Do we love others only when it's convenient to us or when it might benefit us in some way? Or do we love others even when it's inconvenient?
And Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it. Every morning when he dresses the lamps he shall burn it, and when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a regular incense offering before the LORD throughout your generations.
Exodus 30:7-8 ESV
The Menorah is a 3D metaphor of the Holy Spirit and the incense altar is a metaphor of our prayers and worship. Prayer, worship, and the presence of the Holy Spirit go together. The Spirit inspires and guides prayer, and also prays on our behalf. See Romans 8:26-27. Conversely, our prayers and worship invite the presence of the Spirit.
And you shall make two golden rings for it. Under its molding on two opposite sides of it you shall make them, and they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it. You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
Exodus 30:4-5 ESV
The incense altar only has 2 rings for its carry-poles instead of 4. Only about waist height, it is the smallest and lightest of the Tabernacle furnishings, but the requirement for carry-poles indicates that it is still not to be treated like baggage in the wilderness wanderings. Just like the Ark of the Covenant, it is to be carried on the shoulders of four men, not on a wagon or in a pack. Our prayers to God and worship are sacred and should be treated as sacred.
Zion is destined for radiance by decree of the God of Israel.
“Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord (Yahuwah) is risen upon you.
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.”
Isaiah 60:1-3 NKJV
While the “darkness” shall cover the peoples, Yah will shine from Zion.
The Aaronic priesthood had a definite beginning, has suffered numerous interruptions, and Hebrews 11 talks about a change in the priesthood. How can this be if God's Law never changes?
