Exodus Chapter 25 Discussion Page 2

WOW!!! everybody sure got caught up in the gold, didn't they. Matt. 6:19

Chapter 25:38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.

Chapter 25:24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.

Chapter 25:29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.

Chapter 25:17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

Chapter 25:38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.

Chapter 25:11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.

Chapter 25:36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold.

Chapter 25:39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.

Chapter 25:39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.

Almost perfect. Now if we just could figure out what that pattern is. It almost sounds as if the same pattern fits all of the objects. How could that be? Maybe you beat the soft pure gold into a sheet,, then wrap it around into the desired use shape. For example that lamp stand/reflector. Talk about a misunderstood object. This centerpiece is depicted hundreds of ways, none of which come close .

The Churubs were approved by God to be made and they are symbolic. God did not say the Cherubs should be worshipped. Verse 22 says God will commune with Moses above the Mercy seat between the Cherubs. No excuse to worship curved images

You have a table with golden crown round about and a boarder of a hand- width which also has a crown round about. That's two crowns with a boarder between them. Why?

The word is pure.God residing in us

Glenda, I agree with you that God gave specific instructions on how he wanted the ark of the covenant designed to reflect darkly his throne on earth. Our Lord 's pray "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven ". When he shall bring us to that glorious day in Revelations through his almighty power after all is said and done Jehovah will have delivered us to Rev. 22:1, 2 which says, "then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb v2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations ". God bless us all and in the understanding of his Word. Praise Jehovah in the highest through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen!

Although offerings were apart of the mosaic law, this scripture highlights that they were given freely, and not necessarily out of compulsion. As the bible states God loves a cheerful giver. This encourages me to give freely of my time and self in my service to my God Jehovah.

For god to come to you, you must be ready. my beloved let me ask you a question are you prepared for his coming.

God gave specific instruction for the ark of the covenant. Look at the the cherubs. As for what some may call statues I believe it was God 's way of showing how important and holy his place of worship is and should be

I LOVE IT. If we look at the symbolism of the items mentioned, the uses and placing thereof, the Bible comes alive All Over Again. Offerings given WILLINGLY, giving our Talents that He gave in order to serve in His kindom. Revelations says testimony, which is the testimony of Jesus. Silver is all things, gold paves the streets of New Jerusalen, brass is work of our hands. Colours represent obedience to the law of God, wearing it in fine linen. Goat hair represent people and our original sin , red ram can be The blood of the Lamb that was slain. One Armor of God in spiritual warfare is breastplate of righteousness, to guard our hearts with precious stones. God dwells in our HEARTS, HIS SANCTUARY.Unleavened bread, His unfermented word, food for our souls, to be taken un gold utensils,because it is also precious. Mercy Seat of God,His eyes always looking to FORGIVE US. And HIS SEVEN LIGHT TO SHINE against it lampstand sothat there are NO SHADOWS from it. God 's ways are far above those of the worlds. Glory to Him Forever! AMEN.

God is wonderful

I think that this particular chapter is great because with it we can get a mental picture of what the ark of the covenant looked like. I think its curious that God instructs his followers to build statues after telling them a while earlier not to make statues.

I think exodus is very helpful to me because finding faith is work and work without faith is nothing

would like to find a picture of altar.
