1 Chronicles 28:9-18 –
“And you, Solomon my son, know the
God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts and understands every
plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you
forsake him, he will cast you off forever. Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the
sanctuary; be strong and do it.” Then David gave Solomon his
son the plan of the vestibule of the temple, and of its houses, its treasuries, its
upper rooms, and its inner chambers, and of the room for the mercy seat; and the plan of all that
he had in mind for the courts of the house of the Lord, all the surrounding chambers, the treasuries of the house of God, and
the treasuries for dedicated gifts; for the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, and all the work of the service
in the house of the Lord; for all the vessels for the service in
the house of the
Lord, the weight of gold for all
golden vessels for each service, the weight of silver vessels for each service, the weight of the golden lampstands and their lamps, the weight of
gold for each lampstand and its lamps, the weight of silver for a lampstand and
its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand in the service, the weight of gold for
each table for the showbread, the silver for the silver tables, and pure gold for the
forks, the basins and the cups; for the golden bowls and the weight of each;
for the silver bowls and the weight of each; for the altar of incense made of refined gold, and
its weight; also his plan for the golden chariot of the cherubim that spread their wings and
covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
Hebrews
8:5 – They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was
about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that
was shown you on the mountain.”
Exodus 30:1 – “You shall make an altar on which to burn incense; you shall make it of
acacia wood.
Application:
- · Both the tabernacle and its ministry were intended to illustrate symbolically the only way sinners may approach a holy God and find forgiveness.
- · The fragrant smoke from the incense symbolized the prayers of God’s people.
