Caption transcript for Journey of Restoration: “The Tabernacle in the Wilderness” (8/10)

• 00:05 I LOVE ISRAEL,
• 00:06 I LOVE THE PEOPLE.
• 00:08 IT'S TOTALLY SO...
• 00:09 IT'S INDESCRIBABLE.
• 00:11 IT FEELS LIKE HOME...
• 00:12 IT JUST FEELS LIKE HOME.
• 00:14 WELCOME TO JERUSALEM...
• 00:15 IT JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
• 00:17 IT JUST SHOWS THE FINGER PRINT OF GOD EVERYWHERE.
• 00:19 TO REALIZE HOW SPECIAL THIS CITY AND THE PEOPLE WERE TO THE LORD...
• 00:24 IT'S GOD'S CHOSEN LAND AND JESUS WALKED ON IT.
• 00:28 I THINK THERE'S A RESTORATION AS PASTOR MYLES TALKED ABOUT.
• 00:31 HOW GOD IS REALLY GATHERING THE JEWS.
• 00:37 THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST WE'VE BEEN GRAFTED-IN
• 00:39 AND NOW THIS IS OUR CITY ALSO.
• 00:52 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.
• 00:54 I'M MYLES WEISS
• 00:55 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS.
• 00:57 AND WE ARE CONTINUING OUR SERIES THE "JOURNEY OF RESTORATION"
• 01:00 BRINGING ISRAEL TO YOU AS YOU JOIN US ON ONE OF OUR TOURS.
• 01:04 OUR PILGRIMS HAVE BEEN ENJOYING THE LAND, MEETING THE PEOPLE,
• 01:07 LEARNING THE BIBLICAL SITES,
• 01:09 HAVING SCRIPTURES COME ALIVE.
• 01:10 AND TODAY WE ARE GOING TO VISIT AT MOCK-UP OF THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS.
• 01:15 RIGHT...WE DRIVE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE SOUTH.
• 01:17 ON OUR WAY DOWN WE VISIT A FULL MOCK-UP LIKE YOU SAID OF THE TABERNACLE.
• 01:23 AND GOD REPRESENTS EACH AND EVERY...
• 01:25 JESUS IS IN EACH AND EVERY STAGE AS YOU MOVE FORWARD IN THE TABERNACLE.
• 01:29 YEAH...IT'S REALLY AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE.
• 01:31 YOU'RE GOING TO ENJOY THIS TODAY.
• 01:33 WE HAVE A SPECIAL SURPRISE.
• 01:34 AS WE GOT THERE WE UNLOADED THE PILGRIMS,
• 01:36 WE STARTED TO WALK THROUGH IT
• 01:38 AND OUR GUIDE, A YOUNG MAN NAMED MARCO,
• 01:40 REVEALED TO US COMING INTO THE TABERNACLE THAT IN FACT HE IS A BELIEVER IN YESHUA.
• 01:46 HE'S A JEWISH MAN BORN IN ISRAEL AND A BELIEVER IN YESHUA.
• 01:50 AND SO LET'S GO TO TIMNA, THE AREA WHERE THIS TABERNACLE IS
• 01:54 AND SEE THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS.
• 01:59 (Myles Weiss speaking) IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF ISRAEL IS THE ARAVA,
• 02:03 A VALLEY THAT STRETCHES FROM THE DEAD SEA TO THE RED SEA.
• 02:07 IN MODERN TIMES THIS VALLEY DIVIDES ISRAEL AND JORDAN.
• 02:10 IN BIBLE TIMES THE AREA JUST EAST OF HERE WAS EDOM WHICH IN HEBREW MEANS "RED".
• 02:16 YOU CAN SEE TRACES OF THAT COLOR IN THE LANDSCAPE AS WE ENTER TIMNA PARK.
• 02:21 TIMNA IS THE SITE OF THE VERY FIRST COPPER MINE.
• 02:25 THOUSANDS OF ANCIENT MINING SHAFTS HAVE BEEN FOUND HERE
• 02:28 AS WELL AS REMAINS OF SMELTING FURNACES DATING BACK TO ANCIENT IMPERIAL EGYPT.
• 02:33 THE LIFE SIZE REPLICA OF THE BIBLICAL TABERNACLE STANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK
• 02:38 WHERE THE GUIDE MARCO SAAD MEETS OUR GROUP.
• 02:44 SO I UNDERSTAND YOU GUYS ARE ALL COMING FROM CHRISTIAN BACKGROUNDS.
• 02:47 YOU'RE ALL CHRISTIANS?
• 02:49 SO AM I ACTUALLY.
• 02:50 I'M JEWISH BUT I ALSO BELIEVE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT...MESSIANIC.
• 02:54 SO MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY A MINISTRY.
• 03:01 THIS TABERNACLE IS ACTUALLY SUPPORTED BY THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST.
• 03:07 IT'S A PRIVATE BUSINESS WHICH WE USE THIS TO CHALLENGE BELIEVERS TO GO BACK TO THE NEW TESTAMENT
• 03:14 BECAUSE EVERY LITTLE DETAIL IN THE TABERNACLE AND IN THE BIBLE
• 03:18 COMPARES JESUS TO THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THIS IS A CHANCE FOR US,
• 03:23 ESPECIALLY FOR ME HERE AS A JEWISH PERSON,
• 03:25 TO TALK ABOUT JESUS TO JEWISH PEOPLE THROUGH THE TABERNACLE.
• 03:30 SO I'M EXCITED THAT YOU GUYS ARE HERE.
• 03:35 THE TABERNACLE...
• 03:37 WHAT IS THE TABERNACLE...
• 03:39 WHAT IS IT...
• 03:40 WHAT WAS IT.
• 03:41 A PLACE OF MEETING...
• 03:43 EXACTLY...
• 03:44 PEOPLE SAY IT WAS GOD'S DWELLING PLACE.
• 03:46 WE CAN EVEN SAY THE TABERNACLE WAS THE TEMPLE THAT THEY HAD IN THE DESERT,
• 03:51 THAT THEY WALKED AROUND WITH OUT THERE IN THE DESERT.
• 03:53 NOW WE SEE ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS OF HOW TO BUILD A TABERNACLE GOD GAVE MOSES ON MOUNT SINAI
• 03:58 BUT THE ALL THE MATERIALS TO BUILD IT,
• 03:59 ALL THE TREASURES THAT ARE USED FOR IT,
• 04:01 ALL THE GOLD AND SILVER AND COPPER THEY TOOK WITH THEM FROM EGYPT AS SOON AS THEY CAME OUT.
• 04:05 AND WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF EGYPT GOD SAID I WANT TO DWELL IN MY PEOPLE.
• 04:10 THOSE WORDS "TO DWELL" WHEN HE SAID IN HEBREW IS CALLED (SPEAKING HEBREW)
• 04:15 WHICH MEANS TO DWELL INSIDE OF YOU.
• 04:18 NOW WE ALL AS BELIEVERS WE KNOW WHAT IT MEAN
• 04:19 BUT BACK THEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT INDIVIDUALLY
• 04:22 SO WHAT IT WAS IS THE TABERNACLE WAS AT THE CENTER WHERE ALL THE TWELVE TRIBES CAMPED AROUND.
• 04:26 THE THREE TRIBES ON EACH SIDE OF THE TABERNACLE
• 04:29 BUT THE FIRST TRIBE HERE IN THE ENTRANCE, WHAT TRIBE WAS HERE?
• 04:32 JUDAH, EXACTLY, THE TRIBE OF JUDAH...
• 04:35 WAS TO KNOW THAT JESUS CAME FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH SO HE'S CLOSEST TO THE ENTRANCE.
• 04:39 DON'T FORGET INSIDE ONLY PRIESTS AND LEVITES WERE ALLOWED TO BE IN THERE.
• 04:43 IF SOMEONE ELSE WOULD WANT TO WALK INSIDE
• 04:45 WILL DIE BEFORE HE WOULD EVEN TOUCH EVEN TOUCH THE VEIL.
• 04:48 YOU GUYS WANT TO WALK INSIDE?
• 04:50 YOU SURE?OKAY...
• 04:52 HERE...SO LET'S WALK.
• 05:00 (Katharine Weiss speaking) HOW AWESOME IT WAS TO WALK THROUGH THE CURTAINS
• 05:03 AND BEHOLD THE LIFE SIZE ALTAR, LAVER, AND PORTABLE SANCTUARY.
• 05:08 IT WAS LIKE STEPPING BACK IN TIME SOME 3300 YEARS.
• 05:14 SO TO THIS AREA, THE COURTYARD, LIKE WE SAID
• 05:16 ONLY THE PRIESTS AND LEVITES WERE ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE... NO ONE ELSE.
• 05:19 THE ALTAR WAS MADE FROM ACACIA WOOD WITH COPPER AROUND.
• 05:24 AND ALL THE HOLY ITEMS THE PRIESTS AND LEVITES HAD TO CARRY BY HAND
• 05:28 SO THAT'S WHY THEY HAD THOSE RODS ON THE SIDE
• 05:30 SO THEY CAN JUST PICK IT UP AND WALK WITH THEM.
• 05:32 NOW HERE THEY HAD TO SACRIFICE ALL THE ANIMALS
• 05:35 BUT BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE IN THIS AREA
• 05:38 SO ALL THE ANIMALS FOR THE SACRIFICES THEY BROUGHT THEM ONLY TO THE ENTRANCE.
• 05:42 THEN ALREADY THE PRIEST TOOK THE ANIMAL, THEY KILLED THE ANIMAL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ALTAR.
• 05:47 THEY TOOK THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICE, THEY PUT IT ON THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR,
• 05:51 THEY POURED THE BLOOD AT THE BASE AND THEN THEY SACRIFICED THE ANIMAL INSIDE
• 05:57 BUT THE FIRE THAT WAS INSIDE IT WAS HOLY FIRE.
• 05:59 WE SEE IT FROM THE ALTAR...GOD BROUGHT THE FIRE FROM HEAVEN.
• 06:03 HE IS THE ONE WHO STARTED THE FIRE AND BECAUSE IT WAS HOLY IT HAD TO BE BURNING ALL THE TIME
• 06:08 EVEN WHEN THEY MOVED FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER
• 06:10 THEY HAD TO TAKE OUT THE FIRE AND KEEP IT BURNING.
• 06:13 NOW SLOWLY ALL THE DEAD COALS AND THE ASHES
• 06:16 BECAUSE IT WAS HOLY NO ONE ELSE WAS ALLOWED TO USE IT
• 06:19 SO THEY TOOK IT OUT AND THEY PUT IT IN A HOLY PLACE FAR AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE.
• 06:23 SO IN EVERY PLACE THEY CAMPED THEY HAD A SPECIAL PLACE WHERE THEY PUT THE HOLY COALS.
• 06:28 THERE ARE FIVE MAIN SACRIFICES THAT A PRIEST HAD TO DO DAILY.
• 06:34 ONE OF THEM IS A SPECIAL SACRIFICE...
• 06:36 IT'S A SIN OFFERING...
• 06:37 IT'S A SIN SACRIFICE.
• 06:39 YOU KNOW WHY IT IS SO DIFFERENT THAN THE REST OF THE SACRIFICES?
• 06:41 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT?
• 06:43 DO YOU KNOW?
• 06:45 WELL I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS...
• 06:47 THAT IS A WHOLE SACRIFICE WHICH THE WHOLE ANIMAL THE WAY IT IS IS BURNED UNTIL ITS ASHES.
• 06:54 THE SIN SACRIFICE IS THE ONLY SACRIFICE WHERE THE PRIESTS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT FROM ITS MEAT
• 07:00 AND IN HERE ON THE ALTAR THEY WOULD ONLY BURN THE FAT AND THE KIDNEYS OF THE ANIMAL,THAT'S IT.
• 07:06 ALL OF THE REST OF THE ANIMAL,
• 07:07 THE FLESH, THE BONES AND THE SKIN,
• 07:09 THE BURNING OF THE HOLY COALS...
• 07:11 FAR AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE, OKAY,
• 07:12 IT WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BURN WITHIN THE PEOPLE.
• 07:17 YOU GUYS DIDN'T BRING ANY ANIMALS.
• 07:19 YOU'RE IN THE TABERNACLE WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING ANY MORE ANIMALS? WHY NOT?
• 07:25 IT'S FINISHED.
• 07:26 JESUS WAS OUR PERFECT SACRIFICE.
• 07:29 HE WAS THE LAST SACRIFICE.
• 07:31 BECAUSE OF JESUS WE DON'T HAVE TO BRING ANY MORE ANIMALS OR BRING ANY MORE SACRIFICE.
• 07:36 THIS WHOLE TABERNACLE WAS LIKE GOD'S PLAN FOR SALVATION THROUGH JESUS.
• 07:42 NOW, WHEN JESUS, WHEN HE WAS OUR SIN OFFERING,
• 07:45 WHEN HE WAS OUR SIN SACRIFICE,
• 07:46 WHEN HE IS OUR SIN
• 07:48 WE CAN SEE THAT ALSO THEN HE DIDN'T DIE WITHIN THE PEOPLE
• 07:51 BUT ACTUALLY DIED OUTSIDE OF JERUSALEM.
• 07:54 WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT IT
• 07:55 BUT WE'RE A LITTLE SHORT ON TIME.
• 07:57 SO GUYS CAN COME UP TO THE ALTAR AND THEN WE'LL TALK SOME MORE.

• 09:33 IT'S BEEN A REAL PRIVILEGE FOR US TO DO THIS.
• 09:36 WE WANT TO GO BACK TO THE TABERNACLE.
• 09:37 OUR GUIDE MARCO IS ABOUT TO EXPLAIN THE OUTER PORTIONS OF THE TABERNACLE
• 09:42 BEFORE WE ACTUALLY ENTER IN TO THE HOLY PLACE AND THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
• 09:46 SO LET'S JOIN MARCO AT THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS.
• 09:56 THE BUILDING ITSELF WAS BUILT WITH DIFFERENT PANELS.
• 09:59 EACH ONE OF THE PANELS WAS FROM ACACIA WOOD WITH GOLD.
• 10:02 WE CAN SEE THAT OUTSIDE IN THE COURTYARD EVERYTHING IS MADE OUT OF COPPER WITH COPPER BASES
• 10:06 AND HERE THE HOLIER WE GET
• 10:08 THE OBJECTS INSIDE ARE GOING TO BE FROM GOLD OR SILVER BASES.
• 10:11 NOW EACH ONE OF THOSE PANELS HAD ACTUALLY TWO SILVER BASES...
• 10:14 IN EACH ONE OF THOSE BASES WAS ABOUT 75 POUNDS OF PURE SILVER.
• 10:19 SO THAT'S 75...75...IT'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT THEY BROUGHT IN ORDER TO BUILD THE TABERNACLE.
• 10:24 AND THEY HAD THOSE GOLDEN RINGS WITH THOSE RODS
• 10:27 WHICH IS TO USE SO THEY CAN JUST TAKE THE RODS OUT AND TAKE THE WHOLE BUILDING APART
• 10:31 AND THEN MOVE REAL QUICK FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.
• 10:34 MAYBE IT WASN'T THAT QUICK
• 10:35 BUT THIS IS THE WAY THEY ACTUALLY TOOK IT APART AND MOVED.
• 10:38 AND THEN THERE'S FOUR LAYERS OF THE TENT...FOUR LAYERS.
• 10:44 THE FIRST ONE IS LINEN IS WHAT YOU SEE HERE WITH FOUR COLORS.
• 10:47 THERE IS THE WHITE, THE RED, THE BLUE AND THE PURPLE.
• 10:51 NOW WE KNOW THE WHITE IN BIBLE IS SOMETHING CLEAN, SOMETHING PURE.
• 10:54 THE RED IS BLOOD.
• 10:56 BLUE IS HEAVEN.
• 10:57 BUT WHAT IS PURPLE IN THE BIBLE?
• 11:01 ROYALTY...EXACTLY...RIGHT...
• 11:04 WE CAN SEE THAT EVEN WITH JESUS WHEN HE CAME OUT OF POWER
• 11:06 HE HAD THE CROWNS OF THORNS AND A PURPLE ROBE AND THEY SAID, HERE HE IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
• 11:10 SO KNOW THAT THE KING OF JEWS, YESHUA, JESUS CAME FROM HEAVEN
• 11:14 SO THROUGH HIS BLOOD WE COULD BE PURIFIED.
• 11:16 AND OF COURSE EACH KING IT IS IT'S BODY GUARD.
• 11:19 SO THERE YOU HAVE THEM ALL THE CHERUBIM.
• 11:22 NOW THE SECOND LAYER OF THE TENT WAS GOAT'S FUR.
• 11:24 IT'S REALLY HARD MATERIAL;
• 11:26 THEY STILL USE IT TODAY HERE IN THE DESERT, THE BEDOUINS.
• 11:28 THE THIRD WAS RAM'S SKIN AND THE FOURTH LAYER OUTSIDE WAS THE SKIN OF A TACHASH.
• 11:32 WHAT IS A TACHASH?
• 11:34 A BADGER?
• 11:36 OKAY...THAT'S WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE IN ENGLISH...BADGER.
• 11:39 DID YOU CHECK IT IN RUSSIAN? (TOURIST) NO
• 11:42 IN RUSSIAN IT SAYS DOLPHIN.
• 11:44 IN EACH LANGUAGE IS WRITTEN A DIFFERENT KIND OF ANIMAL.
• 11:48 (Myles Weiss speaking) SO NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE THE SOURCE OF SKIN
• 11:52 THAT WAS USED ON THE OUTER COVERING OF THIS HUGE TENT...
• 11:54 REMAINS A MYSTERY.
• 11:56 OUR NEXT STOP IS INSIDE THE TABERNACLE.
• 11:59 THIS IS THE HOLY PLACE AND HERE WE FIND SOME WONDERFUL TYPES AND SHADOWS OF THE COMING MESSIAH.
• 12:08 SO THIS AREA IS CALLED HAKODESH WHICH MEANS "THE HOLY".
• 12:11 ONLY THE PRIESTS WERE ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE.
• 12:13 WE SEE THERE IS DIFFERENT RINGS OF HOLINESS RIGHT THROUGHOUT THE COURTYARD
• 12:16 WHICH ONLY THE PERSON LEVITES WERE ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE.
• 12:18 IN HERE AFTER THE SECOND CURTAIN ONLY THE PRIESTS
• 12:20 AND THEN AFTER THE THIRD CURTAIN IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES ONLY THE HIGH PRIEST ONLY ONCE A YEAR.
• 12:26 THE MENORAH ON THE SOUTH SIDE WAS FROM PURE GOLD.
• 12:29 IT WAS ONE PIECE OF GOLD AND IT HAD 7 LAMPS.
• 12:33 HERE EVERY DAY THEY HAD TO PUT OLIVE OIL IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING
• 12:36 BECAUSE THIS WAS ALWAYS BURNING ALL THE TIME.
• 12:39 BUT THE MENORAH WAS ACTUALLY THE ONLY LIGHT THEY HAD IN THIS AREA.
• 12:43 THE CURTAIN HERE WAS CLOSED.
• 12:45 THIS WAS THE ONLY LIGHT THEY HAD.
• 12:47 JUST IN FRONT OF IT ON THE NORTH SIDE WE HAVE THE SHOWBREAD TABLE.
• 12:51 WITH THE 12 SHOWBREADS WHICH ONE REPRESENTS EACH TRIBE FOR ITS HOLY BREAD.
• 12:56 ONLY THE PRIESTS WERE ALLOWED TO EAT FROM THIS BREAD.
• 12:59 BUT SOMEONE ELSE DID IT FROM THIS.WHO WAS THAT?
• 13:02 DAVID, EXACTLY, KING DAVID ATE FROM THIS.
• 13:04 BUT HE WASN'T ALONE WAS HE?
• 13:07 NO...OH HE HAD 400 MEN WITH HIM.
• 13:10 NOW THOSE MEN THAT WERE WITH HIM, THEY'RE NOT SO GOOD PEOPLE.
• 13:13 THEY ARE THIEVES, ROBBERS, MURDERERS, REBELS...BAD PEOPLE.
• 13:18 NOW WE ALL KNOW THAT GOD HE'S A HOLY GOD.
• 13:20 AND GOD IS THE RIGHTEOUS BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.
• 13:23 AND SO WE HAD AARON THE HIGH PRIEST.
• 13:25 AARON HAD FOUR SONS.
• 13:27 TWO OF HIS SONS NADAB AND ABIHU OFFERED STRANGE FIRE.
• 13:30 WHAT HAPPENED?
• 13:31 GOD KILLED THEM STRAIGHT AWAY.
• 13:33 WHY, BECAUSE THEY TOOK SOMETHING HOLY AND DID SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THEM.
• 13:37 THEY DID WHATEVER THEY WANTED TO WITH THEM.
• 13:39 THE WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT THE BREAD WAS HOLY.
• 13:42 I THOUGHT ONLY THE PRIESTS WERE ALLOWED TO EAT FROM THIS BREAD.
• 13:45 DAVID WASN'T A PRIEST.
• 13:47 HE WASN'T EVEN FROM THE TRIBE OF LEVI.
• 13:49 HE WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH
• 13:51 AND THE PEOPLE WHO WERE WITH HIM WE TALKED ABOUT THEM.
• 13:53 THEY ARE NOT TOO GOOD.
• 13:55 SO WE SEE THAT GOD...
• 13:58 SOMETIMES WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND GOD BUT WE NEED TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE BECAUSE GOD HAD A PLAN.
• 14:04 GOD KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING THAT HE'LL USE DAVID
• 14:06 BECAUSE JESUS CAME FROM THE SEED OF DAVID.
• 14:09 IF DAVID WOULD HAVE DIED YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY
• 14:12 BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T CARE ABOUT THE TABERNACLE.
• 14:14 NOW, DAVID WANTED TWO THINGS FROM THE PRIEST.
• 14:16 DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THOSE TWO THINGS WERE?DO YOU REMEMBER?
• 14:20 WAS IT HE WANTED A SWORD, A WEAPON,
• 14:22 SO HE GAVE HIM THE SWORD OF GOLIATH AND BREAD.
• 14:25 BUT DAVID WAS REAL SPECIFIC ABOUT THE NUMBER OF BREADS HE WANTED.
• 14:30 DAVID ONLY WANTED 5 LOAVES OF BREAD.
• 14:33 INTERESTING, EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS KING DAVID?
• 14:36 OF COURSE, I HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMING THROUGH HERE.
• 14:39 THERE WASN'T A SINGLE PERSON WHO DOESN'T KNOW KING DAVID.
• 14:42 SO IF THIS BIG, BIG KING DAVID TOOK THOSE 5 LOAVES OF BREAD
• 14:46 AND IT WAS ENOUGH FOR HIM AND FOR 400 PEOPLE
• 14:49 WHAT DOES IT MAKE LATER HIS DESCENDANT JESUS WHEN HE TOOK FIVE LOAVES BREAD,
• 14:53 ADDED TWO MORE, BUT FED 5,000 PEOPLE.
• 14:56 HOW MUCH BIGGER IS JESUS COMPARED TO THIS BIG KING DAVID...
• 15:01 BIGGER THAN ANY OTHER KING...
• 15:04 BIGGER THAN ANY OTHER MAN.
• 15:05 HE IS ACTUALLY THE KINGS OF KINGS RIGHT?
• 15:08 SO THIS IS ONLY A TINY PICTURE TO SHOW YOU HOW THAT JESUS IS COMPARED TO ANYBODY ELSE.
• 15:12 AND ALSO LATER IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS
• 15:14 WE SEE THAT PAUL COMPARES JESUS TO THE HIGH THE PRIEST
• 15:18 BUT NOT LIKE ANY HIGH PRIEST
• 15:19 BUT A MUCH BIGGER ONE.
• 15:21 SO HE GOT THE CLOTHES OF THE NORMAL PRIEST, THE REGULAR PRIEST WHO HAD HIS HEAD COVERED.
• 15:27 THIS ONE PIECE OF CLOTH FROM LINEN, A BELT WITH THE FOUR COLORS
• 15:30 AND HE HAD PANTS FROM LINEN UNDER IT.
• 15:33 AND THEN THERE WAS THE HIGH PRIEST.
• 15:36 NOW THE HIGH PRIEST THERE WAS ONLY ONE HIGH PRIEST AT A TIME
• 15:40 AND HE WOULD REMAIN BEING A HIGH PRIEST UNTIL THE DAY HE DIED.
• 15:43 IT MEANS THERE IS NO VACATION; THERE IS NO PENSION, NOTHING.
• 15:47 AND ONLY AFTER HE DIES ONLY THEN HIS SON WILL BECOME HIGH PRIEST AFTER HIM.
• 15:52 HE HAD THESE WHITE CLOTHES AND HE HAD THIS BLUE GARMENT
• 15:57 BUT ON THE BOTTOM OF IT HE HAD A BELT AND POMEGRANATE...
• 16:00 A BELT AND A POMEGRANATE OKAY.
• 16:02 SO EVERY TIME HE WALKED EVERYBODY COULD HAVE HEARD HIM.
• 16:06 AND HE HAD TWO PRECIOUS STONES ON HIS SHOULDERS WITH THE NAMES OF THE 12 TRIBES
• 16:10 AND THE EPHOD, THE BRASS PLATE
• 16:13 WITH THE 12 STONES ONE FOR EACH TRIBE WITH THE NAME OF THE TRIBE.
• 16:16 NOW, ONE DAY A YEAR, YOM KIPPUR, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT,
• 16:19 THE HIGH PRIEST HAD TO WALK INSIDE INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES
• 16:23 TO REPRESENT THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF GOD
• 16:26 BUT HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO WALK WITH GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES
• 16:30 BUT HE HAD TO TAKE IT ALL DOWN AND WEAR ONLY THE WHITE,
• 16:33 ONLY THIS ONE PIECE OF CLOTH FROM LINEN.
• 16:36 IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE WHEN JESUS
• 16:38 WHEN HE WAS OUR HIGH PRIEST
• 16:40 AND CLEARLY THIS SHOWS THAT HE HAS THE 12 TRIBES CLOSE TO HIS HEART
• 16:46 BUT THIS ACTUALLY SHOWS THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT HE CARRIED ON HIS SHOULDERS.
• 16:50 IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE JESUS TOOK OUR RESPONSIBILITY ON EACH SHOULDER.
• 16:54 LITERALLY JESUS CARRIED HIS OWN CROSS FOR US
• 16:58 AND FROM EPHESIANS CHAPTER 3 IT SAYS, AND I KNOW EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU BY NAME.
• 17:03 SO ON THIS ONE DAY WHEN JESUS WALKED INTO THE CROSS TO BRING OUR SINS IN FRONT OF GOD
• 17:08 HE DIDN'T COME AS A KING WITH HIS GOLDEN CROWN AND PRECIOUS STONES
• 17:12 BUT IT SAYS HE TOOK DOWN ALL OF HIS GLORY AND WENT TO THE CROSS
• 17:15 JUST WITH THIS ONE PIECE OF CLOTHES WITH NO STITCH.
• 17:19 HERE WE HAVE ANOTHER ALTAR.
• 17:21 THIS IS THE INCENSE ALTAR.
• 17:23 THERE IS THE GOLDEN ALTAR.
• 17:25 HERE THEY HAVE TO BURN INCENSE EVERY DAY IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING
• 17:28 BUT IN YOM KIPPUR, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
• 17:31 THE HIGH PRIEST HAD TO TAKE SOME OF THE HOLY FIRE WITH A HANDFUL OF INCENSE
• 17:34 AND ONLY THEN HE WAS ABLE TO WALK THROUGH THE VEIL INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
• 17:51 YOU KNOW THE PATTERN IS SO EXACTING,
• 17:55 THE PATTERN IN THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS AND THEN LATER IN THE TEMPLE.
• 17:58 IT'S SO PERFECT BECAUSE IT POINTS TO THE PERFECTION OF YESHUA
• 18:02 BUT IT WAS THE GRACE OF GOD THAT ALLOWED YESHUA TO FULFILL THIS HIMSELF
• 18:07 SO THAT WE SEE THIS INCREDIBLE CONNECTION BETWEEN EVERY JOT AND TITTLE OF THE FURNITURE,
• 18:13 EVERYTHING, EVERY COLOR, EVERY FABRIC,
• 18:15 EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THERE MEANS SOMETHING ABOUT MESSIAH.
• 18:18 ABSOLUTELY AND IT ALSO REPRESENTS GOD HIMSELF
• 18:21 WANTING TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH US.
• 18:23 WHEN HE BROUGHT THEM OUT OF EGYPT THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED WAS RELATIONSHIP
• 18:28 AND HE MADE ACCESS THROUGH HIS SHED BLOOD
• 18:31 BUT THE BLOOD WAS ALSO SHED ON THE ALTAR IN THE WILDERNESS BEFORE.
• 18:36 SO LIKE YOU SAID BEFORE MYLES THERE'S A HISTORICAL
• 18:40 AND THEN THERE'S A PERSONAL
• 18:42 AND THEN THERE'S A PROPHETIC MEANING.
• 18:44 AND IT'S SO AMAZING TO SEE IT, THIS EXAMPLE IN LIFE SIZE FORM IN THE WILDERNESS.
• 18:49 IT'S TRUE AND YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE TO BE STANDING BETWEEN THE PLACE OF...
• 18:54 THE HOLY PLACE AND THE HOLY OF HOLIES
• 18:57 AND TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE CONTINUALLY GO DEEPER WITH GOD...
• 19:01 BECAUSE OF HIS MAKING A WAY FOR US
• 19:03 BECAUSE THE ACCESS HAS BEEN MADE FOR US WE CAN CONTINUE TO GO CLOSER.
• 19:07 AND SO MARCO IS GOING TO HELP US
• 19:09 TO SEE WHAT THE SHIFT IS FROM THE HOLY PLACE INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES
• 19:14 SO LET'S GO BACK TO THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS AND HEAR FROM OUR GUIDE MARCO.
• 19:28 KODESH HAKODASHIM, THE HOLY OF HOLIES...
• 19:31 IN HERE I SAID ONLY THE HIGH PRIEST WAS ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE.
• 19:35 IT WAS THE ARK OF THE COVENANT WHICH WAS THE HOLIEST ITEM
• 19:37 TO HAVE OUT HERE IN THE TABERNACLE.
• 19:40 IT WAS BUILT FOR A MERCY SEAT WHICH IS THE BOTTOM PART BUILT IN ACACIA WOOD WITH GOLD
• 19:44 AND THEN THE CHERUBIM MADE FROM PURE GOLD...ONE PIECE OF GOLD.
• 19:47 WHEN THE HIGH PRIEST WALKED INSIDE HE ALSO WALKED IN WITH BLOOD
• 19:50 AND HE TOOK THE BLOOD WITH HIS FINGERS AND HE SPRINKLED SEVEN TIMES ON THE ARK.
• 19:56 NOW THIS HE HAD TO DO A FEW TIMES.
• 19:58 HE HAD TO DO IT 3 TIMES.
• 19:59 HE WALKED INSIDE...
• 20:01 WALKED BACK OUTSIDE...
• 20:02 WALKED INSIDE BACK OUTSIDE.
• 20:03 PAUL EXPLAINS IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS THAT THE HIGH PRIEST
• 20:06 FIRST OF ALL HAD TO BRING A SACRIFICE FOR HIS OWN SIN
• 20:10 BEFORE HE COULD BRING A SACRIFICE FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE.
• 20:13 SO THE FIRST TIME HE WALKED INSIDE AND SPRINKLED THE BLOOD
• 20:16 WAS FOR HIS OWN SIN AND FOR HIS FAMILY.
• 20:18 THE SECOND TIME WAS FOR THE SINS OF THE PRIESTS.
• 20:21 AND ONLY ON THE THIRD TIME WITH THE BLOOD OF A GOAT
• 20:24 IT WAS FOR THE SINS OF ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM.
• 20:27 AND THEN PAUL SAYS THAT JESUS IS OUR HIGH PRIEST
• 20:32 WHEN HE WALKED TO BRING OUR SIN IN FRONT OF GOD HE ONLY WALKED IN ONCE.WHY?
• 20:37 HE WAS PERFECT.
• 20:39 BUT NOT JUST THAT OUR JESUS WALKED IN ONCE,
• 20:41 HE ONLY DIED ONCE,
• 20:43 BUT HE GAVE HIS OWN BLOOD FOR OUR SINS.
• 20:45 AFTER THE HIGH PRIEST WALKED OUTSIDE EVERY TIME HE WALKED OUTSIDE HE WALKED BACKWARDS.
• 20:51 HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN IN JERUSALEM?
• 20:53 HAVE YOU SEEN OUR PEOPLE WALKING OUT FROM THE WAILING WALL?
• 20:55 AGAIN, THIS COMES FROM HERE
• 20:57 BECAUSE HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BRING HIS BACK TO GOD.
• 21:01 BUT THERE'S ONE MORE GOAT.
• 21:04 IT'S CALLED "THE SCAPEGOAT".
• 21:05 IT'S OUTSIDE IN THE ENTRANCE.
• 21:07 IN HEBREW IT'S CALLED "SAIR LA'AZAZEL".
• 21:09 HE WOULD LAYS HANDS PUT ON THE HEAD OF THE GOAT
• 21:12 AND CONFESS ALL THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE TO THIS GOAT.
• 21:14 THE SON WAS SPECIFIC WAS CHOSEN TO TAKE THIS GOAT, LEAD IT,
• 21:18 WALK IT FAR, FAR AWAY TO THE DESERT
• 21:20 AND THERE IT WOULD DIE WITH THE SINS.
• 21:23 BUT THAT IS INTERESTING.
• 21:25 WHAT DIRECTION DO THEY SEND THE GOAT?
• 21:27 TO THE EAST...
• 21:29 JUST LIKE ADAM AND EVE WERE CAST OUT TO THE EAST, RIGHT.
• 21:34 AND THAT'S INTERESTING
• 21:36 BECAUSE JESUS AS HE TOOK OUR SINS ONCE AND FOR ALL.
• 21:41 IT SAYS THAT THE SECOND TIME HE'LL COME BACK FROM THE EAST BACK INTO JERUSALEM.
• 21:47 AFTER HE CONQUERED DEATH HE CONQUERED SIN AND HE WILL COME BACK AGAIN.
• 21:50 WHAT WAS INSIDE THE ARK?
• 21:53 WHAT IS INSIDE?
• 21:54 WE HAVE 3 THINGS.
• 21:56 YEAH...THE ROD OF AARON, TABLETS AND THE MANNA.
• 21:59 NOW WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE HOLIEST ITEM.
• 22:03 NO ONE ACTUALLY SAW THIS
• 22:05 ACCEPT THE HIGH PRIEST AT THAT TIME
• 22:06 AND THE TWO PEOPLE THAT BUILT IT.
• 22:08 BUT THE TWO BUILT IT; THEIR NAME WAS "BEZALEL" AND "OHOLIAB".
• 22:13 BEZALEL MEANS "BTSAL'EL IS IN THE SHADOW"
• 22:15 AND "EL" IS GOD... "IN THE SHADOW OF GOD".
• 22:18 THE SECOND MAN IS OHOLIAB...
• 22:20 "OHOL" IS TENT AND "AB" IS FATHER...
• 22:24 "THE TENT OF THE FATHER"... THE TABERNACLE!
• 22:27 SO IT MEANS WHATEVER'S INSIDE IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT FOR GOD.
• 22:36 SO WE'VE GOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INSIDE
• 22:38 WHICH THEY ACTUALLY REPRESENT THE LAW.
• 22:40 NOW GOD GAVE US THE LAW...
• 22:42 HERE SO YOU GUYS CAN SEE...
• 22:44 GOD GAVE US THE LAW.WHY?
• 22:45 BECAUSE WE SIN...
• 22:47 SO WE CAN KNOW WHERE WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO AND WHAT WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO.
• 22:50 CAN SOMEONE HERE KEEP THE LAW?
• 22:52 ARE YOU SURE?NO ONE CAN?
• 22:53 OKAY... SO WE'RE IN TROUBLE RIGHT?
• 22:57 THAT'S WHY GOD GAVE US JESUS.
• 22:59 WHEN JESUS CAME TO THIS WORLD HE SAID I DIDN'T COME TO CANCEL THE LAW, I CAME TO FULFILL IT
• 23:04 SO THROUGH ME YOU CAN BE WITH THE FATHER.
• 23:07 THE MANNA...WHAT IS THE MANNA?
• 23:09 THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN...EXACTLY.
• 23:12 THE WORD "MANNA" IT MEANS "I DON'T KNOW"..."WHAT IS THIS?"
• 23:16 BUT ACTUALLY THE MANNA WAS THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN LIKE YOU SAID.
• 23:19 NOW JESUS CAME FROM HEAVEN AND HE SAID I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE.
• 23:23 IF YOU EAT FROM THIS BREAD, YOU DRINK FROM THIS WINE; THIS IS MY BODY, MY BLOOD.
• 23:27 ONE LAST THING...
• 23:29 A JEWISH CULTURE WHEN SOMEONE DIES IN YOUR FAMILY YOU RIP YOUR CLOTHES.
• 23:33 YOU COULD SEE THAT BACK THEN AND EVEN TODAY THEY DO IT SOMETIMES.
• 23:38 BUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN JESUS DIED?
• 23:41 THE TEMPLE... THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE RIPPED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
• 23:46 BUT THIS IS THE ORIGINAL SIZE HERE AT THE TABERNACLE.
• 23:49 THE VEIL THAT RIPPED WAS SAID WAS THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE.
• 23:52 THE TEMPLE WAS MUCH BIGGER SO THE VEIL WAS MUCH, MUCH BIGGER.
• 23:56 IT WASN'T JUST A PICTURE THAT GOD THE FATHER WAS SAD BECAUSE OF THE SON THAT DIED;
• 24:01 IT SHOWS THAT GOD WOULD OPEN UP THE WAY.
• 24:03 HE ACTUALLY MOVED THE CHERUBIM AWAY NOT JUST FROM THE ENTRANCE TO THE HOLY OF HOLIES
• 24:08 BUT HE MOVED THE CHERUBIM AWAY FROM THE ENTRANCE TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
• 24:13 SEE ONLY AFTER JESUS DIED WE HAVE FORGIVENESS OF SIN...
• 24:18 ONLY AFTER JESUS DIED.
• 24:20 IT MEANS SIN DOESN'T SEPARATE US ANYMORE FROM GOD SO WE CAN BE REUNITED WITH GOD.
• 24:24 AND THEN JUST LIKE HE PROMISED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS CHAPTER 2 WE CAN GO BACK INSIDE
• 24:29 AND ITS FROM THE TRUE BLOOD AND ITS FOREVER WITH GOD.AMEN?
• 24:37 (MUSIC)
• 24:52 THERE IS SUCH A CONFLUENCE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH
• 24:57 WHEN YOU'RE AT THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS
• 24:59 BECAUSE OF THE HOLY PLACE AND THE HOLY OF HOLIES WE'RE SEEING INTO HEAVEN.
• 25:05 YOU KNOW I'VE HAD PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
• 25:07 OF BEING ABLE TO SEE SOMETHING OF THE HEART OF GOD IN HIS MERCY
• 25:11 AND THE WAY THAT THIS TABERNACLE POINTS TO
• 25:14 THE WONDERFUL MERCY OF GOD AND JESUS SHEDDING HIS BLOOD FOR US.
• 25:18 I KNOW THAT I'VE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE AS WELL
• 25:21 WHERE I'VE SEEN THE MERCY OF GOD IN A VERY LITERAL WAY.
• 25:25 AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY AS YOU'RE WATCHING THIS PROGRAM
• 25:28 THAT AS YOU'RE LEARNING THE CONCEPTS
• 25:30 AND SEEING THE PICTURES OF THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS
• 25:33 ALSO ASK THE LORD TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU IN A FRESH AND NEW WAY.
• 25:39 THERE ARE SO MANY PICTURES HERE OF MESSIAH...
• 25:41 SO MANY PERSONAL THINGS THAT GOD WANTS TO REVEAL TO YOU.
• 25:45 THEY MAY BE VERY PRIVATE, VERY PERSONAL FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES AND DON'T SHUT THOSE OUT.
• 25:50 OPEN YOUR HEART TO ALLOW THIS TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS TO SPEAK TO YOU PERSONALLY
• 25:55 ABOUT YOUR LIFE, YOUR ETERNITY AND THAT OF THOSE AROUND YOU.
• 25:58 GOD REACHES TO THE DEPTHS RIGHT?
• 26:01 DOESN'T HE GO...
• 26:03 HE GOES WHERE NO MAN GOES.
• 26:05 HE GOES WHEN WE'RE IN THE DEEPEST AND DARKEST PLACE HE CAN REACH DOWN FOR US.
• 26:09 AND HE CAN REACH OUT HIS HAND AND HE CAN REACH OUT HIS LOVE.
