Thurs.’s Devo - Posts and Pillars

Read Ex. 36:35-38 The door of the tabernacle was a tapestry of blue, purple, and scarlet which are colors of royalty and blood. Jesus told us that He is the door and the only way to God is through this door called salvation. Four posts were made of wood to represent the cross; the hooks were made of gold which represents God’s wisdom and glory. It was God’s perfect plan to have Jesus nailed to a cross. The sockets were of silver to represent redemption. Every nail that pierced Jesus spoke redemption clear and loud. I wonder if these 4 posts represent Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They are the ones that penned the crucifixion for us to read and understand. Then 5 pillars were made with gold hooks but their sockets were made of brass. A pillar is a support for a building standing as a monument of victory. Brass represents “word” whether God’s or man’s and in this case it would be God’s. I wonder if these didn’t represent Old Testament heroes like: Noah, Moses, Abraham, Elijah, or David; people who only had the spoken Word to lead them. I don’t know…only speculation but these would be my picks! God, however has a hall of fame written in Hebrews 11 and the first four mentioned are Abel, Enoch, Noah, and Abraham. If I had the space I would write out Heb. 11:32-40 because it brings me to tears. They are the posts and pillars of the faith. I would encourage you to read it because these are the ones who are our cloud of witnesses in Heb. 12:1 who watch us and cheer us on. They are watching to see us complete what they started. We can be the fulfillment of their prophesies if we will appropriate the kingdom into our lives. Lord, may we fulfill our destiny.
