“Consecrate yourself and be holy,
For I, the Lord your God am Holy".
Lev 20.7
4. Saturday and cross of
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
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; Obad 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
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).

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
