We in Him and He in us
A worship service should follow the seven-fold Covenant pattern:
Call to Worship (Genesis – Sabbath)
…..Confession of Sin (Exodus – Passover)
……….Ascension of Praise (Leviticus – Firstfruits)
……………Teaching the Word (Numbers – Pentecost)
……….Offertory (Deuteronomy – Trumpets)
…..Communion (Joshua – Atonement)
Thanksgiving & Dismissal (Judges – Booths)
This pattern also structures the Creation week (Genesis 1), the Tabernacle speeches (Exodus 25-31) and the Ascension offering (Leviticus 1).
What is interesting is that the Firmament is Day 2 (Red Sea – death), but the Tabernacle puts it at Day 6 because Adam needs resurrection (Jordan).
So, in our services, at confession of sin, the saints are in the Laver. At Communion, the Laver is in the saints. We in Him and He in us.
