Stan Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Q3. What does the arrangement of the furniture, the tabernacle, and the courtyard teach us about worship? Why do you come to the bronze altar and the laver or basin before you reach the tent itself? It was the order of worship to God that He laid out for the people. They represent the confession,cleansing,and forgiveness of sin before you enter the presence of God or the Holies of Holies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delivered Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Q3. What does the arrangement of the furniture, the tabernacle, and the courtyard teach us about worship? The Israelites were allowed in the outer court, the Levites were allowed to go into the holy place, they are the priests unto God and their responsibility was to make sure the tabernacle was taken care of as God commanded, only the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies, the only light in the Holy of Holies was that of God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marloes Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Q3. What does the arrangement of the furniture, the tabernacle, and the courtyard teach us about worship? Why do you come to the bronze altar and the laver or basin before you reach the tent itself? 1. We enter this place/ prayer. 2. The bronze altar is for forgiveness of sins - like we have to confess our sins when we want our prayer to be effective. 3. The bronze basin is forgiveness - like our confession leads to forgiveness. 4. The lamp and incense are for praise - like we have to praise God in our prayers. 5. Only then, we can meet God.

linda bass Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 The arrangement of the furniture,the tabernacle,and the courtyard all teach that there is an order and progression in worship. Worship is to flow in an orderly manner and not as the result of chaos or confusion. One comes to the bronze altar to confess one's sins. One comes to the laver or basin for the cleansing or forgiveness of one's sins. Only after one has confessed and been forgiven of sin,can they enter freely into worship.

csreeves Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Q3. What does the arrangement of the furniture, the tabernacle, and the courtyard teach us about worship? Why do you come to the bronze altar and the laver or basin before you reach the tent itself? Worship was and is a Holy experience, orderly absent of chaos. Worship includes the steps leading up to the alter (pastor's podium) (bronze) and the basin and cup is equal to the podium representing the Sacraments (blood and body) all to be observed with reverence and Holiness. We are there to worship God only and find encouragment from others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trusting God Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Q3. What does the arrangement of the furniture, the tabernacle, and the courtyard teach us about worship? The arrangement of the furniture, the tabernacle, and the courtyard teach us that worship is a progression to approaching the very presence of God. We enter into prayer to seek and draw near to God, we offer sacrifice and confession with our lips in faith, cleansing and forgiveness is what we receive by faith with thanksgiving, we worship God with thanksgiving and praise as a sweet fragrance before Him, and we meet/encounter God as we see His glory, and meet Him face to face in His Word. Why do you come to the bronze altar and the laver or basin before you reach the tent itself? We come to the bronze altar and the laver or basin before we reach the tent itself, because it represents cleansing. It is where the priest washed their hands and feet before making an offering or entering the tabernacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wifee Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 3a)The arrangement teaches me,that people seek God first in prayer, confessing their sins and in tabernacle the priest sacrifices various offerings to atone for their sin, before being cleansed and forgiven. As believers we are not able to approach God and receive his mercy until we confess our sins in humility turn to him,offer our thanksgiving and praise and receive the atonement the cleansing that Jesus has given us by his sacrifice on the cross. Outside tent the bronze altar is where the sacrifices for sin are made shedding of old me. The bronze laver or basin is where they received cleansing and forgiveness, putting on the new me. Only when we confess our sins in humility, believe Christ died to atone our sins by God’s grace, and receiving his forgiveness and cleansing,so we can truly worship enter into the holy place &approach God blemish free and receiving the glory of God.ultimate goal in the holy of hollies.

Irmela Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 Q3. What does the arrangement of the furniture, the tabernacle, and the courtyard teach us about worship? (there is certain 'protocol' to follow. You cannot just barge in and worship, it doesn't work.) Why do you come to the bronze altar and the laver or basin before you reach the tent itself? (for cleansing) The brazen altar is where sin is dealt with (without a sacrifice, there is no remission of sin) Christ is the One Who paid the Ultimate price, He is the sacrificial Lamb Who takes away the sins of the world. So here it would be confessing of sin. Sin needs to be dealt with before we can go in to worship. At the bronze laver we are cleansed (as saints) and receive forgiveness. The Lord Jesus, when He washed the disciples feet, showed that we need cleansing from the "contamination of the world." Then we can come in to worship in the Holy Place. In the Holy Place you find the Golden Lampstand or Menorah, which was made of one piece of gold. The lampstand held up the lighted lamps. (Worship has to do with walking in the light.) The oil in the lamps represents the Holy Spirit. The Table of Shewbread speaks of Christ as the Bread of Life. (1) A Table of Salvation. A border around the table was a "Crown of Gold", in this way the bread would not fall off. There were 12 loaves of bread representing the 12 tribes. They were all important. One was not more favoured than the other. Equality for all. In Matthew 22:1-14, Christ speaks of the invitation for the meal which the originally invited guests failed to come to and then the invitation given to the the "world/Gentiles" - the bad and the good - to come to the feast. (2) A Table of Provision - God as Creator provides food for man and beast. (3) The Table also speaks of the Lord's Supper. Speaks of Christ being the the sustainer of spiritual life. The Altar of Incense. This stood right by the veil. The incense is a symbol of prayer and praise. Then came the Holy of Holies in which were the Ark and the Mercy Seat, which was where God's presence came. In short one can say before you come to worship, cleanse yourself and then enter where you can be part of the Light, partaking of the Bread of Life and offer prayer and praise to God, Who is at the Mercy Seat with Christ sitting at His right hand.
