Altar of Incense. o It was the piece of furniture nearest to the Ark. o It was foursquare just like the Brazen Altar in the outer court. Foursquare speaks of balance. o There were three things in the Tabernacle that were foursquare. The Brazen Altar… Exodus 27:1 The Golden Altar of Incense… Exodus 30:2 The Breastplate of the High Priest… Exodus 39:9 The city lieth foursquare… Revelation 21:16 o The Altar had a Crown around it to protect the coals. o The Altar had two staves and two rings in it. On the move the altar would swing and would serve as a huge Censer. o There was a censer associated with the altar; it was used annually on the Day of Atonement. This altar was used exclusively for burning incense. Which speaks of Praise and Prayer. There could be no strange incense. o Prayer and Praise was like incense in the nostrils of God.

The third hour or 9 in the morning and the ninth hour or 3 in the afternoon. o The morning incense usually was praise.

Mark 3:1-5… The Lord is restoring the withered hand on the seventh day.

Lake City Christian Fellowship 1 Principles Class: Tabernacle of Moses - #22 “The Golden Altar of Incense” Pastor Justin Phillips May 16, 2011 st

Exodus 30:1-10… This is the description of the golden altar of incense that was used exclusively for burning Incense two times a day. Nine in the morning and three in the afternoon.

The 7 Hebrew Words for Praise 1. YADAH - ‫ادي‬ Definition: Yadah is a verb with a root meaning, "the extended hand, to throw out the hand, therefore to worship with extended hand." According to the Lexicon, the opposite meaning is, "to bemoan, the wringing of hands." Example: Psalm 63:4... "Thus I will bless Thee while I live, I will (YADAH) lift up my hands in Thy name" Other References: Psalms 134:2, Ps 141:2; II Chronicles 20:19-21 2. TOWDAH - ‫ادوت‬ Definition: Towdah comes from the same principal root word as Yadah but is used more specifically. Towdah literally means, "an extension of the hand in adoration, avowal, or acceptance." By way of application, it is apparent in the Psalms and elsewhere that it is used for thanking God for "things not yet received" as well as things already at hand. Example: Psalm 50:14... "Offer unto God praise (TOWDAH) and pay thy vows unto the Most High" "What I want from you is your true thanks. I want your promises fulfilled." [Tay] Other References: II Chronicles 29:31; Jeremiah 30:19; Ps 26:7 3. HALAL - ‫لالح‬ Definition: Halal is a primary Hebrew word for praise. Our word "hallelujah" comes from this base. It means, "to be clear, to shine, to boast, show, to rave, celebrate, to be clamorously foolish." Example: Psalm 113:1... "Praise (HALAL) ye the Lord, Praise (HALAL) O ye servants of the Lord, praise (HALAL) the name of the Lord." Other References: Psalms 104, 105, 106 4. SHABACH - ‫خابش‬ Definition: Shabach means, "to address in a loud tone, to commend, to triumph, to exclaim, glory, shout." Example: Psalm 145:4... "One generation shall praise (SHABACH) thy works to another and declare Thy mighty acts." Other References: Psalms 63:1, 3, 4; Psalms 117:1; Psalms 35:27; Is 12:6; Psalms 106:47 5. BARAK - ‫كارب‬ Definition: Barak means, "to kneel down, to bless God as an act of adoration." When used in the scripture it implies, "expecting to receive a blessing from the Lord." Example: Psalm 95:6... "O come let us worship and bow down; let us kneel (BARAK) before the Lord our maker.""Come let us throw ourselves at His feet in homage." [NEB] "Let us bend thy knee in the presence of Jehovah our Creator." [Spurrel] Other References: I Chronicles 29:20; Nehemiah 9:5

6. ZAMAR - ‫رامذ‬ Definition: Zamar means, "to touch the strings" and is used concordantly with instrumental worship. Psalm 150 is a perfect example of this kind of praise. David said, "Awake my glory; awake harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn! I will give thanks to Thee, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises (ZAMAR) to Thee among the nations." Example: Psalm 21:13... "Be Thou exalted O Lord, in Thine own strength, so will we sing and praise (ZAMAR) Thy power.""We sing and strike the harp to Thy power" [DeWitt]"With song and with string we will sound forth Thy power" [RHM] Other References: Psalms 66:2, 4; Isaiah 12:5 7. TEHILLAH - ‫اليحت‬ Definition: Tehillah simply means, "to sing, to laud." "God is enthroned on the praises (TEHILLAH) of Israel" (Psalms 22:3). This is the kind of praise that God dwells in. Any form of singing can be praise, but one of the higher forms was the Dorean mode which was neither western major nor oriental minor. It was sort of chanting whereby the words of HALAL were melodiously chanted. This is the expression of praise the Psalmist said God inhabited. Examples: Psalm 33:1... "Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; for praise (TEHILLAH) is comely for the upright."Psalm 34:1 -- "...His praise (TEHILLAH) shall continually be in my mouth." Other References: I Chronicles 16:35; Isaiah 42:10, 12; II Chronicles 20:22

(Several thoughts here) Sitting in the Mercy Seat looking back at the Brazen Altar you was eye level with the sacrifice. The sacrifice is what brought everything to the same level.

Exodus 25:10-16… The box is being constructed.

Exodus 25:17-20… The Mercy Seat is being constructed.

The Most Significant Point in the Study of the Tabernacle…. Exodus 25:8 o

The heartbeat of God... “that I may dwell among them”

Dwell – (#7931 Shakhan) – means to reside or permanently stay, to remain, rest

It has always been God’s desire to dwell among us

All the intricate details of God’s plan are for this one purpose… God wants to be with YOU!

What Happened When the Work Was Finished? ... Exodus 40:33-38 o

The cloud covered the tent… and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle

Glory = (#3519 Kavod) – means weighty, honor, abundance, wealth

New Testament equivalent = (#1391 Doxa) – glory, weighty, honor, splendor, brilliance, character

Cloud by day; Fire by night

John 19:30… Jesus cried, “It is finished.”

Matthew 27:50-52… The veil was rent; the separation is gone

The Cloud over the Tabernacle… Number 9:15-23 o

v.16 –So it was always! ... (Hebrews 13:5… God has promised he will never leave us or forsake us)

They followed the cloud… the leading of God… no matter how quickly or slowly it moved

A cloud is full of water – life… Man cannot live without water… John 4:14

The nature of a cloud is to empty itself… Joel 2:28

The bible only speaks of one cloud before Jesus’ ascension

After the ascension, it is spoken of in the plural – Clouds

On the cross, His glory was multiplied … John 17:21-22

Behold He cometh with clouds… Revelation 1:6-7

v.15 – The appearance of fire by night

Hebrews 12:29 – Our God is a consuming fire

Revelation 20:10-15 – The Lake of Fire… What is a lake made of?

God wants us to reign as kings and rain as clouds

The Foursquare City… Revelation 21:1-6; 21:16 o

Behold the tabernacle of God is with men… I Corinthians 3:16; II Corinthians 6:16

Dimensions of the Holy of Holies 10x10x10 cubits… it was a cube

10 cubits = 15 feet; the number 15 = Rest

We enter into this rest by believing… Hebrews 4:1-3

The hope of his presence, his character, his glory… Colossians 1:26-27

Leviticus 16:1-17… These Scriptures tells you about the Day of Atonement. o

It was the only time in the year anyone went behind the veil.

There was two times in that day the High Priest went behind the veil.

Second time he went for the nation of Israel and he didn't have to create a cloud this time.

Leviticus 16:17… Nobody did anything on this day except the High Priest.

Leviticus 16:4… First thing he did was he stripped himself of the golden garments and wore the linen garments.
