We are walking in today: Chanukkah Is The Opposite Of Christ-Mass!! Part 3
Witness tabernacle throughout the Bible: H4908 mishkan-- dwelling place, tabernacle
Exo 25:9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, H4908 and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
The Torah testifies...............
Num 16:9 Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle H4908 of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
The prophets proclaim..................
Eze 37:27 My tabernacle H4908 also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
The writings bear witness...........................
Psa 43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. H4908
Jos 22:29 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle. H4908
The Feast of Tabernacles is also a feast where we are commanded to build temporary shelters outside (called a sukkah) and live in them. These temporary shelters are deliberately meant to be “flimsy,” because it represents the fact that this earth that we are now living in is going to burn up because it is temporary. It also means that this mortal body that we live in is also temporary, for we will receive a “new” incorruptible body when Messiah resurrects his bride.
Thus, the Feast of Tabernacles points to the temporary priesthood of the sons of Aaron. The role of the High Priest belonging to the “sons of Aharown” (Aaron) was “The law that was added because of transgression” spoken of by Paul in Galatians 3:19. You see, after Yisra’el had transgressed the marriage covenant with the molten calf on Mount Sinai, Mosheh (Moses) had to institute a temporary priesthood from his brother Aaron and his sons. This was because Aaron was the one who caused Yisra’el to sin in the first place with the molten calf and therefore, the only way that Aaron and his sons could live is if they offered their lives as a ransom year-by-year on Yom Kippur for the nation.
There was always the possibility that the Kohen Gadowl (High Priest) could die behind the veil in the “Holy of Holies” if he had not sufficiently atoned for his own sins. That is why the sons of Aaron were “temporary,” because they were mortals who died. But once our Messiah was baptized by John, he was illustrating that year the transfer was taking place from John (who was a Levite) back to the priesthood of Melchizedek who never dies but has an “endless life” (Hebrews 7:16).
All throughout the millennial reign of Messiah, the entire Towrah (Mosaic Law) will be implemented, because the body of Messiah is still in transgression. Even though Messiah paid the price, they have not fully received his price yet. And so during the Millennium, he will fully implement the entire Towrah, to include animal sacrifices (see Ezekiel 40-48). Now, his once-and-for-all sacrifice was already done in eternity because he is “the lamb slain from the foundations of the world” (Revelation 13:8).
However, he will perform animal sacrifices in the Millennium NOT for atonement, but for illustration purposes in order to teach us through visual pictures what his sacrifice on the tree was all about. He will not be doing these animal sacrifices to atone for sins, as he has already done this by his “once-and-for-all” Passover sacrifice. But he will do them as a “MEMORIAL” of himself to remind us and to teach us.
Now, once the Millennium is over, it says in Revelation 21:1 that there will be a “new heaven and a new earth” that will come down out of heaven, and the “first heaven and the first earth will pass away.” This is when the Temple ordinances after the sons of Aaron will also pass away. This now gives new meaning to our Messiah’s words in Matthew 5:17-19, when he said “until heaven and earth passes away, one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from the Towrah until all be fulfilled.”
Well, not all is fulfilled yet. He fulfilled the “laws for blood atonement” but there is much more for him to fulfill during the Millennium. In order for him to “finish the transgression, make an end of sins, make reconciliation for iniquity, bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up the vision and the prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy,” (Daniel 9:24) he must “flesh it out” in the Millennium.
The priesthood of Melchizedek will serve “side-by-side” with the priesthood of Lewiytes (Levites) all during the Millennium just like in the Tabernacle of David. This means that both the “Tzadiq” (Zadok) and the Levites will serve together. In other words, the heavenly & the earthly will come together, until the end of the Millennium, when the earthly will go away. At that point the “Lamb and The Most High Almighty shall be the Temple.”
Until then, the Levites have not vanished away. They have been temporarily set aside because the Temple is no longer standing in Jerusalem. But that Temple will be rebuilt and Yahuwshuwa will be the High Priest there after the order of Melchizedek. He will be the Prince that shall offer sacrifices as seen in Ezekiel 40-48. The Levites have not vanished away yet until AFTER the Millennium. They are “ready to vanish away” (Hebrews 8:13), but they have not vanished away yet!
When our Messiah returns to set up his kingdom, he will again rebuild the Tabernacle of Dawiyd (David) which is fallen down (Acts 15:16) and both priesthoods will serve together side-by-side (Levites & Melchi-zedek). All seven of the annual feasts found in Leviticus 23 will be celebrated during the Messiah’s Kingdom. The nations that refuse to come to Jerusalem for these feasts during the Millennium will experience drought and famine according to Zechariah 14:16-17. But once our Messiah’s 1,000-year reign is over, he himself will become the “Temple” in the New Jerusalem in the 8th millennium!
