109 - Precious Names on Precious Stones

You pick up your Bible. Is there more here than meets the eye is something here for me. I mean it's just words printed on paper may look like just print on the page but it's more than Inc. join us for the next half hour, as we explore God's word together as we learn how to explore it, as we ask God to meet us there in its pages welcome to more than you've heard that phrase clothes make the man and today were to look at the close of the high priest but does that make the priest's clothes don't make him high priest, but they tell us something about very important today, more than Jesus is more than Inc. I'm sitting across from the lovely thank you and I'm sitting across from Jim S and you're not only content in one another's presence, but we have coffee and and we have the word, which is what were looking overlooking a fascinating section in Exodus were were were talking about the tabernacle and the very specific instructions God has about what everything is supposed to look like because it's gonna tell us something about him and about life with him, and specifically today were coming to the high priest garments finished with the building itself, content itself is not a minister in the tents. Yeah, yeah, and the high priest, the high priest is the only guy that goes from all in the outside goes all in the inside and under under very specific circumstances as well, but because he is unique in that way. He has unique clothing because clothing means something in the ancient world. Well yeah we we probably need it just came on that for just a minute because even today the way person dresses indicate something about them going to a doctor's office. You sort of expect nurses to be wearing something identifiable as a nurse and you expect your doctor to be wearing something is white coat factory anymore. Have you even going fast there wearing T-shirts with the name of their status.

Mr. Wright, it's not for an idea. No clothing indicates something about the identity of the person you're dealing with. By scripturally. It also clothing indicates something about the inner character. Yes, the reflection of the character and we know that the New Testament tells us that we are clothed with the righteousness of Christ, exactly. So there's the picture. Start with so so God is God is giving us imagery that represents who he is what heaven is like the relationship between God and man. So this one very particular very individual in the high priest, you would expect to have a very unique garb saying something about that. We do all chapter 20 which is where we are today. We'll talk about that starting in verse one gives a certain overview of what you talk about in the rest of the chapter talk about just the high priest garments. So listen to this carefully because this gives you a great context of what's going on. We read this last time and were not repeating it because we forgot to do it because this is just such an important intro to talking about the guardians the high priest want to take a first choice so bring near to you Aaron your brother and his sons with him from the people of Israel to serve me as priests, Aaron and Aaron's sons who alleys are the marks of this tells us right here that this Aaron historically was the unique only high priest and his sons will minister with him rather than when you become a priest at his death, tell them, and you shall make in verse two holy garments for Aaron your brother glory and for beauty and you shall speak to all the skillful, whom I have filled with the spirit of skill that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him for my priesthood so that the garments indicate something specific about Aaron that he is set apart for this priesthood is different and their beautiful garments and their recognizable garments write the primary idea behind glory is recognition right so these garments say something say something and then we have this list of six pieces you shall make in verse four abreast piece.

He fought a robe coat of check or work specific turbine and a sash and you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons to serve me as priests, and they shall receive gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twisted rights over the launch often look at these garments rolling I get through a couple of them today but but go going back to verse two.

Isn't that interesting. These holy garments for your brother for glory and for you right. Let's sit on that Frese for glory and provision your imaginal a lot about glory glory glory. Is this the larger manifestation making known something right. And in this particular case it's it's who God is and who Aaron is asses intermediary, the high priest right is the only guy who gets to wear these things is God's single one right high priest and there's a striking similarity between the colors of his clothing and the colors of all the tapestries and linens that are in the tabernacle, and even the wall close association right so he is clearly made for some kind of role in this unique and very divine place… No question about that, but the fact of the answer that beauty.

I think that's just fasting because we have a God who just loves beauty makes and if you look around the natural creation is made to go yup I get that.

I've seen a sunrise or sunset. I've seen the Grand Canyon. I understand what that's all about. And there's no there's no question in our minds that the creator has made around us, things of great beauty and he didn't have to.

He could've made everything flat and great okay but this work isn't just beautiful carries with it the idea ornaments like he would wear royal splendor, and identifying ornament Jeff but which would have a delight to the crown jewels right exactly exactly.

And so so he's he's testing these people with making these closings. Given the staffs, the people who are or skill that is given the spirit this gallon working and talked about that a couple of weeks we get to chapter 31 God actually says I'm given specific gifts of craftsmanship and wisdom to these political and there to make this stuff and I personally think part of their experience in Egypt was to to pick up was to learn the skill of extraordinary weaving and textile arts and work of jewelers were here which is not to put down God's spirit that he gave them to be skillful but what they were exposed to the craftsmanship and now God has equipped them to be able to well very well so that's what that's was coming from and was really really well and again as I mentioned last time, he's it just in these few verses. He says two or three times he says this high priest. He serves me, he serves me now his role is as an intermediary with the people and so benefits the people, but this is God saying this is my idea that this is what I want to do on from my initiative to do something through this intermediary that's gonna make a relationship works with this.

This priest serves in the very things that he wears indicate something about his function yes as priests so that's that sets us up to talk about these two very interesting things that you find in the breast piece which are totally connected together. You never have one without the other integrators. There they are. There's a lot of detail describing how they were connected together and those are the only two of the list of six will get to today but it did before you get to I just thought is that you know the colors and in the ornamentation of these clothing is so much different than religious garb today like you look at clerics today.

There almost always clothed in black and it almost looks like a funeral necessarily in high church the surgical churches historically. They wore bright colored I know robe since there was some of you if you just look at kind of you know neighborhood clerics black. It's boring you know purple and scarlet was not okay. I JUST NOT AS INTERESTING CONTRAST WILL LET'S LOOK AT A LIST JUST JUMP AND HE FOUGHT IN VERSE SIX OKAY SO WHERE IS HE FOUGHT TODAY RIGHT OKAY SELF DESCRIBED WOMEN.

IF YOU ARE SEAMSTRESS IN YEARS OLD AS I AM REMEMBER MAKING OR WEARING A PINAFORE FOR RIGHT THING THAT WENT OVER OVER THE RIGHT OKAY SO LET'S START READING THIS KIND OF PAPER LIKE BUT OVER THE WELL OVER THE TOP. THIS JUST ON THE TOP PART OF THE BODY.

SO I CHAPTER 28 VERSE SIX AND THEY SHALL MAKE FUN OF GOLD OF BLUE AND PURPLE AND SCARLET YARNS A FINE TWINED LINEN SKILLFULLY WERE BEAUTIFUL SHALL HAVE TWO SHOULDER PIECES ATTACHED TO HIS TWO EDGES SO THAT THEY MAY BE JOINED TOGETHER SO IT HANGS OVER THE SHOULDERS AND SKILLFULLY WOVEN BAND ON IT SHALL BE MADE LIKE IT AND BE OUT OF ONE PIECE WITH IT.

GOLD, BLUE AND PURPLE AND SCARLET YARNS AND FINE TWINED LINEN AND YOU SHALL TAKE TWO ONYX STONES FUND THE NAMES OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL.

SIX OF THEIR NAMES ON ONE STONE AND SIX NAMES OF THE REMAINING SIX ON THE OTHER STONE IN THE ORDER OF THEIR BIRTH AS A JEWELER AND CRAVE SIGNET SOCIAL YOU ENGRAVE THE TWO STONES AT THE NAMES OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL AND YOU SHALL ENCLOSE THEM IN SETTINGS OF GOLD FILIGREE SOMETHING FROM YOU. OKAY HOW BEAUTIFUL WERE THEY BIG BLACK FLAT JEWELS RIGHT THAT WERE INSCRIBED NOT JUST CRASH A STICK BUT INSCRIBED THE WAY A JEWELER WOULD ENGRAVE SOMETHING PRECIOUS WITH THE NAME OF THE NAME. YEAH, IF YOUR NAME IS ENGRAVED ON SOMETHING. HOW IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU LIKE INSIDE MY WEDDING INSIDE OUR WEDDING.

HAVE OUR INITIALS ENGRAVED SO HERE YOU HAVE PRECIOUS STONES WITH PRECIOUS NAMES ENGRAVED ON OKAY AND THEN GO ON THE SHOULDER PIECES SO LET'S READ ON FOR MEDICAL, SHALL SET THE TWO STONES ON THE SHOULDER PIECES OF DEFINED AS STONES OF REMEMBRANCE FOR THE SONS OF ISRAEL AND AARON SHALL BEAR THEIR NAMES BEFORE THE LORD ON HIS TWO SHOULDERS FAR REMEMBRANCE. YOU SHALL MAKE SETTINGS OF GOLD FILIGREE INTO CHAINS OF PURE GOLD TWISTED LIKE CORDS AND YOU SHALL ATTACH THE CORDED GENES TO THE SETTINGS OKAY STOP THERE. YOUR DOCTOR WHAT IS WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE STONES.

HE WEARS THEM ON HIS SHOULDERS AS HE GOES ABOUT HIS BUSINESS AS A HIGH PRIEST, AS WELL AS TWO OF THEM ONE FOR LEFT SHOULDER ONE FOR THE REGULAR BEARS THEIR NAMES ON HIS SHOULDERS. WHAT THINGS DO YOU CARRY UNDER SHELTER WILL SHOULDERS ACCOUNTABLE WORKPLACE OKAY THING YOU BEAR IN SHOWS WHICH ARE YOU AND I CARRY A PIECE OF LUMBER MY SHOULDER SO THE SHOULDERS ARE WORKING PLACE OKAY YOU CARRY A BURDEN UPON YOUR SHOULDERS GOT YOU ALL SO IF YOU'RE LIKE US CARRIER CHILDREN INITIALED. THERE WERE TIMES AND WE JUST SAT ON HER SHOULDERS AND CARRIED HIM.

I WONDER IF THAT PICTURES NOT HERE TO BUT HE SAYS AARON SHALL BEAR THEIR NAME. AND SO THERE ON HIS SHOULDERS SO THERE'S NAMES ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING UP RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT IN THE PICTURE BEING GOD IS LOOKING DOWN AND HE'S SEEING ON THE SHOULDERS. THE HIGH PRIEST BEARING THE BURDEN OF NAMING GOD'S PRESENCE. THAT'S WHERE I KIND OF EMPHASIZE MORE THE WORK SIDE OF THE SHOULDERS BECAUSE IT'S IT'S REALLY PART OF THE WORK OF A HIGH PRIEST IS TO REPRESENT GOD, AND THAT'S A BURDEN HE BEARS AT THE WORK THAT HE DOES ON THEIR BEHALF BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PLACE ON THE SPLENDID GARMENTS THAT THE HIGH PRIEST HAS WITH THE NAMES OF ISRAEL IS COMING UP IN THE SECOND. SO, CONTRAST WHAT YOU'RE SEEING AN IMAGE RIGHT NOW. OF THESE TWO STONES, ONE ON THE LEFT SHOULDER ON THE RIGHT WITH THE NAMES OF ISRAEL WITH WHAT'S COMING UP NEXT WITH THE NAMES IN ANOTHER PLACE ON ANOTHER PART OF THE BODY FOR ANOTHER EMPHASIS. THIS IS WHERE YOU DO THE SYMBOLOGY IS REALLY KINDA COOL. SO REMEMBER THAT PART OF WHAT THE HIGH PRIEST DID ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT WAS CARRY THE LEAD FROM THE BRONZE ALTAR IN TO THE HOLY OF HOLIES HE'S BEARING THE BURDEN AND BRINGING IT INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD RIGHT AND I MIGHT JUST ADD IN PASSING THAT WHEN JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BEFORE IS CRUCIFIED BEAR THIS CROSS THROUGH TOWN AND IT'S VERY LIKELY HE CARRIED ON HIS SHOULDERS SO SO THAT WHOLE IDEA, EVEN WHEN YOU SEE THAT IMAGERY AND PAINTINGS. YOU SEE, THE FACT THAT HE IS HE IS BURYING BURDEN FOR US AND IT'S BEARING ON HIS SHOULDERS SO THIS IS NOT A SMALL CONNECTION WILL SLOW THE PSALMIST SAYS IN ONE PLACE.

I THINK IT'S WHAT SOME BLESSED BE THE LORD DAILY BEARS, BEARS, OR SO THAT'S THAT'S THE JOB OF THE HIGH PRIEST, THAT'S AARON'S JOB AND NOW IT'S BEEN FORMALIZED WITH TWO PRECIOUS STONES. PRECIOUS STONES AND ENGRAVED BY A PROFESSIONAL JEWELER IS THE STONES ARE BLACK. I KNOW BECAUSE IF THE BEARING OF THE BURDEN IS CONNECTED WITH US IN DECEMBER OF PEOPLE WHO NEED TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE GOD INTERESTING STONES. THE NAMES ARE ENGRAVED ON BLACK STONE RIGHT BUT WILL SEE IN A MINUTE ON THE BREAST PIECE OVER HIS HEART. THEY ARE ENGRAVED, GLORIOUS, BEAUTIFUL, PRECIOUS STONES SOLD THE PICTURE ON NAMES ON THE SHOULDERS SO YOU CAN COMPARE WITH THE NAME SHRUB NEXUS FOR THE BREAST PIECE THAT'S GOT SOME RESTRICTION E IS FOR SALE SO YOU SHALL MAKE A BREAST PIECE OF JUDGMENT WHAT A BREAST PIECE OF JUDGMENT. DON'T FORGET THAT PHRASE IN SKILLED WORK IN THE STYLE OF THE E- FIVE YOU SHALL MAKE IT GOLD AND BLUE AND PURPLE AND SCARLET YARNS AND FINE TWINED LINEN SHALL YOU MAKE IT SHALL BE SQUARE, AND DOUBLED A SPAN ITS LENGTH IN THE SPAN IT'S BREATH AND YOU SHALL SETTING IT FOUR ROWS OF STONES, A ROW OF SARDIUS, TOPAZ, CARBUNCLE, SHALL BE THE FIRST ROW.

THE SECOND ROW, AND EMERALD A SAPPHIRE DIAMOND IN THE THIRD ROW, I JUST SENT AN AGATE AND AMETHYST OFFERS 20 AND THE FOURTH ROW, A BARREL AND ONYX AND JASPER AND THEY SHALL ALL BE SET IN GOLD FILIGREE. THERE SHALL BE 12 STONES WITH THEIR NAMES. ACCORDING TO THE NAMES OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL, AND THEY SHALL BE SIGNET SPEECH ENGRAVED WITH ITS NAME FOR THE 12 TRIBES AND YOU SHALL MAKE FOR THE BREAST PIECE TWISTED CHAINS LIKE CORDS OF PURE GOLD, AND SHALL MAKE FOR THE BREAST PIECE. TWO RINGS OF GOLD AND PUT THE TWO RINGS OF THE TWO EDGES OF THE BREAST PIECE AND YOU SHALL PUT THE TWO CORDS OF THE GOLD IN THE TWO RINGS OF THE EDGES OF THE BREAST PIECE, THE TWO ENDS OF THE TWO CORDS SHALL ATTACH TO THE TWO SETTINGS OF THE FILIGREE AND SO ATTACH IT, ATTACH IT IN FRONT OF THE SHOULDER PIECES OF THE FOG SO NICE SEEING WHERE THIS IS GOING TO ON THE CHEST.

26 AND YOU SHALL MAKE TWO RINGS OF GOLD AND PUT THEM AT THE TWO ENDS OF THE BREAST PIECE ON ITS INSIDE EDGE NEXT TO THE FIVE AND YOU SHALL MAKE TWO RINGS OF GOLD AND ATTACH THEM IN THE FRONT OF THE LOWER PART OF THE TWO SHOULDER PIECES OF THE E- FIVE EDIT SEAM ABOVE THE SKILLFULLY WOVEN BAND OF THE FIVE AND THEY SHALL BIND PIECE BY ITS RINGS TO THE RINGS OF THE E FOG WITH A LACE OF BLUES SO THAT IT MAY LIE ON THE SKILLFULLY WOVEN BAND OF THE E FOG SO THAT THE BREAST PIECE SHALL NOT COME LOOSE FROM THE 5K STOP WILL READING THAT IS NOT GOING TO COME LOOSE FROM THE FIVE NOW THOSE GOLD RINGS ARE LITERALLY INTERTWINED. THERE IS NO COMING LOOSE GOT THERE ALSO IS THIS PENDANT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SHOULDER PIECE AND THE E55 HANGS FROM THE SHOULDER PIECE RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT SO THAT'S AN INTERESTING IDEA THAT WHENEVER THIS A FUN REPRESENTS IN HIS GOAL. JULES IS HANGS INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE RIGHT BEARING THE BURDEN SHOULDERS. YES, US ARE SAYING CONTRAST IS NOW YOU HAVE HAVE THE SHOULDER. ONYX PIECES YOU WITH THE NAMES FACING UP AND NOW YOU HAVE A PRECIOUS STONE FOR EVERY TRY WITH THE NAME OF THE TRIBE, BUT EVERYONE IS PRECIOUS STONES IN IN KIND OF A SQUARE PATTERN ON THE CHEST ON THE BREAST PIECE WILL TRY TO ROLL TO THE E FUND NOW SO YOU GET THE NAMES OF THE SHOULDERS.

YOU GET THE NAMES ON THE CHEST AND IS GOING TO EXPLAIN TO US A LITTLE BIT IN THE NEXT SECTION ABOUT WHAT THE SYMBOLOGY OF HAVING THE NAMES ON THE CHEST IS HAVING READ THAT I STOPPED A SHORT 10 THOSE DETAILS WITH YOU KNOW THAT YOU JUST NEED UNDERSTAND THE OUTCOME LOOSE IT'S NOT COMING LOOSE.

IT IS, IT IS CONNECTED. SOMETHING ABOUT THE SYMBOLISM OF THE NAMES IN THE SHOULDERS IS TIGHTLY INTEGRATED TO THE SYMBOLISM OF THE NAMES ON THE CHEST. THAT'S THE POINT. THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE PLACES, BUT THEY GO TOGETHER SOLICITS A DIFFERENT LOOK DIFFERENT YET SO GO VERSE 929 SO AARON SHALL BEAR THE NAMES OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL IN THE BREAST PIECE OF JUDGMENT ON HIS HEART AND WHEN HE GOES INTO THE HOLY PLACE TO BRING THEM TO REGULAR REMEMBRANCE BEFORE THE LORD AND IN THE BREAST PIECE OF JUDGMENT WILL WAIT FOR THAT PERSON SO SO THAT'S A CONNECTION RIGHT THERE, IS THAT ON. REMEMBER WE SAID ON THE SHOULDERS ACCOUNTING IMPLIES BEARING THE BURDEN FOR SOMEONE.

MANY TIMES IT IMPLIES A DEBT THAT'S THE BURDEN AND THEN ON THE CHEST. HE SAYING HERE IT SO THAT IT REFLECTS SOMETHING ABOUT THE HEART OF NOT ONLY HIGH PRIEST, BUT GOD'S HEART AS WELL FOR THESE TRIBES BY NAME BY NAME. SO WE HAVE TO PLACE YOU HAVE TO PROBLEM NOT TWO PROBLEMS WITH TWO ASPECTS OF GOD'S SENSE OF PRECIOUSNESS OF THE TRIBES. THE PRECIOUSNESS OF HIS PEOPLE, THE PRECIOUSNESS SYMBOLIZED BY THE PRECIOUS STONES IN ONE SENTENCE ABOUT HIS HEART FOR THEM IN THE OTHER SENTENCE ABOUT BEARING A BURDEN FOR THEM TOGETHER INTEGRATED THAT THAT'S JUST A GREAT PICTURE.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE AND THE FACT THAT THIS CALL THE BREAST PIECE OF GENTLEMAN JUDGMENT AND INTERESTING TONES ARE BEAUTIFUL. I WONDER IF THAT DOESN'T CONNECT TO, WHEN JESUS SAID IN JOHN FIVE RIGHT HERE HERE'S MY WORD AND BELIEVES THAT YOU SENT ME HAS ETERNAL LIFE, AND DOES NOT COME INTO JUDGMENT, BUT HAS PASSED OUT OF DEATH INTO LIFE. SO IF THOSE THOSE SHOULDER PLATES.

THE ONYX PLATES SPEAK OF THE JUDGMENT OF SIN HIGH PRIEST BEAR IS A PROBLEM, THEN FOLLOWING THAT JUDGMENT. WE ARE DECLARED BEAUTIFUL AND GLORIOUS AND FULL OF THE LIGHT OF GOD CARRIED OVER HIS HEART. WHEN WE SPEAK OF THE HEART WERE SPEAKING OF THE DEEP INNER PERSON WHO LOVES YOU. SO WHEN WE SEE THIS TIGHTLY INTEGRATED OUTER GARMENT THE NAMES INTO PLACES WERE SEEING GOD'S HEART VISIBLY DISORDER THE PEOPLE THAT HE FINDS SO PRECIOUS SOMEWHAT A PERSON OF THE PEOPLE HE FINDS SO PRECIOUS BY NAME. EVERY INDIVIDUAL.

ONE OF THEM ALSO HAS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE BORN BY GOD HIMSELF RIGHT AND THAT'S BOY YOU TALK ABOUT NEW TESTAMENT GOSPEL STORIES. THAT'S THE GOSPEL RIGHT THERE.

HERE'S A PEOPLE THAT GOD LOVES BUT WHO HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT HE IS GOING TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF THAT PROBLEM. HE'S GONNA SOLVE A PROBLEM AND THAT'S ALL SYMBOLICALLY RIGHT THERE RIGHT THERE IN THE MOST VISIBLE SPOT OF THE HIGH PRIEST CLOTHING SO YOU KNOW ANYONE ANYONE IS OR COULD LOOK AND SAY LOOK MY TRIBES NAME IS RIGHT THERE. RON IS JUST AND IT'S ALSO HE'S CARRYING ON HIS SHOULDERS. THIS GUY IS DOING SOMETHING FOR ME WITH THE GOD WHO LOVES ME TREMENDOUSLY WELCOME AGAINST MINORS AGAINST HIS HEART. THAT MAKES ME BEAUTIFUL CARRIES ME AND MAKES ME BEAUTIFUL IT'S IT'S A GREAT PICTURE. I MEAN, YOU COULD CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LOOK AT THIS ALL DAY AND JUST MAKE A LOT OF CONNECTIONS ABOUT IMAGERY WHAT GOD'S TRYING TO TELL US ABOUT THIS AND THIS. THIS IS, AND WE GET AROUND THE HIGH PRIEST NOT ONLY THE HIGH PRIEST, SOMEONE WHO SERVES GOD, BUT HE ACTUALLY EMBODIES GOD'S WILL. GOD'S HEART WHEN HE WAS ACCOMPLISHED, JUST LIKE JESUS WAS VERY MUCH THE SAME THING. SO THIS IS GOD'S HEART DISPLAYED IN THE JOB OF THE HIGH PRIEST. AND IN THIS CLOTHING.

WELL, ACTUALLY, MOSES ACTUALLY SAYS THAT AFTER THE PART ABOUT THE URBAN WILL CIRCLE BACK TO THAT. LOOK AT THE FINAL PART OF THE LAST VERSE OF THIS CHAPTER. THAT'S AARON SHALL BEAR THE JUDGMENT OF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL ON HIS HEART IS HEARTLESS FOR THE LORD CONTINUE TO ESTABLISH THE JOB OF THE HIGH PRIEST, THAT'S GREAT MIND GOD. THAT JUDGMENT HAS TAKEN PLACE LISTED THERE OKAY STOP SHORT OF THAT ELEMENT IN THE BREAST PIECE AND THIS IS CONFUSE PEOPLE FOR A LONG TIME, SO WE'LL SEE WHERE YOU PICK UP 30 YEAH AND THE BREAST PIECE OF JUDGMENT YOU SHALL PUT THE ROOM IN THE THUMB AND THEY SHALL BE ON AARON'S HEART WHEN HE GOES AND BEFORE THE LORD AND THEN YOU GET THE WHAT YOU JUST READ BECAUSE AARON SUMMARY JUDGMENT. THE PEOPLE THERE WERE THIS THE FIRST TIME IN THE BIBLE. I WASN'T SURE THAT THE TERM THE PHONE NUMBER MENTIONED AND THEY BEEN SO MISCHARACTERIZING GUEST ABOUT BY SO MANY RELIGIONS AROUND PROBABLY AIDED BY OTHER AND I WAS CURIOUS TO. I COULDN'T MEMBER HOW MANY TIMES ARE MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE NOT ONLY MENTIONED HALF A DOZEN TIMES, BUT THERE MENTIONED VERY EARLY HERE IS THE FIRST AND ALWAYS THROUGH YOU KNOW AS WRITTEN IS IN THE MIND WHICH ARE QUITE LATE, YOU KNOW, IN CAPTIVITY'S AND SO THEY ARE BUT THEY'RE ALWAYS CONNECTED WITH TRYING TO DISCERN GOD'S WILL. SO THERE THERE IN A SENSE WHAT I WROTE DOWN MY NOTES IS THAT THEY'RE KIND OF ACCRUED DISCERNING TOOL INNOCENCE AND THERE IN THEIR EMBEDDED IN WHAT MIGHT BE LIKE A POUCH OR SOMETHING IN THE BREAST PIECE. I DON'T KNOW.

WE SPECULATE ABOUT THE TWO, BUT INSECTICIDES IN SO IT'S IN THE BREAST PIECE AND THEY'RE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. A CHICKEN BREAST PIECE IS MADE OF A FOLDED PIECE OF FABRIC.

YEAH, RIGHT. SO THERE'S A POCKET RIGHT SIDE SOAKING IN IT IT IT HAS A KIND OF INHERENT PROMISE THAT GOD WILL GOD WILL GIVE YOU PRACTICAL DIRECTION.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE MEANT TO BE SO.

IN FACT, I WAS ALWAYS ROOM I HAD FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS. REMEMBER WHEN SAUL WAS FIRST KING OF ISRAEL IS TRYING TO GET DIRECTION FROM GOD, AND GOD WAS SILENCE BECAUSE SAUL WAS KIND OF MESSED UP PLACE, TIME, AND RIGHT AFTER THAT, HE TRIED TO GET SOME DIRECTION FROM THE ARMY THUMMIM DIDN'T WORK DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER SO AS A RESULT OF THAT, HE WENT OUT TO LOOK FOR THAT THAT SORCERERS MEDIUM FOR SAYING THAT WOMAN FROM ANDORRA. THAT'S WHAT HE DID BUT HE WAS LOOKING FOR THAT DIRECTION FROM THEIR GOVERNMENT THEM DIDN'T COME OUT THAT THAT'S WHAT THIS IS SOME KIND OF DIRECTION THING SO I CAN WEAR BACK THIS IDEA THAT WE HAVE NOT COMPLETELY DECODED THE SYMBOLOGY HERE, BUT THE FACT THAT THIS GUIDANCE FROM GOD IS SOMEHOW INTEGRATED INTO GOD, RENDERING THE JUDGMENT OF SIN AND CREATING BEAUTY IN US AND THE HIGH PRIESTESS CARRYING THIS MEANS OF DETERMINING WHAT GOD INTENDS. YES, OVER HIS HEART. IT IT'S IT'S A GREAT PICTURE. SO, AGAIN, IS AN ISRAELITE WOULD LOOK THAT THEY'D SAY NO. HERE'S MY NAME ON HIS HEART.

HERE'S MY NAME ON HIS SHOULDERS. HE'S CARRYING A BURDEN FOR ME AND BY THE WAY HE'S INVOLVED WITH ME ENOUGH WITH THE URBAN THUMMIM THAT HE'S GOING TO GIVE ME PRACTICAL DIRECTION IN LIFE TO GET TO WHERE GOD WANTS ME TO BE ANY COURSE, WE SEE THAT WORKED AT ANNEXES AS THEY AS THEY LEAVE EGYPT AND ITALY GO ACROSS THE RED SEA AND GOING THE PROMISED LAND IS VERY PRACTICAL DIRECTION.

THAT'S THE URBAN THE THUMB OF ITS GOT INVOLVED ON THE DAILY ISSUES OF LIFE AND THEIR PART OF HIS HEART FOR HIS PEOPLE. THAT'S WHAT THIS BREAST PIECE IS TRYING TO TALK AND WE KNOW LATER THAT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES IN TO INDWELL US THAT JESUS SAID HE WILL GUIDE YOU. YOU CAN'T TEACH.

YOU KNOW I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'VE SAID. I REMIND YOU OF WHAT I'VE TOLD YOU SO. I WONDER IF THAT'S NOT HERE WAY. WE DON'T KNOW WE HAVE VERY LITTLE INFORMATION THERE, BUT ALL WE DO KNOW IS CONNECTED SOMEHOW WITH PRAGMATIC DIRECTION FROM YOU SO LET'S NOT MAKE A MYTHOLOGY ABOUT ELDERLY PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT IT IS NOT THAT MUCH ABOUT IT. SO WHAT I WANT TO FINISH ON IS WHAT WE JUST READ BEFORE THE VERY LAST LINE JUST SO PRECIOUS. THUS AARON SHALL BEAR THE JUDGMENT OF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL ON HIS HEART BEFORE THE LORD REGULARLY THAT THIS IS SUCH A SWEET PICTURE ABOUT GOD'S INTENDED HIGH PRIEST WHO SERVES HIM SERVES GOD FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE THAT HE LOVES. BUT FOR WHOM THERE BURDEN HE BEARS.

THAT'S WHAT THAT'S GENERALLY TWO ELEMENTS INTO THE SIX OF WHAT THE HIGH PRIEST IS SUPPOSED TO WEAR AND YOU CAN PULL ALL THE STUFF OUT OF IT. THAT'S WHY IT'S FUN TO READ THIS INJUSTICE DOWN AND SCRATCH YOUR HEAD AND WONDER TAKE ANOTHER SIP OF COFFEE AND ASK YOURSELF, WAIT A SECOND. IF IT'S ON HIS HEART.

YET, THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE SO IT IS FOR GLORY AND IT IS FOR BEAUTY. NOT ABSOLUTELY THINKING ABOUT ABOUT THE PASSAGES AS HE HIMSELF BORE OUR SINS BORROWS HIS BODY ON THE CROSS SO THAT WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. AND I THINK THAT FULFILLS US A FULFILLING SEE THIS THIS VISUAL PICTURE OF THE HIGH PRIESTS GOVERNMENTS HERE. I MANGLED THAT I WAS JUST BARELY THINKING IT THROUGH. WORK IS ALL ABOUT WELL AND YOU KNOW WE MENTIONED SO MANY TIMES BOOK HEBREWS. THERE'S SO MUCH HERE THAT THE WRITER OF HEBREWS SPENDS MORE THAN HALF OF THE BOOK OF HEBREWS, TALKING ABOUT HIGH PRIEST ISSUES BECAUSE IT'S JUST A VERY RICH SOURCE OF UNDERSTANDING THE HEART HAVE AND HOW HE HAS JESUS AS OUR HIGH PRIEST TO NOT ONLY BEAR OUR BURDENS, BUT IN DOING SO WERE AT THE END OF OUR TIME WERE GLAD YOU'RE WITH US ON MORE THAN INCOME JIM AND WE HOPE TO COME BACK BECAUSE WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE REST OF THE GO TO OUT OF THE SIX AND RICHARD SO YOU NOT WANT TO MISS IT.
