The harvest truly is plenteous,
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
but the laborers are few.
00:00:02.96\00:00:03.93
Pray ye therefore
the Lord of the harvest,
00:00:03.94\00:00:06.40
that he will, he
will send forth laborers
00:00:06.41\00:00:09.26
into his harvest.
Also, I heard the voice
00:00:09.27\00:00:12.12
of the Lord
saying, "Whom shall I send?
00:00:12.13\00:00:14.92
And who will go for us?
00:00:14.93\00:00:17.79
Then said I, Here am
I, send me, send me."
00:00:17.80\00:00:23.47
Life on the Edge will enable you
00:00:23.48\00:00:25.29
to be an effective
harvester for the Lord.
00:00:25.30\00:00:27.73
We now invite you
into our classroom
00:00:27.74\00:00:30.13
to come, experience life.
00:00:30.14\00:00:33.85
We'd like to
welcome you all back here
00:00:43.53\00:00:45.56
to the classroom at the
Lay Institute for Evangelism.
00:00:45.57\00:00:49.32
This term we are
located on the campus
00:00:49.33\00:00:52.12
of Pine Lake Retreat
in Groveland, Florida.
00:00:52.13\00:00:55.23
We're glad those of you at
home could be here with us,
00:00:55.24\00:00:58.06
you're gonna
wanna get your Bible.
00:00:58.07\00:00:59.85
If you haven't already
downloaded the study guide
00:00:59.86\00:01:02.99
or the material
that goes with this,
00:01:03.00\00:01:04.83
you want to go to
ComeExperienceLife.com
00:01:04.84\00:01:09.32
and you'll want
to get the handouts
00:01:09.33\00:01:11.33
that go along with
Judgment One, Judgment One.
00:01:11.34\00:01:15.81
And that the number
for that study I believe,
00:01:15.82\00:01:18.79
if I'm not
mistaking what number is that?
00:01:18.80\00:01:20.72
That number is 13,
13, so you want to get
00:01:20.73\00:01:23.94
study guide number
13, that way you'll be
00:01:23.95\00:01:26.38
able to follow
along with this on paper.
00:01:26.39\00:01:28.61
And depending on what
type of computer you have.
00:01:28.62\00:01:30.51
You maybe able to just
to download the graphic.
00:01:30.52\00:01:32.20
Because we know that you as well
00:01:32.21\00:01:33.41
are gonna take this course.
00:01:33.42\00:01:35.04
You're gonna go to
your own local church,
00:01:35.05\00:01:37.19
your own local congregation.
00:01:37.20\00:01:39.18
And you're either
gonna get the DVD set
00:01:39.19\00:01:41.18
and take us with you or
you're gonna get the material
00:01:41.19\00:01:43.82
and you're gonna
present it yourself.
00:01:43.83\00:01:45.66
Our goal here at the
Lay Institute For Evangelism
00:01:45.67\00:01:49.32
is to teach you,
how to teach what we do?
00:01:49.33\00:01:52.85
I wanna be out of a job
and when I'm out of a job,
00:01:52.86\00:01:55.29
when there is no
one else to train,
00:01:55.30\00:01:56.60
guess what that
means? Jesus has comeback.
00:01:56.61\00:01:58.05
Jesus has comeback,
that's absolutely right Mike.
00:01:58.06\00:02:00.85
So, we just want to
thank you for joining us.
00:02:00.86\00:02:02.88
On our graphic here
you'll note that today's study
00:02:02.89\00:02:05.63
is Judgment One,
we've been over that.
00:02:05.64\00:02:07.86
And the purpose of
today's study is to show
00:02:07.87\00:02:11.32
that the earthly sanctuary
is a revelation of Christ
00:02:11.33\00:02:17.30
and His work in
the Heavenly Sanctuary.
00:02:17.31\00:02:20.18
So, we're gonna focus
on the earthly sanctuary
00:02:20.19\00:02:23.44
and we're gonna see
that the earthly sanctuary
00:02:23.45\00:02:25.50
is a revelation or it
reveals Jesus Christ to us.
00:02:25.51\00:02:30.55
And then we're going
to talk about the work
00:02:30.56\00:02:32.67
that went on in
the earthly sanctuary
00:02:32.68\00:02:35.14
and that will tell us
what now Christ is doing
00:02:35.15\00:02:38.44
in the heavenly
sanctuary. And after this study,
00:02:38.45\00:02:41.31
Pastor Sizemore is
going to be presenting
00:02:41.32\00:02:43.20
a study for us
called Judgment part 2.
00:02:43.21\00:02:46.97
And he'll be going
over the work of Christ
00:02:46.98\00:02:49.94
in the Heavenly Sanctuary.
00:02:49.95\00:02:52.05
Our Center It
today is simply this:
00:02:52.06\00:02:55.28
Jesus is the
earthly Sanctuary in verity.
00:02:55.29\00:03:00.46
Jesus is the
earthly Sanctuary in verity.
00:03:00.47\00:03:04.03
And that word verity is
a true principle of belief.
00:03:04.04\00:03:07.68
So, Jesus is the earthly
sanctuary in its truest sense.
00:03:07.69\00:03:12.88
So, we're gonna hop
right out into our study today,
00:03:12.89\00:03:15.59
those of you that
have been watching,
00:03:15.60\00:03:16.89
those of you
here in the classroom.
00:03:16.90\00:03:18.32
You'll remember
that all of the studies
00:03:18.33\00:03:19.96
that I have presented
this point have been presented
00:03:19.97\00:03:22.42
in two hours or
two different programs.
00:03:22.43\00:03:24.84
But today we are gonna
present this in one program.
00:03:24.85\00:03:29.10
So, you're gonna have to
buckle on your seat belt,
00:03:29.11\00:03:30.92
you're gonna have to
make sure that you have
00:03:30.93\00:03:32.18
some of that sticky stuff that
they use at the post office,
00:03:32.19\00:03:34.19
so you can flip pages real nice.
00:03:34.20\00:03:36.43
But we're gonna go right
into it on your screen there.
00:03:36.44\00:03:39.18
You see all of the
texts that we are going to use
00:03:39.19\00:03:41.98
in this study, and
you note that we have
00:03:41.99\00:03:43.51
19 of those references
that we're going to be reading.
00:03:43.52\00:03:46.27
But it's going
to go very rapidly,
00:03:46.28\00:03:48.20
because we're
just simply looking
00:03:48.21\00:03:50.02
at the earthly sanctuary.
00:03:50.03\00:03:51.69
And then Christ
as the fulfillment
00:03:51.70\00:03:54.08
of each one of the pieces
of furniture and then Christ,
00:03:54.09\00:03:57.84
the fulfillment of the
work in the earthly sanctuary.
00:03:57.85\00:04:01.76
So, we were going now
to our first reference,
00:04:01.77\00:04:04.46
our first Judgment One study.
00:04:04.47\00:04:06.49
When you're
marking it in your Bibles,
00:04:06.50\00:04:08.00
you'll note on the
graphic there that it's 1J1,
00:04:08.01\00:04:10.91
so it's the first text
in the Judgment One study.
00:04:10.92\00:04:13.58
And that is
Exodus 25 verses 8 and 9.
00:04:13.59\00:04:17.77
Now, those of you at
home watching on that graphic,
00:04:17.78\00:04:20.21
you noted there was an
yellow circle around 1J1
00:04:20.22\00:04:24.01
and then a line and underneath
00:04:24.02\00:04:25.71
that the reference
that we're gonna go to next.
00:04:25.72\00:04:27.78
This is a code for
marking your Bibles,
00:04:27.79\00:04:30.75
so if you haven't been with
us in any of our other programs.
00:04:30.76\00:04:35.12
You wanna make
sure that you go back,
00:04:35.13\00:04:37.55
if you bought the DVD set
go back to number 1, 2, 3,
00:04:37.56\00:04:40.54
we covered that
heavily doing those.
00:04:40.55\00:04:42.69
Because we knew
that once we covered it
00:04:42.70\00:04:44.52
heavily then you'd
be able to keep up,
00:04:44.53\00:04:46.38
but maybe this is the
first time you're with us,
00:04:46.39\00:04:47.97
so just go back
00:04:47.98\00:04:48.95
and get the first
couple of programs.
00:04:48.96\00:04:50.65
So, let's go now to
Exodus 25 and verse 8,
00:04:50.66\00:04:56.20
Exodus 25, Exodus 25 of
course that's the second book
00:04:56.21\00:05:02.29
of the Old
Testament. And we'll go ahead
00:05:02.30\00:05:05.41
and ask Anita to
read that if she will.
00:05:05.42\00:05:08.11
So, Anita if
you will read for us
00:05:08.12\00:05:09.70
Exodus 25 verses 8 and 9.
00:05:09.71\00:05:14.89
And let them
make me a sanctuary;
00:05:15.95\00:05:18.00
that I may dwell among them.
00:05:18.01\00:05:20.00
According to all
that I show thee,
00:05:20.01\00:05:22.33
after the pattern
of the tabernacle,
00:05:22.34\00:05:24.70
and the pattern of all
the instruments thereof,
00:05:24.71\00:05:27.27
even so shall ye
make it. Okay, so Anita
00:05:27.28\00:05:30.45
what was the reason that
God wanted to make a sanctuary?
00:05:30.46\00:05:36.55
That he may dwell
among them. That's right,
00:05:36.56\00:05:39.88
so that God could
dwell among his people.
00:05:39.89\00:05:43.76
God wanted Moses
to make a sanctuary,
00:05:43.77\00:05:46.32
so that God could
dwell with his people.
00:05:46.33\00:05:50.32
And so Moses
makes that sanctuary,
00:05:50.33\00:05:53.03
there in verse 9 God says:
00:05:53.04\00:05:54.87
According to all
that I show thee,
00:05:54.88\00:05:57.84
after the pattern
of the tabernacle,
00:05:57.85\00:06:01.52
and the pattern of all
the instruments thereof,
00:06:01.53\00:06:04.96
even so shall you make
it. So, God there tells Moses
00:06:04.97\00:06:10.73
to make a
sanctuary after a pattern,
00:06:10.74\00:06:14.49
so that God could
dwell among his people.
00:06:14.50\00:06:18.66
Does that make sense?
So, there was a pattern
00:06:18.67\00:06:21.32
that God showed
Moses. He says make me
00:06:21.33\00:06:24.04
a sanctuary
according to this pattern,
00:06:24.05\00:06:26.16
for the purpose of what, Dosang?
00:06:26.17\00:06:27.69
For what purpose?
To dwell among them.
00:06:27.70\00:06:29.78
To dwell among
them, that's right.
00:06:29.79\00:06:32.38
So, God shows Moses a
pattern of how to build
00:06:32.39\00:06:34.94
this earthly
sanctuary. In order to show that
00:06:34.95\00:06:37.56
Jesus is a
fulfillment of that sanctuary,
00:06:37.57\00:06:40.65
we're gonna go to
Matthew Chapter 1 verse 23.
00:06:40.66\00:06:44.51
Matthew Chapter 1,
our next graphic there,
00:06:44.52\00:06:46.95
Matthew Chapter 1 and verse 23.
00:06:46.96\00:06:50.05
I skipped the graphic
for the judgment there,
00:06:50.06\00:06:52.09
but we'll get
right back to that one.
00:06:52.10\00:06:54.03
Because, it's actually
gonna be on our future slide.
00:06:54.04\00:06:56.53
So, we're going to
Matthew Chapter 1 and verse 23
00:06:56.54\00:07:00.45
and we'll go
ahead and ask Jessica
00:07:00.46\00:07:02.27
to read that for us. So,
Jessica, can you help me,
00:07:02.28\00:07:05.86
a brand new Bible student,
00:07:05.87\00:07:07.59
get from Exodus to
the book of Matthew.
00:07:07.60\00:07:10.96
Can you help me
get there from Exodus?
00:07:13.14\00:07:14.73
Go past half of the
Bible. Half of the...
00:07:14.74\00:07:17.96
I'm in Matthew,
oh! That's sweet.
00:07:17.97\00:07:21.34
Does it always work like
that? No. No, well, all right
00:07:21.35\00:07:25.85
Matthew Chapter,
what are we in Jessica?
00:07:25.86\00:07:28.11
Chapter 1, verse 23. All
right, Chapter 1, verse 23
00:07:28.12\00:07:31.96
and don't forget to hold
that underneath your chin,
00:07:31.97\00:07:33.87
so the popping
noise doesn't happen.
00:07:33.88\00:07:37.37
"Look! The virgin
will conceive a child.
00:07:37.38\00:07:40.37
She will give birth
to a son, and he will be
00:07:40.38\00:07:43.70
called Immanuel
(meaning, God is with us)."
00:07:43.71\00:07:47.44
So, Jesus comes, he is born,
he is given the name Immanuel,
00:07:47.45\00:07:52.72
which being interpreted is what?
00:07:52.73\00:07:55.49
God with us. So
the sanctuary was built
00:07:55.50\00:07:58.72
so that God could
dwell with his people,
00:07:58.73\00:08:00.91
do you remember that? Exodus 25.
00:08:00.92\00:08:03.02
Then we get to Matthew
1:23 and it says that His name
00:08:03.03\00:08:06.43
will be called Immanuel,
which being interpreted
00:08:06.44\00:08:10.00
is God with us.
Jesus is the fulfillment
00:08:10.01\00:08:16.43
of the entire earthly sanctuary.
00:08:16.44\00:08:20.63
Now what we're going
to see on our next graphic
00:08:20.64\00:08:23.44
is the earthly sanctuary
in just a diagram format.
00:08:23.45\00:08:27.99
So, you see
there on the far right
00:08:28.00\00:08:30.13
of your screen
you see "The Door,"
00:08:30.14\00:08:32.27
then there is "The
Altar of Burnt Offering."
00:08:32.28\00:08:34.32
Then the "Laver," then
you sees "The Candlesticks"
00:08:34.33\00:08:37.40
on the left as you
go into the sanctuary.
00:08:37.41\00:08:40.37
Then you see "The
Table of Showbread"
00:08:40.38\00:08:42.14
on the right or the side
of the North of the sanctuary.
00:08:42.15\00:08:45.45
Then you see
"The Altar of Incense"
00:08:45.46\00:08:47.43
and then we go past that
line in that inner square
00:08:47.44\00:08:51.16
and that takes us
from the Holy Place
00:08:51.17\00:08:52.96
into the Most Holy
Place, where we find
00:08:52.97\00:08:55.12
"The Ark of the Covenant."
So, what we're going to do is,
00:08:55.13\00:08:58.19
we are going to walk
through this sanctuary,
00:08:58.20\00:09:00.89
and we are
going to see, Vanessa,
00:09:00.90\00:09:02.36
that Jesus is the fulfillment
of every bit of this sanctuary.
00:09:02.37\00:09:07.74
So, let's look now, you see
there the door is in yellow.
00:09:07.75\00:09:11.32
So, each thing we're
gonna focus on well be
00:09:11.33\00:09:12.98
in yellow as we continue going.
00:09:12.99\00:09:15.73
We're gonna focus on
the door of the sanctuary.
00:09:15.74\00:09:19.40
Now, some of you are taking
notes and don't you worry,
00:09:19.41\00:09:21.84
we have this on a
graphic, a piece of paper
00:09:21.85\00:09:24.50
or a handout that
we can give to you.
00:09:24.51\00:09:25.78
You can make multiple
copies of that and then use it
00:09:25.79\00:09:28.22
in your studies. So,
you'll be able to get that.
00:09:28.23\00:09:30.77
Let's go to our
3rd Judgment One text
00:09:30.78\00:09:35.23
in John Chapter 14 and verse 6,
00:09:35.24\00:09:38.95
John Chapter 14 and verse 6.
00:09:38.96\00:09:42.86
We're turning to
the right from Matthew,
00:09:42.87\00:09:44.78
Matthew, Mark, Luke,
John Chapter 14 and verse 6,
00:09:44.79\00:09:50.61
and it looks like
our cameraman is pointed
00:09:50.62\00:09:52.52
at someone here in this area.
00:09:52.53\00:09:54.14
So, who would like
to read that for us?
00:09:54.15\00:09:56.58
Thank you Vanessa very much,
so John Chapter 14 and verse 6,
00:09:56.59\00:10:01.55
you know Vanessa never
just volunteers herself to read.
00:10:01.56\00:10:04.10
So, we have to
volunteer her for us.
00:10:04.11\00:10:06.33
All right, John
Chapter 14 verse 6,
00:10:06.34\00:10:08.18
what does Jesus
saying? Jesus saith unto him,
00:10:08.19\00:10:12.82
I am the way, the
truth, and the life:
00:10:12.83\00:10:16.11
no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me.
00:10:16.12\00:10:19.86
So, Jesus says
that He is the way,
00:10:19.87\00:10:22.98
the truth and the
life. Now, we're gonna go
00:10:22.99\00:10:25.59
forward to our graphic again,
it will focus on something else.
00:10:25.60\00:10:29.43
But I want to explain
to you how Jesus is the
00:10:29.44\00:10:31.88
only way to the
Father. So, here we are,
00:10:31.89\00:10:34.87
we're back to our graphic.
Once we go through the door,
00:10:34.88\00:10:38.86
if you went all the way through
00:10:38.87\00:10:40.78
the Most Holy
Place or the Holy Place
00:10:40.79\00:10:43.21
into the Most Holy Place,
00:10:43.22\00:10:44.88
you would be where
the Shekinah glory is.
00:10:44.89\00:10:48.73
And that's where the Father is.
00:10:48.74\00:10:50.76
So, the only way to
get into the earthly
00:10:50.77\00:10:54.48
sanctuary was the door.
You had to go through the door.
00:10:54.49\00:10:58.52
As a matter of fact go with me,
00:10:58.53\00:11:00.24
I believe it's John Chapter 10.
00:11:00.25\00:11:02.94
John Chapter 10,
John Chapter 10 and verse,
00:11:02.95\00:11:09.17
let me just look at
this, John Chapter 10 verse 7,
00:11:09.18\00:11:14.53
thank you very much there Tom.
00:11:14.54\00:11:16.67
John Chapter 10 verse
7, you may just add this
00:11:16.68\00:11:19.73
in the margin on your study.
Then said Jesus unto them again,
00:11:19.74\00:11:25.57
verily, verily, I say unto you,
00:11:25.58\00:11:28.44
I am the what? Door of the sheep
00:11:28.45\00:11:32.04
and of course He's talking about
00:11:32.05\00:11:33.10
the sheepfold and
the sheep that want
00:11:33.11\00:11:34.72
to get into his fold, he
can't jump over the fence.
00:11:34.73\00:11:37.07
They have to
come through the door;
00:11:37.08\00:11:38.70
the only way to the
Father is through whom?
00:11:38.71\00:11:43.30
Is through Jesus
and there is lots of
00:11:43.31\00:11:45.29
references in the New Testament,
00:11:45.30\00:11:46.59
maybe you as a
Bible student will want to
00:11:46.60\00:11:48.54
find many more
of those references.
00:11:48.55\00:11:50.99
Those of you at home,
just go ahead and get out
00:11:51.00\00:11:52.71
your concordance
and look up way or door,
00:11:52.72\00:11:55.57
or use one of
your Bible study tools
00:11:55.58\00:11:57.95
or methods to find out
how Jesus is the fulfillment
00:11:57.96\00:12:01.92
of the entrance into
the earthly sanctuary.
00:12:01.93\00:12:05.73
Jesus is the what?
Door. He is the door,
00:12:05.74\00:12:10.03
now the next
thing we're focusing on
00:12:10.04\00:12:12.40
in this Bible study is
the Altar of Burnt Offering.
00:12:12.41\00:12:17.72
The Altar of Burnt Offering,
on The Altar of Burnt Offering
00:12:17.73\00:12:22.01
this is where the
animals were burned.
00:12:22.02\00:12:24.52
The sacrificial
animals were burned.
00:12:24.53\00:12:27.00
The fat was
burned on that altar,
00:12:27.01\00:12:29.19
and fat is a
representation of sin.
00:12:29.20\00:12:31.34
The kidneys were
burned on that altar
00:12:31.35\00:12:34.92
and of course our
kidneys filter our blood,
00:12:34.93\00:12:37.28
so it's something
that, that filters out sin
00:12:37.29\00:12:39.76
in your life, if you could
just spiritualize that whole,
00:12:39.77\00:12:42.29
that whole concept there.
So, the sacrificial animal
00:12:42.30\00:12:45.46
is burned here, the
fat is burned there,
00:12:45.47\00:12:48.52
the kidneys and then caul,
or the part above the liver.
00:12:48.53\00:12:53.82
You find that,
this isn't in our study,
00:12:53.83\00:12:56.41
but you find that
so write this down,
00:12:56.42\00:12:58.59
you're taking notes at home.
00:12:58.60\00:12:59.86
You find that in Leviticus
Chapter 4 verses 8 and 9,
00:12:59.87\00:13:04.91
Leviticus
Chapter 4 verses 8 and 9.
00:13:04.92\00:13:07.12
That's where you
find what was burned
00:13:07.13\00:13:09.36
on that Altar of Burnt Offering.
00:13:09.37\00:13:12.24
Now, when you walk
into that sanctuary,
00:13:12.25\00:13:15.72
you went into the courtyard,
you went through the door.
00:13:15.73\00:13:18.58
The door represents who? Jesus.
00:13:18.59\00:13:21.00
Once you went in
there, you went through
00:13:21.01\00:13:23.22
the right of the
Altar of Burnt Offering.
00:13:23.23\00:13:26.20
And you have
brought a lamb or another
00:13:26.21\00:13:29.63
one of the approved
sacrificial animals,
00:13:29.64\00:13:33.02
to ask
forgiveness for your sins.
00:13:33.03\00:13:35.00
You would confess your
sins on the head of that lamb.
00:13:35.01\00:13:37.85
And not just,
oh! Nice little lamb,
00:13:37.86\00:13:39.94
I'm sorry this is gonna happen,
I have to confess my sins.
00:13:39.95\00:13:42.46
And what you would actually do
00:13:42.47\00:13:43.55
and you wanna
get ready for this,
00:13:43.56\00:13:44.57
because I'm fixing
to get on the floor.
00:13:44.58\00:13:46.20
You would
actually confess your sins
00:13:46.21\00:13:49.31
on top of the head of
that lamb and you would
00:13:49.32\00:13:51.04
lean down on that
lamb and you would push
00:13:51.05\00:13:53.28
that lamb all the
way to the ground.
00:13:53.29\00:13:56.13
Symbolic of the
crushing weight of sin,
00:13:56.14\00:14:03.03
the crushing weight of
sin. So, you would come
00:14:03.04\00:14:07.54
in through the
door to the right of
00:14:07.55\00:14:09.42
the Altar of Burnt Offering,
where the sin is consumed,
00:14:09.43\00:14:13.27
the fat, the kidneys,
00:14:13.28\00:14:15.25
the fat above
the liver, the caul.
00:14:15.26\00:14:17.13
All of that is burned
right there on that altar.
00:14:17.14\00:14:20.72
But you would have
to sacrifice that lamb,
00:14:20.73\00:14:23.54
because it was your sins
that cause that lamb to die.
00:14:23.55\00:14:27.35
Now, this is
amazing, let's go to John,
00:14:27.36\00:14:29.39
our next reference.
John Chapter 1 verse 29,
00:14:29.40\00:14:34.25
John Chapter 1 verse 29
and the Bible says there,
00:14:34.26\00:14:39.54
who's going to read
that for us, maybe Dosang,
00:14:39.55\00:14:41.59
you could read that for us?
John Chapter 1 and verse 29,
00:14:41.60\00:14:46.68
notice what John the
Baptist says about Jesus
00:14:46.69\00:14:51.42
when Jesus is
there near the Jordan.
00:14:51.43\00:14:53.58
What does he say
Dosang? John Chapter 1 verse 29.
00:14:53.59\00:14:56.48
The next day John
seeth Jesus coming unto him,
00:14:56.49\00:14:59.49
and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God,
00:14:59.50\00:15:02.85
which taketh away
the sin of the world.
00:15:02.86\00:15:05.53
So, John the Baptist
sees Jesus and he says:
00:15:05.54\00:15:09.69
Behold the Lamb of
God, that does what Dosang?
00:15:09.70\00:15:13.80
Taketh away the sin.
Takes away the sin of the world.
00:15:13.81\00:15:18.88
So, in our
earthly sanctuary model,
00:15:18.89\00:15:21.40
we go in through Jesus,
we go to the right of the
00:15:21.41\00:15:26.76
Altar of Burnt
Offering, we sacrifice that lamb
00:15:26.77\00:15:31.31
after confessing our sins on it.
00:15:31.32\00:15:33.35
And then the
representation of sin
00:15:33.36\00:15:35.24
in that animal is
burned on that altar.
00:15:35.25\00:15:38.71
Jesus is the Lamb of
God that takes away our sin.
00:15:38.72\00:15:47.58
Isn't that powerful?
And we're just walking
00:15:47.59\00:15:50.45
in to the
earthly sanctuary here.
00:15:50.46\00:15:53.00
So, we'll go to our
next, the next and we go
00:15:53.01\00:15:55.68
in through the door, we go
to the Altar of Burnt Offering,
00:15:55.69\00:16:00.38
our sins have been
confessed. And then the priest,
00:16:00.39\00:16:04.01
the priest would
actually. He couldn't,
00:16:04.02\00:16:06.83
he wasn't to bathe himself,
the priest was to be bathed.
00:16:06.84\00:16:10.57
They actually
built a little room here,
00:16:10.58\00:16:13.60
a little and I think
it just had linen cloth
00:16:13.61\00:16:15.86
in the outside of
it, I'm not sure about
00:16:15.87\00:16:17.18
the material that
it was build with.
00:16:17.19\00:16:18.91
But the priest would go in there
and then another priest would
00:16:18.92\00:16:24.10
wash him, when
Aaron and his sons
00:16:24.11\00:16:26.87
were going to
go into the temple,
00:16:26.88\00:16:28.83
it was Moses that washed them.
00:16:28.84\00:16:31.68
And you'll
remember, you'll remember
00:16:31.69\00:16:33.59
very vividly when, when
Philip gets into his study,
00:16:33.60\00:16:37.52
you will; you will remember
what I'm telling you right now.
00:16:37.53\00:16:40.32
That we cannot
wash away our own sins,
00:16:40.33\00:16:45.11
but Jesus is the one that
has to cleanse us from our sins.
00:16:45.12\00:16:52.20
And so when we get
to the New Testament,
00:16:52.21\00:16:54.66
we see Jesus actually
telling us that he is the water,
00:16:54.67\00:16:59.68
he is the one that
gives us eternal life.
00:16:59.69\00:17:03.20
He makes us clean
every bit of us clean.
00:17:03.21\00:17:08.37
So, let's go to that
New Testament reference now.
00:17:08.38\00:17:11.75
Let's go to John
Chapter 4, you see that graphic
00:17:11.76\00:17:14.87
on your screen, John Chapter 4
00:17:14.88\00:17:17.72
beginning with verse 10.
So, we're already in John,
00:17:17.73\00:17:21.17
John Chapter 4 verse 10.
Now, Jesus here is talking
00:17:21.18\00:17:25.74
about this water, Jesus
is talking about this water
00:17:25.75\00:17:30.02
and I'll just go ahead
and read that one here,
00:17:30.03\00:17:32.19
John Chapter 4
verse 10, the Bible says:
00:17:32.20\00:17:35.55
Jesus answered
and said unto her,
00:17:35.56\00:17:37.95
he is talking to
the lady at the well.
00:17:37.96\00:17:40.10
If thou knewest the gift of God,
00:17:40.11\00:17:43.52
and who it is
that saith to thee,
00:17:43.53\00:17:46.28
Give me to drink; you
would have asked of him,
00:17:46.29\00:17:49.85
and he would have
given thee living water.
00:17:49.86\00:17:54.52
So, Jesus is going to
give to us what type of water?
00:17:54.53\00:17:58.26
Living water, now
if the priest had gone
00:17:58.27\00:18:01.12
into the Holy Place
and he had not been clean,
00:18:01.13\00:18:05.61
guess what would have
happen to that priest?
00:18:05.62\00:18:07.81
He would have
died. He would have died.
00:18:07.82\00:18:10.81
Because the priest was
also a symbol of Jesus.
00:18:10.82\00:18:15.18
And the priest
symbolically carried
00:18:15.19\00:18:18.45
either in the blood of
that animal or by eating
00:18:18.46\00:18:21.39
the flesh of that
animal, he symbolically carried
00:18:21.40\00:18:24.47
the sin into the earthly
sanctuary and he left it there
00:18:24.48\00:18:30.16
until the
cleansing of the sanctuary.
00:18:30.17\00:18:32.50
And this is gonna get very vivid
00:18:32.51\00:18:34.48
when Pastor Sizemore
takes us through judgment,
00:18:34.49\00:18:37.62
Judgment part 2, where sin
is cleansed from the sanctuary.
00:18:37.63\00:18:42.07
But, we have to ask
ourselves this question,
00:18:42.08\00:18:43.84
is it the earthly sanctuary
or is it the heavenly sanctuary?
00:18:43.85\00:18:46.97
And he's gonna get to
that in that next study.
00:18:46.98\00:18:50.51
So, Jesus is we're
go to our graphic again,
00:18:50.52\00:18:53.99
Jesus is the living water.
00:18:54.00\00:18:56.89
Now, lets skip
the verse didn't I?
00:18:56.90\00:18:58.15
Let's go to verse 14,
then I say we have two verses
00:18:58.16\00:19:01.00
to read there,
verse 14 says this.
00:19:01.01\00:19:04.05
Verse 14 says:
But whosoever drinketh
00:19:04.06\00:19:07.23
of the water that I shall
give him shall never thirst;
00:19:07.24\00:19:12.05
but the water that I
shall give him shall be
00:19:12.06\00:19:14.88
in him a well of
water springing up
00:19:14.89\00:19:18.89
into everlasting
life. So, just as the priest
00:19:18.90\00:19:24.48
had to be clean,
Jesus is offering us
00:19:24.49\00:19:27.48
the water that will cleanse us,
00:19:27.49\00:19:29.51
that will give
us everlasting life.
00:19:29.52\00:19:31.57
And you will remember that Jesus
was baptized too wasn't He?
00:19:31.58\00:19:36.41
Jesus is a fulfillment of every
part of the earthly sanctuary.
00:19:36.42\00:19:42.57
So, now lets go to we go
in through another door here,
00:19:42.58\00:19:46.29
who's the door? Jesus.
00:19:46.30\00:19:48.08
Jesus and what reference
is there we use for that?
00:19:48.09\00:19:52.48
John 14:6 and 7
and then Tom gave us
00:19:52.49\00:19:55.12
another one
there, he helped us find
00:19:55.13\00:19:56.53
in John 15
verse 7, that's right.
00:19:56.54\00:20:00.80
So once we go through that door,
00:20:00.81\00:20:03.13
if we turn to the
left in the Holy Place,
00:20:03.14\00:20:06.44
which is the
first compartment there,
00:20:06.45\00:20:08.28
we see the candlesticks,
and I think that this is
00:20:08.29\00:20:11.88
really going to amaze you.
Don't you love Bible studies
00:20:11.89\00:20:14.78
that just reveal
Christ in a new way?
00:20:14.79\00:20:17.10
Don't you love that?
So, we're going to go now
00:20:17.11\00:20:19.26
to an Old Testament reference,
00:20:19.27\00:20:21.13
and talk about
these candlesticks.
00:20:21.14\00:20:23.44
So, our sixth Judgment
One reference is going to be
00:20:23.45\00:20:27.63
Exodus 25 verses 31
and 37, Genesis, Exodus 31.
00:20:27.64\00:20:36.84
I'm sorry Exodus
25 verses 31 and 37.
00:20:36.85\00:20:44.44
So, Exodus 25,
and who do we have
00:20:44.45\00:20:46.73
that's going to
read this for us.
00:20:46.74\00:20:48.58
Let's go ahead and have
Tim, can you read that for us.
00:20:48.59\00:20:51.83
Tim, we're in
Exodus 25 verses 31 and 37.
00:20:51.84\00:21:00.18
"And now shalt make a
candlestick of pure gold:
00:21:00.19\00:21:02.92
of beaten work shall
the candlestick be made:
00:21:02.93\00:21:06.10
his shaft, and his
branches, his bowls,
00:21:06.11\00:21:08.97
his knops, and his
flowers shall be of the same.
00:21:08.98\00:21:13.19
37, it says. Yeah,
in 37, that's right.
00:21:13.20\00:21:16.44
And now shalt make
the seven lamps thereof:
00:21:16.45\00:21:19.14
and they shall
light the lamps thereof,
00:21:19.15\00:21:21.64
that they may give
light over against it.
00:21:21.65\00:21:25.00
So, notice in verse
31 there Tim, it says
00:21:25.01\00:21:27.48
and thou shalt make a
candlestick of pure gold,
00:21:27.49\00:21:30.20
of what type of work?
Beaten work! Of beaten work.
00:21:30.21\00:21:34.87
Then you get down
to verse 37, it says:
00:21:34.88\00:21:37.40
And you may shalt make
the seven lamps thereof:
00:21:37.41\00:21:40.01
that they shall
light the lamps thereof,
00:21:40.02\00:21:42.40
that they may give
light over against it.
00:21:42.41\00:21:45.52
So, here we've a
candlestick that is made
00:21:45.53\00:21:49.27
from beating
something that is pure.
00:21:49.28\00:21:53.78
And some of you in
this room are smiling,
00:21:53.79\00:21:55.83
and you are like, oh, I think
I know where he is going to go.
00:21:55.84\00:21:58.40
I think I know
where he is going to go.
00:21:58.41\00:21:59.84
This candlestick
was made of a beaten,
00:21:59.85\00:22:02.60
beaten material. It was beaten
00:22:02.61\00:22:04.98
into the shape
that they wanted it in,
00:22:04.99\00:22:07.57
and it was made of
pure gold, pure gold.
00:22:07.58\00:22:13.22
Now let's go see Jesus
as the fulfillment of this.
00:22:13.23\00:22:16.42
Now what was the
purpose of the candlestick,
00:22:16.43\00:22:18.46
it was to give what?
It was to give light.
00:22:18.47\00:22:21.38
So, on our next
slide, you will see there,
00:22:21.39\00:22:23.29
we're going to
Isaiah 53 verse 5.
00:22:23.30\00:22:26.56
And you will note
it's the study immediately
00:22:26.57\00:22:30.04
after this one that we
go over Daniel Chapter 9.
00:22:30.05\00:22:34.17
And we're going to
talk more about Isaiah 53.
00:22:34.18\00:22:36.91
Isaiah 53 is one
of the most potent
00:22:36.92\00:22:39.61
prophecies of the Messiah.
So, we're going to Isaiah 53,
00:22:39.62\00:22:44.75
and we will go ahead
and let, let's see here.
00:22:44.76\00:22:48.20
Who wants to read
this? Isaiah is in the middle
00:22:48.21\00:22:50.69
of the Old
Testament. I don't see anybody
00:22:50.70\00:22:52.54
raising their hand, so
I'm going to surprise some.
00:22:52.55\00:22:54.73
Ah, thank you
Tom, I appreciate that.
00:22:54.74\00:22:56.98
Isaiah 53, that's right,
and we're going to read verse 5.
00:22:56.99\00:23:03.63
And I'm almost there, I'll
race you, beat you, got you.
00:23:03.64\00:23:07.14
All right,
Isaiah 53 and verse 5.
00:23:07.15\00:23:13.13
But He was wounded
for our transgressions,
00:23:13.14\00:23:18.07
He was bruised
for our iniquities;
00:23:18.08\00:23:20.95
The chastisement for
our peace was upon Him,
00:23:20.96\00:23:24.44
And by His
stripes we are healed.
00:23:24.45\00:23:27.60
So, was Jesus
beaten? He was, wasn't He.
00:23:27.61\00:23:31.24
Was Jesus pure? He is, isn't He.
00:23:31.25\00:23:36.08
And He was beaten
for our transgression,
00:23:36.09\00:23:39.58
and for our inequities.
And this would be covered
00:23:39.59\00:23:42.59
very vividly in our next
study, the one right after this.
00:23:42.60\00:23:47.34
Where we talk about
Jesus being the fulfillment
00:23:47.35\00:23:50.95
of the Messianic
prophecy in Daniel Chapter 9.
00:23:50.96\00:23:55.36
But what was the
purpose of the candlestick
00:23:55.37\00:23:59.67
in the earthly
sanctuary? To give light.
00:23:59.68\00:24:03.26
Now, you see there
we've an optional reference
00:24:03.27\00:24:05.23
or an additional reference
right beside on your graphic.
00:24:05.24\00:24:07.91
Isaiah 53:5, and its
John Chapter 8 verse 12.
00:24:07.92\00:24:10.88
So, let's go ahead
and just look there,
00:24:10.89\00:24:12.89
John Chapter 8 and verse 12.
00:24:12.90\00:24:17.04
And I'll read this,
John Chapter 8 verse12.
00:24:17.77\00:24:20.26
Everybody is
there, or getting there.
00:24:20.27\00:24:24.14
John Chapter 8
verse 12, the Bible says:
00:24:24.15\00:24:27.39
Then spake Jesus
again unto them, saying,
00:24:27.40\00:24:30.60
I am the light of the
world: he that followeth me
00:24:30.61\00:24:35.49
shall not walk in darkness,
00:24:35.50\00:24:37.66
but shall have
the light of life.
00:24:37.67\00:24:42.41
So, Jesus was beaten, a
pure, sinless man beaten,
00:24:42.42\00:24:50.08
so that you and I
could have eternal life.
00:24:50.09\00:24:54.81
And Jesus said that He
is the light of the world.
00:24:54.82\00:25:00.06
Is this study exciting so far?
It's very exciting, isn't it?
00:25:00.07\00:25:03.74
So, let's go back to our graphic
that gives us the overview
00:25:03.75\00:25:07.37
of the sanctuary, so
we go in through the door.
00:25:07.38\00:25:10.63
We confess our sin,
the sin is consumed.
00:25:10.64\00:25:14.31
The Bible says
00:25:14.32\00:25:16.16
that our God is an
all consuming fire.
00:25:16.17\00:25:18.96
And God doesn't
consume that which is pure.
00:25:18.97\00:25:21.16
God consumes that which is
what? Sinful, or not righteous,
00:25:21.17\00:25:26.49
so that sin is
consumed. We wash ourselves
00:25:26.50\00:25:30.91
just like Jesus was baptized,
just like Jesus said to us,
00:25:30.92\00:25:34.20
that He was the water
of life. We're washed,
00:25:34.21\00:25:37.48
we go in through the
door of the Holy Place.
00:25:37.49\00:25:40.67
We turn to the
left, and we encounter
00:25:40.68\00:25:42.99
the source of light, the source
of light, isn't it interesting?
00:25:43.00\00:25:47.97
Also that the word of God
in Psalm 119 verse 105 says:
00:25:47.98\00:25:51.72
Thy word is a lamp unto my
feet and a light unto my path.
00:25:51.73\00:25:57.52
And I saw
Jessica smile real big.
00:25:57.53\00:25:59.35
Lights are coming
on here, aren't they?
00:25:59.36\00:26:01.72
Every pun intended. So,
then we turn to the right,
00:26:01.73\00:26:05.23
or we just make an about
face and walk directly north
00:26:05.24\00:26:08.64
in the earthly
sanctuary, and we encounter
00:26:08.65\00:26:11.57
the Table of Showbread.
Now the Table of Showbread,
00:26:11.58\00:26:15.78
this bread was
baked, every baked,
00:26:15.79\00:26:18.98
and replaced every seventh day.
00:26:18.99\00:26:22.65
So, every Sabbath
this bread was baked,
00:26:22.66\00:26:25.59
and replaced. So,
there were hot cakes
00:26:25.60\00:26:28.09
put on the Table of Showbread,
00:26:28.10\00:26:30.22
not pancakes,
hotcakes, you know,
00:26:30.23\00:26:31.98
not like which
you get at the store,
00:26:31.99\00:26:33.34
but there were
two stacks of bread.
00:26:33.35\00:26:38.75
There were six individual breads
00:26:38.76\00:26:43.86
in each stack, so
it was a flat bread.
00:26:43.87\00:26:47.43
So, it just lay there was flat,
it wasn't like the nice round
00:26:47.44\00:26:50.15
loaves that you get out of
the wonder bag or something.
00:26:50.16\00:26:52.70
So, here we have
this two stacks of six
00:26:52.71\00:26:56.32
on the Table of Showbread.
And Jesus says something
00:26:56.33\00:27:00.19
very interesting
in John Chapter 6.
00:27:00.20\00:27:03.95
Our next reference is
John Chapter 6 verse 35,
00:27:03.96\00:27:08.41
and John Chapter 6 and verse 35.
00:27:08.42\00:27:12.44
John has a lot
to say about this.
00:27:12.45\00:27:14.84
John Chapter 6 verse 35.
And we will ask Danielle,
00:27:14.85\00:27:21.61
to read this for us. So,
John Chapter and verse 35.
00:27:21.62\00:27:28.11
So, Danielle, if you
could read that for us,
00:27:28.12\00:27:29.76
we're in John the 6th
Chapter, the 35th verse,
00:27:29.77\00:27:33.25
and what does Jesus say
there? And Jesus said unto them,
00:27:33.26\00:27:37.09
I am the bread of
life: he that cometh
00:27:37.10\00:27:39.37
to me shall never hunger;
and he that believeth on me
00:27:39.38\00:27:42.87
shall never thirst. Jesus
said, I'm the bread of life.
00:27:42.88\00:27:49.24
Jesus said, I'm
the bread of life.
00:27:49.25\00:27:52.23
Now some of you are asking
how do you know that those
00:27:52.24\00:27:54.32
loaves were made every Sabbath.
00:27:54.33\00:27:56.42
Well all you have
to do write this down,
00:27:56.43\00:27:57.89
we're not going to turn there.
00:27:57.90\00:27:59.11
Then if you download
this from the Internet,
00:27:59.12\00:28:01.31
you will see that
this is there on your notes
00:28:01.32\00:28:03.35
on number 6 or
number, reference number 7,
00:28:03.36\00:28:08.69
it says Leviticus 24:5
through 8 is where we find
00:28:08.70\00:28:12.30
that the 12 loaves of
fresh bread every Sabbath
00:28:12.31\00:28:16.72
and put there. This
bread was also known
00:28:16.73\00:28:20.27
as the bread of His presence,
the bread of His presence.
00:28:20.28\00:28:27.29
It's interesting
there. Let's just go to our,
00:28:27.30\00:28:30.79
I believe we've a
graphic here, and we sure we do.
00:28:30.80\00:28:33.16
It's interesting to note that
there are two stacks of bread.
00:28:33.17\00:28:37.70
They are both equal on
that table, aren't they?
00:28:37.71\00:28:43.25
Who is it that sits
down on the right hand
00:28:43.26\00:28:47.40
of the throne of
God? That's Jesus.
00:28:47.41\00:28:51.51
You know the Bible tells us
00:28:51.52\00:28:53.15
that Jesus did
not think it robbery.
00:28:53.16\00:28:55.95
He didn't think
that He lost something
00:28:55.96\00:28:57.77
when He left
heaven to come down here,
00:28:57.78\00:29:00.16
and to be made in
the likeness of a man,
00:29:00.17\00:29:02.59
because He wanted to redeem us.
00:29:02.60\00:29:05.10
So, here we have
these two stacks of bread.
00:29:05.11\00:29:07.85
We've one place for the Father,
and one place for the Son.
00:29:07.86\00:29:12.35
And Jesus says that
He is the bread of life.
00:29:12.36\00:29:16.85
Now in the Jewish
tradition would call this
00:29:16.86\00:29:19.98
the bread of His presence,
because the recognize that,
00:29:19.99\00:29:23.75
that symbolized the Messiah that
was to come, and the Father.
00:29:23.76\00:29:29.46
Now when Pastor
Sizemore gives us
00:29:29.47\00:29:31.85
the study on judgment
too. We're going to find out
00:29:31.86\00:29:35.01
that right here
this, this table here
00:29:35.02\00:29:38.35
is a representation
of the throne of God.
00:29:38.36\00:29:42.79
And when he gets
to Daniel Chapter 7,
00:29:42.80\00:29:44.74
we're gonna to find out
that during the judgment scene
00:29:44.75\00:29:47.21
that this throne of God which
is what this is a symbol of,
00:29:47.22\00:29:51.41
actually moves.
It has wheels on it,
00:29:51.42\00:29:54.61
and we're gonna find
that out in that study.
00:29:54.62\00:29:56.41
It's going to be very exciting.
00:29:56.42\00:29:58.24
So, once we go through the door,
00:29:58.25\00:30:00.28
we go to The
Altar of Burnt Offering,
00:30:00.29\00:30:02.15
confess our sins,
we're washed by Christ
00:30:02.16\00:30:06.11
with that living water.
We go through another door,
00:30:06.12\00:30:09.48
the candlesticks that
give light are on the left.
00:30:09.71\00:30:12.46
On the north side
we've the throne of God,
00:30:12.72\00:30:15.31
and isn't interesting that
from, when we were studying
00:30:15.32\00:30:19.40
the Great Controversy.
Lucifer wanted to ascend
00:30:19.41\00:30:23.93
above the heights of the clouds.
He wanted to sit on the sides
00:30:23.94\00:30:28.94
of the north, right
where God's throne was.
00:30:28.95\00:30:35.23
Oh! What a blasphemous
individual that guy Satan is?
00:30:35.95\00:30:39.80
And then we turn to the
left as we're facing north,
00:30:39.81\00:30:42.50
we just turn to the
left and we see something
00:30:42.51\00:30:47.09
called the Altar of Incense.
And we're going to spend
00:30:47.10\00:30:49.64
a little bit more time
on the Altar of Incense.
00:30:49.65\00:30:52.45
And its quite intriguing
what we're going to find now.
00:30:52.46\00:30:55.78
So, let's go to
Exodus 30 verses 1, 7 and 8,
00:30:55.79\00:31:01.28
Exodus Chapter 30
verses 1, 7, and 8,
00:31:01.29\00:31:08.68
Exodus Chapter 30
verses 1, 7, and 8.
00:31:08.69\00:31:13.95
And why don't we go
head and we'll just...
00:31:13.96\00:31:17.94
Well, I'll read this one
here, Exodus Chapter 30 verse 1.
00:31:17.95\00:31:22.28
The Bible says:
And thou shalt make
00:31:22.29\00:31:26.10
an altar to burn incense upon:
00:31:26.11\00:31:29.08
of Shittim wood
shalt thou make it.
00:31:29.34\00:31:31.65
So, what is the
purpose of this altar?
00:31:31.83\00:31:33.53
To burn incense on. Verse 7:
00:31:35.13\00:31:36.99
And Aaron shall burn
thereon sweet incense
00:31:38.00\00:31:41.91
every morning: when
he dresseth the lamps,
00:31:42.31\00:31:45.32
he shall burn incense upon it.
00:31:45.61\00:31:48.77
Verse 8: And when Aaron
lighteth the lamps at even,
00:31:48.78\00:31:52.51
he shall burn incense upon it,
00:31:52.59\00:31:54.65
a perpetual
incense before the Lord
00:31:54.66\00:31:58.16
throughout your generations.
00:31:58.17\00:32:01.16
So, this Altar of
Incense in the morning
00:32:01.17\00:32:04.87
and in the evening,
they would put more incense
00:32:04.88\00:32:08.74
on that altar for
a perpetual incense
00:32:08.75\00:32:11.86
before the Lord, for a perpetual
00:32:11.87\00:32:14.22
rising of the smoke.
And it's interesting,
00:32:14.23\00:32:16.86
we go to our, well our graphic.
00:32:16.87\00:32:18.79
Can I back up to a
graphic, is on the right,
00:32:18.80\00:32:21.13
we just back up to the graphic.
00:32:21.14\00:32:23.24
That smoke from
the Altar of Incense
00:32:23.25\00:32:26.49
would ascend over the top
of the veil that separated
00:32:26.50\00:32:30.90
the Holy Place from
the Most Holy Place.
00:32:30.91\00:32:34.29
That smoke would
ascend above that veil,
00:32:34.30\00:32:37.13
and go into the very
presence of the Shekinah Glory.
00:32:37.14\00:32:42.72
So, now we're just going to
go forward two slides there.
00:32:43.94\00:32:46.58
We're going go to
Psalm 141 verse 2,
00:32:46.59\00:32:50.06
that will be our
tenth reference here.
00:32:50.07\00:32:53.64
So, we have 10J1 which is our
tenth Judgment One reference,
00:32:53.65\00:32:59.79
and we're going to Psalm
141 verse 2, Psalm 141 verse 2.
00:32:59.80\00:33:10.06
Now the more we
get into the study,
00:33:10.07\00:33:11.84
the more I realize
that we may not have it done
00:33:11.85\00:33:14.26
in just this one hour period.
00:33:14.27\00:33:16.57
So, we're going to
do is we just going to
00:33:16.58\00:33:17.95
continue recording
it, it won't be two hours,
00:33:17.96\00:33:20.18
but we'll post the rest of
what we're studying here today,
00:33:20.19\00:33:23.16
we'll post that on our website,
00:33:23.17\00:33:24.99
and you can pick up the
tail end of that, all right.
00:33:25.00\00:33:27.36
So, here we are,
Psalm 141 verse 2.
00:33:27.37\00:33:32.05
Who's got that for me?
And Tim, why don't you do
00:33:32.06\00:33:35.42
that again because
maybe one of these cameras
00:33:35.43\00:33:36.99
in the back here can
just shoot over to you.
00:33:37.00\00:33:39.06
Psalm 141 verse
2. Let my prayer be
00:33:39.07\00:33:44.35
set forth
before thee as incense;
00:33:44.36\00:33:47.32
and the lifting up of my
hands as the evening sacrifice.
00:33:47.33\00:33:51.06
Now you
remember, at the same time
00:33:51.07\00:33:53.92
that the evening
sacrifice is offered,
00:33:53.93\00:33:56.14
they are also offering
that incense before the Lord.
00:33:56.15\00:34:00.64
And David here,
David says let my prayer be
00:34:00.65\00:34:04.75
set forth before
thee as what? Incense.
00:34:04.76\00:34:10.21
Now, we're going to go to
Revelation Chapter 8 verse 4.
00:34:10.22\00:34:12.77
We're going to see that there
is an angel holding a censer.
00:34:12.78\00:34:15.68
And that censer
has this incense in it,
00:34:15.69\00:34:20.08
and it mingles with
the prayers of the saints,
00:34:20.09\00:34:23.11
and it goes into the
very presence of God.
00:34:23.12\00:34:28.32
All right, so let's go
to that next reference then.
00:34:28.33\00:34:30.75
Let's go to Revelation
8:4. I told this would be
00:34:30.76\00:34:32.66
in rapid succession,
because some of these points,
00:34:32.67\00:34:35.42
they don't
require much commentary
00:34:35.43\00:34:37.28
because you're just going
from reference to reference.
00:34:37.29\00:34:39.71
So, we're going to Revelation,
the last book of the Bible,
00:34:39.72\00:34:44.43
Revelation Chapter 8 verse 4.
00:34:44.44\00:34:47.01
And Ryan, would you
like to read this for us?
00:34:47.02\00:34:49.31
Revelation
Chapter 8 and verse 4,
00:34:49.32\00:34:53.95
Revelation the 8th
Chapter, the fourth verse.
00:34:53.96\00:34:58.06
And the smoke of the incense,
which came with the prayers
00:34:58.07\00:35:02.29
of the saints,
ascended up before God
00:35:02.30\00:35:05.15
out of the angel's hand.
And the smoke of the what?
00:35:05.16\00:35:09.17
Incense, which
came from the what?
00:35:09.18\00:35:12.51
Prayers of the
saints upon the golden altar
00:35:12.52\00:35:16.57
which was before the throne.
00:35:16.58\00:35:18.65
So, here we have this
incense that is mingled
00:35:18.66\00:35:22.92
with the prayers of the
saints, and it's going before
00:35:22.93\00:35:26.21
the Shekinah Glory, or
the very presence of God.
00:35:26.22\00:35:30.65
But, my friends
who is it that makes
00:35:30.66\00:35:35.15
intersession for us?
Who takes our prayers,
00:35:35.16\00:35:39.63
and presents our
supplications before God?
00:35:39.64\00:35:43.83
It's Jesus, you
are absolutely right,
00:35:43.84\00:35:45.84
and we see that in the
Hebrews Chapter 7 verse 25.
00:35:45.85\00:35:49.45
So, we're just walking
through the earthly sanctuary,
00:35:49.46\00:35:52.71
and we're seeing that
Jesus is even the fulfillment
00:35:52.72\00:35:56.44
of the one that
takes our prayers
00:35:56.45\00:35:58.63
and makes them
sweet smelling savor
00:35:58.64\00:36:03.03
in the presence of
God. So, we're going to
00:36:03.04\00:36:05.39
Hebrews which is to
the left from Revelation.
00:36:05.40\00:36:09.40
Hebrews Chapter 7 and verse 25,
00:36:10.24\00:36:14.77
and who do we
have to read this one,
00:36:14.78\00:36:16.18
Hebrews Chapter 7 and verse 25?
00:36:16.19\00:36:18.99
Ah, Darlene said she
will read that for us,
00:36:19.00\00:36:21.31
Hebrews Chapter 7 and verse 25.
00:36:21.32\00:36:26.34
Therefore he is also
able to save to the uttermost
00:36:26.35\00:36:30.27
those who come
to God through him.
00:36:30.28\00:36:33.30
Since He is always,
since He always lives
00:36:33.31\00:36:37.21
to make intercession for them.
00:36:37.22\00:36:39.50
So, who is this He that is
talked about in this verse?
00:36:39.51\00:36:42.94
Its Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ
00:36:43.37\00:36:46.37
is the one that
takes our prayers.
00:36:46.38\00:36:49.29
He mingles it with
the sweet smelling savor,
00:36:49.30\00:36:53.35
and He presents
our prayers before God.
00:36:53.36\00:36:56.72
So, Jesus is the
fulfillment here,
00:36:56.73\00:37:00.26
even at the Altar of Incense.
00:37:00.27\00:37:03.56
But, we've got one
more reference here,
00:37:03.57\00:37:05.47
and so we're
going to go to our left
00:37:05.48\00:37:07.02
to Ephesians
Chapter 5 and verse 2,
00:37:07.03\00:37:11.46
Ephesians Chapter 5 and verse 2.
00:37:11.47\00:37:19.44
And I'll read
this if you don't mind,
00:37:22.11\00:37:23.91
Ephesians
Chapter 5 verse 2 says:
00:37:23.92\00:37:26.32
And walk in love, as
Christ also hath loved us,
00:37:26.33\00:37:31.65
and hath given himself for us
00:37:31.66\00:37:35.33
an offering and a
sacrifice to God for a what?
00:37:35.34\00:37:39.89
Sweet smelling
savor. Jesus is the incense
00:37:39.90\00:37:48.20
that ascends before
God. Jesus takes our prayers
00:37:48.21\00:37:52.70
and He presents
those before the Father,
00:37:52.71\00:37:55.56
and now you and I are in
the very presence of God.
00:37:55.57\00:38:01.86
Now in the
morning, it maybe well,
00:38:02.58\00:38:04.59
you take out that
little diagram that you get,
00:38:04.60\00:38:08.05
and pray your way
through the sanctuary.
00:38:08.06\00:38:11.17
Go through Jesus,
confess your sins,
00:38:12.73\00:38:16.05
ask Him to cleanse you, and
give you that water of life.
00:38:16.06\00:38:19.60
Walk through the door and see
the light of God in that room.
00:38:19.61\00:38:24.52
Go over to the
Table of Showbread,
00:38:24.53\00:38:26.33
and get out your Bible,
and eat from the word of life.
00:38:26.34\00:38:30.64
And then present your
supplications before God,
00:38:30.65\00:38:34.11
and Jesus will
take what you are asking
00:38:34.12\00:38:36.93
right into the
presence of the Father Himself.
00:38:36.94\00:38:40.89
You notice there we've gone
through the door, the altar,
00:38:43.13\00:38:45.58
we confessed our
sins, we've been cleansed,
00:38:45.59\00:38:47.63
we've the water
of life from Jesus,
00:38:47.64\00:38:49.86
we go through another door into.
And these weren't literal doors,
00:38:49.87\00:38:53.29
these were
curtains. And I wish we had
00:38:53.30\00:38:55.96
the time to go into what
those curtains were made of?
00:38:55.97\00:38:57.85
There's three different
colors in those curtains.
00:38:57.86\00:39:00.10
You have red, you have
blue, and you have purple.
00:39:00.11\00:39:06.29
Of course purple is a
combination of red and blue.
00:39:06.30\00:39:09.11
But to dig out all
these references for you,
00:39:09.12\00:39:11.08
it's just going to
take way too much time,
00:39:11.09\00:39:12.56
but you want to study this out.
00:39:12.57\00:39:14.34
The blue
represents the law of God.
00:39:14.35\00:39:17.21
The red represents
the blood of Christ,
00:39:17.22\00:39:20.18
and when the law of God, and
the blood of Christ are in you,
00:39:20.19\00:39:23.13
you are royalty, you
are wearing the purple,
00:39:23.14\00:39:26.68
isn't that
powerful? So, we go through
00:39:26.69\00:39:29.28
these curtains
here, these doors.
00:39:29.29\00:39:31.46
Jesus is the
door, we see the light,
00:39:31.47\00:39:33.69
we eat from His word, we pray,
00:39:33.70\00:39:36.26
and He takes us
into the presence
00:39:36.27\00:39:39.35
of God the Father
Himself, very powerful.
00:39:39.36\00:39:43.70
Our next reference is the
14th reference in the study.
00:39:44.60\00:39:51.17
14J1, so the 14th
text in the Judgment One
00:39:51.18\00:39:54.70
its Hebrews
Chapter 9 and verse 4.
00:39:54.71\00:39:57.26
We're going to ask
ourselves if I may,
00:39:57.27\00:39:59.29
I'll just back
up a graphic again,
00:39:59.30\00:40:01.50
just back up
there, we're going to
00:40:01.51\00:40:02.96
ask ourselves about
the Ark of the Covenant?
00:40:02.97\00:40:05.91
What is in the
Ark of the Covenant?
00:40:05.92\00:40:09.49
There are several
things that are listed there.
00:40:09.50\00:40:11.62
Yes, I hear people
mumbling the Ten Commandments,
00:40:11.63\00:40:14.59
and that's there, and that's
what we're going to focus on.
00:40:14.60\00:40:16.84
Go to Hebrews Chapter
9, you are in Ephesians,
00:40:16.85\00:40:20.09
you will turn to the
right past the T section,
00:40:20.10\00:40:23.78
and we're going to
Hebrews Chapter 9 and verse 4.
00:40:23.97\00:40:30.02
And let's go ahead
and let Mike read that.
00:40:30.03\00:40:32.04
Would you mind
reading that for us Mike,
00:40:32.05\00:40:33.54
Hebrews Chapter 9 and
verse 4, we'll start in verse 3.
00:40:33.55\00:40:39.62
Alright. And after the
second veil of the tabernacle,
00:40:39.63\00:40:43.12
which is called
the Holiest of all;
00:40:43.13\00:40:45.22
Which had the golden censer,
00:40:45.23\00:40:46.61
and the Ark of the
Covenant overlaid with gold.
00:40:46.62\00:40:49.65
Round about with gold,
wherein was the golden pot
00:40:52.33\00:40:54.94
that had manna, and
Aaron's rod that budded,
00:40:54.95\00:40:57.19
and the tables of the covenant.
00:40:57.31\00:40:59.21
Now you remember when
we studied the Law of God,
00:40:59.22\00:41:02.39
Moses wrote a law
that was put where?
00:41:02.40\00:41:05.14
In the side of the
Ark. God writes the law
00:41:05.15\00:41:07.90
with his finger that
is put inside the Ark,
00:41:07.91\00:41:11.26
that's absolutely
right. Jesus says something
00:41:11.27\00:41:16.63
very interesting in
John Chapter 14 verse 15.
00:41:16.64\00:41:21.18
You will remember it
from the Law of God study.
00:41:21.19\00:41:24.14
So, I'll just put the reference
up there in the screen,
00:41:24.15\00:41:26.32
but you will be
able to quote it.
00:41:26.33\00:41:27.35
Jesus said if you
love Me, then do what?
00:41:27.36\00:41:30.02
Keep whose
Commandments? My Commandments.
00:41:30.03\00:41:35.02
Jesus claims those Commandments
00:41:35.03\00:41:37.93
that are in the Ark of
the Covenant as His own.
00:41:37.94\00:41:44.12
Jesus claims those
Commandments as His.
00:41:44.13\00:41:47.56
So, when we go into
the Most Holy Place,
00:41:47.57\00:41:51.25
we see that on top of
this Ark of the Covenant
00:41:51.26\00:41:55.97
is something
called a mercy seat.
00:41:55.98\00:41:59.50
Above the mercy seat is
where the Shekinah Glory
00:41:59.51\00:42:02.85
or the presence of God was.
00:42:02.86\00:42:04.75
The foundation of
God's throne is His law.
00:42:04.76\00:42:10.02
And Jesus claims
that law as His own.
00:42:10.03\00:42:14.19
Isn't that amazing
that the mercy seat sits
00:42:15.01\00:42:18.06
on top of the
foundation of God's throne,
00:42:18.07\00:42:21.17
which is His law. The Bible said
00:42:21.18\00:42:24.39
in the Commandment itself,
showing mercy unto thousands
00:42:24.40\00:42:28.65
of them that
love Me, and do what?
00:42:28.66\00:42:32.14
Keep My Commandments.
Jesus is just reiterating
00:42:32.15\00:42:36.22
exactly what He
said on Mount Sinai,
00:42:36.23\00:42:39.88
showing mercy unto
thousands of them that love Me,
00:42:39.89\00:42:43.89
and keep My Commandments.
00:42:43.90\00:42:46.72
So, we see there in
the Most Holy Place,
00:42:46.73\00:42:51.18
Jesus represented by His law.
00:42:51.19\00:42:54.32
Now turn with me to Hebrews
Chapter 8 verses 1 and 2.
00:42:55.69\00:42:59.29
You remember, or
maybe we haven't even
00:42:59.30\00:43:01.71
gone over this yet,
but who alone was allowed
00:43:01.72\00:43:04.49
to go into the Most Holy Place?
00:43:04.50\00:43:08.85
The high priest, the
only earthly individual
00:43:08.86\00:43:12.59
that could go into
the Most Holy Place
00:43:12.60\00:43:15.34
was the high priest.
Now look what the Bible says
00:43:15.35\00:43:18.30
in Hebrews Chapter 8
verse 1. I love this so much,
00:43:18.31\00:43:23.21
you mind if I read it, okay.
Hebrews Chapter 8 verse 1 says:
00:43:23.22\00:43:27.30
Now of the things which we
have spoken this is the sum.
00:43:27.31\00:43:31.25
He says I've spoken to
you from chapters 1 through 7.
00:43:31.26\00:43:34.61
Of course He just
wrote a long letter,
00:43:34.62\00:43:36.23
and so He gets to
this part in this letter,
00:43:36.24\00:43:38.31
and He say now the
things which I've spoken to you,
00:43:38.32\00:43:40.81
this is the sum. I'm
going to sum everything
00:43:40.82\00:43:43.64
I just said up in this.
We have such an high priest,
00:43:43.65\00:43:49.14
who is set on the
right hand of the throne
00:43:49.15\00:43:52.90
of the Majesty in heavens.
A minister of the sanctuary,
00:43:52.91\00:43:58.22
and of the true tabernacle,
which the Lord pitched,
00:43:58.23\00:44:02.55
and not who? Man,
man. So, you remember
00:44:02.56\00:44:05.68
back in Exodus 25,
Moses was shown a pattern
00:44:05.69\00:44:11.70
by which to make
the earthly sanctuary,
00:44:11.71\00:44:15.11
so that God could
dwell among His people.
00:44:15.12\00:44:18.15
The pattern that Moses was shown
00:44:18.16\00:44:21.57
was the pattern of a sanctuary
that no man had pitched,
00:44:21.58\00:44:26.20
but who pitched
it? God did, God did,
00:44:26.21\00:44:29.81
and where is that
sanctuary located?
00:44:29.82\00:44:32.59
In heaven, that
is going to become
00:44:32.60\00:44:35.25
very significant
to everyone of us.
00:44:35.26\00:44:38.03
When Pastor Sizemore
goes over judgment two,
00:44:38.04\00:44:41.25
and we go into
the Most Holy Place
00:44:41.26\00:44:43.33
with Jesus in a sanctuary,
but what sanctuary is it?
00:44:43.34\00:44:47.27
Is it a sanctuary here on earth?
00:44:47.28\00:44:49.60
Is it a sanctuary in heaven?
00:44:49.61\00:44:51.84
You are going to be
thrilled when you study
00:44:51.85\00:44:54.58
Judgment Two
with Pastor Sizemore.
00:44:54.59\00:44:57.93
The Bible says here
that we've a high priest,
00:44:57.94\00:45:02.55
that functions in a
sanctuary that the Lord made.
00:45:02.56\00:45:08.83
And that's the
heavenly sanctuary.
00:45:10.33\00:45:12.88
Jesus is our high
priest. Now its well for us
00:45:12.89\00:45:17.11
to go to our next
reference right now.
00:45:17.12\00:45:19.02
What we've done, very
quickly we went through
00:45:19.03\00:45:22.67
the earthly
sanctuary. And we saw that Jesus
00:45:22.68\00:45:25.63
is the fulfillment
of the door, the altar,
00:45:25.64\00:45:28.15
even the fire that consume sin,
00:45:28.16\00:45:30.16
the laver, the
water, the baptism.
00:45:30.17\00:45:32.80
You go through another door,
00:45:32.81\00:45:34.00
you see the candlestick,
the light of the world,
00:45:34.01\00:45:35.85
beaten into the
shape that it needed to be.
00:45:35.86\00:45:38.15
You go and you eat
from the bread of life.
00:45:38.16\00:45:40.10
You turn and you pray
at the Altar of Incense,
00:45:40.11\00:45:42.48
that carries your prayers
into the presence of God,
00:45:42.49\00:45:45.03
where Jesus throne sits
on top of the mercy seat.
00:45:45.04\00:45:49.69
When the foundation of
that throne is His law.
00:45:49.70\00:45:52.60
And He says if you love
Me, keep My Commandments.
00:45:52.61\00:45:56.28
But, there were
two different functions
00:45:56.29\00:45:58.95
that went on in
the earthly sanctuary.
00:45:58.96\00:46:01.83
There was a daily function,
something that happened
00:46:01.84\00:46:05.19
on a daily basis, and then
there was a yearly function,
00:46:05.20\00:46:09.54
something that
happened on a yearly basis.
00:46:09.55\00:46:12.54
Now on your screen there
you see Leviticus Chapter 4
00:46:12.55\00:46:16.10
verses 1 through 7.
I'll simply tell you
00:46:16.11\00:46:18.03
what that says.
Leviticus Chapter 4, 1 through 7
00:46:18.04\00:46:20.93
is describing the
daily ministration
00:46:20.94\00:46:25.04
in the earthly
sanctuary, or the things
00:46:25.05\00:46:28.89
that occurred on a daily basis.
00:46:28.90\00:46:31.27
You bring the lamp,
you confess the sin,
00:46:31.28\00:46:34.19
you lay down on the lamp,
00:46:34.20\00:46:35.55
symbolizing the
crushing weight of sin.
00:46:35.56\00:46:38.05
The lamb is slain, and the blood
is taken into the sanctuary.
00:46:38.06\00:46:44.53
That blood is taken
into the earthly sanctuary,
00:46:44.54\00:46:47.43
and it is
sprinkled in the sanctuary
00:46:47.44\00:46:51.71
symbolically taking your sin
00:46:51.72\00:46:53.90
from you to the
head of that animal,
00:46:53.91\00:46:55.68
to the blood of that animal
00:46:55.69\00:46:56.98
which contains the
life of the animal.
00:46:56.99\00:46:59.73
And then it is
transferred symbolically
00:46:59.74\00:47:02.18
into the earthly sanctuary,
and that's where your sins were?
00:47:02.19\00:47:07.20
With those sins, you
know there wasn't just,
00:47:07.21\00:47:09.32
there wasn't a stack of
paper that had everybody sins
00:47:09.33\00:47:11.76
listed on them there.
There were in the, in symbolism.
00:47:11.77\00:47:16.22
And one day a year,
the high priest would go
00:47:17.98\00:47:24.58
into the Most Holy Place,
00:47:24.59\00:47:27.49
to cleanse the
earthly sanctuary.
00:47:27.50\00:47:31.65
They called this
the Day of Atonement
00:47:31.66\00:47:35.58
or Yom Kippur, or
Jewish tradition tells us
00:47:35.59\00:47:40.50
that they also called
it the Day of Judgment.
00:47:40.51\00:47:45.17
And again, this Bible
study is intricately associated
00:47:45.18\00:47:49.05
with the Bible study that
Pastor Sizemore is going to do.
00:47:49.06\00:47:51.96
So, Leviticus 4,
1 through 7 is just
00:47:51.97\00:47:54.45
to show us what
happened on a daily bases
00:47:54.46\00:47:57.85
in that earthly
sanctuary. The sins are brought
00:47:57.86\00:48:00.67
to the sanctuary,
symbolically transferred
00:48:00.68\00:48:03.01
to the animal, then
the animal is slain,
00:48:03.02\00:48:05.60
the blood is
caught, symbolically taken
00:48:05.61\00:48:07.80
into the temple with
the blood of that animal,
00:48:07.81\00:48:10.35
and some of that
blood is left there,
00:48:10.36\00:48:11.90
so the sin has been left there.
00:48:11.91\00:48:14.28
Then once a year, you
notice the next reference
00:48:15.64\00:48:18.38
up there on your
screen is Leviticus 16.
00:48:18.39\00:48:20.64
And again, I'll just
describe that to you.
00:48:20.65\00:48:22.98
Leviticus 16, each
on the Day of Atonement
00:48:22.99\00:48:27.18
the high priest would go
offer for himself a sacrifice.
00:48:27.19\00:48:32.86
He would offer a
sacrifice for himself,
00:48:32.87\00:48:36.03
to make sure that his
sins had been cleansed,
00:48:36.04\00:48:38.63
and he was ready to
go into the Holy Place,
00:48:38.64\00:48:41.66
and then the Most Holy Place
00:48:41.67\00:48:43.23
to stand before the
presence of God himself.
00:48:43.24\00:48:47.08
He would offer,
if I'm not mistaken
00:48:47.09\00:48:49.01
it's a bullock, he would
offer a bullock for himself.
00:48:49.02\00:48:51.74
Then he would go
into the sanctuary,
00:48:51.75\00:48:53.80
and he would
symbolically transfer
00:48:53.81\00:48:55.49
his own sins
into that sanctuary.
00:48:55.50\00:48:58.21
Then he would come
out and on that day
00:48:58.22\00:49:01.36
there were two goats, two goats.
00:49:01.37\00:49:04.46
One goat was
called the Lord's goat.
00:49:04.47\00:49:06.77
No sin was confessed on
the head of the Lord's goat.
00:49:06.78\00:49:10.46
The other goat
was called Azazel,
00:49:10.47\00:49:14.32
or the scapegoat.
So, what would happen
00:49:14.33\00:49:18.15
is that the high
priest after he had offered
00:49:18.16\00:49:20.29
sacrifice for
himself, and he was cleansed,
00:49:20.30\00:49:22.97
he would come back
out of that sanctuary,
00:49:22.98\00:49:25.85
and he would
take the Lord's goat
00:49:26.50\00:49:27.97
without confessing any sin
on the head of the Lord's goat,
00:49:27.98\00:49:31.52
and he would kill
it. And then he would
00:49:31.53\00:49:33.81
take that blood, symbolic of
the life that animal had given.
00:49:33.82\00:49:39.63
Now did that blood
have any sin in it?
00:49:39.64\00:49:41.57
It didn't, because
nothing was confessed
00:49:41.58\00:49:43.54
over the head
of the Lord's goat.
00:49:43.55\00:49:44.79
And the high priest
would take that blood
00:49:44.80\00:49:46.68
into the sanctuary,
and he would sprinkle
00:49:46.69\00:49:51.21
some of that blood
over the mercy seat,
00:49:51.22\00:49:53.93
symbolically
cleansing the earthly sanctuary.
00:49:55.09\00:50:00.04
Then he would come
out of that temple,
00:50:00.05\00:50:03.77
and when he leaves that temple,
is that temple clean now,
00:50:03.78\00:50:06.64
or is it still
full of sin? It's clean.
00:50:06.65\00:50:10.62
And then he goes
to the scapegoat,
00:50:11.14\00:50:14.70
and he confesses the
sin of all the people
00:50:14.71\00:50:19.02
that have been stored
up for all of that year
00:50:19.03\00:50:22.00
onto the head of the scapegoat.
00:50:22.01\00:50:25.37
And then the Bible
says that a strong man,
00:50:25.38\00:50:28.49
a fit man would
lead that goat out
00:50:28.50\00:50:32.38
into the wilderness
and leave him there to die.
00:50:32.39\00:50:38.39
Isn't it amazing in our
Great Controversy study.
00:50:39.52\00:50:43.15
Not our Great Controversy study,
00:50:43.16\00:50:44.77
but in our study
on the Millennium,
00:50:44.78\00:50:47.71
that Satan is bound
in a desolate wilderness
00:50:47.72\00:50:52.45
for a period of
a thousand years.
00:50:52.46\00:50:54.89
That goat represented Satan.
00:50:57.19\00:51:00.24
Jesus died for
the sins of believers.
00:51:00.25\00:51:04.63
Jesus died for
the sins of everyone,
00:51:05.41\00:51:07.50
but there are some
people that will not confess
00:51:07.51\00:51:09.90
the name of the
Lord Jesus and be saved.
00:51:09.91\00:51:12.83
So, there were two
different ministrations
00:51:14.75\00:51:18.41
in the earthly sanctuary.
00:51:18.42\00:51:20.04
There was the
daily ministration,
00:51:20.05\00:51:23.02
and when we get
to Daniel Chapter 8,
00:51:23.03\00:51:24.80
we're going to be talking
about the daily and how that is,
00:51:24.81\00:51:28.00
was thrown down,
or cast to the ground.
00:51:28.01\00:51:31.18
There is that
daily ministration,
00:51:31.19\00:51:33.41
and in heaven, Jesus
serves as our high priest.
00:51:33.42\00:51:39.88
Everyday you and
I confess our sin,
00:51:41.17\00:51:45.78
and those sins are taken
to the heavenly sanctuary.
00:51:45.79\00:51:49.23
When we study Daniel
Chapter 8, we'll find out
00:51:51.16\00:51:53.79
when the judgment began.
00:51:53.80\00:51:57.34
And we'll see Jesus in
that heavenly sanctuary.
00:51:58.55\00:52:02.90
We will see Jesus
striving with His people,
00:52:03.36\00:52:09.01
working with His
people, convicting His people.
00:52:09.02\00:52:15.36
Because you see
everyday we confess our sin,
00:52:15.91\00:52:18.74
it goes to the
heavenly sanctuary everyday.
00:52:18.75\00:52:22.15
And Jesus could
cleanse it in a moment.
00:52:24.35\00:52:27.28
It's in the twinkling of an eye.
00:52:28.43\00:52:31.04
But Jesus wants to come back
and get people that are pure.
00:52:32.50\00:52:36.85
And, so, He is
working in that sanctuary
00:52:38.16\00:52:40.82
to cleanse the source of
sin, that sin that continually
00:52:40.83\00:52:46.42
comes to the heavenly sanctuary,
00:52:46.43\00:52:47.91
and where does
that sin come from?
00:52:47.92\00:52:49.85
It comes from us.
And so Jesus is working,
00:52:50.97\00:52:54.79
He puts us through
the furnace of affliction,
00:52:54.80\00:52:59.51
so that He can purify us just
as silver and gold are purified.
00:53:00.52\00:53:07.08
You and I can
come to the Father.
00:53:07.46\00:53:09.90
We can come to the throne
of the all mighty Himself,
00:53:09.91\00:53:15.12
because Jesus is the
door, He is our lamp,
00:53:15.13\00:53:21.18
He is our sacrifice.
He takes away our sin,
00:53:21.19\00:53:25.05
He washes us and makes us whole.
00:53:25.06\00:53:27.64
He lights our life
with the word of His truth.
00:53:27.65\00:53:32.30
He feeds us from His
word. He is the bread,
00:53:32.31\00:53:36.69
He takes our prayers,
and our supplications,
00:53:36.70\00:53:39.61
and He presents
them before the Father.
00:53:39.62\00:53:43.24
And Jesus is sitting right there
by the Father on the throne,
00:53:45.38\00:53:49.62
on the mercy
seat. And the foundation
00:53:49.63\00:53:52.59
of His throne is His law.
00:53:52.60\00:53:56.45
But, my friends Jesus
wants to purify us, why?
00:53:59.20\00:54:03.17
Why does He want to
do that, because one day,
00:54:03.18\00:54:05.13
our last reference here,
one day Jesus will declare
00:54:05.14\00:54:10.29
some to be
righteous, and some to be unfit
00:54:10.30\00:54:14.96
for the Kingdom
of Heaven. Go with me
00:54:14.97\00:54:17.19
to Revelation Chapter 22,
Revelation Chapter 22 verse 11.
00:54:17.20\00:54:28.09
Notice the declaration
that Jesus makes here,
00:54:28.10\00:54:30.33
and again this
is the appeal text,
00:54:30.34\00:54:31.94
so I'm going to read this,
I know I've read lot of them,
00:54:31.95\00:54:34.43
but when I get excited,
I just can't stop myself.
00:54:34.44\00:54:37.25
The Bible says
Revelation 22 verse 11.
00:54:37.26\00:54:40.93
Jesus makes this declaration,
00:54:40.94\00:54:43.61
in my mind's eye I don't think
00:54:43.62\00:54:46.01
He makes it
joyfully when He starts out,
00:54:46.02\00:54:49.63
because this is
what He declares.
00:54:49.64\00:54:51.68
He that is unjust,
let him be unjust still.
00:54:51.69\00:54:57.65
Was that person already unjust
00:54:58.69\00:55:00.08
before he declared
them to be unjust, yes.
00:55:00.09\00:55:02.66
He says let him be unjust still,
00:55:02.67\00:55:06.41
and he which is
filthy, let him be what?
00:55:06.42\00:55:09.30
Filthy still. I can
imagine He has tears,
00:55:09.31\00:55:13.30
that sadness in His eye
when He makes that declaration,
00:55:13.31\00:55:16.79
but He makes that declaration
because there are people
00:55:16.80\00:55:19.76
on earth that are righteous.
There are people on earth
00:55:19.77\00:55:22.89
that have responded to
the cleansing of God's temple.
00:55:22.90\00:55:27.57
And then He says in verse 11:
00:55:27.58\00:55:29.55
And He that is righteous,
let him be righteousness still.
00:55:29.56\00:55:34.43
And He that is holy,
oh Father let him be what?
00:55:34.44\00:55:38.23
Holy still. And
then He is so excited,
00:55:38.24\00:55:41.01
He said behold I come quickly,
and My reward is with me
00:55:41.02\00:55:45.60
to give every man
according as his work shall be.
00:55:45.61\00:55:49.99
Friends, you are I are
not saved by our works,
00:55:50.00\00:55:53.20
but we're rewarded by our works.
00:55:53.21\00:55:56.26
We're not saved by our works,
00:55:57.56\00:56:00.76
but they carry a heavy weight
in the judgment, don't they?
00:56:01.05\00:56:05.00
You and I are saved
by grace through faith.
00:56:05.01\00:56:08.91
It's a gift of
God. But that faith must
00:56:09.76\00:56:14.51
exemplify itself in a
work that glorifies Jesus,
00:56:14.52\00:56:19.62
our high priest in
the heavenly sanctuary.
00:56:19.63\00:56:24.05
What we've done is we've walked
00:56:24.90\00:56:27.35
into the very presence of
God, but Jesus has been with us
00:56:27.36\00:56:32.29
step by step. We
went through the door.
00:56:32.30\00:56:36.41
We went through the curtain.
00:56:36.42\00:56:37.97
We went through the
Altar of Burnt Offering.
00:56:37.98\00:56:40.89
We confessed our
sins, we were cleansed
00:56:40.90\00:56:43.00
by the water of life.
We went in and we basked
00:56:43.01\00:56:46.27
in the presence of
the light of Jesus.
00:56:46.28\00:56:48.87
We ate from the
table of Showbread.
00:56:48.88\00:56:51.25
We presented our
supplication before God,
00:56:51.26\00:56:53.97
and now we're in a
very presence of God.
00:56:53.98\00:56:57.33
And when you are in
the presence of God,
00:56:58.32\00:57:00.93
you are holy.
Jesus never left us,
00:57:00.94\00:57:08.71
He fulfilled His promise,
and lo, I'm with you always
00:57:08.72\00:57:12.61
even unto the end of the world.
00:57:12.62\00:57:16.36
This study about the
daily and the yearly would
00:57:16.37\00:57:19.76
become very vivid as we study
our Judgment Chapter 2 message.
00:57:19.77\00:57:26.40
We're very glad that
Jesus has been here with us.
00:57:28.43\00:57:32.14
We're very glad that
you could join us here
00:57:32.15\00:57:34.66
at the Lay
Institute for Evangelism.
00:57:34.67\00:57:37.95
It's our prayer
that Jesus will fill you
00:57:37.96\00:57:40.18
with His Spirit,
as He has done for us.
00:57:40.19\00:57:42.64
