After seeing the significance and application of the ark of the testimony with its propitiation cover and the table of the bread of the presence, this week we are getting into the deeper significance of the golden lampstand. In our crystallization-study of Exodus we want to see not only the types and meaning of these […]
Eating Christ and Displaying Him as the Bread of the Presence to God and His People
The table of the bread of the presence – also called “the showbread table” – is literally the “face-bread”, the bread of God’s face. God wants His people to present to Him fresh bread for Him to feed on and for His people to feed on in His presence. This is wonderful! On the one […]
