THE LORD'S PRESENCE AS KNOWN BY THE INDIVIDUAL OR IN THE ASSEMBLY NO. 2

THE LORD’S PRESENCE AS KNOWN BY THE INDIVIDUAL OR IN THE ASSEMBLY NO. 2

I had a talk with an objector last evening as to the holiest. He said he would agree with us if I would allow that Hebrews 10 was individual. I replied I admit that it sets forth the right of each individual believer. That each has a right of entrance into the holiest once and for ever, but ^[p. 158] I added — that is not the question. The question is — Do I enjoy that right here or must I go to heaven for it? After some hesitation he admitted that it is our right always. Then I added — When the Lord comes into the assembly He is the minister of the holy places; we accompany Him as the High Priest, and He there as the Apostle, declares and propounds the Father and His things. As far as I see the tabernacle was the type of heaven for earth, of which we have the reality now morally by the presence of our Lord in our midst.

I quite like your PS. and the way you ascribe a feast to Moses and a feast to the Priest. I do not see that you can dispense with Moses or the Apostle for us — the assembly of God passing on to heaven.
