Caption transcript for Journey of Restoration: “The Tabernacle in the Wilderness” (8/10)

00:05 I LOVE ISRAEL,
00:06 I LOVE THE PEOPLE.
00:08 IT'S TOTALLY SO...
00:09 IT'S INDESCRIBABLE.
00:11 IT FEELS LIKE HOME...
00:12 IT JUST FEELS LIKE HOME.
00:14 WELCOME TO JERUSALEM...
00:15 IT JUST TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.
00:17 IT JUST SHOWS THE FINGER PRINT OF GOD EVERYWHERE.
00:19 TO REALIZE HOW SPECIAL THIS CITY AND THE PEOPLE WERE TO THE LORD...
00:24 IT'S GOD'S CHOSEN LAND AND JESUS WALKED ON IT.
00:28 I THINK THERE'S A RESTORATION AS PASTOR MYLES TALKED ABOUT.
00:31 HOW GOD IS REALLY GATHERING THE JEWS.
00:37 THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST WE'VE BEEN GRAFTED-IN
00:39 AND NOW THIS IS OUR CITY ALSO.
00:52 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.
00:54 I'M MYLES WEISS
00:55 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS.
00:57 AND WE ARE CONTINUING OUR SERIES THE "JOURNEY OF RESTORATION"
01:00 BRINGING ISRAEL TO YOU AS YOU JOIN US ON ONE OF OUR TOURS.
01:04 OUR PILGRIMS HAVE BEEN ENJOYING THE LAND, MEETING THE PEOPLE,
01:07 LEARNING THE BIBLICAL SITES,
01:09 HAVING SCRIPTURES COME ALIVE.
01:10 AND TODAY WE ARE GOING TO VISIT AT MOCK-UP OF THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS.
01:15 RIGHT...WE DRIVE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE SOUTH.
01:17 ON OUR WAY DOWN WE VISIT A FULL MOCK-UP LIKE YOU SAID OF THE TABERNACLE.
01:23 AND GOD REPRESENTS EACH AND EVERY...
01:25 JESUS IS IN EACH AND EVERY STAGE AS YOU MOVE FORWARD IN THE TABERNACLE.
01:29 YEAH...IT'S REALLY AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE.
01:31 YOU'RE GOING TO ENJOY THIS TODAY.
01:33 WE HAVE A SPECIAL SURPRISE.
01:34 AS WE GOT THERE WE UNLOADED THE PILGRIMS,
01:36 WE STARTED TO WALK THROUGH IT
01:38 AND OUR GUIDE, A YOUNG MAN NAMED MARCO,
01:40 REVEALED TO US COMING INTO THE TABERNACLE THAT IN FACT HE IS A BELIEVER IN YESHUA.
01:46 HE'S A JEWISH MAN BORN IN ISRAEL AND A BELIEVER IN YESHUA.
01:50 AND SO LET'S GO TO TIMNA, THE AREA WHERE THIS TABERNACLE IS
01:54 AND SEE THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS.
01:59 (Myles Weiss speaking) IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF ISRAEL IS THE ARAVA,
02:03 A VALLEY THAT STRETCHES FROM THE DEAD SEA TO THE RED SEA.
02:07 IN MODERN TIMES THIS VALLEY DIVIDES ISRAEL AND JORDAN.
02:10 IN BIBLE TIMES THE AREA JUST EAST OF HERE WAS EDOM WHICH IN HEBREW MEANS "RED".
02:16 YOU CAN SEE TRACES OF THAT COLOR IN THE LANDSCAPE AS WE ENTER TIMNA PARK.
02:21 TIMNA IS THE SITE OF THE VERY FIRST COPPER MINE.
02:25 THOUSANDS OF ANCIENT MINING SHAFTS HAVE BEEN FOUND HERE
02:28 AS WELL AS REMAINS OF SMELTING FURNACES DATING BACK TO ANCIENT IMPERIAL EGYPT.
02:33 THE LIFE SIZE REPLICA OF THE BIBLICAL TABERNACLE STANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK
02:38 WHERE THE GUIDE MARCO SAAD MEETS OUR GROUP.
02:44 SO I UNDERSTAND YOU GUYS ARE ALL COMING FROM CHRISTIAN BACKGROUNDS.
02:47 YOU'RE ALL CHRISTIANS?
02:49 SO AM I ACTUALLY.
02:50 I'M JEWISH BUT I ALSO BELIEVE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT...MESSIANIC.
02:54 SO MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY A MINISTRY.
03:01 THIS TABERNACLE IS ACTUALLY SUPPORTED BY THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST.
03:07 IT'S A PRIVATE BUSINESS WHICH WE USE THIS TO CHALLENGE BELIEVERS TO GO BACK TO THE NEW TESTAMENT
03:14 BECAUSE EVERY LITTLE DETAIL IN THE TABERNACLE AND IN THE BIBLE
03:18 COMPARES JESUS TO THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THIS IS A CHANCE FOR US,
03:23 ESPECIALLY FOR ME HERE AS A JEWISH PERSON,
03:25 TO TALK ABOUT JESUS TO JEWISH PEOPLE THROUGH THE TABERNACLE.
03:30 SO I'M EXCITED THAT YOU GUYS ARE HERE.
03:35 THE TABERNACLE...
03:37 WHAT IS THE TABERNACLE...
03:39 WHAT IS IT...
03:40 WHAT WAS IT.
03:41 A PLACE OF MEETING...
03:43 EXACTLY...
03:44 PEOPLE SAY IT WAS GOD'S DWELLING PLACE.
03:46 WE CAN EVEN SAY THE TABERNACLE WAS THE TEMPLE THAT THEY HAD IN THE DESERT,
03:51 THAT THEY WALKED AROUND WITH OUT THERE IN THE DESERT.
03:53 NOW WE SEE ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS OF HOW TO BUILD A TABERNACLE GOD GAVE MOSES ON MOUNT SINAI
03:58 BUT THE ALL THE MATERIALS TO BUILD IT,
03:59 ALL THE TREASURES THAT ARE USED FOR IT,
04:01 ALL THE GOLD AND SILVER AND COPPER THEY TOOK WITH THEM FROM EGYPT AS SOON AS THEY CAME OUT.
04:05 AND WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF EGYPT GOD SAID I WANT TO DWELL IN MY PEOPLE.
04:10 THOSE WORDS "TO DWELL" WHEN HE SAID IN HEBREW IS CALLED (SPEAKING HEBREW)
04:15 WHICH MEANS TO DWELL INSIDE OF YOU.
04:18 NOW WE ALL AS BELIEVERS WE KNOW WHAT IT MEAN
04:19 BUT BACK THEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT INDIVIDUALLY
04:22 SO WHAT IT WAS IS THE TABERNACLE WAS AT THE CENTER WHERE ALL THE TWELVE TRIBES CAMPED AROUND.
04:26 THE THREE TRIBES ON EACH SIDE OF THE TABERNACLE
04:29 BUT THE FIRST TRIBE HERE IN THE ENTRANCE, WHAT TRIBE WAS HERE?
04:32 JUDAH, EXACTLY, THE TRIBE OF JUDAH...
04:35 WAS TO KNOW THAT JESUS CAME FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH SO HE'S CLOSEST TO THE ENTRANCE.
04:39 DON'T FORGET INSIDE ONLY PRIESTS AND LEVITES WERE ALLOWED TO BE IN THERE.
04:43 IF SOMEONE ELSE WOULD WANT TO WALK INSIDE
04:45 WILL DIE BEFORE HE WOULD EVEN TOUCH EVEN TOUCH THE VEIL.
04:48 YOU GUYS WANT TO WALK INSIDE?
04:50 YOU SURE?OKAY...
04:52 HERE...SO LET'S WALK.
05:00 (Katharine Weiss speaking) HOW AWESOME IT WAS TO WALK THROUGH THE CURTAINS
05:03 AND BEHOLD THE LIFE SIZE ALTAR, LAVER, AND PORTABLE SANCTUARY.
05:08 IT WAS LIKE STEPPING BACK IN TIME SOME 3300 YEARS.
05:14 SO TO THIS AREA, THE COURTYARD, LIKE WE SAID
05:16 ONLY THE PRIESTS AND LEVITES WERE ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE... NO ONE ELSE.
05:19 THE ALTAR WAS MADE FROM ACACIA WOOD WITH COPPER AROUND.
05:24 AND ALL THE HOLY ITEMS THE PRIESTS AND LEVITES HAD TO CARRY BY HAND
05:28 SO THAT'S WHY THEY HAD THOSE RODS ON THE SIDE
05:30 SO THEY CAN JUST PICK IT UP AND WALK WITH THEM.
05:32 NOW HERE THEY HAD TO SACRIFICE ALL THE ANIMALS
05:35 BUT BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE IN THIS AREA
05:38 SO ALL THE ANIMALS FOR THE SACRIFICES THEY BROUGHT THEM ONLY TO THE ENTRANCE.
05:42 THEN ALREADY THE PRIEST TOOK THE ANIMAL, THEY KILLED THE ANIMAL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ALTAR.
05:47 THEY TOOK THE BLOOD OF THE SACRIFICE, THEY PUT IT ON THE HORNS OF THE ALTAR,
05:51 THEY POURED THE BLOOD AT THE BASE AND THEN THEY SACRIFICED THE ANIMAL INSIDE
05:57 BUT THE FIRE THAT WAS INSIDE IT WAS HOLY FIRE.
05:59 WE SEE IT FROM THE ALTAR...GOD BROUGHT THE FIRE FROM HEAVEN.
06:03 HE IS THE ONE WHO STARTED THE FIRE AND BECAUSE IT WAS HOLY IT HAD TO BE BURNING ALL THE TIME
06:08 EVEN WHEN THEY MOVED FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER
06:10 THEY HAD TO TAKE OUT THE FIRE AND KEEP IT BURNING.
06:13 NOW SLOWLY ALL THE DEAD COALS AND THE ASHES
06:16 BECAUSE IT WAS HOLY NO ONE ELSE WAS ALLOWED TO USE IT
06:19 SO THEY TOOK IT OUT AND THEY PUT IT IN A HOLY PLACE FAR AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE.
06:23 SO IN EVERY PLACE THEY CAMPED THEY HAD A SPECIAL PLACE WHERE THEY PUT THE HOLY COALS.
06:28 THERE ARE FIVE MAIN SACRIFICES THAT A PRIEST HAD TO DO DAILY.
06:34 ONE OF THEM IS A SPECIAL SACRIFICE...
06:36 IT'S A SIN OFFERING...
06:37 IT'S A SIN SACRIFICE.
06:39 YOU KNOW WHY IT IS SO DIFFERENT THAN THE REST OF THE SACRIFICES?
06:41 WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT?
06:43 DO YOU KNOW?
06:45 WELL I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS...
06:47 THAT IS A WHOLE SACRIFICE WHICH THE WHOLE ANIMAL THE WAY IT IS IS BURNED UNTIL ITS ASHES.
06:54 THE SIN SACRIFICE IS THE ONLY SACRIFICE WHERE THE PRIESTS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT FROM ITS MEAT
07:00 AND IN HERE ON THE ALTAR THEY WOULD ONLY BURN THE FAT AND THE KIDNEYS OF THE ANIMAL,THAT'S IT.
07:06 ALL OF THE REST OF THE ANIMAL,
07:07 THE FLESH, THE BONES AND THE SKIN,
07:09 THE BURNING OF THE HOLY COALS...
07:11 FAR AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE, OKAY,
07:12 IT WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BURN WITHIN THE PEOPLE.
07:17 YOU GUYS DIDN'T BRING ANY ANIMALS.
07:19 YOU'RE IN THE TABERNACLE WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING ANY MORE ANIMALS? WHY NOT?
07:25 IT'S FINISHED.
07:26 JESUS WAS OUR PERFECT SACRIFICE.
07:29 HE WAS THE LAST SACRIFICE.
07:31 BECAUSE OF JESUS WE DON'T HAVE TO BRING ANY MORE ANIMALS OR BRING ANY MORE SACRIFICE.
07:36 THIS WHOLE TABERNACLE WAS LIKE GOD'S PLAN FOR SALVATION THROUGH JESUS.
07:42 NOW, WHEN JESUS, WHEN HE WAS OUR SIN OFFERING,
07:45 WHEN HE WAS OUR SIN SACRIFICE,
07:46 WHEN HE IS OUR SIN
07:48 WE CAN SEE THAT ALSO THEN HE DIDN'T DIE WITHIN THE PEOPLE
07:51 BUT ACTUALLY DIED OUTSIDE OF JERUSALEM.
07:54 WE CAN TALK MORE ABOUT IT
07:55 BUT WE'RE A LITTLE SHORT ON TIME.
07:57 SO GUYS CAN COME UP TO THE ALTAR AND THEN WE'LL TALK SOME MORE.

09:30 I LOVE WRITING FOR THE NEWSLETTER DON'T YOU? >>I DO
09:33 IT'S BEEN A REAL PRIVILEGE FOR US TO DO THIS.
09:36 WE WANT TO GO BACK TO THE TABERNACLE.
09:37 OUR GUIDE MARCO IS ABOUT TO EXPLAIN THE OUTER PORTIONS OF THE TABERNACLE
09:42 BEFORE WE ACTUALLY ENTER IN TO THE HOLY PLACE AND THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
09:46 SO LET'S JOIN MARCO AT THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS.
09:56 THE BUILDING ITSELF WAS BUILT WITH DIFFERENT PANELS.
09:59 EACH ONE OF THE PANELS WAS FROM ACACIA WOOD WITH GOLD.
10:02 WE CAN SEE THAT OUTSIDE IN THE COURTYARD EVERYTHING IS MADE OUT OF COPPER WITH COPPER BASES
10:06 AND HERE THE HOLIER WE GET
10:08 THE OBJECTS INSIDE ARE GOING TO BE FROM GOLD OR SILVER BASES.
10:11 NOW EACH ONE OF THOSE PANELS HAD ACTUALLY TWO SILVER BASES...
10:14 IN EACH ONE OF THOSE BASES WAS ABOUT 75 POUNDS OF PURE SILVER.
10:19 SO THAT'S 75...75...IT'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT THEY BROUGHT IN ORDER TO BUILD THE TABERNACLE.
10:24 AND THEY HAD THOSE GOLDEN RINGS WITH THOSE RODS
10:27 WHICH IS TO USE SO THEY CAN JUST TAKE THE RODS OUT AND TAKE THE WHOLE BUILDING APART
10:31 AND THEN MOVE REAL QUICK FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.
10:34 MAYBE IT WASN'T THAT QUICK
10:35 BUT THIS IS THE WAY THEY ACTUALLY TOOK IT APART AND MOVED.
10:38 AND THEN THERE'S FOUR LAYERS OF THE TENT...FOUR LAYERS.
10:44 THE FIRST ONE IS LINEN IS WHAT YOU SEE HERE WITH FOUR COLORS.
10:47 THERE IS THE WHITE, THE RED, THE BLUE AND THE PURPLE.
10:51 NOW WE KNOW THE WHITE IN BIBLE IS SOMETHING CLEAN, SOMETHING PURE.
10:54 THE RED IS BLOOD.
10:56 BLUE IS HEAVEN.
10:57 BUT WHAT IS PURPLE IN THE BIBLE?
11:01 ROYALTY...EXACTLY...RIGHT...
11:04 WE CAN SEE THAT EVEN WITH JESUS WHEN HE CAME OUT OF POWER
11:06 HE HAD THE CROWNS OF THORNS AND A PURPLE ROBE AND THEY SAID, HERE HE IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
11:10 SO KNOW THAT THE KING OF JEWS, YESHUA, JESUS CAME FROM HEAVEN
11:14 SO THROUGH HIS BLOOD WE COULD BE PURIFIED.
11:16 AND OF COURSE EACH KING IT IS IT'S BODY GUARD.
11:19 SO THERE YOU HAVE THEM ALL THE CHERUBIM.
11:22 NOW THE SECOND LAYER OF THE TENT WAS GOAT'S FUR.
11:24 IT'S REALLY HARD MATERIAL;
11:26 THEY STILL USE IT TODAY HERE IN THE DESERT, THE BEDOUINS.
11:28 THE THIRD WAS RAM'S SKIN AND THE FOURTH LAYER OUTSIDE WAS THE SKIN OF A TACHASH.
11:32 WHAT IS A TACHASH?
11:34 A BADGER?
11:36 OKAY...THAT'S WHAT'S WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE IN ENGLISH...BADGER.
11:39 DID YOU CHECK IT IN RUSSIAN? (TOURIST) NO
11:42 IN RUSSIAN IT SAYS DOLPHIN.
11:44 IN EACH LANGUAGE IS WRITTEN A DIFFERENT KIND OF ANIMAL.
11:48 (Myles Weiss speaking) SO NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE THE SOURCE OF SKIN
11:52 THAT WAS USED ON THE OUTER COVERING OF THIS HUGE TENT...
11:54 REMAINS A MYSTERY.
11:56 OUR NEXT STOP IS INSIDE THE TABERNACLE.
11:59 THIS IS THE HOLY PLACE AND HERE WE FIND SOME WONDERFUL TYPES AND SHADOWS OF THE COMING MESSIAH.
12:08 SO THIS AREA IS CALLED HAKODESH WHICH MEANS "THE HOLY".
12:11 ONLY THE PRIESTS WERE ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE.
12:13 WE SEE THERE IS DIFFERENT RINGS OF HOLINESS RIGHT THROUGHOUT THE COURTYARD
12:16 WHICH ONLY THE PERSON LEVITES WERE ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE.
12:18 IN HERE AFTER THE SECOND CURTAIN ONLY THE PRIESTS
12:20 AND THEN AFTER THE THIRD CURTAIN IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES ONLY THE HIGH PRIEST ONLY ONCE A YEAR.
12:26 THE MENORAH ON THE SOUTH SIDE WAS FROM PURE GOLD.
12:29 IT WAS ONE PIECE OF GOLD AND IT HAD 7 LAMPS.
12:33 HERE EVERY DAY THEY HAD TO PUT OLIVE OIL IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING
12:36 BECAUSE THIS WAS ALWAYS BURNING ALL THE TIME.
12:39 BUT THE MENORAH WAS ACTUALLY THE ONLY LIGHT THEY HAD IN THIS AREA.
12:43 THE CURTAIN HERE WAS CLOSED.
12:45 THIS WAS THE ONLY LIGHT THEY HAD.
12:47 JUST IN FRONT OF IT ON THE NORTH SIDE WE HAVE THE SHOWBREAD TABLE.
12:51 WITH THE 12 SHOWBREADS WHICH ONE REPRESENTS EACH TRIBE FOR ITS HOLY BREAD.
12:56 ONLY THE PRIESTS WERE ALLOWED TO EAT FROM THIS BREAD.
12:59 BUT SOMEONE ELSE DID IT FROM THIS.WHO WAS THAT?
13:02 DAVID, EXACTLY, KING DAVID ATE FROM THIS.
13:04 BUT HE WASN'T ALONE WAS HE?
13:07 NO...OH HE HAD 400 MEN WITH HIM.
13:10 NOW THOSE MEN THAT WERE WITH HIM, THEY'RE NOT SO GOOD PEOPLE.
13:13 THEY ARE THIEVES, ROBBERS, MURDERERS, REBELS...BAD PEOPLE.
13:18 NOW WE ALL KNOW THAT GOD HE'S A HOLY GOD.
13:20 AND GOD IS THE RIGHTEOUS BECAUSE IT'S WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.
13:23 AND SO WE HAD AARON THE HIGH PRIEST.
13:25 AARON HAD FOUR SONS.
13:27 TWO OF HIS SONS NADAB AND ABIHU OFFERED STRANGE FIRE.
13:30 WHAT HAPPENED?
13:31 GOD KILLED THEM STRAIGHT AWAY.
13:33 WHY, BECAUSE THEY TOOK SOMETHING HOLY AND DID SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THEM.
13:37 THEY DID WHATEVER THEY WANTED TO WITH THEM.
13:39 THE WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT THE BREAD WAS HOLY.
13:42 I THOUGHT ONLY THE PRIESTS WERE ALLOWED TO EAT FROM THIS BREAD.
13:45 DAVID WASN'T A PRIEST.
13:47 HE WASN'T EVEN FROM THE TRIBE OF LEVI.
13:49 HE WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH
13:51 AND THE PEOPLE WHO WERE WITH HIM WE TALKED ABOUT THEM.
13:53 THEY ARE NOT TOO GOOD.
13:55 SO WE SEE THAT GOD...
13:58 SOMETIMES WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND GOD BUT WE NEED TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE BECAUSE GOD HAD A PLAN.
14:04 GOD KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING THAT HE'LL USE DAVID
14:06 BECAUSE JESUS CAME FROM THE SEED OF DAVID.
14:09 IF DAVID WOULD HAVE DIED YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY
14:12 BECAUSE YOU WOULDN'T CARE ABOUT THE TABERNACLE.
14:14 NOW, DAVID WANTED TWO THINGS FROM THE PRIEST.
14:16 DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT THOSE TWO THINGS WERE?DO YOU REMEMBER?
14:20 WAS IT HE WANTED A SWORD, A WEAPON,
14:22 SO HE GAVE HIM THE SWORD OF GOLIATH AND BREAD.
14:25 BUT DAVID WAS REAL SPECIFIC ABOUT THE NUMBER OF BREADS HE WANTED.
14:30 DAVID ONLY WANTED 5 LOAVES OF BREAD.
14:33 INTERESTING, EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS KING DAVID?
14:36 OF COURSE, I HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMING THROUGH HERE.
14:39 THERE WASN'T A SINGLE PERSON WHO DOESN'T KNOW KING DAVID.
14:42 SO IF THIS BIG, BIG KING DAVID TOOK THOSE 5 LOAVES OF BREAD
14:46 AND IT WAS ENOUGH FOR HIM AND FOR 400 PEOPLE
14:49 WHAT DOES IT MAKE LATER HIS DESCENDANT JESUS WHEN HE TOOK FIVE LOAVES BREAD,
14:53 ADDED TWO MORE, BUT FED 5,000 PEOPLE.
14:56 HOW MUCH BIGGER IS JESUS COMPARED TO THIS BIG KING DAVID...
15:01 BIGGER THAN ANY OTHER KING...
15:04 BIGGER THAN ANY OTHER MAN.
15:05 HE IS ACTUALLY THE KINGS OF KINGS RIGHT?
15:08 SO THIS IS ONLY A TINY PICTURE TO SHOW YOU HOW THAT JESUS IS COMPARED TO ANYBODY ELSE.
15:12 AND ALSO LATER IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS
15:14 WE SEE THAT PAUL COMPARES JESUS TO THE HIGH THE PRIEST
15:18 BUT NOT LIKE ANY HIGH PRIEST
15:19 BUT A MUCH BIGGER ONE.
15:21 SO HE GOT THE CLOTHES OF THE NORMAL PRIEST, THE REGULAR PRIEST WHO HAD HIS HEAD COVERED.
15:27 THIS ONE PIECE OF CLOTH FROM LINEN, A BELT WITH THE FOUR COLORS
15:30 AND HE HAD PANTS FROM LINEN UNDER IT.
15:33 AND THEN THERE WAS THE HIGH PRIEST.
15:36 NOW THE HIGH PRIEST THERE WAS ONLY ONE HIGH PRIEST AT A TIME
15:40 AND HE WOULD REMAIN BEING A HIGH PRIEST UNTIL THE DAY HE DIED.
15:43 IT MEANS THERE IS NO VACATION; THERE IS NO PENSION, NOTHING.
15:47 AND ONLY AFTER HE DIES ONLY THEN HIS SON WILL BECOME HIGH PRIEST AFTER HIM.
15:52 HE HAD THESE WHITE CLOTHES AND HE HAD THIS BLUE GARMENT
15:57 BUT ON THE BOTTOM OF IT HE HAD A BELT AND POMEGRANATE...
16:00 A BELT AND A POMEGRANATE OKAY.
16:02 SO EVERY TIME HE WALKED EVERYBODY COULD HAVE HEARD HIM.
16:06 AND HE HAD TWO PRECIOUS STONES ON HIS SHOULDERS WITH THE NAMES OF THE 12 TRIBES
16:10 AND THE EPHOD, THE BRASS PLATE
16:13 WITH THE 12 STONES ONE FOR EACH TRIBE WITH THE NAME OF THE TRIBE.
16:16 NOW, ONE DAY A YEAR, YOM KIPPUR, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT,
16:19 THE HIGH PRIEST HAD TO WALK INSIDE INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES
16:23 TO REPRESENT THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF GOD
16:26 BUT HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO WALK WITH GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES
16:30 BUT HE HAD TO TAKE IT ALL DOWN AND WEAR ONLY THE WHITE,
16:33 ONLY THIS ONE PIECE OF CLOTH FROM LINEN.
16:36 IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE WHEN JESUS
16:38 WHEN HE WAS OUR HIGH PRIEST
16:40 AND CLEARLY THIS SHOWS THAT HE HAS THE 12 TRIBES CLOSE TO HIS HEART
16:46 BUT THIS ACTUALLY SHOWS THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT HE CARRIED ON HIS SHOULDERS.
16:50 IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE JESUS TOOK OUR RESPONSIBILITY ON EACH SHOULDER.
16:54 LITERALLY JESUS CARRIED HIS OWN CROSS FOR US
16:58 AND FROM EPHESIANS CHAPTER 3 IT SAYS, AND I KNOW EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU BY NAME.
17:03 SO ON THIS ONE DAY WHEN JESUS WALKED INTO THE CROSS TO BRING OUR SINS IN FRONT OF GOD
17:08 HE DIDN'T COME AS A KING WITH HIS GOLDEN CROWN AND PRECIOUS STONES
17:12 BUT IT SAYS HE TOOK DOWN ALL OF HIS GLORY AND WENT TO THE CROSS
17:15 JUST WITH THIS ONE PIECE OF CLOTHES WITH NO STITCH.
17:19 HERE WE HAVE ANOTHER ALTAR.
17:21 THIS IS THE INCENSE ALTAR.
17:23 THERE IS THE GOLDEN ALTAR.
17:25 HERE THEY HAVE TO BURN INCENSE EVERY DAY IN THE MORNING AND IN THE EVENING
17:28 BUT IN YOM KIPPUR, THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
17:31 THE HIGH PRIEST HAD TO TAKE SOME OF THE HOLY FIRE WITH A HANDFUL OF INCENSE
17:34 AND ONLY THEN HE WAS ABLE TO WALK THROUGH THE VEIL INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
17:51 YOU KNOW THE PATTERN IS SO EXACTING,
17:55 THE PATTERN IN THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS AND THEN LATER IN THE TEMPLE.
17:58 IT'S SO PERFECT BECAUSE IT POINTS TO THE PERFECTION OF YESHUA
18:02 BUT IT WAS THE GRACE OF GOD THAT ALLOWED YESHUA TO FULFILL THIS HIMSELF
18:07 SO THAT WE SEE THIS INCREDIBLE CONNECTION BETWEEN EVERY JOT AND TITTLE OF THE FURNITURE,
18:13 EVERYTHING, EVERY COLOR, EVERY FABRIC,
18:15 EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THERE MEANS SOMETHING ABOUT MESSIAH.
18:18 ABSOLUTELY AND IT ALSO REPRESENTS GOD HIMSELF
18:21 WANTING TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH US.
18:23 WHEN HE BROUGHT THEM OUT OF EGYPT THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED WAS RELATIONSHIP
18:28 AND HE MADE ACCESS THROUGH HIS SHED BLOOD
18:31 BUT THE BLOOD WAS ALSO SHED ON THE ALTAR IN THE WILDERNESS BEFORE.
18:36 SO LIKE YOU SAID BEFORE MYLES THERE'S A HISTORICAL
18:40 AND THEN THERE'S A PERSONAL
18:42 AND THEN THERE'S A PROPHETIC MEANING.
18:44 AND IT'S SO AMAZING TO SEE IT, THIS EXAMPLE IN LIFE SIZE FORM IN THE WILDERNESS.
18:49 IT'S TRUE AND YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE TO BE STANDING BETWEEN THE PLACE OF...
18:54 THE HOLY PLACE AND THE HOLY OF HOLIES
18:57 AND TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE CONTINUALLY GO DEEPER WITH GOD...
19:01 BECAUSE OF HIS MAKING A WAY FOR US
19:03 BECAUSE THE ACCESS HAS BEEN MADE FOR US WE CAN CONTINUE TO GO CLOSER.
19:07 AND SO MARCO IS GOING TO HELP US
19:09 TO SEE WHAT THE SHIFT IS FROM THE HOLY PLACE INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES
19:14 SO LET'S GO BACK TO THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS AND HEAR FROM OUR GUIDE MARCO.
19:28 KODESH HAKODASHIM, THE HOLY OF HOLIES...
19:31 IN HERE I SAID ONLY THE HIGH PRIEST WAS ALLOWED TO BE INSIDE.
19:35 IT WAS THE ARK OF THE COVENANT WHICH WAS THE HOLIEST ITEM
19:37 TO HAVE OUT HERE IN THE TABERNACLE.
19:40 IT WAS BUILT FOR A MERCY SEAT WHICH IS THE BOTTOM PART BUILT IN ACACIA WOOD WITH GOLD
19:44 AND THEN THE CHERUBIM MADE FROM PURE GOLD...ONE PIECE OF GOLD.
19:47 WHEN THE HIGH PRIEST WALKED INSIDE HE ALSO WALKED IN WITH BLOOD
19:50 AND HE TOOK THE BLOOD WITH HIS FINGERS AND HE SPRINKLED SEVEN TIMES ON THE ARK.
19:56 NOW THIS HE HAD TO DO A FEW TIMES.
19:58 HE HAD TO DO IT 3 TIMES.
19:59 HE WALKED INSIDE...
20:01 WALKED BACK OUTSIDE...
20:02 WALKED INSIDE BACK OUTSIDE.
20:03 PAUL EXPLAINS IN THE BOOK OF HEBREWS THAT THE HIGH PRIEST
20:06 FIRST OF ALL HAD TO BRING A SACRIFICE FOR HIS OWN SIN
20:10 BEFORE HE COULD BRING A SACRIFICE FOR THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE.
20:13 SO THE FIRST TIME HE WALKED INSIDE AND SPRINKLED THE BLOOD
20:16 WAS FOR HIS OWN SIN AND FOR HIS FAMILY.
20:18 THE SECOND TIME WAS FOR THE SINS OF THE PRIESTS.
20:21 AND ONLY ON THE THIRD TIME WITH THE BLOOD OF A GOAT
20:24 IT WAS FOR THE SINS OF ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM.
20:27 AND THEN PAUL SAYS THAT JESUS IS OUR HIGH PRIEST
20:32 WHEN HE WALKED TO BRING OUR SIN IN FRONT OF GOD HE ONLY WALKED IN ONCE.WHY?
20:37 HE WAS PERFECT.
20:39 BUT NOT JUST THAT OUR JESUS WALKED IN ONCE,
20:41 HE ONLY DIED ONCE,
20:43 BUT HE GAVE HIS OWN BLOOD FOR OUR SINS.
20:45 AFTER THE HIGH PRIEST WALKED OUTSIDE EVERY TIME HE WALKED OUTSIDE HE WALKED BACKWARDS.
20:51 HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN IN JERUSALEM?
20:53 HAVE YOU SEEN OUR PEOPLE WALKING OUT FROM THE WAILING WALL?
20:55 AGAIN, THIS COMES FROM HERE
20:57 BECAUSE HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO BRING HIS BACK TO GOD.
21:01 BUT THERE'S ONE MORE GOAT.
21:04 IT'S CALLED "THE SCAPEGOAT".
21:05 IT'S OUTSIDE IN THE ENTRANCE.
21:07 IN HEBREW IT'S CALLED "SAIR LA'AZAZEL".
21:09 HE WOULD LAYS HANDS PUT ON THE HEAD OF THE GOAT
21:12 AND CONFESS ALL THE SINS OF THE PEOPLE TO THIS GOAT.
21:14 THE SON WAS SPECIFIC WAS CHOSEN TO TAKE THIS GOAT, LEAD IT,
21:18 WALK IT FAR, FAR AWAY TO THE DESERT
21:20 AND THERE IT WOULD DIE WITH THE SINS.
21:23 BUT THAT IS INTERESTING.
21:25 WHAT DIRECTION DO THEY SEND THE GOAT?
21:27 TO THE EAST...
21:29 JUST LIKE ADAM AND EVE WERE CAST OUT TO THE EAST, RIGHT.
21:34 AND THAT'S INTERESTING
21:36 BECAUSE JESUS AS HE TOOK OUR SINS ONCE AND FOR ALL.
21:41 IT SAYS THAT THE SECOND TIME HE'LL COME BACK FROM THE EAST BACK INTO JERUSALEM.
21:47 AFTER HE CONQUERED DEATH HE CONQUERED SIN AND HE WILL COME BACK AGAIN.
21:50 WHAT WAS INSIDE THE ARK?
21:53 WHAT IS INSIDE?
21:54 WE HAVE 3 THINGS.
21:56 YEAH...THE ROD OF AARON, TABLETS AND THE MANNA.
21:59 NOW WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE HOLIEST ITEM.
22:03 NO ONE ACTUALLY SAW THIS
22:05 ACCEPT THE HIGH PRIEST AT THAT TIME
22:06 AND THE TWO PEOPLE THAT BUILT IT.
22:08 BUT THE TWO BUILT IT; THEIR NAME WAS "BEZALEL" AND "OHOLIAB".
22:13 BEZALEL MEANS "BTSAL'EL IS IN THE SHADOW"
22:15 AND "EL" IS GOD... "IN THE SHADOW OF GOD".
22:18 THE SECOND MAN IS OHOLIAB...
22:20 "OHOL" IS TENT AND "AB" IS FATHER...
22:24 "THE TENT OF THE FATHER"... THE TABERNACLE!
22:27 SO IT MEANS WHATEVER'S INSIDE IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT FOR GOD.
22:36 SO WE'VE GOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS INSIDE
22:38 WHICH THEY ACTUALLY REPRESENT THE LAW.
22:40 NOW GOD GAVE US THE LAW...
22:42 HERE SO YOU GUYS CAN SEE...
22:44 GOD GAVE US THE LAW.WHY?
22:45 BECAUSE WE SIN...
22:47 SO WE CAN KNOW WHERE WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO AND WHAT WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO.
22:50 CAN SOMEONE HERE KEEP THE LAW?
22:52 ARE YOU SURE?NO ONE CAN?
22:53 OKAY... SO WE'RE IN TROUBLE RIGHT?
22:57 THAT'S WHY GOD GAVE US JESUS.
22:59 WHEN JESUS CAME TO THIS WORLD HE SAID I DIDN'T COME TO CANCEL THE LAW, I CAME TO FULFILL IT
23:04 SO THROUGH ME YOU CAN BE WITH THE FATHER.
23:07 THE MANNA...WHAT IS THE MANNA?
23:09 THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN...EXACTLY.
23:12 THE WORD "MANNA" IT MEANS "I DON'T KNOW"..."WHAT IS THIS?"
23:16 BUT ACTUALLY THE MANNA WAS THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN LIKE YOU SAID.
23:19 NOW JESUS CAME FROM HEAVEN AND HE SAID I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE.
23:23 IF YOU EAT FROM THIS BREAD, YOU DRINK FROM THIS WINE; THIS IS MY BODY, MY BLOOD.
23:27 ONE LAST THING...
23:29 A JEWISH CULTURE WHEN SOMEONE DIES IN YOUR FAMILY YOU RIP YOUR CLOTHES.
23:33 YOU COULD SEE THAT BACK THEN AND EVEN TODAY THEY DO IT SOMETIMES.
23:38 BUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN JESUS DIED?
23:41 THE TEMPLE... THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE RIPPED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
23:46 BUT THIS IS THE ORIGINAL SIZE HERE AT THE TABERNACLE.
23:49 THE VEIL THAT RIPPED WAS SAID WAS THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE.
23:52 THE TEMPLE WAS MUCH BIGGER SO THE VEIL WAS MUCH, MUCH BIGGER.
23:56 IT WASN'T JUST A PICTURE THAT GOD THE FATHER WAS SAD BECAUSE OF THE SON THAT DIED;
24:01 IT SHOWS THAT GOD WOULD OPEN UP THE WAY.
24:03 HE ACTUALLY MOVED THE CHERUBIM AWAY NOT JUST FROM THE ENTRANCE TO THE HOLY OF HOLIES
24:08 BUT HE MOVED THE CHERUBIM AWAY FROM THE ENTRANCE TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
24:13 SEE ONLY AFTER JESUS DIED WE HAVE FORGIVENESS OF SIN...
24:18 ONLY AFTER JESUS DIED.
24:20 IT MEANS SIN DOESN'T SEPARATE US ANYMORE FROM GOD SO WE CAN BE REUNITED WITH GOD.
24:24 AND THEN JUST LIKE HE PROMISED IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS CHAPTER 2 WE CAN GO BACK INSIDE
24:29 AND ITS FROM THE TRUE BLOOD AND ITS FOREVER WITH GOD.AMEN?
24:37 (MUSIC)
24:52 THERE IS SUCH A CONFLUENCE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH
24:57 WHEN YOU'RE AT THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS
24:59 BECAUSE OF THE HOLY PLACE AND THE HOLY OF HOLIES WE'RE SEEING INTO HEAVEN.
25:05 YOU KNOW I'VE HAD PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
25:07 OF BEING ABLE TO SEE SOMETHING OF THE HEART OF GOD IN HIS MERCY
25:11 AND THE WAY THAT THIS TABERNACLE POINTS TO
25:14 THE WONDERFUL MERCY OF GOD AND JESUS SHEDDING HIS BLOOD FOR US.
25:18 I KNOW THAT I'VE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE AS WELL
25:21 WHERE I'VE SEEN THE MERCY OF GOD IN A VERY LITERAL WAY.
25:25 AND I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY AS YOU'RE WATCHING THIS PROGRAM
25:28 THAT AS YOU'RE LEARNING THE CONCEPTS
25:30 AND SEEING THE PICTURES OF THE TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS
25:33 ALSO ASK THE LORD TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU IN A FRESH AND NEW WAY.
25:39 THERE ARE SO MANY PICTURES HERE OF MESSIAH...
25:41 SO MANY PERSONAL THINGS THAT GOD WANTS TO REVEAL TO YOU.
25:45 THEY MAY BE VERY PRIVATE, VERY PERSONAL FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES AND DON'T SHUT THOSE OUT.
25:50 OPEN YOUR HEART TO ALLOW THIS TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS TO SPEAK TO YOU PERSONALLY
25:55 ABOUT YOUR LIFE, YOUR ETERNITY AND THAT OF THOSE AROUND YOU.
25:58 GOD REACHES TO THE DEPTHS RIGHT?
26:01 DOESN'T HE GO...
26:03 HE GOES WHERE NO MAN GOES.
26:05 HE GOES WHEN WE'RE IN THE DEEPEST AND DARKEST PLACE HE CAN REACH DOWN FOR US.
26:09 AND HE CAN REACH OUT HIS HAND AND HE CAN REACH OUT HIS LOVE.
26:13 AND SO AGAIN, WE WOULD JUST THANK YOU
26:16 AND WE ASK YOU TO CONTINUE TO STAND WITH US WITH YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS
26:19 AND IF YOU ARE PROMPTED WE WOULD CERTAINLY APPRECIATE ANY KIND OF OFFERING THAT YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE.
26:28 JUST GO TO 1-800-WONDERS AND DROP US A LINE AND GIVE US YOUR BEST GIFT.
26:34 WE THANK YOU FOR IT.
26:36 THIS IS REALLY A PARTNERSHIP ISN'T IT?
26:37 RIGHT
26:40 BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY OF VIEWERS AND THE READERS OF THE NEWSLETTER AND US TOGETHER WE ARE ABLE TO DO THIS WORK.
26:45 AND I THINK IT GETS MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT AS WE SEE THE DAY OF THE LORD APPROACHING.
