(Hebrews 7:25; 9:24) Intercession shapes both the one who prays and the one being prayed for. Intercessory prayer Is both a privilege and an assignment.

(Exodus 38:1-2) The brazen altar is a picture of Christ’s substitutionary work on the cross. The altar is full of symbolism: the wood as Christ’s body and the brass as God’s judgment.

God’s divine order of the tabernacle intentionally begins with two pieces of brass.
