Jesus unveiled – Secrets from Moses’ 40 days
The Law was given by Moses, truth came by Jesus Christ.
The Law was given. Grace and truth came.
When you come personally, it is very warm.
It is something God did when He came in flesh.
Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God.
It takes the Son to unfold the nature and the heart of God.
Today we are not under law, we are under grace.
There is a contrast, and a comparison.
Our Lord Jesus went up, sure to make atonement for us.
Jesus is 100% God and 100% Man
Moses went up to spend 40 days with God twice.
Jesus, the first 40 days is been tested by the devil in the wilderness
Jesus came out of 40 days with the power to bless.
We have 2 40 days for Moses and 2 40 days for Jesus.
Every numbers have a meaning.
There are great truth and wonderful revelations in names and numbers.
40 is the number of trials, probation.
Jesus was not tested or tempted to sin.
He was tested but not tempted.
He did not feel any stirring.
He was born of a virgin and did not have any sin principle in Him.
Not that He would not sin, He cannot sin.
The 40 days was to proof He is beyond fault
You need to know your spouse’s heart to communicate.
Does God judge or discipline? Yes. But He does not punish His children.
The world is interested in creation.
One chapter recorded the entire universe.
Redemption took God 7 chapters.
The 7 chapters are first 40 days and 40 nights
Deuteronomy 9:8-12
Also in Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry enough with you to have destroyed you. When I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water. Then the Lord delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
“Then the Lord said to me, Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molded image.’
God was never angry with them. This is the period of pure grace.
God remembered His covenant with them.
It is not dependent on their goodness but on His goodness.
God knew what was in man’s hearts. Men don’t know what was in God’s heart.
The Law work out the wrath of God.
By beholding Him we will be transformed
How can the shadow ever complete with the substance?
New and living way – draw closer to God.
The more we draw close to God, is new and living way.
God gave them the 10 commandments when they said all that God says, they will do it. They “signed the contract” without knowing what the “contract” is about.
The law was designed to stir up your flesh.
By the law is the knowledge of sin.
We are coming by the blood of God’s eternal Son.
The blood of Jesus so satisfied God’s holiness and fully met all the claims of divine’s righteousness.
Under grace you are a son and there is intimacy with the Father.
They sat and ate with God.
Deuteronomy 9:8-12
Also in Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry enough with you to have destroyed you. When I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water. Then the Lord delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. And it came to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.
“Then the Lord said to me, Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made themselves a molded image.’
In the presence of God, nothing decays and dries.
In the presence of Jesus there is no death.
Those who are blind began to see.
Draw near to God.
Draw near boldly, you are honouring the blood of Jesus.
Deuteronomy 9:15-18
“So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire; and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands. And I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord your God—had made for yourselves a molded calf! You had turned aside quickly from the way which the Lord had commanded you. Then I took the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes. And I fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you committed in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.
Moses broke the first set of the 10 commandments.
God was not angry. God approved of it.
The tribe of Levi.
First Pentecost is about what men ought to.
The new Pentecost is about the work of God not the work of men.
Only He can keep it. When you accept Him, He gives you an A plus when it comes to law keeping even though you are not perfect.
Exodus 24:17
The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
Exodus 25:8
And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
God’s heart is full of His Son. Our Lord Jesus.
Speak to the children of Israel.
Do not take offerings from people who are not willing.
God does not want offerings that are giving in.
On the night of passover there was a transfer of wealth. For the Egyptians bad news, for God’s people good news!
God will prosper you for a purpose. Build His tabernacle
Blue is the heavenly Man.
When He spoke word that is so heavenly, it is more than inspiration.
Purple the color of kings of gentiles. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
It is the glory of God to conceal and glory of kings and priests to search it out
Scarlet rode.
Scarlet is the colour of the Jewish king
Adam means red. Heaven and earth met.
What do you see? Purple.
Fine linen.
Covering of tabernacle
You cannot out give God. Give your time you get more time. Lose your life for Jesus’s sake, you gain it.
Whoever saves his life will lose it.
His body is incorruptible.
Oil for the light. The Holy Spirit.
Precious stones put in the breastplate.
God wants a house where He can dwell with them.
The heavens of heaven that we may dwell among them.
God was speaking to Moses in the burning bush.
Burn but not burnt out.
My Spirit is unlimited. He is still dwelling with us
Ephesians 2:22
in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
Exodus 25:10-11
The Ark of the Testimony
(Ex. 37:1–9)
“And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make on it a molding of gold all around.
Pure gold is a type of deity
He is 100% deity
Tabernacle – cherubim -> strong living creatures
A cherubim was placed at the garden. They are the guardians of God’s holiness.
Exodus 25:20-22
And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat. You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you. And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.
Blood means there have been a death.
Once our Lord Jesus shed His blood for us, we cannot be judged
Stay in the presence. The blood is there.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace.
God talks in terms of figures, types and shadows.
The streets smart person got a lot of knowledge but the child of God has wisdom.
With all your smartness you cannot be at the right place at the right time. A child of God can. God looks for teachableness.
God loves to talk about His Son and His works and the different types.
When Jesus died He was buried in a tomb that was never used.
From virgin womb to virgin tomb.
John 20:11-12
Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord
But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
You are blessed because you see what God meant.
Exodus 25:20-22
And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat. You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you. And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.
Table of showbread
Put crown there.
In the holy place there are 3 furnitures.
12 loaves prepared.
Jesus loves to bless! That is His food!
You just got a glimpse of God’s heart.
Heaven is full of resources unclaimed.
Exodus 25:24
And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make a molding of gold all around.
You salvation is eternal. The lamp stands are beaten into shape from gold.
He was beaten so that the church can come forth.
7 lamp stands are the 7 churches. You are the branches, I am the Vine.
Whatever credits, praises people bring to us, it is the Lord.
He alone deserve all glory. All praise is due. It is all about Jesus and bring glory to His name.
To You Jesus be all the glory and the praise.
The function of church, 2 of them have no rebukes. The primary function of lamp stands is to bring glory to Jesus.
Alter of incense was mentioned later in chapter 30. Without the high priest, there is no intercession
He is our burnt offerings. He is the Son of God. He is also deity. He took our sins and absorbed God’s fire. He remained.
In the old, God’s judgement is greater than the sacrifice.
What Jesus did was accepted.
In the new, the sacrifice (Jesus) is greater than the judgement.
Psalms 26:6
I will wash mine hands in innocency:
so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
We start with the cross. God starts from the inside of the holy of holy.
Jesus absorbed all our judgement. There is no more judgement above our heads.
if you approach east, the north fire is burning.
From the north this is where the burnt offerings is killed.
Leviticus 1:11
And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
It all began with the death of Christ.
Burnt lamb -> the cross.
We are saved because of the death of Christ.
The enemy always come from north.
Evil comes from the north.
God put His Son death right where the evil comes from.
Everything began with the cross.
If you are having challenges, begin at the cross. Look a the cross. Before man sin there was no sickness.
Surely He has borne our sicknesses and our pain.
Every need in life is supplied in the cross.
Even people who criticised you.
What is the truth of the east side?
The place of ashes.
Leviticus 1:16
And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
Eastern gate—> the truth of the place of ashes
The final form is ashes when fire burn something. It means finished! All the sins in our lives become ashes!
The sun rises and the first thing the light hit is on the ashes. God accepts His sacrifice.
Psalms 20:3-4
May He remember all your offerings,
And accept your burnt sacrifice.
Selah
May He grant you according to your heart’s desire,
And fulfill all your purpose.
Whenever you come to God, remember ashes! Finished work!
The word ashes means
Anointing for fatness – in the finished work is the anointing.
In the ashes is the fatness.
Ezekiel 47:1
The Healing Waters and Trees
Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar.
You cannot jump from the cross to follow the spirit.
Not a child will cry nor a baby will stir when Jesus passed by.
When you are sin consciousness you project that into other people.
What is on the west side?
The temple, the tabernacle
Not one sin God has not forgiven you of.
You need the house of God and the presence of God.
Don’t neglect the house of God.
You are alone you are more attacked and you do stupid things
Where 2 and 3 gathered among them, Jesus is there among them.
Jesus believes in the local church.
We are all united but there is diversity.
Never condemn diversity
Psalms 26:6
I will wash mine hands in innocency:
so will I compass thine altar, O Lord:
