Exodus 40: a new find from Ex.30:12

Ex.30:12-16  it will be easier to explain these verses. 

First God told Moses to set up a collection  of 1/2 a shekel coin from all Israel people 20 years and older.
This was a mandatory offering.  The coin as stated in 30:16  was called atonement money.  It was a atonement for their souls.  After every census, battle victory, and other major things God would do, they would give this coin.  To help you see what atonement means---it is the same as Jesus making atonement of his blood on the cross.  This was the payment for our sins, his life and blood.

In my post on 40: chapter in Exodus, When you read it you will see that the furniture of the tabernacle  is a shadow of Christ. it is even laid out just as God told Moses to do.  The new find there was how the lifting up of the tabernacle was the raising of Jesus by a shadow and type.  it says twice  it was raised up.  Also the cloud which was where Jesus was dwelling as the pre-incarnate  was there also.  40:33  another way to read this is ---it is finished. 

Before the tabernacle was built , the coin of ch.30  was collected.  This atonement offering was used in the service of the Tabernacle. it was the foundation for the building of it.  The atonement of Jesus is the very beginning and foundation of  the offering up of  himself on the cross.  In Jn.ch. 2:19-21  we see that Jesus  makes statement of raising the temple.  He was saying his body will be raised.  If you read this in John 2:  you will see that there is a lot of figurative statements and shadow and types in the bible. This is all based on the great wisdom of God.

Ps. 22:1 combined with Ps. 146

Ps. 146:7-9  is also Messianic.   it shows that Jesus is not one who God would really forsake.  It says there that the Lord loves righteousness.  Lk.4: Jesus reads the scriptures and then says this day this is fulfilled.

Ps.146:6  who is the creator?    Col.1:17
v.7-9  of 146:  shows he heals the blind and raises up the bowed down.  see  Lk.13:11 and Mk. 8:22.

This is God who does righteousness.  He couldn't be a born again sinner. That is what many T.V. Evangelists say----that he had to be born again and saved.

Jesus was quoting Ps.22  on the cross to point back and show that this was him who David was talking about.  David was the one who was asking God why has thou forsaken me. Then the Spirit shows  by his mouth one who will come to deliver man from agony of life.  David created a picture that turned into a Messianic revelation of Christ.  Do you see it?? David is the one in pain there.

That is why also it says when he cried unto him he heard. Ps.22:24  proves this.  Jesus was suffering but he could never lack faith in his father. He was in agreement with a father who he was really one as God with.
Jesus as man expressed what we as humans would suffer but instead he took our place.  Jesus blood atonement on the cross removed our sins.  only a righteous  Jesus could save us.

Ps. 22: Messianic and the cross

In Psalm 22:  the picture David gives here is very clear.  It is actually without hidden things, but full clear.  Some people get saved by hearing Messianic prophesy.

Jesus when on the cross was still in understanding that he was God.  He was full of wisdom and no one was able to question that.  He quotes scripture on the cross to point to the prophesy.  David was a prophet and  so he is telling that which Jesus is saying here is what the Psalm meant.

To say God forsook me by Jesus is utter nonsense.
He is putting out a picture of the cry of mankind.  For in ch.22  it says God heard him. He is the one who heard the father at his baptism,  this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.

22:2  shows us it is David crying in the day time. It is through the cry of a person many times that the Holy Spirit will inter mingle his words that are prophetic. After you read the chap.22;  see the last v.31.
he hath done this is another way of saying, it is finished.

Matt. 16:4 w/ Jonah ch.1:--4:. The sign of Jonah and the cross.

Jonah  is thrown into the sea.  He had been sent to preach repentance.  God prepared a great fish to swallow him.  He was a sign to Israel.  He was in the sea for 3 days as one who was dead.  He was resurrected and thrown alive on shore.  This salvation was then brought to Nineveh and they were saved from their sins.  He was a sign picture of Jesus death, burial, and resurrection.

Jesus in Matt. 16:4  says himself that this was a sign.  Other types and shadows were not signs but fore shadow him. At other times it was Messianic prophesies.  They are amazing to.

Since it has been awhile , I believe it will be good to add another picture.

In Num. 21:  6-9  w/  Jn. 3:14  it is brought out that even as the serpent was raised up on a brass pole in the wilderness, Jesus would be raised up on a cross.    Many read Jn. 3:16  without seeing v.14.   God bless.

Ex. 40: seeing the cross and Christ's redemption.

All of the furniture in the Tabernacle when seen from a looking down view was in the shape of a cross. All that furniture was a picture of Christ.  Many agree with this.  They were called shadows.  Many N.T. scriptures confirm this.  for example,  the laver they would wash with, was also being washed by the water of the word.  The shew bread was Jesus body.  The seven lamps was the Holy Spirit. etc.

The tabernacle was of skins which would picture a body.  Notice the Tabernacle which is a temple, is lifted up.  often in 40 you see that raising up.  The veil pictured Christ's body.  Jesus said he would raise the temple up in 3 days, he was saying his body. Matt. 26:61,  27:40.   In 1Cor. 6: 19  we are called temples.

All of these things are spiritual.  As a shadow we see the cross and work of Jesus.

Edit----   Wanted to add this to the chapter because it gives more evidence to what I have written.  In verse 33 of ch.40.  The word is different but can be seen.  Moses finished the word, another way of saying it,  is
it is finished.  The furniture  fits the picture of Jesus and it is a order in the room as the cross.  The holy of holy is where he will enter. the veil  Heb. 10:20  the veil of his flesh.  The Tabernacle raised up--the cross
and it is finished.  Hope you see this.

Jesus as savior book by book in bible.----Genesis

In Gen. 22:   We have a picture that is very clear.  Proper way of saying it--Yahway Yireh.  Abraham called the place  where he offered up his only son .  Let's  review what was said there.  it is said to this day---in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.  That is a prophetical statement of the future.  it is in Jn. 8:56  Jesus tells them Abraham saw my day.  there it is  it shall be seen, in the mount of the Lord.  Mt. Moriah.  it isn't talking about supplying needs but of supplying Jesus as Lord.  The ram in a thicket was for the offering for the place of a future Lamb, Jesus.  Of course to have Jesus is to have all your needs supplied.

It is amazing to see this very old prophesy and no way could Abraham know other than God told him.  Moriah  which we know is where the cross was on that mt. region.  Calvary hill is the part of it.  it is interesting to note  Gen. 3:15.  there the bruise the head is fatal to a serpent. that is where the poison is  we see (poison of sin).  Another name for Calvary is Golgotha, the hill of the skull.  That is the head.  According to findings of Ron Wyatt, the sword that cut off Goliath's head is underground beneath where the cross stood.  Jesus is the seed of the woman that crushed the serpent's head----get it?.  next time Exodus, God bless.

please read for blog is not missing

I am sorry I had to cause the you tube videos, to go private.  I was charged with illegal charges for my song
and punished with restrictions, so the gospel song i was charged with for malicious activity was a song about lifting Jesus higher in praise.  If you look down to the right in the archives you will see the wonderful study on Exodus.   Please ignore someones writing saying  there is nothing on the blogger page. it is designed to persecute and hide the good biblical content--I didn't put it there.  God bless and keep serving while you can.
