The Lampstand Made of Pure Gold
Exodus 37:17~24│ Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it.
The whole of it was a single piece of hammered work of pure gold.
And he made its seven lamps and its tongs and its trays of pure gold.
He made it and all its utensils out of a talent of pure gold.
God instructed the Israelites who were walking on the wilderness path to build the Tabernacle and to make a lampstand that would shine light inside of it. God had the Levites keep the lamp of prayer lit and those who lived inside the tents were directed to pray as they looked toward the lamp.
In addition, while the Israelites were walking on the wilderness path,
God made them pray and be led by the lamp. Likewise,
the Triune God is with His children as the light.
Wherever His children go, the background of Heaven will be established
and darkness will break down. What is the blessing of the light that
children of God must enjoy?
1.Let the Light of God Be Established in You
The lampstand represents the light of creation, the light of glory, and the light of life that shine the mystery of Christ. When this light is established in you, you’ll enjoy the
mysteries of Christ who is the prophet, priest, and king in order
to overcome darkness. This is the blessing of the light that children of God must enjoy.
2.Do Not Let This Light Extinguish
There was a reason why God kept the lampstand inside the temple.
The light of Christ had to be relayed eternally.
While walking on the wilderness path, God let the Israelites see the light of Jehovah
in order to cross the Jordan River, break down the Wall of Jericho, and gain
victory in the battle against the united forces of Amorites.
Moreover, possessing the eternal light of Jehovah, they had to enter the
land of Canaan. God gave them the blessing of shining the light of Christ
to the entire world.
The temple that shines the light of Christ to the entire world is important.
The temple that shines the light to the 237 nations; relays the light of healing;
and provides a place where Remnants can gather and receive the answer of the Summit
is needed. Starting today, pray to light the lamps of the church and to shine the light
of Christ.
