Bibledoorajar: Holy Furnishings

Yesterday my congregation met for fellowship with God following a rather involved class discussion about what happens to us at death. That is, if we are asleep (comatose) in Jesus, is there another part of us, say our spirit, that is alive and with the Lord and functioning among the many witnesses who urge us to finish the course?  For some, this discussion seemed "complicated" while others seemed to be more at peace with their view. Anyway, later as we came to that part of the worship where we share the emblems. I looked up and noticed that one server was concerned that the other had overlooked a believer and gone on to the next row. He signaled that we cannot leave even one out. (Really, the brother did not intend to leave her out, he just thought his dispensing method would be more efficient). It made me think of this study and how important the Most holy furnishings were and how much thought God put into them so not one would have to feel left out.
 It was with these furnishings that God said where He would meet with His people as opposed to other furnishings in the other parts of the tabernacle which prepared the people to meet with Him. God said He would meet with the people from the Mercy seat which was a solid sheet of pure gold. It sat above the Ark and had a crown of gold that formed the top and sides. It was the most costly item in the Most Holy Place( divine)  and the blood that was sprinkled there for the propitiation of sins was foremost in preciousness. For our sister to whom it looked like she may be left out, it meant that the preciousness of her Propitiatory was overlooked. She, a chosen one, must be included as Christs' (her sins satisfied) in order for the Father to be thoroughly satisfied with the fellowship.
God had also had Moses have a table made. On this table were twelve loaves of "pierced" bread in rows of six. Once again we see that all of God's chosen (the twelve tribes) were represented and therefore none were to be left out. The bread sweetened by frankincense stayed before the Lord for seven days and then was eaten by the High priest and his sons in the holy place. Each loaf was to be the same size indicating all of God's chosen were in view.  How could the sister enjoy this wonderful communion if overlooked? How could I feel complete if she were? But I am glad to say, the communication between the servers was cleared and the one server stepped back to her and saw that she was served. Whew! I now felt we were all one in Him.  And it was wonderful. I pray for all God's chosen who chose to miss this wonderful communion yesterday that they may be imbued by God (as my petition is presented by the Propitiatory and accepted) with a strong desire for this most holy and often fellowship.
