STEP 5: WEEK 18
The Tabernacle (the word means a tent) was to be the central point of worship for Israel in the wilderness. The Tabernacle was the meeting place between God and His people, a place of worship, praise and seeking the mercy of God. Into the Most Holy Place only the High Priest was allowed to enter, once a year, on the Day of Atonement, to seek forgiveness for the whole nation of Israel. All the construction, furnishings, ritual and order of worship used in the Tabernacle pointed forward to the salvation that would be provided through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ indeed fulfilled all the things that the law and tabernacle stood for. LEVITICUS Leviticus is the book about priests (from the tribe of Levi) offerings and the importance of true worship. DAILY NOTESSUNDAY - Leviticus 8 - Careful preparation of our heart is necessary if WE are to serve God. (verse 5). MONDAY - Leviticus 10 - Again it is important to serve God in HIS way (verse 3). TUESDAY - Leviticus 16 - The Day of Atonement was observed every year; but Christ obtained eternal redemption (Hebrews 9:12; 10:19-22). WEDNESDAY - Leviticus 17 - The life is in the blood (verse11). The 'blood' of Christ meant the giving of his life (Hebrews 13:20). THURSDAY - Leviticus 23 - This chapter describes the Jewish spiritual calendar for each year. By this means the nation was united. FRIDAY - Leviticus 25 - The land of Israel is God's land, though today He is still not recognised as its owner (verse 23). SATURDAY - Leviticus 26 - Verse 33. This prophecy came true in every detail. Israel are God's witnesses testifying to His existence whether in blessing or in cursing. |
