This article of furniture for tonight is an
interesting one. It's the altar of incense. They
carried all these pieces of furniture through the
wilderness. Wherever they went, they carried this
portable place of worship. This incense altar was to
be right in front of the veil, by the ark of the

of Jesus on the cross. Those animals pointed toward
what Jesus would do on the cross when He became our
substitute.
The second article of furniture was that little

is a picture to us of the importance of cleansing our
daily lives—staying clean before the Lord. As we read
God's Word we wash our lives in the water of the Word
of God. After the priest had washed himself there, he
would go into this Tabernacle proper. We've already
gone in there. There was an entran ...
