A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued Returning once again to the Great Pyramid let us see just how like the Tabernacle of old it too pictures the steps which lead to the heavenly calling and the Kings Chamber. A little review of the preceding steps however might prove useful before we proceed. As you recall we had determined that like the courtyard of the Tabernacle the “Grand Gallery” likewise pictured all who during the Gospel Age…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued The “Most Holy” As the passing of the First Vail, the “Door”, represented the death of the human will so the passing of the Second Vail (Individual #5) represents the death of the human body; both are requisite to complete our sacrifice, both fleshly mind and fleshly body must be left behind before we can enter into the “Holiest of All”, perfected as partakers of the Divine Nature and its…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued Once again having entered the first apartment of the Tabernacle proper, the “Holy” we noticed three distinctive pieces of furniture in this room, the most notable being the Golden Lampstand, the only source of light for this room. This lampstand we determined represents the Church, both its Head and body as bearers of light (truth). The light which emanated from this Lampstand representing the light (or enlightenment) of the Holy…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued In the Tabernacle picture the dividing line or “Spiritual Divide” which separates the natural man from the spiritual man is found centered over the “Door” of the Tabernacle, the “Kalumma”, or “First Vail”. Only those who have passed beyond this vail, having made a full consecration of themselves, having entered into Covenant relationship with the Father; a covenant by sacrifice (Psa 50:5) are permitted beyond this point. Henceforth all such…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued As stated in our last post, the Golden Lampstand represents the complete Church from its Head, Jesus to and including the last members of the “Little Flock” whom he is taking out from among men to be partakers of the divine (Gold) nature. As our Lord so stated: the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven churches’ (Rev 1:20) The Church whose seven stages or developments were symbolized by…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued Having entered through the first vail of the Tabernacle into the “Holy” or spirit begotten condition the first thing we note is that there are three distinctive pieces of furniture located in this chamber, the Golden Lampstand, the Table of Showbread, and the Golden Altar. These three items are indispensable to the child of God in the school of Christ. In the illustration above we have intentionally placed the Golden…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued Having passed beneath the first vail we pass beyond the spiritual divide and enter into the “holy or spirit begotten condition, hence forth we are no longer recognized according to the flesh, but as new creatures in Christ Jesus. Such, as the apostle explains, are forthwith in THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST, to be taught of him, the lessons and experiences necessary to their attainment of the glory, honor and immortality…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued Having heeded the call echoed by the Apostle Paul to all believers residing within the courtyard condition, viz. “We beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God“—if you feel gratitude for the manifest love of God, and desire to please Him and enter into the blessings to which you are called– “your high calling“–that you do more than you have yet done. If you would follow the example of our…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued Insights taken from Part 15 of The Tabernacle, its Spiritual Significance. THE “SECOND STEP” entering the Tabernacle proper “You shall make a screen for the door of the tabernacle, woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver.” (Exod 26: 36) This door (the “First Vail”) represents our Lord even as the “Entrance Curtain” to the courtyard represented our Lord, our Lord once again…
A Comparison between the Great Pyramid and the Tabernacle, continued “Wolves” in the Courtyard In our previous post we were discussing the progressive path of those (individuals’ numbers 1, 4, 5 and 6) who whilst in the courtyard were steadily taking the proper steps leading them to the main goal or object to their justification now during the Gospel Age. Such individual’s having entered the courtyard trough faith in Christ as represented in the “door” or “entrance curtain” to the…
