S02E24 - Tabernacle Part III - Exodus 29:1-46; 30:1-21

Discover the beautiful, multifaceted typology of Jesus in the Old Testament Tabernacle. Picking up from his previous discussions of the Tabernacle's general structure and its specific features like the Alter, Ark of the Covenant, Lampstand, etc, Pastor Todd digs even deeper, in a journey of exploration through the symbols found within this holy text, and to have a richer understanding of what Christ means to his followers. This in-depth Bible study goes beyond simple explanation into a deep-dive exploration, where the lessons given thousands of years ago in Exodus apply more strongly now to followers of Christ than they have at any time in history. Unravel these concepts and gain a clearer vision of not only your identity in Christ but also your divine purpose.Atonement and Sacrifice: The Priestly Consecration: Walk through the detailed, seven-day ceremony where Aaron and his sons are consecrated as priests. Understand why a sin offering (the bull) is followed by two distinct wave offerings (the rams) and how these sacred acts represent Christ's once-and-for-all sacrifice and the priesthood of all believers.Dressed in Righteousness: Go beyond the basics to uncover the symbolism embedded in the High Priest's intricate garments. Explore how this clothing, designed "for glory and for beauty," also reveals deep truths about spiritual protection, the covering of our sin, and how we "put on Christ."Ringing in the Glory: Delve into the fascinating purpose of the bells sewn onto the High Priest’s robe, revealing a vivid picture of accountability and reverence as the priest stands before God on behalf of the entire nation on the Day of Atonement.The Urim and Thummim: Deciphering Divine Will: Explore one of the Old Testament's great mysteries – the Urim and Thummim. Uncover how these tools allowed the High Priest to receive direct answers from God and consider why such methods are no longer needed, thanks to the complete and perfect guidance of Christ's Word and the Holy Spirit in us.The Cross of the Covenant: Prepare to be amazed as a unique visual pattern emerges: see how the precise layout of the Tabernacle's seven pieces of furniture, when mapped out, form the undeniable shape of a cross. Each furnishing along this divinely architected cruciform powerfully testifies to an aspect of Jesus Christ—His sacrifice, sanctification, and eternal life-giving work.This is not a sermon to be missed and will inspire you to embrace your consecrated role and deepen your resolve to "run with endurance the race that is before us" while living up to the identity you have in Christ. You will also learn that what is a historical story for some, and a deep metaphoric expression of faith and belief for others, that in the modern world through the lessons taught through the son of God and his holy work, you yourself can learn how to be one of God’s priests today.Notes: https://media.versebyverseministry.org/images/uploads/exodus_29-30.pdfHandout: https://media.versebyverseministry.org/images/uploads/exodus_29-30_slides.pdfSlides: https://media.versebyverseministry.org/images/uploads/exodus_29-30_slides_%28no_background%29.pdfWeb: https://versebyverseministry.org/lessons/exodus_lesson_29_30This is a Sermon delivered by Pastor Stephen Armstrong, Check out the website for more resources: https://versebyverseministry.org/Follow or Subscribe to not miss a study.**Note: All the episodes this podcast will host are already recorded and available on the website.
