2023: Feb 12: Shekinah Glory - Behind the Veil

And are generally. Father, we come to you gather together this morning, that we might enter into worship the worship of Truth. We're in, we study your words, we find ourselves guided change transformed as we investigate as we examine, as we find ourselves yielded in the spirit to your word, Your Truth, your divine revelation, having been made available to us as we investigated today, we pray for encouragement, for exportation Lord, for you to do that work in our lives, which you see fit, we praise you. And thank you for this opportunity and we enter into this time of study in the Blessed name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

well, as you know, we've been

immersed, in a little bit of us study in the

About the Shekinah Glory of God and have found that there is a tremendous wealth and quite a bit that really Nazi and has been tied together by many people out there with a few exceptions. And so we've been going through it and investigating it it is not something that has risen to a high level in the categorical. Doctrine teaching users are a few things. A few reference is, it may be something that has taught bit by bit as you go along, but never compiled into an exhaustive Doctrine, which we will probably do at the end of this, have a compiled doctrine that will put out and give you a bunch of bullet points so forth. Meanwhile, we've been going through an expositional, study investigating, the Shekinah Glory Why should we care? What is this Shekinah Glory? And what is it all about? Well, the Shekinah Glory represents that place. Where God Hitman meet where the Creator and the creation come together.

So, it has been an interesting Journey. We've seen everything from the Shekinah, Glory appearing in the wilderness over the Tabernacle. It's expressed in various ways, we have noticed that there are purposes for the Shekinah, Glory about, revealing the nature and the work of God and we have tabulated a number of those. We have noticed that whenever there is something significant going on, in the narrative in the Old Testament, the Shekinah Glory of God has appeared in his putting the stamp of authenticity of authority that God indeed is interacting with man. The god and deed is doing something significant and every single time we see the Shekinah Glory we see the

revelation of God. But it is at hand. Then what we mean by that is a special Revelation we're in, God is giving us his word, his word is being given, so we might have what we call scripture. And also the authority, the stamp of God is being placed on that scripture everywhere. We look everywhere we go where the Shekinah Glory Appears. We've done some investigations of appearing to the Shekinah. Glory not nearly all of them, but a few of them tied together, some examination. Some Exposition, we're going to continue with that today, but today we're going to be looking at what is behind the veil behind the veil. At least we're going to start the investigation. We may not be fully into it until next week. I don't know depends on how things go and how much you guys tickle me to keep on talking things that God inspires little rabbit trails that pop into the preachers head. When he starts preaching, it doesn't even realize what he's doing. Yes, that all happens. And we are we just assumed but via the filling of the holy spirit that God the holy spirit is in charge, right? Right. So I'm couple things looking at that, which is behind the veil now behind the veil. The speaking of the holy of holies that place in the temple or the Tabernacle, where there is a division made between the regular sacrificial system that is put in place and the Very living presence of God himself. There is a separation. There is a veil. There is something that is, separated know, when we look at creation, it is running along a timeline. God has created and Genesis 1:1. All of it is in the beginning he created. And so we see that time, begins time, begins matter. Begins God places all of creation, enter woven together in this Matrix of time matter. As be very Jewish, Albert Einstein, so elegantly put together in his physics thesis, and in his mathematical feces, He tied these all together. So we see that equals mc squared is taking matter and time and putting it all into an equation. He is energy. And MC squared m is matter. C squared is the speed of light, which is time. So we have energy matter and time all tied together in a single equation, reviewing what God revealed in Genesis 1:1, it's all tied together. And at that point going forward, then we have the constraints of time.

So in terms of our understanding of the Messiah and the provision which must be made that the sins of all mankind, must be dealt with, it will be dealt with in a point in time. In until that point in time comes, there is a veil between God and between men. No, it is a temporal bail, which will be taken down. As we know what the death of Christ at which point at his sacrifice. The bill is ripped From top to bottom in a separated that which represents the separation between God and man is taken care of by the Lord Jesus Christ. So he runs that it is separated so that happens both in time and in terms of all individual access to God himself, you see we can't come close to God until about separation has been torn asunder torn apart by the very real work in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

so, the holy of holies was never entered into

Except once per year at the Feast of Yom Kippur the day of atonement, and then only by the high priest. The most high priest would work his way down and through the temple. You see. It's interesting. There's only one way to get to the holy of holies.

What that sink you in both in the Tabernacle. And in the temple, there is only one way to gain access to the very presence of God. Only one way.

So, the high priest. Who's representative of whom? Who does the high priest represent?

Lord Jesus Christ. Yeah, absolutely. So we have drawn Connections to that place. That is representative of the person and work but it's accomplished on behalf of mankind by Jehovah, Yahweh has that meshiaak of Israel. No note a couple of

couple of passages that we're going to be reviewing today. Psalm 99 verse 1 You know, Isaiah 37 verse 16. So we're going to look at these separately, will look at these surrounding passages, but before we get there, we need to be in the form and take some ideas with us. So we have a little bit of objectivity when we get to those text. So we're going to bring in some information that we will find in the New Testament.

As we look over these passages, I am wanting you to try to keep in mind, but there is a reality that is in heaven in the realm of God. Been there is that, which is on Earth, but symbolizes or makes reference to that, which is in heaven. And then there is that, which is real on Earth. So we have Heaven that which represents heaven and that, which is on Earth. Three different levels or places for us to understand some significant things that we need to work through. In terms of Old Testament, picturing and transitioning. What is real and actual in the spiritual Realm. Interesting. I've been interacting with the number of individuals from Schaefer and from the free Grace camp that is out there. We have a burgeoning growing group of people who are dedicated to the work that we understand is just doctrinal teaching, but they understand it as the free Grace movement or just understanding Grace. And so there's a lot of people that are discovering it being drawn to it and as they get drawn to it they're investigating and they're having to go back to rework all of their theology.

so I'm finding myself interacting with individuals who have different perspectives on theology, different ways of looking at things now as it turns out there are Those poems in which, as we go through Christian and Christianity. As we go through the doctrines, we understand, there's a little bit of abstraction. For example, we talked about being in Christ positionally Being in Christ positionally but the one I'm fine. And if some of these people who that is a new concept, two are coming in and they look at it as an abstract reality, an abstraction really until they want to make a distinction between an abstraction and then the real thing it. So they try to draw a distinction and say justification were and we are made righteous by God. Is is the is the standing in Christ? Whereas the sanctification wherein we work out. We are living that spiritual life. They see as the real expression. Not going back to them. I'm saying, that's not exactly true. It's a real thing. It is actual what happens? When we are born again we are made a live to God. That is justification. It's not just positional. It's true. It's real. We are actually born again. We are actually born from above. We are made regenerative a work of God that he does. That is not something that Waits until we get into the sanctification room. It is in the justification room. So people are getting these things confused, you may say doesn't sound, like it makes any difference to me. Well, when you actually start to study and you start trying to Cobble together and put together these Concepts and you don't have the background that you and I have to have everything resting in place. What we find is people get pretty mixed up when they come to pretty weird conclusions. Pretty quickly. So, it is important what we understand. now, we are example that we went over in terms of Zion, Zion. It turns out is real, it is actually the word that describes the Heavenly places where God is where his throne room is where the people of God now, or Jesus has led them all to that place and have been. They are in Zion, we studied that we have been told in Hebrews to keep our eyes, on the things in Zion be mindful of it. It's not like Mount Zion. I wear those people stricken fear because of the reality of what they were actually seeing hearing feeling smelling the Thunder, the smoke, everything around them, cause them to have a sense of the reality of God, but we have an understanding of God in Mount Zion and and we are told that we are even more. So Lindo's at syeni to be aware because we have the reality.

And that makes people stumble and trip would fall and try to figure it out. Cogitate ruminate It turns out that which is in heaven, the Heavenly places, the spiritual life that we actually live by faith. Trusting in God's word is more real than that, which we can feel see here smell that which surrounds us. So we're to be aware of these in Mount. Zion is in heaven, but there is a Mount Zion on Earth where the temple is built. That little mountain, call the Zion, which is representative of the actual real Zion in heaven. Now, this one on earth is real as well, but it also is representative of that which is in heaven. So we have three levels, we have the reality of heaven, we have the reality of Earth and we have that, which is represented represented here on Earth which points us to the reality that is in heaven. Do we have a hard time understanding God and the things of God and the reality is there is no adequate understanding of God. Theologians talk about this but we have terms for it and really, we are animal against stick and a logistic. In terms of our understanding of God, we can't understand him directly in any way. Every aspect of his being of his person is eternal in nature. Is that is beyond comprehension, no matter which item we take out of the essence box, it doesn't matter. It is incredibly vast and beyond our comprehension. So how does God help us with that? He gives us an eliges, he gives us models. He gives us ideas that are the give us a symbolic or a side-by-side distinctive about God, that we can learn and bring back to our finite minds and our finite understanding. So that's part of what guy? Does Ross, scripture. Is he is giving us an analogy. Now we want to be careful. Lest we use what is incorrectly called interpretation by analogy, and that is, you get to take every passage of scripture. Make it your own analogy and then you get to write your own Doctrine or theology into it sometimes rules. Sometimes there is a system, you can take the Lutheran used, you can take the Presbyterian views, the Scottish reformers, you can take various different views and understandings of write them back. In the scripture, following the guidelines of the system that you happen to be associated with. Or you can just go hog-wild and make everything up as you go and end up with Colts or very sidelined groups like a Marietta Baker's Seventh-Day Advent. Group. So, we have many ways you can go with it when you analogize scripture and you also can open the doors to say why I have a new revelation by virtue of my using this analogy, and told me that there's new revelation that comes in. So if we just clamped down, understand the scripture is to be understood by the very model of interpretation that we use for everything else in life. We understand it as it was intended by the speaker and we understand it as it is to be understood by those who listen to the speaker. So we're going to take a look at some passages and Hebrews will start in Hebrews chapter 6.

So first, we're going to see what we are told and vs, 19, through 20, and then we'll move from there. Hebrews 6:19.

This hope we have as an anchor of the Soul, both Shore and steadfast and which enters the presence behind the veil where the 4Runner has entered for us even Jesus. How do you become high priest forever? According to the order of Melchizedek in death through Hebrews but I want a hit the high points here and pulling up out of it. So we have a sense of what is going on behind the veil behind this meeting for the bail to be separated, what is going on? So we see that you shua, Jesus hear entered behind the veil.

and therefore, as a result,

We have. Hey, hope. And that hope we are told is the anchor of the Soul. It was the anchor of our thinking. It is the anchor of everything that you think of. As the sole this place of your norms and standards the place, where you have memory reference to scripture, where God has inscribed his word and your soul, Where we have the location. What we understand gnosis and Epi gnosis, where God, the Holy Spirit takes and transforms. His very word makes it applicable in your life and your living, All this happens in the soul.

And how is it described an anchor of the Soul? You see when you were in a ship and you don't want to drift your toss out your anchor. It's the water break. The braking system of a boat, if you will, in our car, we put our foot on the brake return, on our emergency break. If you're in the water, you toss down and anchor. If you need to stabilize yourself you toss down a couple of thinkers. So you can keep pulling in the same direction instead of helicopter in around where the anchor has being blown by the wind. You can toss down a couple of acres and it gives you stability gives you connection to a spot. So you are not a drift but it seems that many teeth today is it? Our hope is a compass. Not an inker you know a compass like you learn to use in Girl Scouts or boy scouts or someone showed you how to use what this thing turns in his youth. Turn around. You can find where north south east and west is. There's some people teach that but what we have is a hope and somehow connected

but you're in the bath seat. You're going to be tossed and adrift. And that is not what we are taught. Our hope that is our firm expectation and how the spiritual life lives is attached to something firm real distinct which will not let us move. If that is, what we have is the focus of our faith. The focus of our thinking. Then we will have a stability in life. So big is a question. How is it going? How has that stability been? Has it been a little bit adrift? Hasn't been Rock Solid and I think you will agree with me as you examine that in your life personally and is God the Holy Spirit examines that with you but where you are locked in and saw that, it's because your home is based on his word firmly Shirley absolutely and where you are adrift. It's because you don't have his word locked, you in as that anchor, you have it more as a compass. I'll get there eventually. I know I'm blowing and moving around but you don't have a firm connection to scripture or firm connection to a promise and that's why you find yourself adrift.

But here we have the anchor.

The bar stool. I'm not Anker is the person, the work of Jesus Christ which we are told and turns the presence behind the veil. That is the Lord Jesus Christ entered into the very presence of God. He was able to walk behind the veil. And so to now being in Christ Jesus. So can we which is why we have access as priests, we can pray, we can change things around us. If you have been locked into the doctrinal view of fatalism, I beg you to consider reconsider and don't come up with this. Believe, the prayer doesn't make a difference or the you can't pray for someone salvation, what hogwash throughout scripture? We have instances of people, pray for the Salvation of others, interceding? Interviewing him. You can have any impact. Can you change? Your will, can you pray God, change, her will, or you can in a sense, if you are, dr. Lee a little bit, not quite astute. You may pray that way and God will have to interpret that in a correct way. But correctly, pray, you can pray, the God will help a person to understand the fullness of the Gospel. In such a way, as they can give a free-will response, you can Pray that do pray, that it is so important that you do. Then we are told in verse 20. Having crossed into the present behind the veil but he is the 4Runner. He has entered for us this Jesus having become high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Now, you recognize, of course, the Jesus Christ was not a levite he's not from the tribe of Levi. Therefore, he cannot be a priest in that sense. He actually has a higher priesthood because he goes all the way back to the priesthood of milk is a deck and milk is a deck. It turns out was giving all Mitch to buy Abraham bow down before him. NFL Abraham Battle Before milk is a deck. Then that means everyone every one of his children. Great grandchildren, and great-grandchildren all that. He was a janitor of All of those are in here him at that time. So it means when he bowed but Isaac bad and when he bailed, that means that Jake about or who we call Israel. And if he brought, that means all of his 12 children about all the 12 tribes of Israel. So everyone was in Israel, Houghton. Isaac even Abraham there for when Abraham about everyone to follow about before milk is a deck.

So Christ is actually from that priesthood and actual real priesthood. That milk is a deck had before God as opposed to be ordained. Levitical priesthood that came up came about likely. So Christ is able to lead us into a new priesthood. We do not interact with God based on the levitical priesthood. If you think that's the case, then you are misinformed. We don't interact with God. Based on the levitical priesthood, we interact with God. Based on the milk is a deck Ian priesthood. Now we can be informed about much that occurs in Priestly work by the Levites and by The Book of Leviticus looking at it and book of Exodus Numbers, Deuteronomy, we can look and see what's going on there and being formed.

I want to pop forward a little bit to Hebrews chapter 8, verses 1 and 2 were continuing this narrative. Or there are a number of things are being discussed from Hebrews 6. All the way up through Hebrews 9 is one big section and I debated. I thought maybe we can make a run for it, just read the entire thing. But there's a few passages where we would kind of get into the weeds, just a little bit and get distracted. So I decided to do it this way. Hebrews 8 verse 10, this is the main point of the things we are saying, we have such a high priest. Who is seated at the right hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the heavens. Interesting. Our high priest is not here on Earth. He is able to operate as a high priest because he is in heaven and Heaven, venues able to intercede for us. He's able to intercede as a high priest for all pertinent issues were, and he needs to speak directly to God, the high priest, then is that individual who is interceding for, or directly communicating in a relationship with God.

first to he's a minister of the sanctuary. Bring up the true Tabernacle, which the Lord directed and not man we have a number of things that are pointed out here.

Not only is Christ the high priest, but he is a minister of the sanctuary, the heaven week Sanctuary the place where God is where Christ Jesus is and he is ministering there in this actual rule sanctuary of which it is said the true Tabernacle. You see the Tabernacle down on Earth was a representative Tabernacle not the real thing. That's what Hebrews is telling us the real Tabernacle was never the one on Earth that Moses and the Israelites built to honor God. It was a representative picture of that, which is occurring in heaven, and he goes on and he says that the Lord directed this Tabernacle in heaven, the real one and not men. Man has nothing to do with the creation of this Tabernacle. For those individuals who come along and said we have done the archaeological digs, we have checked out the ancient Mesopotamian Valley. We have looked at the other Semitic language groups, going black going back Millennia and we can tell you that this entire concept was constructed by man who has come up with by Mehran has an idea of trying to get close to this. God, they created in their head and here we have the exact opposite being told us Who's not created here on Earth? Don't listen to those archaeologists. Barkyard, just barking after their own fake views of things. Really, what we have is the God himself, is the creator of the heavens and the Earth. You been helping is in there, he created the heavens and then all on Earth, we have many things that teach us point to what is going on in the reality of the heavens. Yes.

It's the same concept, but a tabernacle just literally means the place to dwell.

So even though it is a tabernacle, we think of it, as the temporary, you know, construction out of that, which can be taken down and set up again. So we have pools and we have Fabric and we stretch it and tie it all together and hang the skins and put lay everything out. That's how we tend to think of it as a temporary thing. But what it is, it's an illustration of God dwelling in our miss. When the temple is nothing more than that, exact same concept as a permanent location. Depicting, that there is a permanent situation, God, has set up. But it is the same God, it's about the same God. It's about the same way that we approach God and the same Shekinah Glory. That's in both places. It's be speaking. The same thing. So we were told, we looked at this through several passages in the last couple weeks, but we are told that God is Tabernacle in our midst, even in reference to the temple. So it's using the exact same words, describing the situation. It is a place where God pitches his tent in our midst, even if it's the temple. So the Tabernacle isn't distorting that at all, it's just representing but it is a place to pitch a tent

Well, that makes a difference yet. I'm so we're going to look at this a little bit further and Hebrews. Chapter 8 verses 3 through 6, The writer of Hebrews continues on me. Says for every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices therefore it is necessary that this one also have something to offer speaking in what is going on with the Lord Jesus Christ and helping the Please do we have here on Earth? All have to have gifts and sacrifices as part of their role. So that informs us that. The same thing is happening in the Heavenly realm for Bruce for if he were on Earth, he would not be a priest. Since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law. First five, who serve Notice I have some parts of the verse underlined here who serve the copy and the shadow of the Heavenly things. What are they serving? The copy in the shadow of heavenly things so that which is happening here on Earth with the Tabernacles in the temple is only to reveal. What is going on in the Heavenly places. But continues as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the Tabernacle for he said, see that. You make all things according to the pattern. Sony you on the mountain. So it's a pattern to. Where does that pattern come from? It comes from the reality in heaven, where are the Heavenly Temple is where that place is Growing With? God is continuing verse 6. But now he has obtained, a more excellent Ministry. In as much as he is also mediator of a better government, which was established on better promises, so crisis in the place of the actual Heavenly Temple, and what he is engaged in, what he is involved in is better in every sense, but the writer of Hebrews is making clear from the beginning. And every way the person in the work of Christ is superior to the pictures, is superior to the angels, he's superior to the law. He's superior to the Mosaic Covenant for you. I've been involved in. In fact, he is, he has laid out for us a better Covenant, everything about the person and work of Christ is better. We're going to pop forward up the Hebrews chapter 9.

Verses 1 through 5. We're here. We have a study on the Earthly sanctuary. And further explanation of the Earthly Sanctuary. So in Hebrews 9 verse 1, Venom DVD even the first Covenant had or ordinances of divine service and the Earthly Sanctuary notice that again

We have the Earthly sanctuary. So the first Covenant, the Covenant with Moses was about the Earthly Sanctuary but the Earthly Sanctuary we've already been told and Hebrews versus pass is a picture. Is a representation of the Heavenly sanctuary. So, verse 2. For a tabernacle was prepared. So this temporary dwelling place as we think of it, which is a picture of the heavenlies is what we see the first part. And which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary first three, and behind the second Veil, the part of the Tabernacle, which is called the holiest of all So he's telling us this paints a picture, we need to understand there is a place of open-access. There is a place that which you get to what we call the temple. I mean there was an interesting shoe Airy. Enter an inner place which is the holiest of all the place where God himself, dwells where the glory of God is seen. Verse for which had the golden censer the Ark of the Covenant.

Overlaid on all sides with gold in which were the golden pot that had the Manna Aaron's Rod that budded in the tablets of the Covenant.

So we have depicted there, then The Mercy Seat, all that is in the Ark of the Covenant covered by The Mercy Seat. You see the government's, we're not possible unless they were covered by The Mercy Seat.

Many people in covenant. Theology gets stuck on their Covenants. You may have actually in mine, typically one grand Covenant, that runs all the way across that history, which they have inserted into their views through their system of theology, but doesn't exist. There is no such Covenant like that, but I tried to call it the Covenant of Salvation and so they try to take all those things which we understand is distinct and separate and place those into that Covenant, which crosses time So they have a covenant in mind but it's not the broken up. Distinct covenants. The we tend to have in mind going back to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and David, the land covenants between them Covenant. The New Covenant is attached to the Messiah and more specifically the second coming of the Messiah.

Put all of this as we understand it, all the covenants are actually covered by The Mercy Seat, which is how we meet with God. It's how we gain access. It's where we gain access and it represents the person and work of, Jesus Christ. Specifically in dealing with the SIM issue between God and man versus pin above it. Where the cherubim of Glory overshadowing, The Mercy Seat of these things, we cannot now speak in detail, he doesn't have time. Then this Exposition he's giving us in Hebrews, to go into the details of what every aspect with. Every one of these things memes, pictures represents in terms of the Earthly, being a picture of the Heavenly, we have other places we can go to for that. There's plenty of information for us to pull out. We're not going there either. At this time, we just know that all of those things are represented in the Earthly. Holy of holies. And they give us picture and insight into what is happening in the Heavenly holy of holies.

Couple of points here. No notice, of course, that the covenants and The Mercy Seat or all covered with gold. The Mercy Seat itself, is the place where the blood is poured out on Yom Kippur by the high priest, it is that place in which there is both an atonement and an Absolution for all of mankind, specifically for the people of Israel because this is their Covenant relationship with God. And the high priest is coming before God on behalf of then as a nation with a covenant relationship, but notice again, the Covenant is pictured. Underneath, the mercy seat is on top. There is no access by anyone to the Covenant, unless they go through The Mercy Seat. We've had many movements in the last fifty years, or so, as the Messier Big Jewish meal you if you will has progressed has grown, we've gotten some good Jewish teachers who are speaking biblical truth. I'm studying scripture from a Jewish Israel oriented perspective, which is long, been missing from the theological systems of Western Society. We tossed the Jewish perspective out, we did it to Great harm to ourselves and our own thinking, but now we're getting it back. But we've had those people who come along. They said, oh well, you know, you got the Christian thing and you got the Jewish saying, the Christians, have their Jesus and the Jews have their law. They have their governments may get to God through the government's. But this illustration shows us that that is wrong. You don't get to God through the covenants. The covenants are covered by The Mercy Seat. The Mercy Seat, where the shed blood picturing the working person of Jesus Christ. End of story has been poured out, there is only one way one access. They're not two systems to God. They're not three systems to God, they're not 456 different ways to get to God. There is one way to gain access to God. Historically, going back to the beginning of time. All the way for the never has been never will be any other way to get to God other than the work and person of Jesus Christ.

No, we have progressive revelation from Genesis floor. So that means as time moved forward, we have more and more of an understanding that has been given assembly written revelation. Starting with Joe have been with Moses and then continuing forwards are all the books of the Old Testament. We had that which all points to the person in the work of Jesus Christ, there is no other

We move forward to Hebrews 9:6. So just the next burst forward.

For 6. Now, when these things had been thus prepared, the priest always went into the first part of the Tabernacle performing the services We're seven, but into the second part. The high priest went alone once a year, not without blood. He didn't just walk in on his own merits, he walked in and under the merits.

Moksha, Boyd. Yes, the merits of a work that was representative, Lee depicted by the shed blood, it would be the substitution substitution area payment and a toning force in performed by the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. So not without blood, which he offered for himself because he is a high priest, was a sinner and for the people's sins committed in ignorance. So all of their sins committed knowingly. Do you have been taken care of up at the front where they gave their sacrifices? But there is an issue of people who committed sins that they didn't know about that. They did not sacrifice for. And once a year, God showed, but not only that, they need to deal with their known sin issues, but that he would deal with the Unknown saying issues, so make a burst jump to any one's mine. 1st John 1:9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us. From all unrighteousness. He doesn't just cleanse us of that, which we confess he cleanses us of all unrighteousness, which is a good thing because, quite frankly, even as mature as you may be, You have Sims that you commit unknowingly, you don't think of them as Sin. Our arrogance is an amazing thing. What we can let ourselves get away with, think they were getting away with not even calling is sin, but calling it. Something else is just a Stunna, shhing an astounding. Therefore it is wonderful that we confess our sin. You can go. It's a wonderful. I haven't seen him in a while. I just recommend you get on your knees right there and confessed because you have been used to have been

if you need to walk in the cleansing blood of Christ Jesus, as we say, picked orally, You need to be walking in the filming in the empowering of God, the holy spirit, because he is the one who makes you adequate. Jesus Christ has dealt with your standing, both in eternity and functioning in spiritual reality, right here. And right now, and you need it, we all know that we all made it. We need you to meet at so that we won't be negatively impacted by your sinful perspective and thinking and you know, guilt-by-association we want you to confess your sin so that we all can benefit by Blessing by association as you walk in the power of the spirit. It's a good thing. It's a good interaction that we have. When we all confess our sin and keep short accounts forsake the Holy Spirit, indicating this. But the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest while the first Tabernacle was still standing versus mine. It was symbolic. Who the present time and which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot make him. Who perform the service. Perfect in regard to the conscience. 10 concerning only with foods and drinks various washing fleshly ordinances. Imposed until the time of reformation. He's explaining. You guys are still trying to be involved in levitical system. It dies, you absolutely no good. These are vain washing now because they were symbolic of something, you need to be holding on to that which it symbolize. The real work of Jesus Christ on your behalf. It's Superior to this system that you don't want to give up there for your going to walk into a temporal judgment in ad70. All was going to be destroyed. And also a fellowship problem because you're choosing to think that you are purified Sanctified made, right in God's eyes, by going through a representative system and ignoring the reality of what God has done. You see why I started out talking about there is that, which is on the earth there is that, which is representative or symbolic. And then there is the actual real thing because we actually really live in the spiritual Realms. As Colossians tells us and we were employed by Paul. He says Keep your mind on the things above where Christ is in the heavenlies. Fink live and dwell in this actual reality of the real spiritual life. But what is happening in played out here on Earth, not what the symbolism is. We can get stuck in between and symbolism the point of the physical on Earth is not to look at the symbolism. It's to look at the reality that is symbolized.

You see the truth. The real thing is what we need. Just like, we actually need to walk and rebound confession of sin, The Filling of the spirit, we actually need to have our minds filled daily weekly was often. As we can with the word of God, that it might be vibrant, living and thriving inside.

We actually need to be involved as those who are spiritual creatures in prayer, that is recognizing our daily. Moment-by-moment relationship with God intervening on behalf of others intervening on behalf of society, or church congregation the body of Christ in America. Those Souls who need to be saved. We are to actually be involved in all of these things prayer. Should be constantly coming up with like air bubbles. From a diver under the water blue because you don't stop breathing. You don't stop respiration in the truth of God's word through your soul and giving off prayer bubbles to the Lord constantly it's real. We need to live there and we need to recognize that which is real and that which is transitory that which is all around us. What we pour our actual time and energy into all of this which is going to burn.

Eternity will remain forever. We must make sure that we have our Focus. Correct on Hebrews 9, verses 11 through 15 just picking up a verse moving forward. Which love my Christ. Came as high priest of the good things to come. With the greater and more perfect Tabernacle not made with hands, but is not of this creation. It is not part of creation.

It is not subject, then to the restrictions of creation.

Man had nothing to do with this formation. It is the real the real Tabernacle of God verse 12, not with the blood of goats and calves. But with his own blood, he entered the most holy Place once for all having obtained Eternal Redemption.

I know there are some people who get kind of caught up into the idea of it was there. An actual taking of the blood of Christ into the heavenlies. Was there an actual pouring out? The Catholics, have some great explanations, lots of pictures depicting. The Chalice, with which the blood was captured, there was transported to heaven and poured out in the Heavenly places. But this is his own blood kin to him to not the blood of goats and Cavs Has nothing to do with the hands of man, so I don't think capturing the blood of Christ qualifies cuz I would be with the hands of man, even those who say all the angel did it, they captured, the blood are missing the whole point, it's not the literal blood of Jesus Christ. It's the word that his blood represents that is important. First 13, for, if the blood of bulls and goats from the actions of a heifer, sprinkling, the unclean sacrifices for the purifying of The Flash. So, they have all these rights that are important. You have to have the blood of bulls. What is Big male cows, who are set aside these steers who have a purpose, which is to be slaughtered their blood gathered represent the wife of power and might and the actions of a heifer, that is a female cow. In this case, a red unblemished perfect appearing once in every so many generations. And when they find this red heifer, without a single other hair, only provided by God, And everyone is struggling. Now in the world to try to find this, there is no red heifer nor can one be found or bread. But when the millennial kingdom comes, there will be a red heifer. I wage there will not be a real red heifer that will show up to inaugurate, the fake Temple. That will be put in place during the during the tribulation that Temple of Peace between Israel and all the people dedicated to the Antichrist.

There won't be a real red. Heifer. I don't think but there will be when it's time for the millennial Kingdom. God will have it. It will just walk out. Perfect unblemished ready. And every way sprinkling the unclean sanctify, his for the purity of the flesh who may take this water and Ashes, which is used to purify everything without, which, they cannot have a Sanctified Temple, but it's just a picture first 14. So, how much more shall the blood of Christ? Who through the eternal spirit offered himself without spot to God? Cleanse your conscience from dead works. To serve the Living. God, there's a lot packed in here just simply said it is dead Works to try to approach God. Anyway, other than the grace provision made available through Jesus Christ. And these people are trying to use Deb Works. He is calling them here. In verse 14, to approach the heavenlies, you can't do it can't be done that way. If you ever been driving down in California and you see them building these, great big, huge, causeways and Cloverleaf turnouts and stuff like that in a bra. After a couple of the big earthquakes we've had over the decades past ride Dawn driving down to California and there's a great big causeways you know 300 ft long and it's down on the ground you know when you see this you know this Causeway going One Direction, turning out the other nothing in between you know they have no and they don't arrive at where you would think they might be going. So too with dead works. It's the same thing, you're not getting where you think you're going. There's just a great gap of absence in between Show me the grace work of. Jesus Christ provides what's needed. To have a real actual relationship with the god in the heavens right now. There's $15 for this reason. He that is Christ. Jesus as the mediator of the New, Covenant by means of death for the Redemption of the transgressions under the first Covenant that those who are called may receive the promise of the Eternal inheritance. Lord. Jesus Christ has done, the only thing that is real, the real relationship, the real work, it's all been accomplished by him. Really jump forward a bit. Hebrews 9 verses 23 through 28. Bell in verse 22. Before we get here, we learn that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission or cleansing. It's pictured throughout the Old Testament. There is always a shedding of blood which is a picture of the propitiation work of Jesus Christ Alone can propitiate. He alone can bring peace between us and God he alone can Maryland that relationship which was rent by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden as they send and brought down the curse of sin on all of us. Jesus Christ as the second, Adam alone can bring that repairing. So our final view here in this passage speaks of the greatness of Christ sacrifice, notice how it starts out first, mine, it should be verse 23, chapter 9, Hebrews 9, 23, Therefore, it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens.
