“And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of [the incense altar] once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement’s; once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the Lord.” (Exod 30:10) Last in the line of reconciliation is the Court, well represented by its altar. In this connection it is very clearly set forth that the blood of reconciliation is that of the bullock…
“So he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, for all their sins; and so he shall do for the tabernacle of meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness. There shall be no man in the tabernacle of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, that he may make atonement for himself, for…
Our journey began in the ‘camp’ condition, even as it has been with all men that being with the exception of the Man Christ Jesus who alone was brought into this world, perfect and without sin. The ‘camp’, represents the state of all mankind,presently sinners all in need of atonement (reconciliation), this is pictured on the “Chart of the Ages” by plane “R”, from the ‘camp’ we entered through the ‘gate’ or ‘door’ (Christ Jesus) into the ‘courtyard’ of the…
“He (Aaron) shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some blood with his finger seven times.” (Lev 16:14) “And it was only a few days thereafter that he ascended on high and approached the Mercy Seat, there to appear in the presence of God for us, as the Scriptures declare. Bear in mind that he did…
“But while Jesus, as a “new creature,” was thus within the “Holy,” enjoying the light of the golden candlestick, fed by the bread of truth, and offering acceptable incense to Jehovah, let us look out into the “Court,” and yet farther out, beyond the “Camp,” and see another work progressing simultaneously. We last saw the bullock dead, in the “Court,” representing the man, Jesus, consecrated at thirty years of age, at his baptism. Now the fat of it has been…
“Then he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from the altar before the LORD, with his hands full of sweet incense beaten fine, and bring it inside the veil.” (Lev 16:12) “Looking through the type to the antitype, (that is comparing the typical ceremony to the reality) let us now step by step, compare the doings of Jesus with this prophetic picture of his work, when he as the man Christ Jesus, had fully consecrated…
“And Aaron (representing our Lord) shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.” (Lev 16:9) “The Lord’s goat (the one for whom the LORD’s lot fell) represented the entire ‘Little Flock’ of the Lord’s faithful followers. They are all alike; they all come by way of the same ‘narrow way’; so that what is true of the company as a whole is true of each of its members. Therefore the ‘Lord’s…
The Second Atonement Day Sacrifice, the “Lord’s Goat” “And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.” (Lev 16:7, 8) “These two goats, taken from Israel and brought into the ‘court’, typified or represented all who coming from the world and accepting Jesus’ redemption fully consecrate…
The First Atonement Day Sacrifice, the “Bullock” “Thus shall Aaron (The High Priest) come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering…” (Lev 16:3) “Be it noted that our Lord Jesus was typified both by the bullock and the priest; that the bullock represented him as the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all; that the priest represented the new mind, the Holy Spirit, by which our Lord was begotten again at the…
