TO GET THE MOST OUT OF
THIS “JOURNEY”
“U” MUST BE SPIRITUALLY
PREPARED
Tabernacle With us “LORD”
Desire, it is a dainty word! It were
much that He should satisfy the need,
the want; but He goeth far beyond
that. Pity is moved to meet our need;
duty may sometimes look after our
wants; but to satisfy the desire implies a tender watchfulness, a sweet
and gracious knowledge of us, an
eagerness of blessing.
God is never satisfied until He
has satisfied our desires.
REMEMBER THIS AND LIVE
I WOULD RATHER LIVE
MY LIFE AS IF THERE IS A
GOD, AND DIE TO FIND
OUT THERE ISN’T; THAN
LIVE MY LIFE AS IF
THERE ISN’T, AND DIE TO
FIND OUT THERE IS………

The Call, The Wear & The Hypocrisy
A. The Appointment of the High Priest
1. Qualities of…Heb. 5:1
“…every high priest taken from among
men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both
gifts and sacrifices for sin”

The Call, The Wear & The Hypocrisy
A. The Appointment of the High Priest
1. Qualities of…
a) The requirement to be called…
Heb. 5:4 “…no man taketh this honour
unto himself, but he that is called of
God, as was Aaron”
2. All of the good characterized in Jesus..
Heb. 8:1 “Now of the things which we
have spoken this is the sum: We have
such an high priest, who is set on the
right hand of the throne of the
Majesty in the heavens”

The Call, The Wear & The Hypocrisy
A. The Appointment of the High Priest
2. All of the good characterized in Jesus..
a) Earthly position already filled…
Heb. 8:4-6 “If He were on earth, He would not be
a priest, for there are already men who offer the gifts prescribed by the law…But
the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is
mediator is superior to the old one, and it
is founded on better promises”
On earth it would have been impossible for Jesus
to be the High Priest because of how God, Himself,
had chosen the man. He, God, chose Aaron and his
sons and the tribe of Levi to hold the earthly
position. By Jesus being from the tribe of Judah on
earth, He could not be High Priest

The Call, The Wear & The Hypocrisy
A. The Appointment of the High Priest
2. All of the good characterized in Jesus..
b) Going in Once vs. Anytime…
Heb. 9:12,24-26 “He did not enter by means of blood of
goats and calves; but He entered the Most Holy
Place once for all by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption…--He entered heaven itself,
now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did He
enter heaven to offer Himself again and again…
But now He has appeared once for all…to do away
with sin by the sacrifice of Himself”
Aaron’s opportunity came only once a year
and it was for the blood of others with
animals, the “Christ” entered not of others or
of animals but a one time shot took care of
everything for all of us and He need not do it
over and over again

sash. They are to make these sacred
garments for your brother Aaron
and his sons, so they may serve Me as
priests”

Ex. 28:31-33 “Make the robe of the ephod
entirely of blue cloth, with an opening
for the head in its center. There shall be
a woven edge like a collar around this
opening, so that it will not tear….”
It was a pullover garment looking like a
man’s “night shirt”
a) That the scriptures might be fulfilled..
Jn. 19:23 “When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they
took His clothes, dividing them into four
shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless,
woven in one piece from top to bottom”

b) Skilled labor to make it lovely..
Ex. 39:3 “They hammered out thin sheet
of gold and cut strands to be
worked into the blue, purple and
scarlet yarn and fine linen—the
work of a skilled craftsman”
Those of the artisan class such as
blacksmiths would beat the gold into
really thin sheets and make thin strips
to be expertly threaded into the
garment

Ex. 28:9-12 “Take two onyx stones and
engrave on them the names of the
sons of Israel in the order of their
birth—….Aaron is to bear the names
on his shoulders as a memorial before the Lord”
The names, in order of birth, of the
Sons of Jacob so that those remaining
will not forget and as a memorial
before God

C. The Apostasy of the High Priest
1. Why separate “Church & State”…
Matt. 21:13 “It is written, He said to them,
‘My house will be called a house of
prayer,’ but you are making it a ‘den of
robbers’”
a) Corruption judging Truth…
Matt. 26:67 “Then they spit in His face
and struck Him with their fist. Others
slapped Him”

What We Did To The High Priest
Heb. 7:23-28 “Now there have been many of those
priests, since death prevented them from continuing
in the office; but because Jesus lives forever,….
Therefore He is able to save completely those who
come to God through Him, because He always lives to
intercede for them….For the law appoints as high
priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came
from the law, appointed the Son, who has been made
perfect forever”
When you look at that 25th verse it says it all for
His purpose. Man’s flesh is weak and will always
remain as such; but Christ, being at the right
hand of the Father, has the strength to handle
all of our cares because He is not mere flesh,
but Spirit now, and will act in accordance to the
dictates of the Spirit.
Thus making Him always available; NO WAITING

WHAT IT SAYS
This is my Bible, I am who my Bible say I am,
I can do what my Bible say I can do. I have
what my Bible say I have, my Bible
teaches my spirit, my spirit teaches my
mind, and my mind teaches my body. My
Bible is full of promises and commandments, my Bible has good and bad examples. How do I know my Bible is true? By
comparing scripture with scripture and
spiritual things with spiritual things. I
study my Bible to show myself approved,
rightly dividing the Word of God.
