Did you know? That the tabernacle built by Moses and the temple in Jerusalem were made according to the model that God had shown Moses on the mountain. "You will make the tabernacle and all its utensils according to the model that I am going to show you", "Look , do according to the model which is shown to you on the mountain "," You will make the tabernacle according to the model which is shown to you on the mountain ". The tabernacle and its utensils must have been made according to the model that God had shown to Moses. The author of the epistle to the Hebrews tells us that this was a picture and shadow of heavenly things. That Christ is the High Priest of the goods to come; that he has crossed the larger and more perfect tabernacle, which is not constructed by the hand of man, that is to say, which is not of this creation; and he entered once and for all into the most holy linker, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, having o...

Did you know? That the last place of the Ark of the Covenant in the Scriptures was during the ephemeral awakening under Josiah and by a prophecy of Jeremiah at the same time. King Josiah instructed the Levites, "Place the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David the king of Israel built; you no longer have to carry it on your shoulder." and the prophet Jeremiah speaking of a future time: "When you have multiplied and grown in the land in those days, says the Lord, no more will be said of the ark of the covenant of the Lord; it will no longer come to mind; we will no longer remember it, we will no longer notice its absence, and we will not make another. " Forty years later, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had conquered Jerusalem and plundered the Temple. Less than ten years later (in 588 BC), he returned, took what was left in the Temple and reduced it to ashes with the city. What happened to the Ark? Was it taken by Nebucadnestsar? Was it destroyed with...

Did you know? That the Ark was the only thing found in the Holy Place or the Holy of Holies. It was a chest of sittim wood, plated with pure gold inside and outside, with a crown of gold all around. It represents Christ, perfectly man (the wood) and perfectly God (Gold). Heb 9: 4. It contained the jug of gold which contained the manna, the rod of Aaron which had flowered, and the tables of the alliance. On the arch rests the propitiatory entirely of pure gold. It protects and encloses the contents of the ark. From this propitiatory are drawn two cherubs of beaten gold, placed one at each end, their faces are one opposite the other and turned towards the propitiatory which they cover with their wings to shade it. On the mercy seat, the high priest sprinkled the blood of a sacrifice once a year. It is the image of the blood of his son shed before him that we have obtained forgiveness. As the Ark accompanied the children of Israel on their journey to the desert, Jesus Christ also led his ...

Did you know? That the "Veil" of the temple was torn at the crucifixion of Jesus. God meet his people via Moses or the High Priest in the most Holy place. You had to cross the last veil first to enter the Most Holy place. The veil was insurmountable for the Israelites. But this obstacle for the people of God was removed by Jesus on the cross, "Jesus let out a great cry, and gave up the spirit. And behold, the veil of the temple (nearly 18 m high and 12 cm high) thickness) tore in two, from top to bottom, the earth trembled, the rocks split. " Through this, God showed man that it was now possible to enter the Holy Place, his presence, through Jesus Christ. "So therefore, my brothers, we have full freedom to enter the sanctuary by the new and living road which he inaugurated for us through the veil, that is to say, of his flesh, and since we have a high priest established on the house of God, let us approach with a sincere heart, in the fullness of faith, the hea...

Did you know? That "the Veil" separated the Holy place from the very Holy place and was behind the Altar of Perfumes. Like the veils of the door and the entrance to the Holy place, this Veil also had four colors (explained in the section: door). In addition to the elements of two other veils, "this Veil" presented the cherubim which remind us of the cherubim who were placed in the east of the Garden of Eden to defend the entry to the sinful Human Couple. God had instructed the setting of the veil to separate the Holy place from the very Holy place where his throne was. The sinful man had no relationship with his creator. Aaron could only enter once a year with the blood of the atonement. "" But Christ came as High Priest of the goods to come; he crossed the larger and more perfect tabernacle, which is not constructed by human hands, that is to say, which is not of this creation; and he entered once and for all into the most holy place, not with the blood o...

Did you know? Whether the Altar of Perfumes or the Golden Altar was found further away, at the end of the Holy Place and near the "veil". It was sittim wood, plated with pure gold; he also had a crown of gold. It foreshadowed Christ who was both God and man (Gold and wood). There, there was no fire, except when the priest brought some in the censers which were placed at the top of this "Golden Altar" and that he crumbled the incense above, spread on burning coals taken from the brass altar. There was then produced a fragrant smoke or perfume which, filling the "Holy place", also penetrated beyond the veil, in the very Holy place. He foreshadowed the good-smelling sacrifice of Christ, "And walk in charity, following the example of Christ, who loved us, who gave Himself to God for us as an offering and a good-smelling sacrifice ". The intense sufferings and the infinite perfections of the work of Christ on the cross, for the glory of God, are a con...

Did you know? That the Table of Bread Proposals was on the right at the entrance to the Holy Place and opposite the Candlestick. It was a table plated with pure gold and on this table were placed twelve unleavened breads in two piles, with incense at the top of each pile. Only the priests could eat this bread, it was holy and it was renewed every seventh day or Sabbath. These 12 loaves represented the 12 tribes of Israel; they reminded us that it is the Lord who provides the necessary bread. He reminds us of the perfect humanity (the flower of flour) of Christ who was crushed by the trial of suffering, and whose submission rose like pure incense before the Father. Jesus himself declared: "I am the bread of life; he who comes to me will never be hungry, and he who believes in me will never never thirsty. " C / Let us feed on the Lord, on his Word, his spiritual food, as we like to eat physical food. Ex 25: 23-30; 37: 10-16; Lev 24: 5-7; John 6:35. Friends of Jesus. https://fri...

Did you know? That the Candlestick was part of 3 elements that we found at the Saint place (which had a curtain door like that of the entrance to the forecourt). He was found on the left entering the Holy Place. It was the only light source in the aunt since there was no window. The Candlestick was of pure beaten (hammered) gold, having seven branches and a lamp on each branch. Its seven lamps were cleaned, arranged and constantly supplied with pure olive oil (Symbol of the power of the Holy Spirit) by the Priests. The Word of God tells us that Jesus Christ is the light and all things are enlightened by him. "I am the light of the world, said Jesus. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness: he will have the light of life." C / Darkness can no longer reign in your life because Jesus Christ is your light. Christian, Jesus made you light, shine to show the world good works. Ex 25: 31-37, Jn 8:12, Jn 1: 9, Jn 1: 4-5, Matt 5:16. Friends of Jesus. https://friendsofjesus-christ....

Did you know ? That the brass tank is the second element found in the forecourt. Its shape was not defined. It was found between the Bronze Altar and the tabernacle. It was used for the purification of the priests. The latter had to wash his feet and hands before entering the Holy Places. The sinner is completely purified of his guilt by what represents the sacrifice on the bronze altar; the death of Jesus Christ at the cross. By this fact, he becomes a "priest" capable of serving God. We Christians often contract defilements while crossing the desert of this world. It is for this reason that God has given us a purifying and sanctifying resource which is His Word. It is prefigured by the water from the bronze tank where the priests had to wash their hands and feet in order to be clean for the service of the sanctuary. Ex 30: 18-21; 38: 8: 40: 7; Eph5: 26 Heb 10:22. Friends of Jesus. https://friendsofjesus-christ.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/jesuschristmessages/

Did you know ? Whether the Altar of Sacrifices or Arian Altar was part of the Courtyard. It was the first thing the children of Israel saw when they entered the forecourt. It was the altar on which the animal sacrifices were offered. A pure victim had to give up his life in the place of the sinner who sought forgiveness from God. The real sin sacrifice that these Israelite rites featured was our Savior Jesus Christ who is "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." C / Come to meet God, Jesus gave his life for you, forgave you of your sins and sanctified you. He belonged to you from an elected race and from the priests-kings, glorify the Lord for this grace. Ex 27: 1-8; 38: 1-7, Ez 43: 20-21, 1 Jn 1: 29, 1 Pi 1: 18-19, Ap: 5-6. Friends of Jesus. https://friendsofjesus-christ.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/jesuschristmessages/

Did you know ? That the Parvis contained two elements; the Bronze Altar or Sacrifices and the Bronze Tank. The Parvis was a vast court of a hundred cubits in length, 50 m, and fifty cubits in width, 25 m. It was formed by a fence of linen curtains. The entire enclosure was a holy place. In the background was the building of the holy places. It was wonderful to be in the forecourt, David said, “One day is better in your forecourts than a thousand elsewhere; I prefer to stand on the threshold of the house of my God, rather than to live under the tents of wickedness. " C / You who had the grace to enter into the presence of your God until the Holy of Holies, what privilege have you had?

Did you know? That the tabernacle symbolized the presence of God among his people. It was the meeting place between man and God; the people of God had to be Holy as his God was. It was the mobile sanctuary which God ordered Moses to build on the Sinai, he accompanied God's people to the promised land. Apart from the fence, there was the forecourt, the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. In the square, there was the altar of sacrifices and the bronze tank. In the holy place, there was the table of showbread, the golden candlestick and the altar of perfumes and in the very holy place, there was only the ark of the covenant. The holy place was separated from the very holy place by a veil. The word "Tabernacle" means "a tent", that is to say "a habitation", and it also corresponds to the word "Temple" which is often designated in the New Testament as "the habitation of the Holy Spirit". The Tabernacle was the figure or the shadow of th...

That the first name "Loïs" derives from the first name "Louis" which itself derives its origin from the Germanic first name Holdowig, "hold" which means glory and "wig" which means combat. It can be interpreted as "glorious" or "illustrious fighter". We find this first name in the book of Timothée.Loïs, grandmother of Timothée, woman of faith and played a determining role in the communication of the faith to his children and to his grandchildren which includes Timothée, companion of the apostle Paul. The Bible says in 2 Ti 1: 5: "I keep the memory of your sincere faith, your faith which animated your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice before you.

Did you know? That the first name "Eunice" originates from the Greek. It is made up of "eu" which means good or just and "nike" which means victory. The word "eunike" is commonly translated as "victorious" or "dazzling victory". We can also translate this first name by "Beautiful for the victory". The name "Eunice" is the Latinized form of this Greek term. The derivatives of this first name are "Eunices, Euniss, Eunike, Uniss and Unice". We find this first name in the book of Timothy. Eunice was a pious Jewish woman, mother of Timothy (Companion of the apostle Paul).

Did you know? That two queens were oppressed by the laws of their kingdom and the weakness of their king. 2. Queen Esther, unlike Queen Vatshi, went in search of God, in fasting and prayers to overturn the laws promulgated against her people. Chosen queen to replace queen Vatshi, she owes this privilege to the grace of God, her fear of God, her beauty and her goodness. Haman, Prime Minister of the kingdom and having the confidence of the king, aware of having taken the place of Mordecai, sought at all costs to kill him. Haman had promulgated in the name of the king, a law which ordered the extermination of the Jews, for having Mordecai. His hatred for Mordecai drove him to ruin by the grace of God and the wisdom of Queen Esther. C / Trust God, he is able to deliver you from any situation and give you victory.

Did you know? That the people of Sodom were blinded. Lot received two angels from God in his house and gave them a feast. And they ate. The town people were not yet asleep, from the children to the old people; the whole population had run up. They wanted to do violence to Lot's guests. Lot even offered his two virgin daughters in exchange, but they refused and promised Lot worse treatment than the visitors. They pressed Lot violently, they came forward to break the door. The angels blindly struck the people who were at the entrance of the house, so that they went to great lengths to find the door. The two angels went out Lot and his family from Sodom and destroyed the city by fire. C / Anyone who wants to harm you or your family will be blinded and undergo the punishment of the Lord.

Did you know? May God always protect his children. Saul went to the high priest, and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found supporters of the new doctrine, men or women, he would bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he was on his way, and as he approached Damascus, suddenly a light coming from the sky shone around him. He fell to the ground, and he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? He answered: Who are you, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. It would be hard for you to kick against the pricks. Saul rose from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he saw nothing; they took him by the hand and led him to Damascus. C / Anyone who comes near you to harm you, the Lord Jesus will block his way and strike him blind. Ac 9: 1-9.

Did you know? Let this world come to an end and Satan will already be thrown into hell. The day of the Lord will come like a thief, on this day the heavens will crash with a crash, the embarrassed elements will dissolve, and the earth with the works it contains will be consumed. Since therefore all these things must dissolve, what should not be the sanctity of your conduct and your piety, while you wait and hasten the advent of the day of God, because of which the flaming skies will dissolve and the elements embarrassed will merge! But we await, according to his promise, new heavens and a new earth, where justice will dwell. C / To live happily in eternity with Jesus, we must stand firm until the end.
