*to them that wait for him, unto salvation.*
*NOTE**: *In 1944 Lee Ellenwood came up from California to Port Alberni,
BC, Canada to conduct teaching services. God had just revealed himself to me
at Passover that year according to His Promise: “*Join the Navy - and I'll
reveal Myself to you.” *I did, and He did 9 months after I joined up as a
Volunteer Reserve Seaman/Bandsman. So I was ready for this teaching.
Not one teaching meeting that summer, but Lee would draw a diagram of the
Tabernacle of Moses. He pointed out that the Outer Court represented our
body, where we meet Jesus in Salvation at the Brazen Altar, and then obeyed
Him in baptism at the Laver. Then we enter the Holy Place, where our soul
started to be renewed in mind through our newly recreated spirit in the Holy
of Holies. As we visited the 7-fold Menorah, a picture of the 9 gifts of the
Spirit (Tongues and Interpretation being equal to prophecy for edifying) -
and the 3 vocal gifts therefore seen as one. The Gift of the Holy Spirit
according to the “Peter-package” of Acts 2:38, follows baptism. Then we
visit the Table of His presence, where the 12 tribes of Israel are
represented by the 12 loaves arranged in 2 piles of 6 each. There is also
wine at the table, representing the blood of Jesus. In John 6 He said, *“Except
you eat of My flesh and drink of My blood, you have no life in you.”* We
must learn to daily feed on the merits of Calvary through Jesus as *the
Living Word*, and drink of Him as the *Spirit of life*.
Then we are ready to visit the golden altar of Incense where we are enabled
to worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth - the desire of His heart. For
*“God is a Spirit - and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and
in Truth - for God seeks such to worship Him.” *
Then, because of Jesus' death and resurrection, we are enabled to pass the
“Riven veil” and enter the Holiest of all, where God by type sits enthroned
above the Mercy Seat, under the covering wings of the Cherubim. Here at last
full reconciliation that Jesus purchased for us is realized, and we become *one
spirit* with God.
So - daily we should take this walk through these 6 pieces of furniture.
David sang, *“I will enter **His Gates** with thanksgiving in my heart - and
into **His Courts** with praise!”* The final picture of this is Psalm 86:11
- *“**Unite my heart** to fear Your Name.” *Our recreated spirit united with
the Spirit of God - reaches down into the Holy Place, and through our
renewed mind, unites spirit and soul into a *united heart*! NT saints of the
early church experienced this. David by faith leaped through the
dispensations, and experienced this too.
But 9:1-10 reveals that Moses' Tabernacle was only a “type” of heaven, and
is altogether inadequate for what God had in mind for us - Jew and Gentile
alike in the “One New Man!”
9:11-12 reveals that it was through *Jesus*, and His “Finished Work” at
Calvary, that *He* as our Antitype - fulfills what God all along had in mind
from the day of Adam's sin, till - 4000 years later when His only-begotten
Son undid the sin of Adam - sin he passed on to the whole human race. It is
*only* through Jesus that God's plan and will can be fulfilled. It is
*not*through Mohamed, nor Buddha, nor Hinduism, nor any other
religion, that sin
has been atoned for - *only* through Jesus! Any who try to get into God's
heaven *in any other way*, are thieves and robbers. It may be “politically
incorrect” to spell out the Good News of Jesus as our Savior and Lord - but
*it is true*.
9:23-28 spells out so clearly that Christ's *one sacrifice only* has
fulfilled all OT types - and the only one who God accepts as *the way* unto
Him - the Father! Jesus said, *“I am the **true** and **living Way**: **no
man** comes unto the Father - except **through Me**!” * Those who would
by-pass God's only way of salvation in Jesus - will one day answer for their
rejection and disobedience at the Great White Throne Judgment. Far better to
accept God's way of salvation in Jesus, and meet Him at the Judgment Seat (B
*E*ma), where He will judge all believers for deeds done in their bodies
down here, and give out rewards according to their “sensitivity,
faithfulness and obedience.” Some will be saved as by fire, with no rewards.
These things were clearly spelled out to me in 1944. I have been walking in
them for over 65 years. I have *no regrets*, and warmly invite *all* to join
me in this marvelous salvation in Jesus! - J.A.W.
