There are very many significations written into the wilderness tabernacle. Absolutely everything about it, from it’s strictly prescribed construction, the furnishings in the divided environs, and the ordained function of the priests who were of the order of Levi, all are signifying Christ, and what He would accomplish. It was a model made with hands, reflecting the Christ, Daniel’s stone taken from the mountain without hands, that grew into the mountain it was taken from, filling the earth. This is specifically expressed in the Book of Hebrews:

[Heb 9:23 KJV] 23 [It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Every year, and only once each year, the high priest entered into the second tabernacle, called the Holiest of all, to offer sacrifice for himself and the errors of the people. To do this, he passed though the first tabernacle, called the Holy, passing between it’s furnishings, passing through the veil, and into the Holiest place.

[Heb 9:6-12, 24 KJV] 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God]. 7 But into the second [went] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and [for] the errors of the people: 8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9 Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10 [Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of reformation. 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us]. … 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

All of the shadow of things was acted out ritualistically by the order of Aaron and of Levi. The last legitimate function of the order was to inspect the Lamb of God, proclaim it spotless, and wash it in water. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, in endless repetition, these things were acted out by men who were of the Levitical order. When Jesus was thus treated by John the baptist, proclaimed the “Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world”, and washing Him in Jordan, another great sign was given. The Dove of Noah, who returned not again to Noah, having found no rest for the soles of her feet, found eternal and complete rest in Christ, and came to abide in Him, not in any measure, but fully. When it says that in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, the word “Godhead”, means all of the substance and essence of the being of God. Not merely His attributes, nature, character, and so forth. But all of the Living God Himself. When you saw and heard Jesus, you were not merely looking at the nature and Character of God on display. As Jesus said to a disciple, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father, and how say you to me, show us the Father?”. And, “have I been with you all this time, and you have not known me?”. So, the order of Levi was fulfilled, and a new order would arise. The order of Melchizedek. The Dove signified, among other things, that what made Melchizedek who and what he was, is in Christ.

[Heb 7:11-17 KJV] 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 14 For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 17 For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

If you are a student of scripture, you know that when Abraham stood before Melchizedek and gave tithes to him of all, and Melchizedek blessed Abraham. And without question, the lesser is blessed by the greater. And as Paul expounded, Levi, yet in the loins of Abraham, also paid tithes. ( This is a mystery, but YOU were in Christ when He ascended, though you were not yet born, that is, born of the Spirit). In the man Christ Jesus, the order of Melchizedek and of Levi were again side by side. And John, who baptized Jesus, said, “He must increase and I must decrease”. For the Father has sworn by Himself of the Christ:

[Heb 7:21 KJV] 21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

Jesus Christ would suffer and die alone, but not alone. He would be raised, glorified, and seated with the Father alone, but not alone:

[Col 2:8-12 KJV] 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

[Gal 2:20 KJV] 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

[Col 3:1 KJV] 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

When the high priest entered once a year, for himself and the people, he wore on his shoulders, two onyx stones, engraved with the names of the tribes of Jacob, symbolically bringing the whole nation in with him. When Christ entered into the heavens themselves, He did so in the order of Melchizedek. He did not bring us in with Him symbolically. He entered in, bringing us with Himself. The order of Melchizedek is not of mediators. It is of one.

When Jesus on the cross, yielded up the Spirit, the veil in the temple was rent in two, from top to bottom. This was a sign of what had just taken place. The REAL veil, of His flesh, was broken. Levi is ended.

Knowing this, that the veil is gone, necessitates that one reread the scriptures, anywhere there was a veil mentioned. For now, there is a choice to be made. Choose Levi, or chose Melchizedek. Just as knowing that all of the fullness of God dwelt in Christ, when he stood by a stone temple, and said “Destroy this temple…”, you have to choose which temple He is speaking of. He was not speaking of Solomon’s.

The opening chapters of the book of Revelation are based upon these things. In Heb. 9, there was a man made Almond tree-like lampstand in the Holy place, and in the Holiest, the actual Almond branch raised to life with a generation born with it. The veil is gone. You have to choose. The man made candlesticks, with man- gathered olive oil, made made show bread, ordinances and rituals all involving men, which so long as such things stand, the “Way” into the Holiest is not revealed. Or the real Almond, really raised, a generation raised with it, the fullness of the Godhead in it bodily. I will be very blunt. The “churches” as depicted and signified in Revelation, will never fulfill what is already fulfilled in Christ. The Holy Spirit signified this too, in that at no time ever, did the lampstand enter the Holiest. Never. That place is fulfilled in the real Resurrection. Christ is the Resurrection, and all in Him. The veil is gone. The choice must be made, the order of Levi, with mediators and overlords, infested with all manner of error and abomination, to include the seat of Satan. (Read Rev. 2&3 for yourself). Or the Order of Melchizedek, signified to John as “One like unto the Son of man”, where there is one throne, and ONE sits upon the throne.

When Jesus was no longer dead, Mary Magdilene sought the living among the dead. In that state of mind, Jesus was unrecognizable to her. She mistook Him for a gardener. Jesus said, “MARY!”. She came back to herself, and said, “MASTER!”. Jesus said, “Touch me not, I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go and tell my BRETHREN and say, I ascend to my God and YOUR God, to My Father and YOUR Father”. Jesus had no concept of Mary Magdeline outside of Himself (Nor of you, I, or all who are added to Him in faith). He fulfilled the Order of Melchezidek, saying I go to present US to the Father. The veil is gone.

The candlestick was made with 11 bowls that looked like Almonds. Seven sons of Rachel and Leah. Four sons of Zilpah and Bilhah, concubines. Seven heirs of the promises that had oil, four sons of bondage that could not be heirs of the oil. And Joseph was not in the tally. He was separated from his brethren. He became a new house. Jacob, on his death bed, acknowledged it.

But the final descriptive signification of The Christ (who being one, has many members), is in the book of Revelation. And it is not describing the candlesticks. It is describing the one like unto the Son of man. The veil is gone. You have two things to chose from. Only one can be, and is, the heir of all the promises.

144,000 of all the tribes of Israel. Christ is the Israel of God. The gospels tell you that when the young child Jesus was sent into Egypt to escape Herod, and was returned, it fulfilled the words of the prophet. This means the words of the prophet were unfulfilled until they were fulfilled. Here are those words:

[Hos 11:1 KJV] 1 When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

[Mat 2:14-15 KJV] 14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

12 times 12,000 … the complete and finished work of God in a people. The names of Dan and Ephraim do not appear in the final description of the Christ. The Judge is in the people. Ephraim is not used…the Christ of Matthew 1, the 42^nd and final generation is complete. No more will follow. As long as the Christ says, “Whosoever will, let him come”…the door is open. But it will not always be open. Jesus said that the things concerning Him, have and end. He has no end. But the door is still open. 144,000 is not a head count. It describes all the fullness of the Godhead bodily in the one like unto the Son of man. The actual head count is uncountable:

[Rev 7:9-10 KJV] 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

All of this is fulfilled in the book of Revelation, in a people who have no need of light of sun, moon or candlestick. The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the Light. The veil is gone, one must now look at the lampstands and the one standing among them, and choose between them, the heir of all things. The heir is the one who is saying “Come up here”. Are we waiting for Him, or in Him?

We, none of us, are a work in progress. We, by faith, are added to a finished work. All that needs to be brought up to speed, is the understanding of this.
