HIS CONSECRATION
SERIES THE PRIEST,AND HIS GARMENTS. LESSON 4.
THE PURPOSE OF CONSECRATION.
To Hallow (set apart, purify) them, to minister unto me in the priests office,
Ex. 29:1.
The ceremony of their consecration is typical of the consecration of the New
Testament Priesthood.
THE CONSECRATION. Ex.29:1-34, Ex.40:12-15, Lev.8. Ex.29.
1 . Seven days shalt thou consecrate them, v.35, Lev.8:33. Showing that
consecration doesn't come overnight but involves a definite process over
a period of time.
7 is the Number of fullness and perfection showing that the Nation of
Priests will reach full perfection as a result of this process of
consecration.
2. Brought to the Door, v.4.
Jesus said "I am the Door". The Priest to be brought to Him - this
speaks of a close relationship with Him, and a separation from everything
else.
3. Wash them with water, v.4.
Speaks of Water Baptism, the priest was washed by another in his initial
consecration, but hereafter he had to daily wash himself at Laver. We
are baptised by another but then we must continually wash ourselves with
the washing of the water of the Word.
4. Clothed, v.5,9.
Just as the Priest had to be clothed properly so we must be clothed with
spiritual garments. Note the list of spiritual garments the
Bible talks about.
The Garments of -
1. salvation, Isa.61:10.
2. Robe of Righteousness, Isa.61.
3. Praise, Isa.61:3.
4. Cloak of Zeal, Isa.59:17
5. Vengeance, Isa.59:17.
6. Strength, Isa.52:1
7. Love, Col.3:14.
8. Humility, 1 Pet.5:5.
9. Service, Ex.31:10.
10. Heathen (missionary vision) Isa.49:18
5. Anointed, v.7.
Just as the Priest had to have a special anointing, so the New Testament
priesthood (this subject covered in next lesson).
THE OFFERINGS
1. A sin offering (a bullock) v,10-14.
Jesus is our sin offering. This speaks to us of the fact that the Priest
must have a thorough grounding, understanding and experience of the
finished work of Calvary, so that he may minister it effectively to
others.
2. A burnt offering (a ram), v.15-18.
Jesus is our burnt offering speaking of total surrender to the Father's
will. Showing that the Priest must be grounded in the truth of complete
dedication and surrender to the Father's will in all things, that he may
minister this truth unto others and make disciples of all men.
3. The ram of consecration v.19-28.
This word "consecration" means "to fill the hands" in other words this
offering speaks of giving the Priest something to minister "to fill his
hands".
Note the ceremony -
(a) Blood on the right ear, thumb, and toe of the Priest, v.20.
This speaks of the blood cleansing our hearing, service and walk.
Blood on the ear - speaks of love-slave relationship as it was the
right ear of the slave that was pierced.
(b) Take all the inward parts of the ram - which is the breast and the
right shoulder, v.22. and bread v.23.
The breast speaks of - heart ministry of love etc.
The shoulder speaks of - responsibility and burden bearing.
The bread speaks of - the truths of the word etc.
(c) Take the breast and wave it. v.26.
Take the shoulder and heave it. v.27
To wave is horizontal while to heave is up and down thus forming a
cross.
This shows the Priest is to minister of the breast and shoulder
from the centre of the Cross. His life is to be in the finished
work of the Cross.
(d) Eat the flesh of the ram (the shoulder and breast) and the bread
v.32-33.
Be partakers of His consecration, and all that the shoulder and
breast and bread speak of. Let these things become a part of you,
then you will have something to minister.
