We continue with our discussion of the materials used to build the perimeter of the sanctuary including the wood, metals, colors of thread and the symbolism contained in them.Picture of Old Testament Sanctuary with furniture Overview of the Sanctuary  We talk about the actual dimensions of the perimeter which is 100 cubits by 50 cubits and the symbolism of the number 300 (adding up the sides). Damon discusses how these dimensions are quoted in Zechariah and Revelation. Damon also notes that 300 is the number of God’s provision: Noah’s Ark was 300 cubits long, Enoch walked with God 300 years, Samson catches 300 foxes and Judas says the Alabaster oil could have been sold for 300 pence.Damon discusses the idea of type and antitype in the bible and how it can be used to discuss how one thing points to another thing. Paul called it shadow (copy) and substance (reality) in the New Testament. We discuss how these stories are a map leading the Israelites to the coming of Jesus as the Messiah.Colossians 2:16-17Hebrews 8:5 We discuss the screen of the East Gate and the materials and colors used for the thread of the veil:  1. Blue (God’s Law/Obedience)Exodus 24:10Numbers 15:37-41Psalm 19:1Psalm 19:7-9We discuss God’s Law (The 10 commandments) and their meaning to the Israelites as well as how they are part of modern society and still have meaning to Christians today. 2. Purple (Royalty/Kings)We discuss how blue + red = purple (obedience + sacrifice) and how it represented the stability of the home and the sacrifice that was needed to be a king. We discuss Jesus as King of Kings being draped at the cross in purple, a picture of a real king with obedience and sacrifice. 3. Red/Scarlet/Crimson (Sacrifice/Atonement/Blood)Leviticus 17:10-11 We discuss how the sanctuary was almost saturated in blood from sacrifices daily that pointed to the future atonement by Jesus dying for our sins.Hebrews 10:4-7Hebrews 10:12Isaiah 1:16-17 We discuss that the red color came from the Crimson Worm, “Tolah,” which was mentioned in Psalm 22:6 which points to Jesus and his sacrifice.Send us a textIgniting the Gospel is hosted by Pastor Damon Snead and Danielle Clark and produced by Rex Morris as a ministry of the Conroe Seventh Day Adventist Church in Conroe, TX.Check out our full Show Notes at:Igniting The Gospel Podcastwww.conroesda.net/igniting-the-gospel-podcastHave questions or comments?
