Why bother with the washing at the brazen laver and burning incense before the veil? Why all the steps and in a specific order and only once a year?
I mean God changes not - his essential character does not change - so what was the big deal in the OT?
I believe as Moses was shown to doing everything after the pattern in the heavenlies, it was all a shadow of the real thing in heaven and what was to come in the NT.
Rom 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. |
When you pray aren't you coming before God? Aren't you coming into His presence? Church buildings are NOT the temples of God where his spirit resides nor are they the Holy Place.
