Biblical Knowledge - The earthly sanctuary and the heavenly sanctuary(Church of God)

The earthly sanctuary and the heavenly sanctuary


As mentioned, the earthly sanctuary built by Moses was the shadow of the heavenly sanctuary where Christ would offer the true sacrifices as the mediator in the future.

When we pray to God at the appointed times every day and on the Sabbath day, Christ serves as priest in the heavenly sanctuary, so our prayers go up before God with the smoke of the incense to be answered. At the prayer times in God's commanded feasts, too, Christ serves as priest and mediator in the heavenly sanctuary, so we are able to communicate with God.

※ Mediator is the one who goes between two groups or persons to help them work out their differences and come to agreement. Christ became the fellowship offering to reconcile us to God. He was the mediator between God and us. He turned the heart of God to their children and the hearts of the children to God by establishing the new covenant (Heb 9:15; Ro 3:25).

The Apostle Paul wrote that the saints in the Old Testament times kept the feasts of God on earth and the saints in the New Testament times are keeping the feasts of the new covenant in heaven (Heb 12:22-23).

Therefore, through the regulations kept in the earthly sanctuary, we can understand the heavenly sanctuary and the meaning of the feasts which are kept in the heavenly sanctuary. Unless we understand the heavenly sanctuary, we can never understand the feasts of the new covenant nor observe them.

Christ is still mediating for us in the heavenly sanctuary. He causes the prayers of the saints to come before God at the times of regular burnt offering, of the Sabbath day services and of the feasts. Let us give thanks to Christ for His mediation and keep the decrees and laws of God holy so that we can have the forgiveness of our sins.

Biblical Knowledge - The tree of life and the Ten Commandments(wms cog)

The tree of life and the Ten Commandments


The priests offered the sacrifices in the tabernacle according to the regulations. Among the furnishings in the tabernacle, the most important one was the ark of the covenant which had the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments written on them. The ark of the covenant was placed in the Most High Place. No one could enter the Most Holy Place except the high priest. He entered it just once a year, after making atonement by sprinkling an animal's blood on the Day of Atonement (Lev 16:6-34, Heb 9:1-11).

The gold cover which covered the ark of the covenant was called the atonement cover. On the atonement cover, there were two cherubim with wings. These cherubim represented the cherubim protecting the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. This means that God gave us the Ten Commandments instead of the tree of life which was in the Garden of Eden.

If anyone entered the Most Holy Place, where was the Ten Commandments [the tree of life], he could not avoid death. When Aaron's two sons offered unauthorized fire before God, they were burnt to death by fire coming from God (Lev 10:1-2). Uzzah took hold of the ark of the covenant and died right away (2 Sa 6:6-8).

This is because the cherubim protecting the tree of life in the Garden of Eden had a flaming sword (Ge 3:24.).

Biblical Knowledge - Solomon and building the temple(wms cog)

Solomon and building the temple
Solomon became king after David. He went to the tabernacle at the high place in Gibeon (the tabernacle which Moses had built was there) and offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. He received blessings of wisdom, riches and honor from God and began to build the temple of God right away in the fourth year of his reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, the second month, and completed it in the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month.
He spent seven years and 6 months building it (1 Ki 6:1-38).
When the temple of God was built in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah (2 Ch 3:1), King Solomon gathered the priests, carried the ark of the covenant which was in the Jerusalem City, and placed it in the Most High Place. He then prayed to God and offered up the burnt offering. God accepted the offering. Fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering (2 Ch 5:1-7:1).

The structure of the tabernacle
The tabernacle was a rectangular moveable temple, width of 50 cubits and length of 100 cubits.
※ Cubit : an ancient linear unit based on the length of the forearm, usually from 17 to 21 inches. There is a bit of difference depending on the generations and regions.
The entrance of the tabernacle faced the east, and the Most Holy Place, where the throne of God was, the west. The altar of burnt offering for presenting offerings by fire was placed in front of the entrance, the basin for washing the hands and feet was placed in front of the sanctuary. The sanctuary was divided into the main hall and the inner sanctuary. The main hall was called the Holy Place, the inner sanctuary the Most Holy Place.

In the Holy Place were the gold altar of incense, the gold lampstands, the tables of the Presence for the bread of the Presence. In the Most Holy Place was the ark of the covenant which had the Ten Commandments in it. There was a curtain between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place; the curtain blocked the way to the Most Holy Place. However, when Christ Jesus died on the cross, the curtain which was blocking the way to the Most Holy Place from the Holy Place was torn in two from top to bottom, and the way to the Most Holy Place was opened (Mt 27:50).
We hadn't been able to enter the Most Holy Place, but the way to the Most Holy Place was opened. We are now able to enter the Most Holy Place freely, following the Christ (Heb 6:19-20). To say it again, the way to the tree of life, the way to live, which had been blocked till then was opened (Heb 10:19).

Biblical Knowledge - David carried the ark of the covenant into Jerusalem

David carried the ark of the covenant into Jerusalem

Afterwards David became the king of Israel, and Israel became peaceful. King David planned to bring back the ark of the covenant into Jerusalem which was in the house of Abinadab at that time.

When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah the son of Abinadab reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it. The anger of God burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down there for his irreverence. He died there by the ark of God.

David was afraid of God that day and brought the ark to the house of Obe-edom the Gittite. After a few months David heard that God had blessed the house of Obe-edom, so he went there again and brought it to Jerusalem.

After the ark of the covenant was brought into Jerusalem, King David planned to build a temple for God.

2 Sa 7:2 "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within tent curtains."

God didn't allow David to build the temple, but told him that the temple would be built in the time of his descendant after him, who will come forth from (2 Sa 7:1-13). David obeyed the word of God that the temple would be built in the time of his son, and prepared all the materials for the building of the temple (1 Ch 22:2-19).

Biblical Knowledge - The tabernacle in the land of Canaan (WMS COG)

The tabernacle in the land of Canaan

After entering the land of Canaan, the tabernacle which was made in the period of Moses was set up in Shiloh, and the ark of the covenant of God was placed in the tabernacle (Jos 18:1).
There were much meandering in the period of the judges. The ark of the covenant was in Shiloh until the time of Eli the judge. When the Israelites had a battle against the Philistines, Israelites fought against them with the ark of the covenant at the head to win the battle, but in the end a lot of people died and the ark of the covenant was stolen (1 Sa 4:1-22).
The Philistines placed the ark of the covenant in Dagon's temple. When they rose the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the God. They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of God.
They feared God of Israel and moved it to another place, but God brought a big disaster on that area, so the ark was moved to Beth Shemesh which is located around Israel (1 Sa 6:1-18).
But God struck down the men of Beth Shemesh, putting 50.070 of them to death because they had looked into the ark of God. The people mourned because of the heavy blow God had dealt them. Afterwards the ark was moved to Kiriath, and stayed in the house of Abinadab and remained there for 20 years (1 Sa 6:19-7:3).

Biblical Knowledge - The Ten Commandments and the Tabernacle-Church of God(wmscog)

The Ten Commandments and the Tabernacle

When Moses received the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments written on them on Mount Sinai, God showed him the tabernacle in heaven. Moses came down from the mount and delivered the word of God to the people. To keep the tablets of the Ten Commandments, a tabernacle had to be built. So he made the people gather the materials for the tabernacle such as gold, silver, linen and cotton and so on. They brought freewill offerings every day, and so many materials to build a tabernacle were gathered that Moses told them not to bring any more (Ex 35:4-36:7).


Technicians such as Bezalel and Oholiab began to build a tabernacle, completed it on the 1st day of the first month the next year, and placed the ark of the covenant, which contained the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments written on them, in the Most Holy Place.

The sanctuary was made of the tent of twisted thread. So the sanctuary was called the tent as well as the tabernacle. The tabernacle was not a stationary temple, but a movable one for the Israelites moved continually in the desert.
