]The first area is that of initial salvation. Everyone at this level has been washed in the blood of the Lamb and will be saved from destruction in the Day of Judgment.

The Courtyard was surrounded by the linen fence of righteousness. It was lighted by the sun, indicating that Christ was crucified out in the open where He can be seen plainly by the lost. The sunlight reveals also that this area is for the saved nations of the earth, whereas the Holy Place and Most Holy Place typify the Church, the Wife of the Lamb, the royal priesthood, the Kingdom of God.

The second area is that of the ministry of the Church. This is a priestly level. It is the place where the ministries and gifts of the Holy Spirit are causing Christ to be formed in the Body of Christ.

The Holy Place of the Tabernacle speaks of the Church partaking of the broken body and shed blood of the Lamb of God, of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, and of the Spirit-filled prayer and worship that ascend from the Body of Christ to the Father in Heaven.

The purpose of the Holy Place is to bring us to the God of the Most Holy Place.

The second area was lighted at night by the Lampstand. This signifies the ministries and activities of the Holy Place will be directed by the Holy Spirit during the evening of the Day of the Lord. The manifestation of the Holy Spirit cannot be understood or appropriated by any individual who is not a member of the royal priesthood. All that is conducted here is to be under the supernatural guidance of the Spirit.

The third area, the Most Holy Place, is that of perfected holiness and obedience, of the fullness of God's Glory, of the fullness of authority and power, of the image of Christ created in the saints, and of the disciple's union with the Persons of the Father and the Son through the Person of the Holy Spirit.

The third level is lighted neither by the sun nor the Lampstand but by the Glory of God shining from between the cherubim that overshadow the Mercy Seat. The Throne of God and of the Lamb is here, having been established forever in the heart of the saint.

The first area leads into the second. The second area leads into the third. We finally will arrive at the fullness of Christ if we follow on to know the Lord.

Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. (Hosea 6:1-3)

And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. (Luke 13:32) (from The Feasts of the Lord)
