EXODUS CHAPTER 30 30:34 Frankincense is not to be confounded with incense ( to which it was to be added ), as it is often used apart from incense, We are told what composed the incense__never in Scripture what the frankincense was. All speaks of Christ__the sweet spices of those perfections which we may apprehend, the frankincense of that which God saw in Jesus ineffable. 30:38 What is condemned here is making worship a mere pleasure to the natural man, whether sensuous, as in beautiful music to please the ear, or eloquence, merely to give delight to the natural mind. JOHN 4:23__24. 30:18 Laver, type of Christ cleansing us from defilement, and from "every spot or wrinkle or any such thing" ( JOHN 13:2__10; EPHESIANS 5:25__27 ). It is significant that the priests could not enter the holy place after serving at the brazen altar till hands and feet were cleansed. 30:31 Anointing oil, type of the Holy Spirit are service

EXODUS CHAPTER 27 27:9 The fine linen commonly typifies personal righteousness ( EXODUS 26: ), and in the hangings of the court stands for that measure of righteousness which God demand of any who would, in his own righteousness, approach. Christ, figuratively speaking, put up the hangings of the court in Luke 10:25__28. The only way of approach was the "gate" ( Verse 16, JOHN 10:9 ). The hangings of the court bar out equally the self-righteous man and the open sinner, for the height was above seven feet ( EXODUS 27:18 ). 27:1 Brazen altar type of the Cross upon which Christ, our whole bunt-offering, offered Himself without spot to God ( HEBREWS 9:14 ). 27:1 EXODUS 25:10 The altar of burnt-offering is double the height of the mercy-seat. The atonement more than saves us__it glorifies God ( JOHN 17:4 ).

EXODUS CHAPTER 26 26:31 The inner veil, type of Christ's human body MATTHEW 26:26; 27:50; HEBREWS 10:20 ). This veil, barring entrance into the the holiness, was the most expressive symbol of the truth that "by the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified" ( ROMANS 3:30; HEBREWS 9:8 ). Rent by an unseen hand when Christ died ( MATTHEW 27:51 ), thus giving instant access to God to all who come by faith in Him, it was the end of all legality; the way to God was open. It is deeply significant that the priests must have patched together again the veil that God had rent, for the temple services went on yet for nearly forty years. That patched veil is Galatianism__the attempt to put saint or sinner back under law. ( GALATIANS 1:6__9 ). Anything but "the grace of Christ" is "another gospel," and under anathema. 26:19 Silver symbolizes redemption ( EXODUS 25:1; 38:27 ). All the tabernacle rests upon silver except the hangings of the gat

EXODUS CHAPTER 25 25:30 Showbread, type of Christ, the Bread of God, nourisher of the Christian's life as a believer-priest ( PETER 2:9; REVELATION 1:6 ). In John 6:33__58 our Lord has more in mind the manna, that food which "came down;" but all typical meanings of "bread" are there gathered into His words. The manna is the life-giving Christ; the showbread, the life-sustaining Christ. The showbread typifies Christ as the "corn of wheat" ( JOHN 12:31__33 ). We, as priests, by faith feed upon Him as having undergone that in our stead and for our sakes. It is meditation upon Christ, as in HEBREWS 12:2__3. 25:10 All begins with the ark, which, in the completed tabernacle, was placed in the holy of holies, because, in revelation, God begins from Himself, working outward toward man; as, in approach, the worshipper begins from himself, moving toward God in the holy of holies. The same order is followed in the Levitical offerings ( LEVITICUS

EXODUS CHAPTER 20 20:4 There is a threefold giving of the law. First, orally, in Exodus 20:17. This was pure law, with no provision of priesthood and sacrifice for failure, and was accompanied by their "judgments" ( EXODUS 23:14__19 ) directions for keeping three annual feasts, and ( EXODUS 22:20__33 ) instructions for the conquest of Canaan. These words Moses communicated to the people ( EXODUS 24:3__8 ). Immediately, in the persons of their elders, they were admitted to the fellowship of God ( EXODUS 24:9__11 ). Second, Moses was then called up to receive the tables of stone ( EXODUS 24:12__18 ). The story then divides. Moses, in the mount, receives the gracious instructions concerning the tabernacle, priesthood, and sacrifice ( EXODUS 25:31 ). Meantime ( EXODUS 32 ), the people, led by Aaron, break the first commandment. Moses, returning, breaks the tables "written with the finger of God" ( EXODUS 31:18; 32:16__19 ). Third, the second tables we

EXODUS CHAPTER 14 14:30 - Redemption: ( EXODUS type ) Summary. Exodus is the book of redemption, and teaches: ( 1 ). - redemption is wholly of God (EXODUS 3:7__8; JOHN 3:16 ); ( 2 ). - redemption is through a person ( EXODUS 2:2; JOHN 3:16__17 ). ( 3 ). - redemption is by blood ( EXODUS 12:13, 23, 27; 1 PETER 1:18 ); ( 4 ). - redemption is by power ( EXODUS 6:6; 13:14; ROMANS 8:2 ). The blood of Christ redeems the believer from the guilt and penalty of sin ( 1 PETER 1:18 ) as the power of the Spirit delivers from the dominion of sin ( ROMANS 8:2; EPHESIANS 2:2 ). CHAPTER 15 15:25 - These bitter waters were in the very path of the Lord's leading, and stand for the trials of God's people, which were educatory and not punitive. The "tree" is the cross ( GALATIANS 3:13 ), which became sweet to Christ as the expression of the Father's will ( JOHN 8:11 ). When our Marahs are so taken we cast the "tree" into the wat
