Walk, In Reverse

The number 2 reason that the study of the tabernacle should not be neglected is because each of the aforementioned Levitical offerings represent the Christian walk, in reverse! I mean, the Levitcal offerings in reverse represents the Christian walk. The offerings are provided in order by God representing God's view point. From man's point of view, it is the opposite. Consider the offerings in reverse:

• the trespass offering was for sins known - we first repent of our sins that we know about


• the sin offerings were for unknown sins - as we grow and read the bible, other sins (that we do not realize are sins) are brought to light and need confession.


• the peace offering - 'peace' is the result of the first two


• the meat (or meal) offering was with oil, either mingled, or sprinkled - signifying the indwelling and the filling of the Holy Spirit


• and then there is the voluntary continual burnt offering. -- signifying the voluntary continual surrender and submission to God's will
