~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Different ones was sharing and I did not say anything for I was listening and taking some notes: I do not like for other people to think that I think that I know it all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I felt time did come for me to share and I raised my hand and I said I do not know whether what I am going to stay fit in here bit if it don't I am sorry so I began to share:

I STARTED OFF saying I heard what KEVIN (YOUNGER DEACON-CHAIRMAN OF DEACON BOARD) said....now it could have been possible for nations to hear this as well. THEN I SAID LET'S GO TO EXODUS 33:7 - 10 and I began to share that THE TABERNACLE TO MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THE dwelling or headquarters of Moses, and place where public business of nation was transacted.

I also told them that Exodus 33:7-10 meant "Reference to Tabernacle" Sacred Places, The Tabernacle Set up.

Exodus 33:9 meant "Miracles" Miracles in Upper Region & In The Atmosphere

Exodus 33:10 meant Prayer - Postures - Standing.

And my Pastor never once said I was wrong...

SOMETHING I CIRCLED IN MY WORK BOOK AND MADE NOTES IN MY WORKBOOK BUT I DID NOT SHARE with anyone until now: It made me think about a lady I know in Israel when I saw picture and Word Study on Tabernacle.

MISHKAN "Tabernacle"...and in my workbook above picture I wrote M. in Israel, Me and S.A. now S A does not stand for South America but for some reason me mind went to Saudi Arabia for this is how lady in Israel caught my attention she shared an article about Saudi Arabia.

Let's go to John 10:9

Jesus is door, if any man enter in he shall be saved, shall go in and out and find pasture. Jesus: Shepherd of Sheep.

verse 9...I am door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Now let's deal with old phrase that many people have heard if they watched cowboy pictures before "Go west, young man!"

With gate to Tabernacle being on east side, to go east would be to move away from God and to go West would be to move toward HIM. The east wind was an ill wind of bad tidings(Scriptures on east: Genesis 3:24, Genesis 4:16, Genesis 16:12, I Kings 11:7, Isaiah 2:6).

Let's go to Exodus 27:1-8: THE BRONZE ALTAR

I am only going to write out Exodus 27:8.

GOD REMINDS MOSES "as it was shown to you in mountain, so they shall make it."

Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee in mount, so shall they make it.

Exodus 27:1: Dimensions

Exodus 27:2, 4, 5, 8: Its Construction

Exodus 27:6, 7: Its Staves and Rings

Exodus 27:3: Its Utensils

The bronze altar: Once those who would worship God had entered into a relationship with HIM by divinely appoint way, gate, first item they would encounter/see was bronze altar.

Let's go to Exodus 30:17-21

Speakers and Hearers. The LORD spoke to Moses. The Laver in Court made of brass, foot of brass. When they go up into temple they shall wash with water, wash their hands and feet.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIVING WATER

verse 17...And LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

verse 18...Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between tabernacle of congregation and altar, and thou shalt put water therein.

MISSIONS

In addition, Paul tells us that we should live peaceably with all men, if possible, and when it is in our power to do so (Romans 12:18). There are times when it is indeed within our power to promote peace. For instance, when we are in a heated discussion our choice of words becomes very important. Our choice of words to convey our message can fall between range of inflammatory to conciliatory. The Bible provides food for thought in this area. Consider, “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger (Proverbs 15:1).” So we should ask ourselves, “Are we trying to live peaceably?” There are times when answer will be “yes” and times when answer will be “no.”

When others hurt us, we are exhorted not to take revenge. God has reserved revenge for himself (Romans12:19). If you ever sit down and think about this, who can better render justice then an omnipotent being, God. God tells us that, if our enemy has a need that we can meet, then meet that need. In meeting our enemy’s need we “heap coals of fire on his head” (Romans 12:30). These are very powerful words; these words let us know that God will handle things in his time. We have merely to allow God to be God. From this, we can draw conclusion that God cares for his children.
