In this episode, we continue our journey through the sacred design of the Tabernacle by diving deep into the Bronze Altar, the place where Israel came to meet God through sacrifice. We explore its structure, materials, and spiritual significance, including:
The altar’s dimensions and their symbolic meaning (grace and divine fullness).
The horns of the altar as symbols of power, refuge, and mercy.
The bronze grating as a picture of spiritual purification and fasting.
The carrying poles that reveal God’s presence on the move, calling us to live as mobile altars of worship.
We also break down the five foundational offerings from Leviticus:
Burnt Offering – complete surrender to God
Grain Offering – gratitude and consecration of daily labour
Peace Offering – restored relationship and fellowship with God
Sin Offering – atonement for unintentional sin
Guilt Offering – making restitution and receiving forgiveness
These offerings were not just rituals, they were prophetic shadows pointing forward to Jesus Christ , who said, “I have come not to abolish [the Law] but to fulfil it” (Matthew 5:17). His final words on the cross — “Tetelestai” (“It is finished”) echo throughout the Tabernacle’s design, declaring that the debt of sin has been fully paid.
Join us as we connect the physical elements of the Bronze Altar with the spiritual realities found only in Christ – the true Altar of Refuge, Sacrifice, and Transformation.
