You know, we put this back up because we're covering the tabernacle. And this is a replica of tabernacle in the wilderness. And we find I put this all together by hand, and the gate that the children of Israel would come to, in order to bring their sacrifice, like the little lamb that we have here. And they would come in and lay their hands on it confessing their sins, and the priests would take the sacrifice, and he would slaughter it on these tables and, you know, take the skin off, and then they would put the meat on this altar, this Brazen Altar where they would burn the sacrifice. And then after the sacrifice was burned, on the Day of Atonement, the priests then would come to the brazen lever, and he would wash himself clean. And after he washed himself clean, the priests Then the high priest, he would be able to enter in the tabernacle itself, and the tabernacle was covered with three layers. First you have the Badger skin, or, and this was to represent the flesh, the outer man. And you can kind of see it on here. And then after that you had read, covering, which represented the blood that was being shed for the forgiveness of sin. And then you had a white covering, which represented the purity that we have, through Jesus Christ, then the inside covering was actually of the shoe kinda, or the angels of God. And so every part of it had a meaning. And so then after the priests was watching the brazen lever, now he was able to enter into the first chamber of the tabernacle called the holy place. And in there, the only reason he could see was because of the menorah. And, you know, there were candlesticks, much larger than this.

And incense represents the prayers of the saints. And from there you could go into the Holy of Holies which is where the Ark of the Covenant was, which was the very presence of God. Now this has a lot of meaning to you and I as believers Because we have to understand what Jesus did for us. He's the one who entered through the gate. And it's only through Him, He is the gate of the sheep and excuse me, Sony through him that you and I can enter in. Then he himself gave himself as a sacrifice. And he is the one the brazen altar who washes us with the water of the word but and also by his blood, we're at White, we are washed clean, that allows us to enter in and the menorah is the light of the world. Jesus is the light of the world. And through him we can see and he gives us the table of show bread, which is the bread of life, the Word of God. And then through that, and through our knowledge of Him and through our salvation. We're able to come to the altar of instance and lift up our prayers to God and go into his very presence.
