Igniting The Gospel

Join Pastor Damon Snead from Conroe Seventh Day Adventist Church as he ignites the power of the Gospel within you as we explore the hidden truths in the Bible.

We will start by looking at something that many Christians today don't think about: the sanctuary in the Old Testament. This ancient structure and the ceremonies associated with it have significance to every Christian today and their walk with Jesus. Come find out why God spent so many words describing the sanctuary and how it applies to your life today.

Learn about how every word in the Bible points to Jesus and how he can be seen in many people/objects and circumstances (types) in the Old Testament and how these point forward to present truth (anti-type).

Join us on our journey through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation as we Ignite the Power of the Gospel and bring you closer to Jesus!

We continue with our discussion of the materials used to build the perimeter of the sanctuary including the wood, metals, colors of thread and the symbolism contained in them.

Overview of the Sanctuary

We talk about the actual dimensions of the perimeter which is 100 cubits by 50 cubits and the symbolism of the number 300 (adding up the sides). Damon discusses how these dimensions are quoted in Zechariah and Revelation. Damon also notes that 300 is the number of God’s provision: Noah’s Ark was 300 cubits long, Enoch walked with God 300 years, Samson catches 300 foxes and Judas says the Alabaster oil could have been sold for 300 pence.

Damon discusses the idea of type and antitype in the bible and how it can be used to discuss how one thing points to another thing. Paul called it shadow (copy) and substance (reality) in the New Testament. We discuss how these stories are a map leading the Israelites to the coming of Jesus as the Messiah.

Colossians 2:16-17

Hebrews 8:5

We discuss the screen of the East Gate and the materials and colors used for the thread of the veil:

1. Blue (God’s Law/Obedience)

We discuss God’s Law (The 10 commandments) and their meaning to the Israelites as well as how they are part of modern society and still have meaning to Christians today.

2. Purple (Royalty/Kings)

We discuss how blue + red = purple (obedience + sacrifice) and how it represented the stability of the home and the sacrifice that was needed to be a king. We discuss Jesus as King of Kings being draped at the cross in purple, a picture of a real king with obedience and sacrifice.

3. Red/Scarlet/Crimson (Sacrifice/Atonement/Blood)

Leviticus 17:10-11

We discuss how the sanctuary was almost saturated in blood from sacrifices daily that pointed to the future atonement by Jesus dying for our sins.

Hebrews 10:4-7

Hebrews 10:12

Isaiah 1:16-17

We discuss that the red color came from the Crimson Worm, “Tolah,” which was mentioned in Psalm 22:6 which points to Jesus and his sacrifice. Damon said that life is in the blood and Jesus would give his life through his blood to cover our sins and what that cost God.
