4 Pillars of the SANCTUARY Entrance

4 Pillars of the SANCTUARY Entrance

And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework:
and their pillars shall be four,
Exodus 27:16

Q: What do the 4 pillars at the gate of the Sanctuary represent?
The pillars represent both truth & God's people-God's people with the TRUTH....
Truth- ...which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
1 Timothy 3:15
God's People- Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,... and I will write upon him the name of my God,
Revelation 3:12


Q: How does God know them?
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure,
having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are His.
And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 2 Timothy 2:19
Q: What is this "seal" they have in the end times? Where is this "seal" found?
A: In His Sabbath commandment...... "The Sabbath commandment contains elements not contained in any of the other commandments. It states the name of the Lawgiver (LORD), His territory (heaven and Earth), and His title (Creator). These three components comprise what is known as a seal and lend authority to the law." AmazingDiscoveries

*The 4 pillars to the entrance of the Sanctuary were 3 pathways between the 4 pillars. (a pathway between each 2 pillars).
Christ said - Jesus saith unto him,
1- I am the way,
2- the truth,
3- and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
John 14:6

And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework:
and their pillars shall be four,.... Exodus 27:16

* Also, the symbolism of the 3 pathways between the 4 pillars could represent the Trinity/Godhead, with each playing a role in the plan of Redemption laid out in the Sanctuary.
Christ- Outer Court (Justification)
Holy Spirit - Inner Court (Sanctification)
God the Father - Most Holy Place (Judgment)

Preaching Justification (Grace) - Sanctification (Obedience) = CHEAP GRACE

Preaching Sanctification (Obedience) - Justification (Grace) = LEGALISM

JUSTIFICATION + SANCTIFICATION = 

TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH
