The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, ...... and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: ........ the eleven curtains were of one size. .......... he coupled five curtains by themselves, ............ and six curtains by themselves. And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, .. and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second. And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one. And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.' (Exodus 36:14-19) Praise God! anyone remember in Hebrews where paul is speaking about the way not yet being made into the holiest . The Holy spirit this was speaking of . I wonder if the fifty loops has some kind of connection to the fifty days after the resurrection of Christ when the HOLY GHOST was sent to the very first apostels . The way into the heavinly in Christ . I just wonder if this pattern of the earthly was a forshadowing of the WAY into the most holy . Well, leap up and justpraise the LORD , HE IS our savoir and Blessed be the LORD . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are obvious, but all must have a part to play, a glimpse to give of the Lord Jesus Christ, I just haven't made a study of it, to be sure enough to make comment. The mercy seat being not only overlaid with gold, but made entirely of pure gold is significant. I believe, 'And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.' (Exodus 25:17) Praise God! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been trying to study these lately (whenever I am well enough to do so.) I'm just scratching the surface so far. But I believe this was important to God. So many intricate details that are hard for the mind to wrap around. But I love how they tie in with the New Testament. It brings a deeper and richer meaning for me. As you said, Jesus is the central theme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe @Christine I found this in an article and thought I would share it: A solid slab of pure gold formed the lid on top of the Ark, and it was called the Mercy Seat orkapporeth. It was the cover, or lid placed on the Ark and signified the covering or removal of sins by means of expiatory sacrifice. The Mercy Seat signifies the place of propitiation. It received its name from the blood of propitiation which was sprinkled on it on the Day of Atonement (Lev. 16). It is the place where justice and mercy meet. The blood of the innocent victim on the Mercy Seat met the holy demands of God's Law. *The Old Testament throne of grace was the place where God exhibited His presence, and met man in His grace. So many wonderful scriptures about Jesus being the propitiation. But one scripture that came to mind for me when reading this comment was one I've often thought of in relation to prayer...Hebrews 4:16: *"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." The throne of grace makes me think of the mercy seat. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
