99 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 1 - Part 3 - Book 9 - Kadesh-Barnea

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 3 * BOOK 9 TABERNACLE SET-UP; DESCRIPTION OF MATERIALS: CHRIST; HIGH PRIESTLY WORK: KADESH-BARNEA Exodus - Deuteronomy Let's start again in John's gospel, Chapter 20, where Mary confronts Jesus outside the tomb early on that resurrection morning, where she is supposing him to be the gardener: Jesus said unto her, `Mary…'" John 20:16b John 20:17 "Jesus said unto her, `Touch me not;….'" John 20:27a It's touching. Come back to Verse 17: John 20:17 Melchisedec the High Priest. Remember that Melchisedec was a High Priest forever. And Christ was a High Priest after the order of Melchisedec, and not after Aaron. Jesus told Mary that He would ascend to the Father. Now verse 11: Hebrews 9:11 "But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;" A pattern of the Tabernacle in heaven. This Tabernacle was not made by Jewish craftsmen, it was untouched by human hands. (The last word in the verse, "building" could have been better translated "creation") Hebrews 9:12 "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." Now let's break that verse down: "Neither by the blood of goats and calves (as the High Priest of Israel did.), but by his (what? By His ) own blood he entered in once (not once a year like Israel's High Priest did. The key word in the Book of Hebrews is "ONCE" ) into the holy place (what's the holy place? The very presence of God at the mercy seat of God, and there He sprinkled His own blood on the mercy seat), having obtained eternal redemption for us." Is anything impossible with God? My own idea is that He presented His own blood there in the very throne room of heaven. Our stock answer should be "There sits the blood." It is based all upon that finished work of Christ. Our sins are forgiven. Confess them. Call it what God calls it. And the moment we confess it, the Lord Jesus the advocate, points to that blood, and says "Father, he or she is under the blood" And Paul says "Nobody dare accuse us." Let's go back, and pick up Leviticus Chapter 16. There was no Day of Atonement for Israel until Christ died. Leviticus 16:1,2 "And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD and died; (remember they took strange fire) And the LORD said unto Moses, `Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.'" What is under the mercy seat? The demanding Law, and there is no mercy in the Law. Always remember that. The Law can't save anybody: Leviticus 16:3,4 "Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. Leviticus 16:5,6 "And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. Leviticus 16:7,8a Leviticus 16:8 "And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for a (what?) scapegoat." Leviticus 16:9,10 "And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. So there wasn't gobs of blood upon that gold. Then after he had presented the blood of the goat on behalf of the children of Israel, he would make his way back out. Come down to verse 20. I've had this question before also. Had anyone other than the High Priest tried to go behind that vail, he wouldn't have come out alive. And so the High Priest actually did have bells around the hem of their garment. Down to Verse 20. When he has finished his work in the Holy of Holies: Don't lose sight of Who is pictured even in this scapegoat? Christ is. See, He has become not only our sacrificial goat, the One Who's blood was sprinkled, but now He becomes the scapegoat. There's a Hymn that says Buried, he carried our sin, where? Let's read on: Leviticus 16:21 "And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man (where?) Absolute darkness fell upon the earth. It's finished. Of suffering the sin penalty that was finished. Because Paul says, "We know only Christ, crucified and risen from the dead." And remember, that's our Gospel. Oh, so many people are hanging on Jesus' earthly ministry. Anyway, the high priest then fulfilled, or he pre-typed that which Christ fulfilled as our high priest. And as I've pointed out now in all the aspects of the Tabernacle program, those priests were human. They died. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
