A Shadow of Heavenly Things

(KJV Heb 8:5) Who serve unto the example and Shadow of Heavenly Things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the Tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount The Tabernacle Pattern shown to Moses on the Mount was fashioned on the Shadow of Heavenly Things to come, from its tent coverings to its three parts, its utensils and garments of worship including the place of the Levitical Priesthood within this tabernacle

The Earthly Tabernacle gives us a unique insight into the order of things in Heaven pertaining to God and also to Satan. In the Sanctuaries within the Tabernacle we will be able to identify Satan’s role, his authority and track his purpose… and in these things we shall evidence the Mark of the Beast

The Tabernacle’s Three Parts

Outer Court where sacrificed beasts were washed, slain, burnt, the blood collected and so on; the Flesh/Death

The Holy Place wherein was the Table with the Shewbread the Lampstand with its seven lamps and the Alter of Incense or burnt offering; the Light/Truth

The Holy of Holies; The Ark of the Testimony contains the Tables of the Law. The Mercy Seat sat on top of the Ark and the two Cherubim stood either side with their wings outstretched; the Covenants/Promise

The Tabernacle is an image of Heavenly things made Visible on Earth (Rom 1:20)

 

The ¹Messiah’s Three Part Order

The Order in which all things bow to the Name of the ¹Messiah follows the exact pattern laid out in the 2nd Sinai Commandment…

(KJV Phil 2:9-10) …God also has highly exalted him and given Him a Name which is above every Name: That at the Name of ¹Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven and things in Earth and things under the Earth (the Water) (¹Strongs G2424) Of Hebrew origin [H3091] (Pre-Nicea 325AD) Jesus is Jehoshua (Hebrew = Yahshua) or (English = Jehovah’s Salvation)

(AMP Heb 1:3) He is the Sole Expressionof the glory of God, and He is the Perfect Imprint and Very Image of (God’s) Nature… Scripture identifies the ¹Messiah is the Express Image of God and the 2nd Sinai Commandment speaks of protecting this likeness

 

The 2nd Commandment when placed within the greater context of God’s Word, identifies the order in which  the ¹Messiah/Christ will bring all things in subjection to His Name. This Law then warns against those who would tamper or mimic with the Messiah’s order of things

 

Satan’s Three Part Order

However, Satan’s threefold purpose unfolds in a different order to the 2nd Sinai Law… The Red Dragon from heaven, the Scarlet Beast from the sea and the False Prophet out of the earth

Satan will mimic the Messiah’s three part ministry but his order of things is not God’s ordained pattern and in this error, is born the Mark of the Beast. Satan’s final dispensation is earthly, not Spiritual

The ’I AM’ who admonished Moses to build the Tabernacle to an exact pattern on mount Sinai, also wrote the 2nd Sovereign Commandment as a  Witness Against those, who would make an image of the things pertaining to the ¹Messiah

 

The Tabernacle Materials

The Materials freely given by Israel to build the Tabernacle of Witness in Moses time are the very same items ²brought & ³sold by the Merchants of the Earth in Revelation. (Ref: Exodus/Leviticus)

These Same Materials were also purchased by Solomon to build the Temple in Jerusalem (Ref: Ezekiel 26-28) (²Strongs H7069) To Erect, To Create; To Procure, especially by purchase; To Own, Buy, Provoke to Jealousy, Purchase, Recover, Redeem + (³Strongs H4376) Sell ones-self as merchandise Sold into Slavery, to Surrender All

(Rev 18: 11-13) ..and the Merchants of The Earth shall weep and mourn over her for No Man Buys Their Merchandise any more. The Merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory…and of brass, and iron, and marble, and cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil…and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and Slaves, and Souls of Men

God Pinpoints what Merchandise the ²buying & ³selling in (Rev 13:17) refers to. We are not asked to theorise or ponder the marvels of science but rather we are required simply to believe God’s revelation of the matter

The Sinai Covenant: The materials brought and sold by the Merchants of the Earth in Revelation point to the statutes and ordinances of worship under the Levitical Priesthood. The covenants of the fleshly sacrifice of Beasts and of temples made with hands

Satan’s Order of Things has led to a carnal man, fashioned on the earthly Adam and not a Spiritual Creation in Christ
