Exodus (Program #107) – The Altar of Burnt Offering (4)
The first item that a person encountered when entering the outer court of the tabernacle in the Old Testament was the altar of burnt offering. It was here that he brought an offer, his offering to Jehovah on account of his own sins and trespasses. Bible teachers have long realized that this picture of the altar points to the very cross of Jesus Christ, where Christ offer Himself up to God for the sins of the people. But within the altar was a grate, a bronze where the fire was burn, where the offering was actually consumed. What does this grate represent and how about the four bronze rings on the corners of the grate? If the altar is a clear type, so are these inner components, a much more mysterious type of Christ’s redemption.
Today we want to come back to this matter dealing with the altar and particularly this bronze grate that was the inner component of the altar.
