Last week we saw that God wants 100% commitment to Him. King Saul, the first king of Israel was unfortunately not 100% committed to God and therefore God chose another king for Israel. He then sent Samuel to go to Bethlehem and to anoint a new king for Him there. God gave him specific instructions […]
I was contemplating which series to start next and the Lord placed King David on my heart. If we look at the genealogy of Jesus, two figures stood out and was very important to the Jews, namely Abraham and King David. Abraham was important to the Jews as he is known as the father of […]

Last week we finished with the series of the Temple. I hope you learned as much as I did. I am so humbled by all the symbolism that has been revealed to me by His Spirit. I am really grateful and I will never read the passages on the Temple in the same way again. […]

Last week we finished off with the Most Holy Place. We learned that we can leave all our worries and cares there, because God cares for us with an affectionate love that cannot be fathomed. He has all our problems safely within His hands. We must just leave it there and trust Him inexplicitly with […]
Last week we finished off with the Most Holy Place. We came to the conclusion that the mercy seat represents our good standing with God. It represents our close relationship with Him. We are sitting at the right hand of God, because Jesus is sitting there and we are one with Him. Therefore we have […]
Last week we looked at the meaning of the Ark and its contents and we concluded that God wants us to come to Him under the new Covenant, always and without restraint. His ‘door’ is always open to us. And with Him is all the provision we will ever need. We never need to worry, […]
Last time we finished with the Holy Place. It was so amazing to see how the Holy Spirit was presented there in all His glory and how Jesus was depicted as the Bread of Life. And how our prayers are like sweet incense to the Lord. When prayed from a position filled with the Holy […]
Last week we finished with the last item in the Holy Place. So today I want us to have a look at all the symbolism in each of these and see to what conclusion we can come regarding the Holy Place. First of all we had a look at the engravings inside. We came to […]
Last week we learned that the altar of incense represented the prayers of the people of God. It was in front of the entrance of the Most Holy Place. And this represents that our prayers bring us into the Most Holy Place. And with Jesus’ death the curtain was torn. Thus through Him we can […]

Inside the Holy Place there were a number of things. There were ten golden menorahs, five on each side, there […]
Last week we finished with the symbolism of the entrance of the Temple. But as we’ve seen the whole Temple inside is decorated in the same manner as the entrance, namely with cherubim, palm trees, open flowers and gold. So let us take all these images together and see to what conclusion we can come. […]
Last time we had a look at how God wants to say ‘I love you’ in a very special way. He wants to bless us with flowers that will never fade away in His Presence in the Temple. He wants us so close to Him that He can flow through us and produce even more […]
It is Easter and I am once again reminded of how much God loves us. He gave up His most precious Son, in order to have us as His sons and daughters. And as His sons and daughters, we have access to His liberal fountain of love. Psalm 36:7-9 in the Passion Translation displays this […]
