  this dreamer cometh.

  but lay no hand upon him that he might deliver
  him out of their hand, to restore him to his
  father.
• 28. And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen
  and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the

guard

  into the prison, the place where the king's
  prisoners were bound and he was there in the
  prison. 21. But Jehovah was with Joseph, and
  showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in
  the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22. And
  the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's
  hand all the prisoners that were in the prison
  and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of
  it.

20

• 23. The keeper of the prison looked not to
  anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah
  was with him and that which he did, Jehovah made
  it prosper.

Genuine Repentance

• 4431. It shall come to pass, when he seeth that
  the lad is not with us, that he will die and thy
  servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy
  servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
• 32. For thy servant became surety for the lad
  unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto
  thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father
  for ever.
• 33. Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant
  abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord
  and let the lad go up with his brethren.
• (Judah had saved Josephs life, 3726)
• 34. For how shall I go up to my father, and the
  lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the
  evil that shall come on my father.

23
Josephs View of All that had Happened

• 455. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry
  with yourselves, that ye sold me hither for God
  did send me before you to preserve life.
• 6. For these two years hath the famine been in
  the land and yet there are five years, in the
  which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
• 7. And God sent me before you to preserve you a
  posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by
  a great deliverance.
• 8. So now it was not you that sent me hither,
  but God and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh,
  and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout
  all the land of Egypt.

24
JOSEPH DIES IN EGYPT B UT DESIRES TO BE MOVED.
20. But as for you, ye thought evil against me
but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as
it is this day, to save much people alive. 21.
Now therefore fear ye not I will nourish you,
and your little ones. And he comforted them, and
spake kindly unto them. 22. And Joseph dwelt in
Egypt, he, and his father's house and Joseph
lived an hundred and ten years. 23. And Joseph
saw Ephraim's children of the third generation
the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh
were brought up upon Joseph's knees. 24. And
Joseph said unto his brethren, I die and God
will surely visit you, and bring you out of this
land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob. 25. And Joseph took an oath
of the children of Israel, saying, God will
surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones
from hence. 26. So Joseph died, being an
hundred and ten years old and they embalmed him,
and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

  and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore
  smitest thou thy fellow?

  judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou
  killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and
  said, Surely this thing is known.

  sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the

  am I.
• 5. And he said, Draw not nigh hither put off
  thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place

  people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

  have sent thee when thou hast brought forth the
  people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this
  mountain.

• 13. And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I
  come unto the children of Israel, and shall say

  thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah,

  God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me
  unto you this is my name forever, and this is my
  memorial unto all generations.

39

• 351. And Moses answered and said, But, behold,
  they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my
  voice for they will say, Jehovah hath not
  appeared unto thee.
• 2. And Jehovah said unto him, What is that in
  thy hand? And he said, A rod.
• 3. And he said, Cast in on the ground. And he
  cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent
  and Moses fled from before it.
• 4. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Put forth thy
  hand, and take it by the tail (and he put forth
  his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a
  rod in his hand)
• 5. That they may believe that Jehovah, the God
  of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of
  Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto
  thee.

40

  now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand
  into his bosom and when he took it out, behold,

  again. (And he put his hand into his bosom again
  and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it
  was turned again as his other flesh.)
• 8. And it shall come to pass, if they will not
  believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the
  first sign, that they will believe the voice of
  the latter sign.

41

• 10. And Moses said unto Jehovah, Oh, Lord, I am
  not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou
  hast spoken unto thy servant for I am slow of
  speech, and of a slow tongue.
• 11. And Jehovah said unto him, Who hath made
  man's mouth? Or who maketh a man dumb, or deaf,
  or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, Jehovah?
• 12. Now therefore go, and I will be with thy
  mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt speak.

42

• 17. And thou shalt take in thy hand this rod,
  wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
• 18. And Moses went and returned to Jethro his
  father-in-law, and said unto him, Let me go, I

  of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt
  very grievous were they before them there were
  no such locusts as they, neither after them shall
  be such.
• 15. For they covered the face of the whole
  earth, so that the land was darkened and they
  did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit
  of the trees which the hail had left and there
  remained not any green thing, either tree or herb
  of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

58
Jehovah is God of the Sun, Moon, Stars

• 21. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out
  thy hand toward heaven, that there may be
  darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness
  which may be felt.
• 22. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward
  heaven and there was a thick darkness in all the
  land of Egypt three days
• 23. they saw not one another, neither rose any
  one from his place for three days but all the
  children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

59
JEHOVAH GOD ALONE IS OVER LIFE AND DEATH

• 4. And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah, About
  midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt
• 5. and all the first-born in the land of Egypt
  shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh that
  sitteth upon his throne, even unto the first-born
  of the maid-servant that is behind the mill and
  all the first-born of cattle.
• 6. And there shall be a great cry throughout
  all the land of Egypt, such as there hath not
  been, nor shall be any more.
• 7. But against any of the children of Israel
  shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or
  beast that ye may know how that Jehovah doth
  make a distinction between the Egyptians and
  Israel.

60
The First Passover

• 1. And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in
  the land of Egypt, saying,
• 2. This month (NISAN) shall be unto you the
  beginning of months it shall be the first month
  of the year to you.
• 3. Speak ye unto all the congregation of
  Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month
  they shall take to them every man a lamb,
  according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a
  household
• 4. and if the household be too little for a
  lamb, then shall he and his neighbor next unto
  his house take one according to the number of the
  souls according to every man's eating ye shall
  make your count for the lamb.

61

• 5. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a
  year old ye shall take it from the sheep, or
  from the goats
• 6. and ye shall keep it until the fourteenth
  day of the same month and the whole assembly of
  the congregation of Israel shall kill it at even.
  
• 7. And they shall take of the blood, and put it
  on the two side-posts and on the lintel, upon the
  houses wherein they shall eat it.
• 8. And they shall eat the flesh in that night,
  roast with fire, and unleavened bread with
  bitter herbs they shall eat it.

62

• 9. Eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with
  water, but roast with fire its head with its
  legs and with the inwards thereof.
• 10. And ye shall let nothing of it remain until
  the morning but that which remaineth of it until
  the morning ye shall burn with fire.
• 11. And thus shall ye eat it with your loins
  girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff
  in your hand and ye shall eat it in haste it is
  Jehovah's passover.

63
Each Plague Was A Sign of the impotence of the
Egyptian gods.

• 12. For I will go through the land of Egypt in
  that night, and will smite all the first-born in
  the land of Egypt, both man and beast and
  against all the gods of Egypt I will execute
  judgments I am Jehovah.

64
The Feast of Unleavened Bread Followed the
Passover

• 13. And the blood shall be to you for a token
  upon the houses where ye are and when I see the
  blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no
  plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite
  the land of Egypt.
• 14. And this day shall be unto you for a
  memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to
  Jehovah throughout your generations ye shall
  keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
• 15. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread
  even the first day ye shall put away leaven out
  of your houses for whosoever eateth leavened
  bread from the first day until the seventh day,
  that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

65

• 17. And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened
  bread for in this selfsame day have I brought
  your hosts out of the land of Egypt therefore
  shall ye observe this day throughout your
  generations by an ordinance for ever.

  is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the
  congregation of Israel, whether he be a
  sojourner, or one that is born in the land.

66

• 21. Then Moses called for all the elders of
  Israel, and said unto them, Draw out, and take
  you lambs according to your families, and kill
  the passover.
• 22. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and
  dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and
  strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the
  blood that is in the basin and none of you shall
  go out of the door of his house until the
  morning.
• 23. For Jehovah will pass through to smite the
  Egyptians and when he seeth the blood upon the
  lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will
  pass over the door, and will not suffer the
  destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite
  you.

67

• 50. Thus did all the children of Israel as
  Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
• 51. And it came to pass the selfsame day, that
  Jehovah did bring the children of Israel out of
  the land of Egypt by their hosts.

68
The Meaning of the Passover and Feast of
Unleavened Bread.

• It Celebrated
• Israels deliverance from Egyptian slavery
• Their adoption by the Lord as His People
• Laid the foundation of Israels birth as a
  nation.
• Signified the redemption price of their freedom
• Signified their spiritual separation (holiness)
  unto the service of God.

69
3 MONTHS TO SINAI---First Covenant Made
(191) Israel had broken their temporary earthly
covenant with God, but a New permanent
Covenant would be made that would include all
people The temporary Covenant was written on
earthly tables for a fleshly family, but the new
would be written on the Heart for a spiritual
family. Election of God was for all believers in
Christs atonement.
70

• 31. Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that
  I will make a new covenant with the house of
  Israel, and with the house of Judah
• 32. Not according to the covenant that I made
  with their fathers in the day that I took them by
  the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt
  which my covenant they brake, although I was an
  husband unto them, saith the Lord
• 33. But this shall be the covenant that I will
  make with the house of Israel After those days,
  saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward
  parts, and write it in their hearts and will be
  their God, and they shall be my people.
• POSED A PROBLEM How could this be???

71
Thus We Now Have The New Covenant Relationship

• 14. Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances
  that was against us, which was contrary to us,
  and took it out of the way, nailing it to his
  cross
• I Pet. 29. But ye are a elect race, a royal
  priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own
  possession, that ye may show forth the
  excellencies of him who called you out of
  darkness into his marvellous light

72
Our Covenant is made at our deliverance by the
atoning death of Jesus

• Heb. 912. Neither by the blood of goats and
  calves, (104) but by his own blood he entered in
  once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
  redemption for us. 13. For if the blood of
  bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer
  sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the
  purifying of the flesh 14. How much more shall
  the blood of Christ, who through the eternal
  Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge
  your conscience from dead works to serve the
  living God?
• I Pet. 314. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye
  look for such things, be diligent that ye may be
  found of him in peace, without spot, and
  blameless.

73

• The old covenant was kept by the blood of animals
  being repeatedly sprinkled upon the contents of
  the tabernacle -- temple.
• The new covenant is kept by the blood of Jesus
  having been, and continually being sprinkled upon
  the contents in the SPIRITUAL temple of the
  heart. . . .
• The conscience contained all the defilement of
  sin. Constant sprinkling enables the Holy Spirit
  to dwell in it and sanctifies our worship and
  service so that we can draw nigh to God. (Behind
  the curtain)
• HEB 1022. let us draw near with a true heart in
  fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled
  from an evil conscience (Acceptance of service)
  and having our body washed with pure water.
  (Entrance permissible)
• I JOHN 17

74
THE Old Covenants Mission was to Possess the
Earthly Land of the Heathen

• OUR New Covenant Mission is similar in spirit . .
  . By bringing the nations into the spiritual
  kingdom of God.
• Matt. 2819. Go ye therefore, and teach all
  nations, baptizing them in the name of the
  Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
• 20. Teaching them to observe all things
  whatsoever I have commanded you and, lo, I am
  with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
  Amen.
• 2 Tm. 2 2. And the things which thou hast heard
  from me among many witnesses, the same commit
  thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach
  others also.

75
Jesus gave the Combination to Nicodemus

• 5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto
  thee, Except a man be born of water and of the
  Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
• By washing in water the priest could enter the
  temple.
• By the sprinkling of blood their service was
  acceptable to God.
• Thus the combination, water and the blood

76
Jesus entered the Heavenly Temple by Water and
the Blood

• John 1934. But one of the soldiers with a spear
  pierced his side, and forthwith came there out
  blood and water.

77
As this institutes the Spiritual Age, we have
John saying

• I John 58. And there are three that bear
  witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and
  the blood and these three agree in one.

78
Becoming a Child of God In the Spirit then is

• 1. SPIRITUALLY BEING WASHED IN JESUS BLOOD
• Rev. 1 Unto him that loved us, and washed us
  from our sins in his own blood,
• 2. BEING BAPTIZED IN WATER.
• ACTS 2216. And now why tarriest thou? arise,
  and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling
  on the name of the Lord.

79
How the Covenants Were/are Sealed
By Surgical operations sealing family
relationship 1. As a fleshly child of Abraham,
a cutting removal of the flesh.
2. As a spiritual child
of Abraham in the kingdom of heaven, a cutting in
the spiritual heart.
80
The Sealing of the Abrahamic Covenant

• The Abrahamic Covenant was sealed by an operation
  on the flesh by a man
• GENESIS 179 -- And God said unto Abraham, Thou
  shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy
  seed after thee in their generations. 10. This
  is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me
  and you and thy seed after thee Every man child
  among you shall be circumcised. 11. And ye shall
  circumcise the flesh of your foreskin and it
  shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and
  you.

81
The New Covenant that makes one a spiritual child
of Abraham is a Spiritual circumcision

• COL. 211 -- In whom also ye are circumcised
  with the circumcision made without hands, in
  putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by
  the circumcision of Christ
• 12. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye
  are risen with him through the faith of the
  operation of God, who hath raised him from the
  dead.
• Our partRepentance baptism Gods part, the
  cutting away (forgiveness of sins)

82
The Gospel (the word) is the SURGEONS Scalpel
(Heb. 412)

• Hebrews 412. For the word of God is quick, and
  powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
  piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
  spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
  discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
  heart.
  
• ACTS 237. Now when they heard this, they were
  pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and
  to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
  what shall we do?

83

• Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be
  baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus
  Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
  receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
• 41. Then they that gladly (1) received his word
  (2) were baptized and the same day there (3)
  were added unto them about three thousand souls.
• 1. Rec. the word (believed Gods good news and
  repented of crucifying Jesus))
• 2. Were baptized ---(were cut loose (made free)
  from their sins by the operation of God)
• 3. Were added unto them included in the
  covenant family.

84
The Surgical Operation Takes Place on the heart
Open heart surgery performed on the sinner by
God.

• 14. And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of
  purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped
  God, heard us whose heart the Lord opened, that
  she attended unto the things which were spoken of
  Paul.

85
Results of the Spiritual Surgery

• Rom. 617. But God be thanked, that ye were the
  servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the
  heart that form of doctrine which was delivered
  you.
• 18. Being then made free from sin, ye became
  the servants of righteousness.

86
When the Word is Obeyed, The Cutting Inflicts
death on the old man of sin followed by the Holy
Spirits gift of life to the man raised from dead

• Rom. 6 3. Know ye not, that so many of us as
  were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized
  into his death?
• 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism
  into death that like as Christ was raised up
  from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
  we also should walk in newness of life. 5. For
  if we have been planted together in the likeness
  of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of
  his resurrection 6. Knowing this, that our old
  man is crucified with him, that the body of sin
  might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not
  serve sin.
• 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin.

87
The Old and the New

• Matt. 2237. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt
  love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
  with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
• 38. This is the first and great commandment.
• 39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt
  love thy neighbour as thyself.
• 40. On these two commandments hang all the law
  and the prophets.

• The
• Ten
• Commandments
• Ex. 6

88
The Tabernacle Its makeup
and typical meaning as a shadow of Salvation in
Christ
89
The Tabernacle A Shadow of Jesus New Covenant

• Hebrews 101. For the law having a shadow of
  good things to come, and not the very image of
  the things, can never with those sacrifices which
  they offered year by year continually make the
  comers thereunto perfect.

Furnishings of the Tabernacle

• The ark of the covenant Ex. 2510-22
• A box approx. 39 long X 23 wide high
• Overlaid with pure gold.inside was placed the
  tables of stone (Ex. 2516) A jar of manna (Ex.
  16 33-34) and Aarons rod that budded (Nu.
  174-10)
• On top was the mercy seat of pure gold 39 X
  23. Pure gold (Ex. 2517)
• On either end were two cherubim of pure gold
  facing each other with wing covering the mercy
  seat and their tips touching.
• Here God promised to meet Israel. (Ex. 2518ff
  Nu. 789)
• The H. Priest only entered here once a year.

91
Meaning of the Ark of the Covenant

• The ark seems to have symbolized the throne of
  God
• Ps. 801 thou that leadest Joseph like a flock
  thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine
  forth.
• Ps. 991 The Lord reigneth let the people
  tremble he sitteth between the Cherubims

92
A symbol of Atonement for Sins

• 1614. And he shall take of the blood of the
  bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon
  the mercy seat eastward and before the
  mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with
  his finger seven times.
• Lev. 1630. For on that day shall the priest
  make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that
  ye may be clean from all your sins before
  the Lord.
• 1634. And this shall be an everlasting statute
  unto you, to make an atonement for the children
  of Israel for all their sins once a year. And
  he did as the Lord commanded Moses.

93
But was formality enough?
What about Mercy/grace?

• Hos. 6 6. For I desired mercy, and not
  sacrifice and the knowledge of God more than
  burnt offerings.
• Matt. 913. But go ye and learn what that
  meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice
  for I am not come to call the righteous, but
  sinners to repentance.
• Matt. 12 7. But if ye had known what this
  meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye
  would not have condemned the guiltless.
• Never worship as a mere ritual. The right
  attitude of heart is indispensable to acceptable
  worship.

94
Jesus alone was the fulfillment of the true
meaning of the Ark of the Covenant

• He is Gods covenant to man, his mercy, his
  atonement, his acceptable sacrifice, his just
  requirement.
• Rom. 83. For what the law could not do, in
  that it was weak through the flesh, God sending
  his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and
  for sin, condemned sin in the flesh
• 4. That the righteousness of the law might be
  fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh,
  but after the Spirit.
• 5. For they that are after the flesh do mind
  the things of the flesh but they that are after
  the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
• 6. For to be carnally minded is death but to
  be spiritually minded is life and peace.
• Let our prayers rise from humility of heart
  realizing that the atonement at the ark was but a
  shadow of Jesus to come.

95
The Table of Showbread

• Instructions are found in Ex. 2523ff. The
  construction in Ex. 3710ff. It was 3 feet long,
  1-1/2 feet wide by 2-1/3 feet high overlaid with
  pure gold.
• 12 loaves were set (6X6) upon the table with
  dishes and incense holders (Le. 245dff)
• Eaten every Sabbath by Aaron sons.
• New loaves and incense were placed there weekly.

96
Meaning of the Showbread

• Not for form. It signified the coming Messiah. As
  some of the manna from heaven was placed in the
  ark for remembrance by future generations, so the
  loaves were on the table continually. It was
  called the bread of the Presence (Ex. 164,33).
  God was ever caring and providing for His people.
  He was always present (Dt. 32. Is. 4010-11, I
  Cor. 103).
• Jesus was born in Bethlehem (house of bread)
  significant of the heavenly bread. Jesus said he
  was the bread of life. (John 635)

97
The Lampstand

• The golden lampstand (not candlestick) was to be
  of pure gold (Ex. 2531ff).
• It had a stem and six branches, three on each
  side, making seven. The cups on each branch
  burned with pure olive oil from evening til
  morning. (Ex. 2720ff) They were cleaned each
  morning and kept in immaculate condition.

98
Meaning of the Lampstand

• It is obviously connected with light. The
  meaning was far beyond formality. As the light
  penetrated every part of the holy place, so does
  God the heart Jesus said that He (His teaching)
  is light in the worlds darkness (Jn. 812) To
  receive Jesus into the heart is to receive the
  love of his teaching concerning what to do to be
  saved, how to worship, and how to live a holy
  acceptable life.
• Jesus said we are the light of the world
  (reflective of the light of his teaching (Mt.
  514).
• Light is a servant and never served, so are his
  disciples. Never should the Christian life
  become a dull routine.
• Mt. 516 Let your light so shine.

99
The Meaning of the Altar of Incense

• It seems to symbolize a communion with God
  through prayer and daily holiness of life.
• The Jews associated prayer with the altar of
  incense.
• Amos 521. I hate, I despise your feast days,
  and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
• Luke 110 And the whole multitude of the people
  were praying without at the time of incense.
• Rev. 84. And the smoke of the incense, which
  came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up
  before God out of the angel's hand.
• Prayer is not a ritual to be said at set
  intervals. It is a privilegethe heart communing
  with God in deep reverence

100
The Great Altar Ex. 271-8, 381-7

• 7.5 feet square x 4.5 feet high
• Made of acacia wood overlaid with bronze.
• All utensils were bronze. Here the sacrifices
  were burned . There were daily offerings as well
  as offering on special occasions.

101
The Meaning of the Altar of Sacrifice

• The killings and blood cleansing offering were
  done over and over for centuries. Without a deep
  spiritual mind one can see how that the priests
  could become bored, even disgusted. To the deep
  spiritual mind who sought to penetrate the
  reasons, it would become evident with an
  increasing awareness of the principle of the
  innocent being sacrificed for the guilty. This
  should have been evident in the offering of Jesus
  , and was to many like Paul (I Cor. 57)

102
The Great Tragedy

• The Priests missed the spiritual implications of
  the tabernacle and temple worship system. They
  became mercenary with the sacrifices and turned
  the temple into a den of thieves.
• Christ was the sanctuary of God on earth, the
  mercy, the altar atonement, light, life, bread,
  and communion of God with men.
• So sad, that many have apparently turned worship
  into entertainment. For many the singing,
  praying, the Lords supper, giving and preaching
  seem to have become mechanical acts of ritualism

103
Disrespect for Worship as God Would Have it
Idolatry Emerges Read Exodus 32-34

• Moses was forty days in the Mt. Receiving Gods
  Word.
• Aaron bows to pressure from the people to make a
  golden calf.
• Moses returns, in anger breaks the ten
  commandments,

104

• All things pointed to the coming of Jesus, His
  church, and to final salvation in heaven.

THE SABBATH SYSTEM
113
The Pyramidical Sabbatical system

• There was the weekly Sabbath celebrated each 7th
  day because God rested from creation on the 7th
  dayGen. 22-3 Ex. 1622-30 208-11
• HOW WERE THE JEWS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE WEEKLY
  SABBATH? WHY?
• 1. 2 male lambs were sacrificed as burnt
  offerings, along with cereal and drink offerings.
• 1. No work was to be done.. They were to cook
  sufficiently on the 6th day for the next. No
  traveling was to be done (Ex. 1623-30).
• 2. Penalty for breaking the Sabbath was death
  (Ex. 3115 Nu, 1532)
• WHAT WERE THE JEWS SUPPOSED TO LEARN FROM THIS?

114
The New Moon Monthly Sabbath

• 1. Offering of 2 young bulls
• 2. One ram and 7 male lambs a year old without
  blemish.
• 3. Flour, oil and wine were also offered
• 4. A male goat was sacrificed as a sin offering.
• All theses offering were in addition to the
  regular daily and Sabbath offerings.

The Seventh Sabbatical Month

• 1. At the beginning of the month trumpets were
  blown signifying the beginning of a holy day
  (Lev. 2323-25 Nu. 291)
• 2. One young bull, one ram, seven male lambs a
  year old without blemish accompanied with cereal
  offerings were offered as a pleasing odor to the
  Lord (Num. 292-6)

The Seventh Sabbatical Month

• 4. What were they to do and learn from the
  monthly sabbath?
• 4. The Jews gradually drifted from the spiritual
  significance of the Sabbaths. Amos 84-6) Says
  that they were glad when they were ovcer so they
  could sell grain.

117
The 7th or Sabbatical year

• For additional emphasis God prescribed the
  observance of a Sabbatic year for Israel (Ex.
  2310-11 Lev. 252-7) Deut. 151-18 3110-13).
• In the seventh year the land was left unplowed,
  unsown, and unharvested by the owner. Any crops
  which germinated naturally were for the slaves to
  gather and the animals to eat (Lev. 252-7)

118
Jubilee or 50th Year Sabbath

• In order for Israel to reach a pinnacle height of
  spiritual observance twice each century, God gave
  the year of Jubilee (5oth). The land was to be
  left unplowed and the people ceased from all
  physical work (Lev. 258-34 2717-24 Num.
  364).
• The year began on the annual Atonement Day (Lev.
  1629, 259) on the 10th day of Tishra (7th
  month). It began with trumpet blowing (Lev.
  259) and with Jubilee (loud shouting).

119

• Since it was preceded by a sabbatical year
  (49th), God said if they were faithful He would
  provide an abundant crop year in the 6th and 48th
  year (Lev. 258) and with fruit for three years
  Lev. 2521).
• All land was to be returned to the original
  owner, and all indentured servants freed and
  debts forgiven (Lev. 2513-55).

120
Note the Accumulations of Sabbaths, special days
and years leading to the 50th year.

• 1. Approx. 2,184 regular Sabbaths plus special
  Sabbaths (feasts). All Sabbath days in the 7th
  year and in the year of Jubilee were omitted
  because the entire year was a Sabbath of
  cessation of laborious work.
• 2. Each year the 7th months was observed as a
  Sabbatic month.

121

• 3. The 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, 35th, 42nd, and
  49th were Sabbatic years
• 4. The 50th year followed the 49th which meant
  two Sabbath years in a row twice per century were
  to eb observed. God would provide for them (Lev.
  2519-22).

122

• THE SPIRITUAL APPLICATION
• The Sabbath, seventh month, Sabbatic year, and
  Jubilee year all were joined in principle and
  should have portrayed increasingly for the
  Israelite the supremacy of the SPIRITUAL over the
  PHYSICAL.Every seventh day, he was re minded in
  cessation from labor that it was God ordained.

123

• As God ceased from creation (Gen. 22-3), so man
  ceased his daily work which was a means in
  contemplation of the end eternal life. Because
  of sin, the joy and blessings of God's original
  creation were lost in toil, sweat, and labor. But
  each Sabbath was a reminder that God would
  eventually redeem man. Thus, every seven days he
  should have appreciated anew God's pledge of
  eternal blessing when man enters his True
  Restfellowship with God apart from sin.

124
The Seventh month was inaugurated by the special
holy day and blowing of trumpets. It introduced
the month in which the annual atonement and feast
of the tabernacles was celebrated. It should have
reminded the rulers, priests and nation that God
had blessed them, through the year and had
providentially met their every need.
