God gave the regulation to Moses, then instituted sacrifices. They have been provided first in the transportable Tabernacle the place God’s Spirit dwelt and now David desires to construct God a everlasting residence the place sacrifices may be provided perpetually. This place is finally the place our endlessly sacrifice gave His life for all of us. Then, there was now not a necessity for animal sacrifices or a Temple as a result of His Spirit lives in each believer. By means of our religion within the Excellent Lamb, we current ourselves now as a residing sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. (Romans 12:1)
A New Place for God to Dwell – 1 Chronicles 21:28-22:1
After the Israelite’s exodus from Egypt, God gave Moses the plans for the Tabernacle and its furnishings, together with the legal guidelines for the individuals, the clergymen, and the sacrifices (Exodus 19-31). The Tabernacle was a conveyable tent that had two rooms (Exodus 36) and an outer courtyard. Within the courtyard was the altar for making sacrifices and the bronze basin for laundry (Exodus 38:1-20). The primary room of the Tabernacle held the desk for the showbread, the lampstand for the lamps, and the altar of incense. Then, behind the veil, within the second room, was the ark of the covenant that the Presence of God hovered over (Exodus 37).
So, this was the place God dwelt with the individuals – His residence on earth. However this wasn’t a everlasting home, however quite an elaborate tent that traveled with the Israelites from Mount Sanai all the way in which to Israel. As soon as in Israel, it rested first in Shiloh (Joshua 18:1). Then, someday after the Philistines captured the ark it was moved to Nob (1 Samuel 21-22), and someday after Saul murdered the clergymen there, it was moved to Gibeon (v. 29). The ark of the covenant was taken from its residence in Shiloh, right into a battle with the Philistines who captured it (1 Samuel 4). Even after they returned it, the ark by no means went again to its rightful place contained in the Tabernacle (1 Samuel 5-7). So, at this second, the ark is in a tent in Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6), and the Tabernacle and the altar are nonetheless in Gibeon.
When God accepted the sacrifices that David provided on the threshing flooring of Ornan by sending the fireplace for them Himself, David realized that God’s presence was there. So, he concluded that that is the place God at all times needed them to supply their sacrifices and determined to construct Him a everlasting residence. By the way, the threshing flooring of Ornan was situated on Mount Moriah the place God requested Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Simply as Abraham drew the knife to slay his son, God stopped him and offered a ram as a substitutionary sacrifice (Genesis 22). Then, round a thousand years later, God known as out to the destroyer angel as stretched his sword out over Jerusalem and advised him to cease. Then, David provided an animal sacrifice which stopped the angel from killing any extra individuals (1 Chronicles 21:14-15, 26-27).
Mount Moriah was the place the place God confirmed his covenant with Abraham by means of his willingness to sacrifice his son. Now, David needed to make it the place the place all sacrifices have been introduced to the Lord by Abraham’s descendants as a long-lasting covenant. Then, virtually a thousand years later, simply outdoors its gates as was the customized for sin choices (Leviticus 16), on the close by hill of Golgotha (John 19:16-18), our Heavenly Father provided His one and solely Son as a substitutionary sacrifice as soon as for all. John 3:16; Galatians 3:13-14; Hebrews 13:10-16; 1 Peter 3:18
