Preparing for Parousia: The Key that Unlocks Revelation
Preparing for Parousia: The Key that Unlocks Revelation
Of the approximate 404 verses in Revelation, 278 contain
phrases from or allusions to the Old Testament scriptures. That
amounts to almost three-quarters of the material in Revelation.
More specifically, the book of Revelation draws much of its
imagery and forms its guiding theme from the Old Testament
Sanctuary Service.
The sanctuary service of the ancient Hebrew people is the key that
unlocks the message of Revelation and its understanding prepares mankind for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
A Basic Sketch of the Sanctuary
After having delivered the Israelite people from Egyptian slavery
through the leadership of Moses, God brought His chosen nation into
the wilderness of Sinai. Camped at the base of Mt. Sinai, the Lord
communicated to them through the prophet Moses.
God gave them His Ten Commandment law (see Exodus 19-
20). Then, He gave them instructions to build a sanctuary and institute
a system of sacrifice and priesthood (see Exodus 25:8). The entire
sanctuary and its services were designed to be a symbolic lesson book to
illustrate the plan of redemption that would ultimately become reality and be fulfilled by and
through Jesus Christ.
A detailed blueprint of the building was given, along with careful
directions for conducting the ceremonial services.
Following is the basic floor plan of the temple:
- Courtyard
- Holy Place
- Most Holy Place
- The Gate
- The Altar of Sacrifice
- The Laver of Cleansing
- The Table of Shewbread
- The Seven-Branched Candlestick
- The Altar of Incense
- The Ark of the Covenant/Testimony
Two Phases of Ministry
There were two basic parts to the earthly sanctuary service: first,
there was the daily service, which involved the courtyard and the Holy
Place or the first apartment of the temple. Second, there was the yearly service,
which included the courtyard and Holy Place but centered in the Most
Holy Place or the second apartment.
The Daily Service
The daily service was designed to illustrate the forgiveness of sins
freely given us by virtue of the sacrifice of Christ’s life in our place and
ministered to us by Him as our heavenly High Priest.
The repentant sinner in the Israelite camp would bring his sacrifice to
the temple courtyard. Placing his hands upon the animal’s head, confession
of sins was made, thus in symbol transferring the guilt of the sinner to an
innocent substitute. The lamb was then slain by the repentant sinner, to represent the coming Savior who would “die for our sins” (1 Corinthians 15:3).
When Jesus stepped out of eternity into our world, John the Baptist declared Him “The Lamb of
God which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).
The blood of the daily sin offering was applied in one of two ways:
(1) It was taken into the Holy Place and sprinkled before the inner veil and
on the horns of the altar of incense (see Leviticus 4:6-7, 17-18).
Or (2) it was placed on the horns of the a
