Infos

In this book, ‘the author reaches out to believers who trust in the truth of Holy Scripture, but who may not necessarily appreciate the relevance of pre-Christian worship to that described and laid down in the New Testament – anyone of faith would gain a great deal from reading this monograph and even perhaps some who do not share this faith, but are interested in learning more of the history and meaning of worship!’
The Bible relates how God created men and women in his image that they might commune with him and glorify his holy name. But the Creator foresaw the risk of them wanting to become independent of his rule. Even after their fall from grace, God continued to love them and devised a plan for his holy presence to remain with his people, without violating his righteous estate. He attained this Holy Communion by instructing them in the ways of worship that they might come to know and love him in spirit and truth.
Old Testament Scripture describes how God taught his people to approach him through three vital steps imposed by the construction of a sanctuary for his most holy presence. He also revealed to them copies of the eternal pattern of worship practiced in the celestial tabernacle of the paradisiacal kingdom of heaven. Although these regulations sustained his chosen people for more than a thousand years, God eventually declared them to be only an introductory form of true worship!
