His name is Holy

Leviticus 24:10-16

• A continual burning of the lamp for light 24:1-4

• Dark in the tabernacle, no windows

• The lamp or candlestick 24:4 maybe represents the Word of God that gives us light, to pray, to live

• The candlestick may represent the nation of Israel who was responsible to be a light and carry the light of Jesus-the light of the world

• It is interesting how important the things that happened in the tabernacle out of sight were-it wasn’t what the people saw that mattered but what God saw

• The twelve cakes 24:5-9

• Apparently representing the 12 tribes so that the priest never got to isolated from the people-a reminder of them

• Interesting that bread is so common and yet God put it in the tabernacle-there is not common or holy for the born again Christian-it is all holy
