“Consecrate yourself and be holy,
For I, the Lord your God am Holy ".
Lev 20.7
4.
Saturday and cross of Golgotha
When God
initiated the creation of the universe, he made the Sabbath day monument of creation.
But SIN has led to what the day has a different meaning: it became a redemptive
sacrifice, death on the cross of Jesus Christ, the son of God.
4.1. What
is "mikdash"?
After
Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, God would execute judgment on them for
breaking the law: "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6.23). But God
is stepped differently. For love of her, he decides: To die for them and
for the
entire human race. Until He establishes a rite of sacrifice, which is not a
shadow of Golgotha: "and the Lord God made for Adam and his wife wear
leather, and clothed them "(Genesis 3.21). The clothes were the first
people, because the mild climate on the Earth was harsh, but they also
symbolize God's grace - all-forgiving and return of the repentant sinner lost
paradise.
Since
this rite of Holy was observed in the people of God. Abel, and Noah brought
benefit - donative and the peace offerings to the Lord, and numerous altars in
the territory Palestine testified that here once stayed Abraham (Gen 4.4, 12.7,
8.20-8).
Retired
Jews from Egypt, were a vivid illustration of the Atonement, and the final is a
Ministry in the sanctuary.
Every day
the blood sacrifice for sin entered into the first (I) branch of the Sanctuary
(see fig. 2) and priest besprinkled it
of beyond the veil, where the Ark of the law against Dartmouth which sinned
people (Lev 4.1-6).
Once a
year, in September (10 in number 7 of the month on the lunar calendar), carried
out a special service of cleansing the sanctuary from sins, introduced there.
Before air of each Israeli during the days of court had to investigate itself and confess all the
sins. If he did not want to do this, he killed. "The soul the making sin,
will die "(Ezek 18.4, Lev 23.29).
For the
rite priest took two goats and threw a lot of them (Lev 16.7-8). The first goat
he then slew it and took his blood and was with her on the second (II) branch
of the sanctuary, which had the right to enter only the high priest (descendant
of Aaron) in the only day of the year; There he sprinkled on the lid and the
lid of the Ark, thus cleansing the sanctuary. The Jews do not repent, Sin
remained on him (v.15-16, 33). This goat symbolized the Christ who died for the
sins of everyone believing in him and accepting his Lord and Savior. Such a person is acquitted on
the
Heavenly Court and receive eternal life (1 John 1.7, 9; John 3.16-19).
Then the
high priest coming out of the sanctuary and laid his hands on the other goat,
and he carried the sins of the people and banned in wilderness (Lev 16.20-22). This
goat was symbol of the devil, who first rebelled against the Government of God,
and then implicated in revolt of the third of the angels and the population of
the planet Earth; now he is unmasked as a liar and the perpetrator of all evil
on the Earth, which, after the end of the world will be destroyed, along with
all followers (1 John 3.8 ; Rev 12.3, 7-9 ; Gen 3.1-6,16-19,15 ; Mal 4.1 ; Is
47.14; Ps 37.10; Avd 16).
Our
regeneration and sanctification is possible thanks to the exploits of Jesus,
and memorial of this consecration - Saturday: "also gave them My Sabbaths,
to ... know that I Lord, sanctifies them (Ezek 20.12). The Hebrew word
"mikdash" - "sanctuary" translated as the
"sanctification" or "redemption", i.e. separation from the
world of sin and
return to
God. The Golgotha’s cross put an end to the victims, as the true victim is
sacrificed.
4.2. The
events of creation and Holy week
Compare
the texts, which share about 4000 years, and which say that we the Christians
were created twice: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation" (2 Cor 5.17-19).

Jesus,
the creator and Almighty, took responsibility for the sin of their creations.
"Finally,
Jesus calmed down from his. A long day of insults and agony of finished. When
the last rays of the setting sun heralded the attack Saturday, the Son of God
lay in the silence of the tomb of Joseph. He completed his work. His hands were
folded peacefully. The Saints watch Saturday afternoon He found peace. In the
beginning, after the case of creation on Earth, the father and son were buried
on Saturday. By creating "the heavens and the Earth and all their
host" (Gen 2.1), the creator and all the heavenly beings were
contemplating this nice picture with glee "the morning stars, when all the
sons of God shouted for joy" (Job 38.7). Now, in the case of redemption,
Jesus became peace. And while the Earth mourned loving it, heaven, joy reigned.
What a glorious future to open eyes is heavenly creatures! Revival creation,
the expiated human race, defeating sin, never will disappear from God - the
result of the completed work of Christ seen angels and God. And with this
Rainbow picture forever is the day on which Jesus will regulate his or her
generation, because "committed his actions" and "everything that
makes God remains forever" (Deut 32.4, Eccl 3.14). When the time comes
"commit all that God spoke through the mouth of all His holy prophets from
of the century" (Acts 3.21), Saturday of creation, the day that Jesus
rested in the tomb of Joseph, will continue during the day of rest and joy.
Heaven and the Earth will merge in glee, and then "from Saturday to
Saturday (Is 66. 23 ) saved people will gladly worship God and the Lamb"
(E.White, “The desire of ages ", Chapter 80).
