This week in our deeper and prayerful study of the book of Numbers we come to the matter of, Lighting the Lamps, which is specifically mentioned in Num. 8:1-4. Although many other details related the Tent of Meeting are omitted from this record, the priests are specifically instructed to light the lamps of the lampstand. […]
Taking Christ as Life and Everything for us to be Transformed and Built up Together

I have never before considered the tabernacle and the priesthood together, but this week I have seen something further concerning this: the Lord’s heart’s desire is the building, the main emphasis of the Bible is life and building, and the tabernacle (the building of God) is actually the same as the priesthood (the built up […]
