THE EARTHLY SANCTUARY

God told Israel in Sinai to build him a sanctuary in the image shown to Moses on Mount ( Ex 25.8-9, Heb 8.5 ).

It consisted of two parts - the Holy and Holy Holy, separated by a curtain ( Ex 26.33 ).

In the first part were:

- lamp (Menorah)  ( Ex 25.21-39 )

- table with the bread ( Ex 25.23-30 )
- the Golden altar of incense ( Ex 30.1-10 )

The second was the ARK ( Ex 25.10-22 ).

On the Ark, you can say the following:

a) there was God 's constitutional law  -  the Decalogue  -  the two  Stone ( Deut 10.1-5 , 1 King 3.9 ).

The law requires obedience from all ( Ex 24.12 ; Deut 6.25,13-14 ). He claims the death of all who violate it, "THE SOUL THE SINNED THUS WILL DIE" ( Ezek 18.4 ). Cover the Ark was called the THRONE OF GRACE, that meant that God will be merciful and gracious to all repentant sinners ( Ex 25.17-22, 37.6-7, 33.16-17 ).

b) a sinner, or the grace of grace all of God, under the conditions that he REPENTS and BELIEVES IN CHRIST, which appeared in the cloud between cherubs on the throne of grace ( Ex 25.22, Lev 16.2, 1 Cor 10.1-4 ).

c) in the law of Moses, in which were all the sacrifices and ministering in the sanctuary, were about the Ark ( Deut 31.24-26, Heb 10.1-3 ).

d)  the Elbow of Levi was service at the Sanctuary ( Num3. 5-8 ).  Only Aharon and his sons could to serve as priests

( Num 18.1-7 ).  Only The HIGH PRIEST could to serve in the Holy Holy  ( Lev 16.2, Heb 9.7 ).

e) All of the Sin offering (priests, society, chiefs, people) was back to sanctuary.
