    Altar

    When God commanded Moses He specified, "And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.(Ex.20:25)". The stone referred to 'the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands '(Dan.2:45)'referred to Jesus Christ, 'the only begotten Son.' In Ezekiel's vision the altar of the temple also supplies the same idea.

    "The altar hearth is twelve cubits long, twelve wide, square at its four corners (Ez.43:16-NKJV)" The Spirit establishes it in commemoration of the slain Lamb from the foundation of the world. Command numbers 12; and Four signifies Jesus Christ as 'the Saviour of the world'. For the same reason before making the tabernacle in the wilderness God commands Moses, "And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof:(Ex.27:2a)."
