24 Study No. 1

Jesus Is the SanctuaryThis study could go on for hundreds of pages, but ultimately the central themeof the whole sanctuary system is Jesus. Jesus is the Door, the spotless Lamb,and our High Priest. He is the Light of the World and the Bread of Life. He isthe Living Water in the laver and the Rock upon which is written the law of God in the ark. His love is the gold shimmering throughout the Holy Place. Itis His blood that makes it possible for us to approach the Father. Indeed, Jesusis the essence of the temple, for He said, "Destroy this temple, and in threedays I will raise it up. ...But he spake of the temple of his body" (John2:19,21).

5 The Sanctuary Message

All that are saved are redeemed by Jesus alone. "Neither is there salvation in anyother: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby wemust be saved" (Acts 4:12). The only way to God is through Christ, the onlyDoor.

A person would first enter the Gate of the Court to offer a sacrifice for sin orthanksgiving.

Physical description:

Hanging curtains (blue, purple, scarlet, white) Four pillars of brass. Sockets of bronze (brass). Hooks and fillets (clasps) of sliver on the tops of the pillars 20 cubits wide x 5 cubits high (30 ft. x 7.5 ft.)

Court Fence After passing through the gate, the person would come into the court. The courtfence was made of a long piece of linen held up by posts that surrounded theTabernacle. Only priests from the tribe (family) of Levi were allowed to touchthe Tabernacle, so the fence protected people from coming too close accidentally.

Physical description: Linen curtains. Pillars, sockets, hooks, and fillets (tops and rods). Pins of bronze held the linen curtains in place. 100 cubits long x 50 cubits wide x 5 cubits high (150 ft. x 75 ft. x 7.5 ft.)

Articles of Furniture in the Courtyard

Altar of Sacrifice (Altar of Burnt-Offering, Brazen Altar) - (Ex. 27:1-8)

Immediately upon entering the door of the

courtyard sat the brazen altar of burntofferings. The altar was actually made of acacia wood and overlaid withbrass. Some have likened the wood por-tion to human works and the brass toChrist's work. Without the brass, thewooden frame would have been con-sumed by the fire during the burning of the offerings, just as we will be consumed

by the lake of fire if we do not believethat Jesus' grace must eclipse self.
