Sermon 1605 - Jacob's Ladder - 6th Message…..(Sun am 1/11/98)

JACOB'S LADDER - 6TH MESSAGE......(SUN AM 1/11/98)

This message continues to focus on the fourth rung of Jacob’s Ladder. Since the seven rungs on Jacob’s Ladder relate to the seven pieces of furniture in the Mosaic Tabernacle, this lesson deals with the Golden Candlestick, which represents the Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge found in God’s Word. First Corinthians 1:30 says that Christ Jesus is [present tense] made unto us Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption.

The Principle of the Overflow of the LORD’s Name that was revealed in this verse was depicted by the bowls, knops, and flowers on the Candlestick. We must eat the Almond Seed of Wisdom of the LORD’s Name in order for our New Man to grow. We must eat the Apple or Knop of Understanding of the LORD’s Name in order of our old man to die. The Fig Flower of Knowledge of the LORD’s Name is what sanctifies us and sets us apart from the world, the flesh, and the Devil. The Fragrance of the Fig Flower is the overflowing portion or the Prudence of the LORD’s Name that redeems our wrong choices.
