The Table Of The Lord
And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me,
that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom…
Luke 22:29, 30.
The table of the Lord in the Sanctuary was the place where the Lord's
bread was laid before Him for the tribes of Israel.
Exodus 25:30 And you shall set the showbread on the table before Me always in the Holy Place, outside the veil where the lampstand and altar of incense were placed.
The place where the Lord's incense was offered was called an altar,
and everything in the Holy Place was Anointed
Exodus 30:
25 And you shall make from these a holy anointing oil, an ointment compounded
according to the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the Testimony;
27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense.
The place for breaking the bread of fellowship
among the sons of Aaron in the Holy Place
Leviticus 24:5 And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it. Two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. 6 You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, on the pure gold table before the Lord. 7 And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, an offering made by fire to the Lord. 8 Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. 9 And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, by a perpetual statute.
The Showbread on the table of our heart brings favor.
Proverbs 3:
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck,
write them on the table of your heart,
4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.
This is the meaning of the term 'purpose of heart'.
Acts 11:23 When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.
Breaking the bread of fellowship is the place where our hearts are laid out before Him,
and before one another to minister in Spirit and Truth.
This must be holiness unto the Lord.
1 Corinthians 10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons;
you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.
Without a holy table of the Lord, the fellowship of love among the holy priests
defiled their worship.
Malachi 1:12 But you have profaned it, in that you say,
The table of the Lord is polluted;
and the fruit thereof, even his bread, is contemptible.
The Saints not only minister to one other, but also to the Father's
special people at the table of the Lord.
Luke 14:
13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.
14 And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be
repaid at the resurrection of the just.
15 Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!
And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me,
that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom…
