THE HIGH PRIEST BREASTPLATE “You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the Ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it. It shall be doubled (folded over) into a square: a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its width, and you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones (three in each row)…they shall be…
“Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel in order of their birth, six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal, then mount the stones in gold filigree settings and fasten them on the shoulder pieces (or clasps) of the Ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel….
In this study we will be taking a look at the High Priest Garments and what they typified, and as it is with that of the Tabernacle itself and its furnishings it should be understood that what is illustrated here is merely the best facsimile of what is described in the texts from my own studies and that of other brethren, and is not meant to be an exact representation. My two primary sources of information come from Brother Frey’s…
“Then Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of meeting, shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the [Most] Holy Place, and shall leave them there. And he shall wash his body with water in a holy place (the ‘courtyard’), and put on his [other] garments, come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.” (Lev 16:23, 24) It will…
“In the Hebrew, when the lot had been cast upon the goats, one was declared to be for Jehovah and the other for Azazel. The significance of the word Azazel is not very clear, but according to the majority of modern scholars it stood for the prince of darkness; and in Milton’s “Paradise Lost” Azazel is represented as the standard-bearer of the infernal hosts—the prince of devils. We agree with this interpretation because it corresponds well with the expression of…
Continued from our previous post. “The Scapegoat class , i.e. ‘The Great Company’ or ‘Great Multitude’, if you will, Rev 7:9;13-17, though ‘castaways’ as regards the prize (1 Cor 9:27) are nevertheless objects of the Lord’s love; for at heart they are friends of righteousness and not sin, hence by his providence, [that is by or] through the circumstances of life, the Lord will cause them to come through ‘great tribulation’, thus accomplishing for them, [that for which they did…
“And when he has made an end of the atoning for the [Most] Holy Place (sprinkling the blood upon the mercy seat), the tabernacle of meeting (i.e. the “Holy”, placing the blood upon the horns of the Incense altar), and the altar (i.e., the “Court”, placing the blood upon the horns of the Brazen altar), then shall he bring [forth] the live goat (the ‘scapegoat’).” Lev 16:20 “After the priest with the blood of the bullock and of the goat…
“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…
