  • Fred Scanlan - In Reply on Philippians 2 - 3 years ago
    We start out as a child , we except the word for what it is! As we mature and live our life we carry his word with us. I carried a bible most of my life. I still have a very short memory, and have difficulty remembering chapters and verses. So., what I do is try to apply certain things that happen in life to his words. There is nothing that will happen to you, that is uncommon to man. You will soon find out that Satan does not like anyone excepting Christ. This world is his place , this to you will find out. The 3 words I always, always remember, is when He says " Do Not Be Afraid"

    The Bible and the word of God is laid out in the form of the tabernacle or a cross. ( Ex 25).The shadow and figure of the Stature of Jesus Christ is unveiled in the detailed blueprint of the Old Testament Tabernacle, known as Moses' Tabernacle. This was the first Tabernacle, and it was a picture of the Second Tabernacle, the LORD Jesus Christ; therefore, we can find all Spiritual Principles of Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge hidden within it. There are 7 pieces of furniture in the tabernacle. The first is the Brazen Altar where the sacrifices took place. It is picture of Christ sanctifying blood sacrifice on the cross. Next in the courtyard is the laver (wash basin)or (baptism). This is God's beginning principle of growth. Every believer or nation must experience the blood, fire and water (baptism) which together makes up the foundational part of the cross. Next is the Holy place wherein is the altar of incense(prayer) , the candlesticks (knowledge, understanding, wisdom), and the table of showbread (Christ's governmental strength). then in the Holy of Holies is the ark of the covenant and the mercy seat. This is God's throne room where HE promises to commune and meet with us. SO when you read anything in the bible the word will fit on the cross(tabernacle) and teach us something specific. The old testament had a natural tabernacle but Jesus is a picture of a more perfect tabernacle.( Heb 9:2-11) We can learn how to grow by studying the meaning behind the furniture in Moses' tabernacle and what it represents. (Tim 3:16,17)
