The Old Testament tabernacle was meticulously crafted according to divine instruction and served as the central place of worship and communion between God and His people during Israel’s wilderness journey. Far more than a portable sanctuary, the tabernacle was the tangible manifestation of God’s presence dwelling among His covenant people. Its detailed construction, from the outer court to the Most Holy Place, was imbued with theological significance, providing the nation of Israel with rich symbolism in their worship. 

The alter of incense was a sacred piece of furniture in the tabernacle used for burning incense as a daily offering to the Lord. It was located just outside the Holy of Holies. For the New Testament believer, the altar of incense has tons of typological significance, with layers of prophetic meaning, holding truths that find their fullest expression in Christ. 

The tabernacle wasn’t just for Israel but it testifies to the divine design that culminates in Christ’s redemptive mission and relationship with mankind. To discuss the typology behind the altar of incense specifically, we have invited Brian Hedges, pastor at Heartland Baptist Fellowship in Harrisonville, MO and president of Word First Publishing.

The trumpet is one of the most often used symbols in all of scripture. We see, particularly in the Old Testament, that the sound of a trump was used to gather an assembly, to call soldiers to war, and to draw people into worship. The Bible presents us with trumpets that call us into Christ’s arms, and trumpets that mark destruction during the tribulation.

How do the trumpets differ, and how do they help us better understand God’s grand design? Today, provost of Living Faith Bible Institute Brandon Briscoe has invited James Fyffe, faculty professor of Missiology at the Living Faith Bible Institute to do a BIble study on the topic of the "trumpets" of Scripture.

In this episode with Pastor Brian Hedges we look at what the Bible says about figures, types & shadows. What is the value of typology? How do we properly connect types in scripture? Brian also shares about the pitfalls of forcing pictures and illusions in scripture.

In this episode with professor of Genesis Sam Miles, we work through the six days of creation/restoration adjacent to human history. We also cover typology in Genesis 1 regarding Christ’s eternal Kingdom, beginning with a principle in 2 Peter 3:8.
