The Alter of Incense (4 of 5)
Series: Tabernacle Prayer
Zach Terry
Ezekiel 28
INTRODUCTION: We are a series of sermons where we are looking at the Tabernacle old Testament Tabernacle as a pattern for prayer.
Remember Jesus said - Luke 19:46 (ESV)
46 ... ''It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers.''
So whatever else the temple or tabernacle might be - it is to be a HOUSE OF PRAYER.
Now what is the House of Prayer after Pentecost? YOU ARE! Do you not know you are temples of the Holy Spirit.
PRAYER GUIDE - So in this series we are looking back at the prototype, the shadow, of all we are to be as a people motivated by prayer.
Now when the temple was right - the glory of God came upon it, but when the temple was wrong, you could write ICHOBAD on the threshold meaning, ''The Glory has Departed''.
I wonder if there are some Christians in here this morning and you are saved, if you die you'll go to heaven, but for all practical purposes the GLORY has departed from your life. The touch and the presence of God is absent. This series is about getting that back!
We have been examining the furniture in the Tabernacle.
The Brazen Altar - where sacrifices were made, reminds us that we can only pray by way of the cross of Christ - the lamb of God who takes away our sin.
The Laver - where washing took place symbolizing the appropriation of grace. We said - if we cherish iniquity in our heart the Lord will not hear us... but the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
The 7 branch Candlestick which is symbolic of the 7 fold Spirit of God - We talked about Praying in the Holy Spirit. If you missed that one get on the Maximum Life podcast and listen to it. One of the most important sermons you'll ever hear.
The Table of Shewbread - The Word of God.
The Alter of Incense - Points to the Worship of God
COMMENTARY ON THE ALTER OF INCENSE - Daily life in the ancient world was anything ...
