Colossians 2:16-17
"the shadow of things to come."
The sacrifices were prophetic shadows. We need to know the prophetic truths. With seven times more Scripture on His second coming, as there is on His first coming, shouldn't we be seeking to become prophetically aware and anxious to see Him come for His own?!?!?
People had lost the complete meaning and teaching of the sacrifices. The whole concept of the sacrificial plan of the Lord has been corrupted. However, in the last days we are to receive a fresh revelation of prophetic truth. This study will open your eyes to many misunderstood, forgotten, or ignored truths in the Word of God. It will astound you what the Lord has revealed in the Bible.
Isaiah 42:9
"BEHOLD THE FORMER THINGS HAVE COME TO PASS, NEW THINGS I DECLARE UNTO YOU, BEFORE THEY SPRING FORTH, I TELL YOU OF THEM."
The Bible begins and ends with prophecy.
Genesis 2:17
"THOU SHALT SURELY DIE."
Revelation 22:20
"SURELY, I COME QUICKLY."
Too many have for too long assumed that God is not willing to share prophetic revelation with His own people... Some have turned to quija boards, fortune tellers, psychics, and other forms of learning the future... The Lord does reveal to His own....
Amos 3:7
"HE REVEALETH HIS SECRETS UNTO HIS SERVANTS, THE PROPHETS."
Revelation of prophecy starts in the Word with what God has already revealed. Therefore, we can by study of the tabernacle, the priesthood, the covenant, and even the sacrifices of the Old Testament... to find out prophetic truths.
Daniel 9:2
"I, DANIEL, UNDERSTOOD BY THE BOOKS, THE NUMBER OF YEARS WHEREOF THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO JEREMIAH, THE PROPHET, THAT HE WOULD ACCOMPLISH 70 YEARS IN THE DESOLATION OF JERUSALEM."
Daniel 9:3
"I SET MY FACE UNTO THE LORD GOD..."
Daniel 9:11
"THE CURSE IS POURED UPON US AND THE OATH THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES..."
Leviticus 26:18
"AND IF YE WILL NOT YET FOR ALL THIS HEARKEN UNTO ME, THEN I WILL PUNISH YOU SEVEN TIMES MORE FOR YOUR SINS."
Daniel 9:22
"I AM NOW COME TO GIVE THEE UNDERSTANDING... 70 WEEKS ARE DETERMINED..."
Thus, Daniel was led from Scripture to Scripture, and understood much prophecy. Then he was given more revelation from the Lord directly. We cannot ignore His written Word, and then expect Him to speak and reveal directly to us.
Isaiah 28:10
"FOR PRECEPT MUST BE UPON PRECEPT, PRECEPT UPON PRECEPT, LINE UPON LINE, LINE UPON LINE, HERE A LITTLE, THERE A LITTLE, THAT THEY MIGHT..."
In these last days we have a whole stack of lines, and precepts. God wants to tell us more... In these last days we have a choice...
1. OUTPOURING OF REVELATION
Habakkuk 2:14
"FOR THE EARTH SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA."
2. or FAMINE, THIRST, IGNORANCE OF GOD'S REVELATION
Amos 8:11-13
"LAST DAYS... FAMINE... OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD... THEY SHALL WANDER FROM SEA TO SEA... RUN TO AND FRO TO SEEK THE WORD FROM THE LORD AND SHALL NOT FIND IT ...IN THAT DAY THE FAIR VIRGINS AND THE YOUNG MEN SHALL FAINT FOR THIRST..."
In these last days you may choose which group you will be. Choose to study the Word, and learn all it can tell us...let the Lord lead us to new understandings and revelations that He wants us to see in these last days.
Joel 2:28
"...YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS, YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS..."
This lesson will show you a side of prophecy that has been too much ignored. There were five great offerings of the Old Testament. Too often we have just ignored the revelations of these sacrifices.
The five offerings are:
1. BURNT OFFERING
2. MEAL OFFERING
3. PEACE OFFERING
4. SIN OFFERING
5. TRESPASS OFFERING
The offerings all involved blood except the meal offering. This meal offering represented Jesus in His life, not in His death. The other four give us a four fold picture of His death.
The Scripture showed truth in each offering.
BURNT OFFERING
This showed Christ offering Himself to God...
Hebrews 9:14
"Christ through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God..."
MEAL OFFERING
This shows Christ as the Mediator between God and man.
I Timothy 2:5
"For there is one God and one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus."
THE PEACE OFFERING
This shows Christ reconciling us to God.
II Corinthians 5:18
"God hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ..."
THE SIN OFFERING
This shows Christ giving Himself for us.
II Corinthians 5:21
"He hath made Him to be sin for us..."
John 1:30
"Behold, the Lamb of God, Who beareth away the sins of the world..."
THE TRESPASS OFFERING
This shows Christ making provision for our failures along the way.
I John 1:9
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins..."
This offering presents to us the symbols of the person and the character of Jesus Christ.
It was composed of fine flour, no unevenness (lumps)... and this represents the balanced humanity of Jesus.... For instance, the word "genius" is usually not applied to Jesus, because "genius" usually denotes overbalance. As one may be a genius in math, or as an orator... but not in many fields. People said of Christ, "He hath done all things well." "Genius" is not adequate to describe Jesus. For Christ Jesus had perfect forgiveness, perfect compassion, and was perfect in everything...
Oil was mingled with the flour, and poured upon the flour. The oil was a symbol of Holy Spirit. The flour was a symbol of humanity. In combination, the oil and the flour represent the incarnation of Christ.
Frankincense was poured upon the oil and flour. The frankincense was a sweet gum, a fragrant oil... It represents the attitude of Jesus toward the Father. Jesus said:
John 8:29
"I do always those things that please Him."
Fire brought out the fragrance of the frankincense. In the same way, trial bought out the pleasingness of Jesus toward the Father. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus said:
"Nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt..."
The meal offering was seasoned with salt. Salt is a barrier against corruption. It is used in Scripture in connection with speech.
Colossians 4:15
"Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt."
Jesus said that "the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life..." There was not a word that Jesus spoke that needed forgiveness. Nor was there a word to be forgotten, and never a word that He spoke that needed correction. How lacking is the speech of ourselves... and we must remember that we must someday "give account" of words we have spoken that deserve God's "condemnation...."
There was no leaven in this offering. Leaven is sour and a corrupt thing which is used as a type of sin... Jesus was sinless.
There was no honey in the meal offering. Honey is nature's sweetness. The honey in sin is pleasure... Christ did not fill His life with natural pleasures. The pleasures of sin are for a season... Many seek applause of the world, but Christ said: "Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you..." (Luke 6:26). Sooner or later, honey will turn sour, and the pleasures of many will become tomorrow's regret.
The meal offering was made by fire unto the Lord. Jesus endured the pain of calvary.
The remainder of the meal offering was eaten by priests... (Leviticus 6:14-16) This pictures the church feeding on Christ after His sacrifice...
