Hey, everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the daily Bible podcast.

3

What's up?

4

It's the fly apocalypse edition I think

we're suffering the plagues that we're

5

reading about here because there's gnats

all over the office Lord only knows why

6

they're here, but we are being judged.

7

I have a suspicion that it's not to

do with the plagues But to do with

8

the plants that are actually in

the office one can't know for sure.

9

That's fair.

10

I mean it's possible that

That the plagues are here.

11

Did you do something that

God told you don't do this or

12

else the plagues are coming.

13

Not to my knowledge.

14

Okay.

15

I have not harbored his people

Unlawfully we've I don't know.

16

This is scary stuff, man.

17

Mark Hogan.

18

Maybe it could have been Mark Hogan.

19

Yeah, who knows?

20

Anyways, it's friday.

21

Happy friday.

22

Everybody.

23

We hope that you're enjoying your End of

the week as you prepare for the weekend.

24

In fact, something that is going out

these days these days is in the last two

25

weeks and we're going to do it again.

26

You'll get it in your inbox today.

27

We're doing it this weekend at

compass prep email that's going out.

28

So that's for those of you that are part

of our local church here in North Texas.

29

And the aim of this email really is

not announcements or anything else.

30

It's really just to help

you prepare for the weekend.

31

And so you're going to get a brief

synopsis, kind of overview of

32

what the sermon is going to be.

33

And then there's a reminder of our link

to our Spotify playlist, which has the

34

worship songs that we're going to be

singing this weekend that are on there

35

and you can download the bulletin as well.

36

So it's a good way for you to get

ready for the worship service on

37

Sunday before before you get there.

38

A lot of times you've probably

heard it said, Sunday morning

39

starts Saturday night.

40

And there's something about preparing

our hearts to, to know what we're going

41

to encounter when we show up at church

on Sunday, rather than showing up

42

and being like, surprise, here's this

passage or what, whatever it may be.

43

Yeah, you should totally

come to church prepared.

44

That would be such a, such a small and

yet meaningfully significant thing to do,

45

because then you come and you're ready.

46

Your mind is ready to get there.

47

Sometimes we get there and we're just.

48

We're just not physically like

physically we're present, but we're not

49

mentally ready or emotionally ready.

50

I mean, there's just so many

pieces that have to fit in place

51

for us to kind of really click in.

52

It'd be such a good thing for you to do.

53

It would be.

54

In fact one of the things that

we're talking about this morning,

55

and so it's too late unless you get

up and listen to this super early.

56

But this morning in our men's

breakfast, we meet over at IHOP is the

57

discipline of church and being engaged

in church and in men leading that.

58

So one of the things that, that They talk

about here that Hughes, our Kent Hughes

59

is the author of the book talks about is

that taking this from the book of Hebrews,

60

the idea that we encounter the angels when

we're at church, which is unique something

61

that we don't often think about, but he

talks about how the angels are present

62

in our singing and he quoted somewhere.

63

I'm looking for it here and

I'm struggling to find it.

64

If you had this on Kindle, you could just.

65

Command F.

66

Boom, I've got it, George Herbert,

the works of George Herbert,

67

everybody's favorite author.

68

Anyways, he has this quote, and he wrote

69

the angels music, therefore come not late.

70

The angels music he's talking about when

we're worshiping God on Sunday mornings,

71

that there's angels present with us.

72

Is that what he said?

73

That's what Herbert said.

74

Say that again.

75

Sundays observe the angels music.

76

Therefore come not late.

77

Sundays observed the angels music.

78

Yeah.

79

So are they singing with us?

80

Is that what he's saying?

81

Yes.

82

And he's talking about that.

83

When we come to the body of

Christ, we come to enumerable

84

angels and festal gathering that

the quote from Hebrews there.

85

And so he goes on to talk about how

angels are present in the, in our

86

midst as we're worshiping, which is

something that is a little different.

87

We don't often think about there

being angels in our midst as

88

we're worshiping the Lord, but.

89

You sound like a charismatic right now.

90

Hey, speaking of You should show up

on sunday and see what we're going

91

to say about some of that Wow, are

you going to open up the floodgates?

92

All I was trying to say was hey show up

on time And show up on time because you

93

don't want to miss what he's about to say.

94

We're going to be a whole different church

Guys, we're joining the assemblies of god.

95

We're just going to tell you now.

96

Hey, you know, that's where I started.

97

I guess that's what i'm finishing

you know the song who is it matthew

98

west he's got the song don't stop

praying You I don't know that song.

99

Okay.

100

I know the gobble gobble song.

101

Yeah.

102

So he wrote a spoof on his song.

103

Don't stop praying.

104

That's don't stop slaying.

105

And it's written at the younger

generation, but we could just use that as

106

don't stop slaying in the spirit as we're

going to go charismatic all of a sudden.

107

All right.

108

Yeah.

109

Anyways, all I was trying to say is,

Hey, be a church and be a church on time.

110

Sometimes we think being a

church on time means showing up

111

by the time the sermon starts.

112

That's not being a church on time.

113

Being a church on time is, is getting

there in time to be able to get,

114

if you've got kids, get your kids

dropped off over in our kids ministry.

115

Getting into the auditorium, grabbing

your cup of coffee, whatever it is,

116

sitting down and being ready to go.

117

When our service starts,

that's, that's important.

118

We need you there.

119

And it's not just important because

pastor Rod doesn't want to play

120

guitar and sing to an empty room.

121

He doesn't, but it's, it's more than that.

122

It's.

123

The corporate gathering is important.

124

It's just that it's the corporate

gathering and you have a place in that.

125

And when the room is, is full and

when people are there, when people are

126

singing together, like you probably

notice a difference in the way it feels

127

in the room from the first song, when

people are still kind of trickling

128

into the song right before the sermon,

when everybody's there and they've had

129

a moment to kind of engage and focus.

130

When people are singing it makes a huge

difference and I'll even add to this I

131

was just talking to some of our true north

student ministry leaders a couple days ago

132

now when this airs that it matters even

where you sit that we like having people

133

closer because we can see you and we can

gauge better how you're reacting to what

134

we're saying and You know, there was a

time when the first two or three or six

135

rows of our setup were basically empty.

136

Yep.

137

That's hard.

138

That's really hard to do.

139

So, I mean, not only showing up on

time, but even where you sit, where

140

you posture yourself is also going

to be something helpful as well.

141

So I would keep those in mind as you

prepare to show up to church to Sunday.

142

Yeah.

143

And my wife was super lonely because she

would sit up in the front row by herself.

144

But some other people have

joined up front, so that's good.

145

And we appreciate that.

146

Yeah, we do.

147

Hey, let's jump into our reading today.

148

Exodus 27 25 God here gives

Moses instructions regarding

149

the tabernacle and its contents.

150

First section here in chapter 25

gives instructions on receiving

151

offerings from the people for the

construction of the tabernacle.

152

Second section then deals with

the Ark of the covenant, what it

153

was to look like, what it was for.

154

And then the third section

really dives into the table

155

for the bread of the presence.

156

And then the final last

part there deals with.

157

The lamp stand that was going

to illuminate the tabernacle.

158

So a lot of of measurements, a lot of

details here, but a couple of points

159

to to note here, X is 25 to, this

was a free will offering in the sense

160

that whoever's heart was to move them.

161

That was the one that should bring

the contributions for the tabernacle.

162

So this was not laid upon the entire

nation as you have to bring these things.

163

This is.

164

Those who desire to contribute

to what we're doing here,

165

bring it, bring it forward.

166

And that's, that's different.

167

And I think it's, it's worth note here.

168

That's different than what

we do on Sunday mornings.

169

Sunday mornings, what we do is, is not

a free will offering as much as it is

170

obedience to what God commands us to do

as, as believers, followers of Christ.

171

We are called to give.

172

And so we do that.

173

And we do that because it's, it's

part of the way that God has laid

174

out the parameters for worship.

175

This is unique.

176

This would be akin to, you know, you

know, If we were at some point in time

177

to do a building campaign and we would

say, Hey, we want you to continue to

178

give like you normally do on Sunday

mornings as part of your worship.

179

But then we're going to do a building

campaign because God has secured

180

this land for us or whatever.

181

And so as, as your heart moves

you, we would love for you to

182

give above and beyond your normal

giving to be able to support this.

183

But that's not something that God

is going to lay on every single

184

person and say, you have to give

towards the building campaign.

185

Would you say then that second

Corinthians eight, seven applies to this?

186

To the Christian that is each one must

give as he has decided in his heart,

187

not reluctantly or under compulsion

for God loves a cheerful giver.

188

Therefore, if I do not feel cheerful in

my giving, I should not do it because

189

God loves a cheerful giver and I'm

not supposed to give under compulsion.

190

So you're telling me I'm supposed to give

you just told me this is not the same

191

thing that I'm reading in chapter 25 here.

192

This is a free will offering.

193

So should Christians give

when they don't want to?

194

Yes.

195

Yeah, and that's I think you

said second Corinthians eight,

196

seven, I think it's nine, seven.

197

That's what I said, nine, seven.

198

You just, you just heard eight.

199

I was looking forward and

you heard eight, seven.

200

That's not what I said.

201

Yeah.

202

So this is talking about an offering

that they were taking out for the

203

support of the other churches.

204

This is not talking about the same

thing that's, that's taken place.

205

And again, on a weekly basis on

Sunday mornings, when we give to

206

what the Lord is doing in the church.

207

And so here this is, yeah, this is, Hey,

if, if, if we've got a building project

208

building campaign, something like that.

209

You know, we want your motives

to be right in your giving.

210

And that's what I think

Paul's really driving at here.

211

We don't want you giving so that you'll

be noticed by someone else or giving

212

so that the pastors will glad hand

you or giving so that this, that, or

213

the other thing will, will take place.

214

But our weekly worship, just like when you

show up, it's, we don't show up at church

215

and go, well, my heart's not really in it.

216

And I don't feel like it.

217

So I'm not going to listen

to the sermon today.

218

I'm not going to listen.

219

I'm not going to sing the songs today.

220

I'm not going to, it's

part of our worship.

221

It's part of what we do.

222

There are times where we have to examine

our hearts and figure out what's going on.

223

But it's always going to be

better for you to show up at

224

church than not show up at church.

225

Even if your heart's not in it, it's

better for you to be with God's people

226

and in the way of him working on your

heart than to not show up at all.

227

And I would say the same thing when

it comes to the obedience of the

228

act of giving is better to give

than to not give because again,

229

an expression of our worship.

230

I agree with that.

231

Well, from there he

goes into the, the arc.

232

So this arc is, is basically a

rectangular box about four feet

233

long, two feet deep, two feet tall.

234

It's set aside and set apart.

235

And this is going to be a

common theme with a lot in the

236

tabernacle as holy or consecrated,

which is what that word means.

237

Set apart, made holy.

238

It was not to be touched or

carried where it's going to be,

239

you know, Transported by poles.

240

And that's going to factor in much

later on with King David and Uzziah

241

and a bunch of other things as well.

242

On top of the ark, you

have the mercy seat.

243

That's the place where God's

God's presence would show up.

244

The glory of God would

meet with the priest.

245

They're at the mercy seat between

the wings of these churban, these

246

angels that are also going to be

adorning the top of the ark as well.

247

So the ark is made here and

the ark is going to reside

248

there in the in the tabernacle.

249

The, the bread table in

verses 23 through 30.

250

This table just there to hold the

bread was impressive in and itself.

251

In fact, so much so.

252

It was taken by Anta as the fourth

in the Romans in 70 AD when, when

253

Anta is conquers Rome in 70 Ad they,

they spare this table because of

254

how ornate and beautiful it was.

255

And the show bread that's placed

on top was an offering, but also

256

would be eaten by the, the priests

throughout the the week there.

257

The Menorah then, or the lamp

stand versus 31 through 40

258

provided light for the tabernacle.

259

So chapter 25, kind of giving

these instructions for the, some of

260

the components in the tabernacle.

261

I haven't seen any recommendations

on my timeline for this.

262

That is Facebook or something like

that, where, what we experienced in

263

Aliso Viejo, well actually it wasn't

Aliso Viejo, it was in San Diego.

264

We had the tabernacle experience where

they set up a life size tabernacle and

265

they put the furniture together in there.

266

That was obviously not exact,

but an approximation of what

267

they think it looked like.

268

If you ever have a chance

to do that, that is so cool.

269

So helpful because you get

the size, the scope of it, and

270

there's a walking audio tour.

271

So you wear some headphones and

they take you through each of

272

the furniture in the tabernacle.

273

They take a little, a little bit of

Liberty with how they describe some of

274

the furniture and what they represented.

275

For instance, we're not talking about.

276

What the table of the bread really

symbolized probably some kind

277

of communion with the 12 tribes.

278

There was 12 pieces of bread there.

279

So that's what we assume

is taking place there.

280

Now, but it's really cool.

281

If you ever have the chance to do

something like that, the tabernacle

282

experience, I think is what it was called.

283

If it's ever in the area,

you should totally go.

284

So it appears as I'm

Googling about that, that it.

285

It's permanent location is in Utah.

286

Oh, they've got it set up in Utah.

287

Let's take a trip to Utah It's probably

the Mormons that might be behind it.

288

That would be interesting I don't think

they were because when they were walking

289

us through the audio to one that yeah

They never once quoted the Book of Mormon.

290

Okay, and they never they're not

wearing name tags like the Mormons

291

They have a very distinct branding.

292

So I don't think it's those guys.

293

Okay Well, there's one in Utah at least

so maybe it was on a traveling Yeah.

294

Traveling schedule.

295

Wow.

296

I was mad about that.

297

Huh?

298

That doesn't look like the same

website I went to, but if, yeah,

299

if anything like it comes nearby,

you should go, you should go.

300

I don't, it was like a, I don't know,

took my son's, it was probably, I don't

301

know, maybe under a hundred bucks.

302

Yeah.

303

It was worth it.

304

Yeah.

305

Helps the Bible come alive.

306

It does.

307

Chapter 26.

308

Then we get in this chapter instructions

for the constructions of the tabernacle.

309

And so it includes instructions

regarding materials, dimensions, layout.

310

It also includes directions for the veil,

which would separate the Holy place from

311

the most Holy place where the arc that

we just talked about would be placed.

312

And so a lot of times you think

the temple and the Holy of Holies.

313

Well, that Existed in

the tabernacle as well.

314

The veil was there in

the tabernacle as well.

315

And the veil, anytime you read about

the veil, it should throw our minds all

316

the way forward to the new Testament

and the cross when Jesus dies in the

317

veil, that's in the temple at the time.

318

tears from top to bottom as a symbol

of God opening up the access between

319

humanity and him through Christ.

320

Because as the writer of Hebrew says,

he is our faithful high priest who

321

holds his priesthood permanently.

322

And therefore he's able to save us

to the uttermost since he always

323

lives to make intercession for us.

324

So the veil, all of these things, as we

get in here, we're going to get into more

325

of it, even in Leviticus, Deuteronomy,

when you feel Man, this just seems

326

to be separating me so far from God.

327

As I read all of these rules and

restrictions and regulations, let it make

328

you that more grateful for the cross and

for the access to him that you have today.

329

And then ask yourself, am

I taking advantage of that?

330

If, if somebody like the, these

Israelites during this time period,

331

if they had the same access to God,

the same freedom to pray, the same

332

freedom to worship in the same freedom

to, to have his word in their hands.

333

What would they do?

334

How would they're there?

335

They interact with those things.

336

I'm often convicted by that.

337

Just the weight of the privilege that we

have in where we are in even just history

338

right now and how good it is for us to be

able to have access to the word of God.

339

Yeah, you probably would do well to

read through some of these chapters more

340

slowly than you would otherwise want to.

341

I understand that as you

read some of these things,

342

you're like, what is a cubit?

343

How long is that?

344

Why are we reading all these construction

instructions, construction instructions?

345

Say that 10 times fast.

346

It's hard.

347

It's hard.

348

It's hard.

349

It's hard on the reader.

350

It's hard unless you have an

insight into what's happening here.

351

And I think one of the things that

you have to constantly feel is that

352

God is setting up obstacles between

the common person and the holy person.

353

Yeah.

354

There's a, there's a series of things

that have to take place between someone

355

who wants to meet with God and the

person who actually does meet with God.

356

In this case, the high priest

and him only once a year.

357

So all these things are interesting.

358

In fact, one of the things I'll

point your attention to is in verse

359

one of chapter 26, you have the

cherubim skillfully worked into

360

these tabernacle tent curtains, the

cherubim you first get introduced to

361

in Genesis chapter three, you might

recall that God establishes these.

362

centuries To guard to guard

people in the garden of eden from

363

getting back to the tree of life.

364

This was his mercy So the cherubim

first appear in genesis chapter 3

365

where they're guarding the tree of

life and here they are again In exodus

366

chapter 26 where they're guarding

God's unmitigated holy presence and so

367

you see a theme The theme develop and

emerge with the cherubim and you'll

368

see that all throughout the scripture.

369

So pay close attention

to things like that.

370

The cherubim, there are a class

of angels and we don't know all

371

about these guys, but what we do

know about them is that they play a

372

very special role in God's economy.

373

I think this is what Paul has in

mind when he talks about the rulers,

374

principalities and powers in the same

way that there are classes of demons.

375

Not all of which that we have names for we

don't know all their all their different

376

classes and all our different rankings But

we do know they're organized in a similar

377

way God has organizational structures in

the angelic realm and the cherubim are one

378

of them You're going to also read about

the seraphim later on isaiah chapter 6.

379

There's different classes This is

an interesting conversation, but it

380

seems like there's different classes

that have different jobs within god's

381

economy So pay attention to those

Clues, dig deep in a few of these

382

things, if you, if you so wish, and

let the spirit teach you a couple of

383

things about some of these chapters

that you might be tempted to look past.

384

By the way, if you have the ESV study

Bible and you have it digitally even

385

better, but even if you don't have a

digitally, if you go to Exodus 26, one

386

in your ESV study Bible there will be a

great graphic diagram of the tabernacle.

387

And so you can take a look at that

and kind of see the artist rendition

388

rendering of what it looked like in it.

389

Cause it's hard to picture these things.

390

It is not only the distances, but okay.

391

But what was the shape and what was

covering what and everything else?

392

And there's like a cutaway of it.

393

That's just super helpful.

394

So X is 26 one.

395

If you go there in the ESV study

Bible, you can get to that diagram.

396

, chapter 27, then we get to the

construction of the bronze altar.

397

The bronze altar is, this is where the

burnt offerings are gonna be offered.

398

This is where we have the, the the,

the aroma that would go up to the Lord,

399

that the Lord would find soothing.

400

This is where all of the, the good smells

would've come from as these animals are

401

being offered on a regular basis there.

402

The sin offerings, the offerings of

atonement, the, the burnt offerings, all

403

these taking place on this bronze altar.

404

So here's the instruction

for this, by the way.

405

This was.

406

This was not small.

407

And that's why it's outside

of the actual tent itself.

408

Because this is a large edifice.

409

In fact, when we were in Israel,

we got to see a, just a rough

410

outline of the frame of it.

411

It's big.

412

You had to, to get up to

it, you would have to walk

413

upstairs to get to this altar.

414

It's not like it's waist high.

415

It's not like your kitchen Island.

416

This thing is, is massive.

417

And it was was on that, that they would

offer the burnt offerings as well.

418

It says here it's hollow.

419

Yeah.

420

Does, is there any, so, okay, I

guess here's a, here's a question

421

generally speaking about chapters

like this, how much significance do

422

we put into this symbolism of it all?

423

For instance, it's, it's hollow.

424

God goes out of his way to describe

to Moses that it's a hollow altar.

425

Earlier on in the book of Exodus,

he talks about building an altar of

426

earth for him so that it's not, that

it's not, Tainted by their human hands

427

Should we look into stuff like this

should we begin to make connections?

428

That maybe the bible doesn't

explicitly make for us.

429

You sent me one recently about

the book of esther, right?

430

How much effort do we put

into those connections?

431

And how do we know that

we're off course when we are?

432

Yeah, I think we need to Be careful

not to press things that your

433

safest places when the New Testament

makes the connection for you.

434

When the New Testament looks

back at the Old Testament and

435

says, Hey, here's the connection.

436

There's more than that, but

that's where we're on the most

437

solid ground regarding the altar.

438

I think it's hollow because this

was meant to be a mobile edifice.

439

So if you take a bronze altar and

you don't make that thing hollow.

440

That nobody's going to be able to lift

that up unless everybody Samson with

441

the strength of, of the, the massive,

you know, muscles and everything

442

else like that, to be able to move

it, this had to be hollow in order

443

for it to be transported with the

Israelites as they, they went along.

444

And so I think for the purposes at hand,

that's why this bronze altar is hollow.

445

Totally.

446

I think there's a bit of art and science

described here where God gives them

447

instructions, specificity about what he's

looking for, but there seems to be a great

448

deal of freedom in how they designed it,

even though there's specific instructions.

449

Yeah.

450

Yeah.

451

In the playground in the sandbox,

God gives him a lot of freedom

452

to artistically design it, which

is where a holy ab and bezel.

453

I'll come into play.

454

Who will come into play soon.

455

And by the way just in case you're

not prepared to see this and just a

456

few chapters, basically everything

you're reading here is going to be

457

restated because they're going to

do exactly what he tells them to do.

458

So you're not going to be.

459

You're not experiencing deja vu.

460

It's there on purpose.

461

Yep.

462

Yep.

463

Yeah.

464

The, the illusion that you were talking

to, no pun intended was pointed out by

465

a guy that I follow on, on social media.

466

It doesn't matter who.

467

He's, he's a brilliant mind

and a great theologian, but

468

he, he, I think goes too far.

469

And here's the example.

470

He's, he went back to Esther, and when

it talks about Haman and the i, the

471

idea of the, the shout to hang him

regarding Haman and, and, and then he.

472

It makes the point that in the

Septuagint, the word for hang

473

there is comes from the Greek word.

474

That is the word for crucify.

475

So in the new Testament, when you get

people shouting out at Jesus, crucify

476

him, that there's an illusion somehow

there in Esther to that as an event

477

that is going to be a fulfillment of

this shouted at Haman to say, hang him.

478

And the point he made is, is Haman

was ironically hung on gallows that he

479

prepared himself or that he made himself.

480

And in the same way, Christ

would be crucified on a gallows.

481

On a cross that he was as the

creator of all things instrumental in

482

making the tree itself that produced

the wood that produced the cross.

483

And so there's a parallel there,

but pointed to Jesus as the greater

484

reality because Jesus was sinless.

485

Whereas Haman was guilty for that,

that reading with that level.

486

That's why people get paralyzed

when they come to the Bible and

487

they go, well, I, there's no

way I would have ever seen that.

488

So why bother even trying that?

489

Right.

490

Right.

491

That's going too far.

492

I think that's, that's trying too

hard to find something with one

493

word in a translation of the Hebrew,

not even in the original itself.

494

And to make it a

connection point like that.

495

So I think when you look at something

like this, I think that the Occam's

496

razor, the simplest interpretation

is usually the best interpretation.

497

I think we look at this and give

it their mobile and they've got

498

to be able to carry this thing.

499

And otherwise it'd be

massively heavy and unbearable.

500

Rest of 27.

501

Then we find the command for the, the

court of the tabernacle and then the final

502

command that the people were to bring all

of oil to provide fuel for the lamb stand.

503

And so again, that the people are to

participate in this, this is ownership

504

that God wants his people to have.

505

And so the court of the tabernacle is

going to be set up around the, the,

506

the holy building in the middle there.

507

And all of this again is,

is meant to be mobile.

508

And so they're, they're going to be

carrying this and, and taking it with them

509

throughout the, the wilderness wanderings.

510

Let me pray and then we'll

be done with this edition.

511

God, thanks for your word.

512

Thanks for its simplicity in so many ways.

513

We when we do bump up against things we

can't understand, which does happen and

514

it happens even often, especially in

this portion of the old Testament, it's

515

hard sometimes for us to understand this.

516

Give us Perseverance and endurance.

517

I pray for our people as we are doing

this Bible reading plan that nobody would

518

tap out, that nobody would grow weary

of reading through these instructions

519

and that they would even say, okay,

God, why do you have these here?

520

What are you trying to show

us here with the detail and

521

everything else that you have?

522

And so help us to have mind sharp enough

to be able to grasp some of these contexts

523

or, or even to go to our resources that

we have, whether it's a study Bible or to

524

write in a question Lord help us to, to

dig and not grow weary and just give up.

525

Because we want to continually be growing

and through your spirit, as we even talked

526

about last weekend, you will help us

and enable us to understand more things.

527

And so God, we pray that you

would do that in Christ's name.

528

Amen.

529

Amen.

530
