Music...
00:00:01.36\00:00:25.92
Welcome, my name is David Shin
00:00:25.95\00:00:28.39
and I want to
welcome you and invite you
00:00:28.42\00:00:31.49
in our study of the sanctuary,
salvation and our Savior.
00:00:31.53\00:00:36.06
We've been looking at
the sanctuary as a model...
00:00:36.10\00:00:39.30
a replica of the
heavenly sanctuary above
00:00:39.33\00:00:42.24
and it tells us
what Jesus has done...
00:00:42.27\00:00:45.11
is doing...
00:00:45.17\00:00:46.57
and will do.
00:00:46.61\00:00:47.98
In Psalm 77, the Bible indicates
00:00:48.31\00:00:51.51
that Your way, O
God, is in the sanctuary.
00:00:51.55\00:00:56.12
In other words, if we want to
understand the workings of God
00:00:56.15\00:01:00.86
in the plan of salvation,
00:01:00.89\00:01:02.39
we need to look in the sanctuary
and God has illustrated for us
00:01:02.42\00:01:06.96
in kindergarten
terms... in picturesque language
00:01:07.00\00:01:11.30
how God will
bring us back to Eden.
00:01:11.33\00:01:14.77
It shows us how Eden was lost
00:01:14.80\00:01:17.41
and how God will
restore Eden back to us again.
00:01:17.44\00:01:21.28
Now, let's go to our screen here
00:01:21.31\00:01:23.11
and take a look at
the bird's eye view
00:01:23.14\00:01:26.18
of the sanctuary.
00:01:26.21\00:01:27.65
This was the sanctuary
that was given to Moses by God
00:01:27.68\00:01:31.15
and there are three different
compartments in the sanctuary.
00:01:31.19\00:01:34.76
You have the Outer Court,
00:01:34.79\00:01:36.39
you have the Holy Place
00:01:36.42\00:01:37.96
and you have
the Most Holy Place.
00:01:37.99\00:01:40.70
In the Courtyard, you
have two articles of furniture,
00:01:40.73\00:01:44.30
you have the
Altar of Burnt Offering
00:01:44.33\00:01:46.10
and the Laver,
00:01:46.13\00:01:47.47
in the Holy Place you
have the Table of Shewbread,
00:01:47.50\00:01:50.07
the Altar of
Incense and the Lampstand
00:01:50.11\00:01:52.37
and in the Holy Place, you
have the Ark of the Covenant.
00:01:52.44\00:01:56.51
Now, the sanctuary was
not a very large structure,
00:01:56.54\00:02:00.38
it was 75 feet wide and a
150 feet long... a rectangle,
00:02:00.42\00:02:07.29
There was no floor
to the sanctuary either.
00:02:07.32\00:02:10.76
It had come all the way
down in a sense of a metaphor
00:02:10.79\00:02:15.66
of heaven coming
all the way down...
00:02:15.70\00:02:17.03
there was no separation
between the Ark of the Covenant
00:02:17.07\00:02:19.77
which had the
Shekinah Glory of God
00:02:19.80\00:02:21.87
and the floor...
the same terra firma...
00:02:21.90\00:02:25.21
the same ground that the
Ark of the Covenant was on
00:02:25.24\00:02:29.34
was the same ground that every
Israelite and Jew walked upon
00:02:29.38\00:02:33.11
illustrating that heaven
had come all the way down,
00:02:33.15\00:02:36.58
there was no barrier
between heaven and earth.
00:02:36.65\00:02:40.36
There was only one
way into the sanctuary...
00:02:40.39\00:02:44.06
one door... one access point,
00:02:44.09\00:02:46.59
it was not like as though there
were like five access points,
00:02:46.63\00:02:50.40
there was one way...
00:02:50.43\00:02:51.77
illustrating that there
was only one way to God.
00:02:51.80\00:02:55.77
Jesus said, "I am the
way, the truth and the life. "
00:02:55.80\00:02:59.84
There were...
00:02:59.87\00:03:01.41
there was this interesting
element of the sanctuary
00:03:01.44\00:03:05.11
in that, it was a
linen cloth that covered
00:03:05.15\00:03:09.75
the external
part of the sanctuary.
00:03:09.78\00:03:13.25
It was not a gate or a bar...
00:03:13.29\00:03:16.89
it was not a fence
that was barbed wire,
00:03:16.93\00:03:20.80
it was a linen fence
00:03:20.83\00:03:22.46
and furthermore, the
entrance to the sanctuary
00:03:22.50\00:03:27.37
was actually a veil...
00:03:27.40\00:03:29.54
it was not a... a gated
fence with a combination lock
00:03:29.57\00:03:34.24
and it was not this gated
community with a key-in code
00:03:34.28\00:03:38.91
or you didn't have to
pay entrance to get it,
00:03:38.95\00:03:41.08
it was veiled indicating
00:03:41.12\00:03:43.28
that God was inviting
His people to come in.
00:03:43.32\00:03:46.52
At the same time,
there was a sense of...
00:03:46.55\00:03:49.72
a sense of reverence and awe.
00:03:49.76\00:03:52.79
Another thing that's
interesting about the sanctuary
00:03:52.83\00:03:56.00
is that, there were actually
three veils into the sanctuary,
00:03:56.03\00:04:00.97
there was the veil
into the Courtyard...
00:04:01.00\00:04:03.30
there was the veil
into the Holy Place...
00:04:03.34\00:04:06.24
and also a veil
into the Most Holy Place
00:04:06.27\00:04:09.14
and this is
evidenced by Scripture.
00:04:09.18\00:04:11.45
In Exodus chapter
25 verses 9 through 15,
00:04:11.51\00:04:14.18
there was one way
into the sanctuary,
00:04:14.22\00:04:16.89
the way was through veils
00:04:16.92\00:04:18.65
and there were three
veils into the sanctuary.
00:04:18.69\00:04:23.12
These veils indicated
that God was calling His people
00:04:23.16\00:04:27.83
into the Courtyard...
00:04:27.86\00:04:29.70
and into the Holy Place
00:04:29.73\00:04:31.53
and into the Most Holy Place
00:04:31.57\00:04:34.40
and you can see those
references there on the screen.
00:04:34.44\00:04:38.04
Now, I want to go
through and cover a few points
00:04:38.07\00:04:42.48
of how the sanctuary
00:04:42.51\00:04:44.21
is actually all about Jesus.
00:04:44.25\00:04:46.75
Many people have asked
the question, you know,
00:04:46.78\00:04:48.25
"Why... why is the
sanctuary so important?"
00:04:48.28\00:04:50.89
Well, because Jesus is important
00:04:50.92\00:04:53.99
and the entire
sanctuary structure
00:04:54.02\00:04:57.06
pointed to Jesus Christ.
00:04:57.09\00:04:59.59
In fact, the sanctuary
itself is an embodiment
00:04:59.63\00:05:04.50
of what Jesus
came... over 2,000 years ago
00:05:04.53\00:05:09.37
in human form.
00:05:09.40\00:05:10.74
It... it
typifies His incarnation
00:05:10.77\00:05:14.34
and as we noted,
the sanctuary reveals
00:05:14.38\00:05:18.55
the incarnation of Jesus Christ.
00:05:18.58\00:05:21.75
Jesus did not come in the
form of Adam before the fall.
00:05:21.78\00:05:26.89
He came in the physical
form of Adam after the fall,
00:05:26.96\00:05:32.03
He came looking
just like you and me
00:05:32.06\00:05:35.76
and this divinity...
the Shekinah Glory of God
00:05:35.80\00:05:39.93
was veiled in humanity.
00:05:39.97\00:05:43.91
Just like the
sanctuary had a veil around it,
00:05:43.94\00:05:48.08
the outer court...
00:05:48.14\00:05:49.54
and then the... the
covering of the Holy Place
00:05:49.58\00:05:52.31
and the Most Holy Place,
00:05:52.35\00:05:53.68
there was a linen
cloth that shielded
00:05:53.72\00:05:56.22
the Shekinah Glory of God,
00:05:56.25\00:05:57.89
the Bible tells
us that Emmanuel...
00:05:57.92\00:06:00.42
God with us... in other words,
00:06:00.46\00:06:02.42
God came all the way
down from heaven to earth,
00:06:02.46\00:06:06.39
there was no separation
between heaven and earth
00:06:06.43\00:06:11.00
but His divinity was
actually clothed in humanity.
00:06:11.03\00:06:15.60
Here it is in
Exodus chapter 25 verse 8,
00:06:15.64\00:06:18.31
referring to this
idea of the sanctuary,
00:06:18.34\00:06:20.91
"Let them make me a sanctuary
that I may dwell among them. "
00:06:20.98\00:06:26.01
You can see that the intention
of God in the sanctuary...
00:06:26.05\00:06:31.05
the sanctuary
motif... the sanctuary idea...
00:06:31.09\00:06:33.52
the intention of
God in the Sanctuary,
00:06:33.56\00:06:36.09
was to bring
heaven all the way down
00:06:36.12\00:06:39.19
so that God could
dwell with Emmanuel...
00:06:39.26\00:06:42.26
as Emmanuel... God with us...
00:06:42.30\00:06:44.73
and when Jesus came...
look at the Scriptures...
00:06:44.77\00:06:48.07
because in John
chapter 1 and verse 14,
00:06:48.10\00:06:50.67
the Bible tells us, "And
the Word was made flesh.. "
00:06:50.71\00:06:54.81
and notice the
nuance of the language here,
00:06:54.84\00:06:57.38
"and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory... "
00:06:57.41\00:07:03.49
this is sanctuary language.
00:07:03.52\00:07:05.49
This is almost
a direct reference
00:07:05.52\00:07:07.79
to Exodus chapter 25
verse 8 where God said to Moses,
00:07:07.82\00:07:11.66
"Let them make me a sanctuary
that I may dwell among them. "
00:07:11.69\00:07:17.40
In other words, Jesus is
the embodiment of the sanctuary.
00:07:17.43\00:07:23.10
When God told Moses
to build the sanctuary,
00:07:23.14\00:07:26.07
He was actually
pointing forward to a time
00:07:26.11\00:07:28.94
in which Jesus Christ would
come and become the embodiment
00:07:28.98\00:07:33.82
of what the
sanctuary motif typified.
00:07:33.85\00:07:36.99
The sanctuary
is all about Jesus,
00:07:37.02\00:07:40.09
the entire sanctuary
structure pointed to the fact
00:07:40.12\00:07:44.39
that the glory of God
would be veiled in humanity.
00:07:44.43\00:07:48.66
This is divine accommodation.
00:07:48.70\00:07:51.90
Divine incarnation...
the... the unfathomable concept
00:07:51.93\00:07:57.94
that God would
become a human being.
00:07:57.97\00:08:01.24
In the book "The Desire of Ages"
00:08:01.28\00:08:04.51
one of my favorite books
00:08:04.55\00:08:05.88
outlining the life of
Jesus Christ, page 23,
00:08:05.91\00:08:09.95
"In these words is announced
the fulfillment of the purpose
00:08:09.98\00:08:14.49
that had been
hidden from eternal ages.
00:08:14.52\00:08:16.69
Christ was about to visit our
world, and to become incarnate.
00:08:16.73\00:08:21.70
He says, "A body Thou
hast prepared for me. "
00:08:21.73\00:08:25.97
Had he appeared with the glory
that was His with the Father
00:08:26.00\00:08:30.14
before the world was,
00:08:30.17\00:08:31.51
we could not have endured
the light of His presence,
00:08:31.54\00:08:34.61
that we might behold
it and not be destroyed,
00:08:34.64\00:08:38.71
the manifestation of
His glory was shrouded.
00:08:38.75\00:08:42.32
His divinity... " and
listen to this part...
00:08:42.35\00:08:46.55
"His divinity was
veiled with humanity...
00:08:46.62\00:08:50.76
the invisible glory in
the visible human form. "
00:08:50.79\00:08:56.90
Why is the sanctuary important?
00:08:56.93\00:08:59.07
Why is the sanctuary
essential for our understanding?
00:08:59.10\00:09:02.34
Because the
sanctuary is all about Jesus.
00:09:02.37\00:09:06.07
The entire sanctuary structure
in the way that it was formed
00:09:06.11\00:09:09.98
with the veil
all the way around,
00:09:10.05\00:09:11.61
no floor underneath,
00:09:11.65\00:09:12.98
pointed forward to the
reality that Jesus was to come
00:09:13.01\00:09:17.55
in human form.
00:09:17.59\00:09:19.65
We come to our next point
in regards to the sanctuary,
00:09:19.72\00:09:23.43
the sanctuary
reveals the plan of salvation
00:09:23.46\00:09:26.80
through Jesus Christ.
00:09:26.83\00:09:29.43
Salvation is made possible
only because of Jesus Christ
00:09:29.46\00:09:34.80
and even as though
there was only one door...
00:09:34.84\00:09:38.57
one entrance
into the sanctuary...
00:09:38.61\00:09:40.58
there were not five entrances..
this was not ten entrances...
00:09:40.61\00:09:43.68
there was one way in
00:09:43.71\00:09:45.15
indicating that there was
only one way back to the Father
00:09:45.18\00:09:48.82
and that is
through Jesus Christ.
00:09:48.85\00:09:51.52
Jesus said, "I am the
way, the truth and the life.
00:09:51.55\00:09:55.62
No one comes to the
Father except through me. "
00:09:55.66\00:09:59.96
Notice that Jesus did
not say, "I am a way... "
00:10:00.00\00:10:03.10
Jesus said, "I am the
way, the truth, and the life. "
00:10:03.13\00:10:08.70
When we look at the sanctuary,
00:10:08.74\00:10:10.87
you can see the
entrance to the sanctuary
00:10:10.91\00:10:15.34
went through three veils
00:10:15.41\00:10:18.11
and in the book of
Hebrews, the Bible tells us
00:10:18.15\00:10:20.92
that the veil is His flesh.
00:10:20.98\00:10:25.72
In other words, the
access back to the Father
00:10:25.75\00:10:29.82
is only made possible
because of the provision
00:10:29.86\00:10:33.90
and the
incarnation of Jesus Christ
00:10:33.93\00:10:36.77
and how He came as a
man over 2,000 years ago...
00:10:36.80\00:10:41.04
the door of the sanctuary
equals Jesus our access,
00:10:41.07\00:10:45.47
John chapter 10 verse 9
says, "I am the door... "
00:10:45.51\00:10:49.88
the only reason why
salvation is possible...
00:10:49.91\00:10:53.01
the only reason why we even
have a provision of salvation...
00:10:53.05\00:10:57.29
an access back to Eden is
because Jesus is the door.
00:10:57.35\00:11:03.43
We do not have
access back to God,
00:11:03.46\00:11:06.09
if it was not for the
incarnation of Jesus Christ.
00:11:06.16\00:11:11.17
Jesus is the door
so we go through Jesus
00:11:11.20\00:11:15.60
into the sanctuary
00:11:15.64\00:11:18.27
and the provision of
salvation is only made possible
00:11:18.31\00:11:21.28
because of Jesus.
00:11:21.31\00:11:23.21
So, we come into the
door of the sanctuary
00:11:23.24\00:11:27.38
and the first object of
furniture that we come to
00:11:27.42\00:11:30.45
is the Altar of Burnt Offering.
00:11:30.49\00:11:32.42
This is the first
thing that you come to
00:11:32.45\00:11:34.42
and I praise the Lord
00:11:34.49\00:11:35.82
that this is not the
last thing that you come to
00:11:35.86\00:11:37.83
because this typified the cross
00:11:37.86\00:11:40.13
and the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ
00:11:40.16\00:11:42.36
that He made on
Calvary on our behalf.
00:11:42.40\00:11:44.77
I'm glad that we
don't have to go through
00:11:44.80\00:11:46.90
all these other
articles of furniture
00:11:46.94\00:11:49.04
to come to the cross,
00:11:49.07\00:11:50.41
the cross is the first
entity that you come to
00:11:50.44\00:11:52.97
in the sanctuary
00:11:53.04\00:11:54.38
and this is where you
meet Jesus as our Savior,
00:11:54.41\00:11:59.01
the Altar of Sacrifice indicates
that Jesus is our Savior
00:11:59.08\00:12:04.09
and in 1st Peter
chapter 2 verse 24,
00:12:04.12\00:12:06.35
"He Himself bore
our sins in His body
00:12:06.39\00:12:11.09
on the cross. "
00:12:11.13\00:12:12.59
So, you come into the
sanctuary through the door...
00:12:12.63\00:12:16.03
through Jesus Christ
00:12:16.06\00:12:17.40
and you come to the
Altar of Burnt Offering
00:12:17.43\00:12:20.24
and this
typified the Lamb of God
00:12:20.27\00:12:22.07
who takes away
the sins of the world,
00:12:22.10\00:12:24.37
you accept Jesus as
your personal Savior,
00:12:24.41\00:12:26.61
at this first
article of furniture
00:12:26.64\00:12:29.11
and right there, you
can have the assurance
00:12:29.14\00:12:32.35
of eternal life.
00:12:32.38\00:12:33.72
It's not as though you have to
go through the entire sanctuary
00:12:33.75\00:12:36.95
to the last step
00:12:36.99\00:12:38.32
to have the
assurance of salvation,
00:12:38.35\00:12:39.82
you can have the
assurance of salvation
00:12:39.85\00:12:41.69
as soon as you
enter through the door
00:12:41.72\00:12:44.66
and accept Jesus
as Savior of your life
00:12:44.69\00:12:47.76
and you have
that assurance today.
00:12:47.80\00:12:50.83
You can have the assurance
that Jesus is your Savior.
00:12:50.87\00:12:55.90
He Himself bore our sins
in His body on the cross.
00:12:55.94\00:13:00.91
We come to Jesus
just the way that we are
00:13:00.94\00:13:04.41
to the Altar of Burnt Offering,
00:13:04.45\00:13:06.28
we accept Him as our Savior
00:13:06.31\00:13:08.08
and we can have the
assurance of eternal life
00:13:08.12\00:13:10.75
and your name is written
in the Lamb's Book of Life.
00:13:10.79\00:13:15.26
This is the
beauty of the gospel...
00:13:15.29\00:13:16.99
the beauty of the gospel is
that if you were to die today
00:13:17.03\00:13:21.73
after accepting
Jesus as your Savior,
00:13:21.76\00:13:24.53
you can know that at the
second coming of Christ...
00:13:24.57\00:13:27.94
you will be in the kingdom.
00:13:27.97\00:13:30.34
You see, it's not
about how far you go,
00:13:30.37\00:13:32.67
it's about being
in the process...
00:13:32.74\00:13:35.61
at the very first step... after
you come into the sanctuary,
00:13:35.64\00:13:38.78
you can have the
assurance of eternal life
00:13:38.81\00:13:41.55
and of Jesus as your
Savior and Lord of your life.
00:13:41.58\00:13:44.85
Now, we're going to
take a quick break right now
00:13:44.89\00:13:48.16
but stay with us
because when we come back
00:13:48.19\00:13:50.36
we're going to
journey through the sanctuary
00:13:50.39\00:13:52.53
and discover how
Jesus is typified
00:13:52.56\00:13:55.73
in every article of furniture.
00:13:55.76\00:13:58.23
